LÖVE 11.0 released!

[unindented]

When building for macOS, should we be using the same frameworks as for 0.10.0? I don't see a 11.0 version here: https://love2d.org/sdk/

Looks like I have a lot of work to do. Some shaders of mine are giving complaints probably because of the switch from 255-based colors to 1.0-based colors.

Until the new ones go up on that page, you can download stock 11.0 and copy the frameworks out of love.app/Contents/Frameworks/.

Running the installer on Windows 10 produces some interesting text...

Maybe it's some kind of ASCII - Unicode mixup?

Is good to know Love2D have a new release to keep the project up to date.

But this was a big-breaking-code change:

Changed colour values to be in the range 0-1, rather than 0-255

Saludos!

after updating my game to 11.0, it seems to sometimes not create canvases. it doesn't produce an error, just sometimes the canvases are all black and drawing to them does nothing. I'll have to do more testing. oh, and the new deprecation thing is nice, but it took me a while to notice. the text is tiny at high DPI.

edit: here's some code that generates a 8x8 grid of 64 small (64x64) canvases, and draws a white rectangle to them. you should just see a 512x512 white square. when you press any keyboard key it'll regenerate all 64 canvases. if I mash the keyboard to make a ton of canvases, some will be eventually black, and if it's like what I've experienced in my game it won't generate an error but you can't draw anything to them, they're opaque black. code runs on both 0.10.2 and 11.0, never generates a black square in 0.10.2, predictably generates black squares in 11.0. in my testing it's pretty consistently happening between 64 and 131 keypresses, and so on, getting worse over time.

I'm using the appimage on arch linux with vega 56 and open source drivers, and it's the same story with intel integrated graphics on a laptop.

Code: Select all

lg = love.graphics
canvas = {}
count = 0
function reload()
	count = count + 1
	canvas = {}
	for i = 0,63 do
		canvas[i] = lg.newCanvas(64,64)
		canvas[i]:renderTo(function() lg.rectangle("fill", 0,0, 64,64) end)
	end
end

function love.load() reload() end
function love.keypressed() reload() end

function love.draw()
	for i = 0,63 do lg.draw(canvas[i], i%(8)*64, math.floor(i/8)*64) end
	lg.print(count, 520, 0, 0, 4)
end

Cool. One of my proposals body:isTouching(other) has made it into the new version.
Would be great if we get body:getTransform() and contact:getOther() in the future too.
Well done!

Indeed, NSIS fails to interpret the letter Ö, not sure what the source and destination encoding is though that fails; this isn't a new issue though. Edit: tries to decode UTF-8 "Ö" with ISO-8859-1.

Well, now the 11.0 version change makes more sense!

You're right... I produced hundred of tutorials videos for Love and now I need to check which one is using colors.
Corona SDK did the same once upon a time, a big mess too.

Can confirm. Apparently it has something to do with the canvases getting garbage collected and re-created from the same memory. Also happens if you release the canvas manually. I guess the new version doesn't release GL objects properly? The last one didn't had this problem.
