Changes from 11.3

Additions

• Added native Apple Silicon (arm64) support on macOS.
• Added a variant of love.filesystem.newFileData which accepts a Data object.
• Added Body:getLocalPoints.
• Added Font:getKerning.
• Added support for r16, rg16, and rgba16 pixel formats in Canvases.
• Added Shader:send(name, matrixlayout, data, ...) variant, whose argument order is more consistent than Shader:send(name, data, matrixlayout, ...).

Other Changes

• Changed all builds and platforms where LOVE provides LuaJIT to use LuaJIT 2.1 instead of 2.0.
• Changed love.timer.getTime to start at 0 when the module is first loaded.
• Changed certain out-of-Lua-memory situations to show a message box instead of instantly crashing.
• Changed the naming scheme of LOVE's embedded Lua files for improved integration with Lua chunkname APIs.

Fixes

• Fixed build-time compatibility with Lua 5.4.
• Fixed code compatibility with math.mod and string.gfind when LuaJIT 2.1 is used.
• Fixed errors on some systems related to > 53 bit pointer addresses, when recent versions of LuaJIT 2.1 are used.
• Fixed the default error handler showing a blank screen on some mobile devices.
• Fixed drag-and-drop to open a love game on macOS causing love.event.quit("restart") to fail.
• Fixed fused macOS apps opening other love games when drag-and-drop is used (if the fused app hasn't already removed .love files from recognized document types).
• Fixed File:isEOF when called on a dropped file.
• Fixed support for > 2GB dropped files on desktops.
• Fixed ByteData missing a Data:clone implementation.
• Fixed love.physics meter scale value persisting after love.event.quit("restart").
• Fixed audio to resume properly after interruption on iOS.
• Fixed love.graphics.newVideo to error instead of crash when an invalid video file is given.
• Fixed initial window creation to set the window's title during creation instead of after.
• Fixed the window's screen position when exiting fullscreen via love.window.setFullscreen.
• Fixed love.displayrotated being given a boolean instead of an enum string.
• Fixed memory corruption and a crash when drawing smooth lines.
• Fixed a crash in Canvas:newImageData when the pixel format's pixel byte size multiplied by its width isn't a multiple of 4.
• Fixed love.graphics.newVolumeImage when explicit mipmaps are provided.
• Fixed freezes and crashes in automatic batching when an AMD GPU is used.
• Fixed love.graphics.print and Image:replacePixels on more AMD/ATI GPUs.
• Fixed Font:setFallbacks to account for different DPI scales in each fallback font.
• Fixed Font:getWrap to not remove trailing newlines.
• Fixed Text:getWidth when the Text's string only contains spaces.
• Fixed a crash with some Intel graphics drivers on Linux.
• Fixed a hang with some Intel graphics drivers on Windows, by preventing gamma correct rendering on affected systems.
• Fixed a crash with some Intel graphics drivers on Windows when mipmapped Canvases are used.
• Fixed texture memory reported by love.graphics.getStats when a volume or array Canvas is created.
• Fixed DXT1 textures which use 1 bit alpha-cutout.
• Fixed rare issues where textures were not sent to shaders correctly.
• Fixed Shader:send(name, data, matrixlayout, ...).
• Fixed quad offsets in ParticleSystems when ParticleSystem:setOffset is not used.
• Fixed a performance issue with setting a small subrange of data in non-stream Meshes and SpriteBatches.
• Fixed rounded rectangles breaking if the rx or ry parameters are negative.
• Fixed rounded rectangle automatic points calculation when rx or ry are more than half the rectangle's size.
• Fixed source code compilation on Xcode 12+.
• Fixed source code compilation on Linux systems that don't provide posix_spawn APIs.
