At least everything I've written works well. 0.8.0 is my "daily driver" now and it works just great. There are of course some differences. One thing I've noticed is that love.timer.sleep now takes seconds as the argument instead of milliseconds, which causes issues
But generally, most stuff work just fine in 0.8.0. And since 0.8.0 is like the official version now, it seems rather pointless to support 0.7.2.
Oh, of course. I thought you meant some sort of SVG-support. But what has changed? The wiki doesn't mention anything..? I use mostly love.graphics.rectangle in my game, but it looks mostly the same on 0.8.0 in comparison with 0.7.2 (I think lines look slightly thicker on 0.8.0).
In pre-0.8.0 time, the line drawing implementation was broken. Among other things that meant that if you scaled a line, only its endpoints move about, the thickness remains the same. In 0.8.0, the thickness scales as well.
I relied on that behaviour for a game. In 0.8.0, there is no way to get the old behaviour back. Now my only choice is to rewrite my code, such that I do all the scaling myself, instead of letting LÖVE or OpenGL or whatever it was that did the dirty work handle it.

I noticed that as well, but it didn't break my game. In fact, it was an improvement in my opinion
But this "issue" isn't something that I suspect will break many games, so I don't think it should prevent moving love-native-android to 0.8.0.
