Fixes

• Fixed love.filesystem.setIdentity breaking in some situations when called multiple times.
• Fixed the default love.filesystem identity when in Fused mode in Windows.
• Fixed love.system.openURL sometimes blocking indefinitely on Linux.
• Fixed love.joystick.setGamepadMapping.
• Fixed Shader:getWarnings returning unnecessary information.
• Fixed a potential crash when Shader objects are garbage collected.
• Fixed love.graphics.newMesh(vertexcount, ...) causing the Mesh to do instanced rendering.
• Fixed Mesh:getVertexMap.
• Fixed Image:refresh generating mipmaps multiple times if mipmap filtering is enabled.
• Fixed Mesh:setDrawRange when the Mesh has a vertex map set.
• Fixed internal detection of the 'position' and 'effect' shader functions.
• Fixed some cases of noncompliant shader code not properly erroring on some nvidia drivers.
• Fixed Texture memory leak when Meshes are garbage collected.
• Fixed the default line join mode to be 'miter' instead of an undefined value.
• Fixed Canvas:getPixel to error if the coordinates are not within the Canvas' bounds.
• Fixed detection of compressed textures to work regardless of the file's extension.
• Fixed the default error handler screen's text size when highdpi mode is enabled on a Retina monitor in OS X.
• Fixed the default error handler background color when sRGB mode is enabled for the window.
• Fixed the state of wireframe mode when love.window.setMode is called.
• Fixed love.window.setMode to fall back to the largest available mode if a width or height greater than the largest supported is specified and exclusive-fullscreen mode is used.

Renamed APIs

• Renamed all cases of FSAA to MSAA. The FSAA names still exist for backward-compatibility.

Other Changes

• Updated the Lua wrapper code for modules to avoid crashes when the module's instance is created, deleted, and recreated.
• Updated internal code for handling garbage collection of love objects to be more efficient.
• Updated love's initialization code to trigger a Lua error if love.conf has an error in it.
• Updated love.filesystem.getSaveDirectory and friends to strip double-slashes ("//") from their returned paths.
• Updated the error message when love.filesystem.write or File:open fails because the directory doesn't exist.
• Updated error message when love.math.setRandomSeed(0) is attempted.
• Updated love.physics.newChainShape to error if the number of arguments is invalid.
• Updated love-created threads to use names visible in external debuggers.
• Updated SpriteBatch:unbind / SpriteBatch:flush to use less VRAM if the SpriteBatch has the static usage hint.
• Updated love.graphics.newImage, love.image.newImageData, etc. to leave less temporary Lua-owned memory around.
• Updated love.graphics.push to accept different stack types to push. Current types are "transform" and "all".
• Updated love shaders to accept GLSL ES precision qualifiers (lowp, mediump, and highp) on variables, although they do nothing.
• Updated the error message for love.graphics.newShader to be less cryptic if an invalid filename is given.
