Changes from 0.10.1

Additions

• Added lovec.exe in Windows. It is the same as love.exe but built with the Console subsystem, so it always uses or provides a console.
• Added the ability to restart the game via love.event.quit("restart").
• Added support for passing a table to love.mouse.isDown, love.keyboard.isDown, love.keyboard.isScancodeDown, Joystick:isDown, and Joystick:isGamepadDown.
• Added love.window.isMaximized.
• Added 'ellipse' area distribution to ParticleSystems.
• Added support for BC4-7 compressed texture formats in KTX files.
• Added 'shaderswitches' field to the table returned by love.graphics.getStats.
• Added Quad:getTextureDimensions.
• Added PrismaticJoint:getAxis and WheelJoint:getAxis.
• Added 2-point version of love.physics.newRevoluteJoint.
• Added table variants of Fixture:setCategory and Fixture:setMask.

• Added ChainShape:getNextVertex, ChainShape:getPreviousVertex, EdgeShape:getNextVertex, and EdgeShape:getPreviousVertex.
• Added optional reference angle arguments to love.physics.newRevoluteJoint, love.physics.newPrismaticJoint, and love.physics.newWeldJoint.
• Added RevoluteJoint:getReferenceAngle, PrismaticJoint:getReferenceAngle, and WeldJoint:getReferenceAngle.

Deprecations

• Deprecated undocumented Shader:sendTexture, Shader:sendMatrix, Shader:sendInt, Shader:sendFloat, and Shader:sendBoolean methods.

Fixes

• Fixed love on iOS 6.
• Fixed os.execute always returning -1 on Linux.
• Fixed the love.lowmemory callback to call collectgarbage() after the callback has fired, instead of before.
• Fixed love.math.noise(nil) to error instead of returning nil.
• Fixed an occasional crash when a Thread ends.
• Fixed a hang at the end of video playback with some video files.
• Fixed the video decoding thread to not do any work when there are no videos to decode.
• Fixed love.graphics.newVideo(file) to no longer error if love.audio is disabled.
• Fixed a rare bug in Source:play for streaming Sources if the associated OpenAL source object was previously used for a static Source.
• Fixed corrupted Font glyphs in rare cases.
• Fixed stencils inside Canvases on some OpenGL ES 2 devices.
• Fixed an OpenGL error in OpenGL ES 3 when multiple render targets are used.
• Fixed love.window.setMode crashing when called with a Canvas active.
• Fixed love.window.maximize to update the reported window dimensions immediately.
• Fixed gamma correction of ImageFonts and BMFonts with colored images.
• Fixed the default shader improperly applying gamma correction to per-vertex colors when gamma correction is requested but not supported on OpenGL ES.
• Fixed text coloring breaking because of an empty string.
• Fixed large burst of particles when dramatically increasing the emission rate of a ParticleSystem.
• Fixed SpriteBatch:setBufferSize to keep old sprite data if it can fit.
• Fixed MouseJoint:getBodies unconditionally erroring.
• Fixed memory leak in Text:set.
• Fixed incorrect kerning caused by using kerning information for the wrong character in some fonts.
• Fixed ImageData:setPixel, ImageData:getPixel, [[ImageData:mapPixel], SoundData:setSample, and SoundData:getSample to properly handle non-integer coordinates.

Other changes

• Improved performance of Channel methods by roughly 2x in many cases.
• Improved performance of Shader:send when small numbers of arguments are given.

• Updated love.filesystem.mount to accept a DroppedFile as the first parameter.
• Updated Shader:send to do type and argument checking based on the specified uniform variable's information instead of the arguments to the function.
• Updated Shader:send to accept a flat table for matrix uniforms.
