I see it in the repo. I'll build it myself I guess.

There's so many dependencies to Love, it'd be nice if there was a CI setup. I might a love cross compiler vps on my free time

Normally for OS X and Windows you can get the dependencies from
http://love2d.org/sdk/ , although those downloads haven't been updated yet for SDL 2.
You can download semi-nightly prebuilt Windows builds of 0.9.0 here:
32 bit or
64 bit.

I'll just wait for the release (and for all the libs that I use to be updated)

So, if I get this right, you get access to the clipboard, whether the user wants you to or not?
I was under the impression that ctrl-V sort of 'emulated' the necessary keystrokes, or otherwise was the system inputting clipboard data in the active application, on user's demand. I thought it'd be a useful way to circumvent keyloggers (if one is suspected), since I wouldn't actually type in passwords when pasting.
Is it just me, or is random clipboard access, for any application a huge security breach?
