Physics


Graphics

  • Added a Metal backend to love.graphics, available on macOS 10.15+ and iOS 13+.
  • Added a Vulkan backend to love.graphics, available on Windows, Linux, and Android 7+.
  • Added '--renderers a,b,c' and '--excluderenderers a,b,c' command line arguments.
  • Added t.renderers and t.excluderenderers love.conf options.







Changes

  • Changed the primary build system for Linux to CMake instead of autotools.
  • Changed the minimum runtime macOS version to 10.15.
  • Changed the minimum runtime iOS version to 13.0.
  • Changed the minimum runtime Windows version to Windows 7 SP1 (64 bit).
  • Changed the minimum runtime graphics requirement to OpenGL 3.3+, OpenGL ES 3.0+, Vulkan 1.0+, or Metal.



  • Changed love.filesystem.exists to no longer be deprecated.
  • Changed love.data.hash to have a container type parameter.
  • Changed the size parameter of love.data.newDataView to be optional.
  • Changed the default font from Vera size 12 to Noto Sans size 13.
  • Changed TrueType and OpenType font handling to have improved kerning and character combining support.



  • Changed the Texture class and implementation to no longer have separate Canvas and Image subclasses.
  • Changed Textures created from image files and from ImageData to no longer hold onto a CPU copy of their pixel data after creation.
  • Changed love.graphics.newImage to error instead of loading a placeholder texture, when the image dimensions are too large for the system.
  • Changed love.graphics.newImage to allow creating a mipmapped texture with less than the full mipmap range, instead of erroring.
  • Changed love.graphics.newMesh to no longer default to the "fan" Mesh draw mode.
  • Changed the behaviour of Meshes to no longer allow a vertex map or index buffer when the "fan" mesh draw mode is used.
  • Changed love.graphics.draw(Mesh) to no longer error if the Mesh has no 'VertexPosition' attribute but does have custom vertex attributes.
  • Changed Mesh:getVertexFormat to use named fields, to match the new vertex format parameter setup in love.graphics.newMesh.
  • Changed love.window.setMode to no longer clear the contents of Canvases or otherwise recreate graphics resources.
  • Changed love.graphics.rectangle, love.graphics.polygon, and other shape drawing APIs to provide texture coordinates to shaders, for filled shapes.
  • Changed love.graphics.points to require 'love_PointSize' to be set in the vertex shader, if a custom shader is used.
  • Changed love.graphics.setCanvas to always clear auto-generated temporary depth and stencil buffers when they're used.
  • Changed love.graphics.clear to no longer be affected by love.graphics.setScissor or love.graphics.setColorMask.
  • Changed love.graphics.setDepthMode with the depth write parameter set to true to error if the active Canvases or window don't have a depth buffer.
  • Changed text layout and rendering in high-dpi situations to be more consistent across DPI scales.
  • Changed Shader code parsing to ignore shader entry point functions inside comments.
  • Changed Shader code to use GLSL3 (GLSL 3.30 or GLSL ES 3.00) by default.
  • Changed position output coordinate space in vertex shaders to be consistent across all graphics APIs and regardless of whether a Canvas is active.
    • Clip-space output is y-up. Texture contents and pixel shader coordinates are y-down.


  • Changed audio file decoding to choose the most appropriate decoder based on file contents instead of the file extension.
  • Changed audio initialization to give a more descriptive error if it fails.
  • Changed Videos to stream audio from the file instead of loading all the video file into memory for use with audio decoding.
  • Changed love.math.perlinNoise and love.math.simplexNoise to use higher precision numbers for its internal calculations.
  • Changed the t.accelerometerjoystick love.conf flag to be unset by default.
  • Changed the window 'depth' field in love.conf and love.window.setMode/updateMode/getMode to be a boolean instead of a bit count number.



  • Updated Box2D from 2.3 to 2.4.1
  • Updated LuaSocket from 3.0-rc1 to 3.1.0.


Deprecations


Removals


Fixes

  • Fixed BezierCurve:render adding collinear points in some situations.
  • Fixed sound Decoders to cause a Lua error instead of hard-crashing when memory for the decoding buffer can't be allocated.
  • Fixed full platform-specific paths in love.filesystem APIs to use a consistent canonical representation for the platform.
