Is Love2D still being updated?

Post by TechBoxNorth »

Greetings!

I tried Love2D some time ago on version 11.4 and this is still the latest version. How often is Love2D updated?

Thanks!

Because 12 will come out later and include big changes (like Vulkan!), but here and there problems and issues (like sometimes crazy garbage collection issues or luajit randomly generate slow code in loops because why not), some of them fixed in newer luajit versions, that love 11.4 don't use, so that's why 11.5 will come out before 12.0

Hi and welcome to the forums!

New major versions come out at "When it's done".

New minor versions come out a bit more frequently, when people report bugs that need fixing, at "When it's done".
