Other changes

  • Changed high-dpi functionality to require much less code (often none at all) for graphics to appear at the correct sizes and positions.
  • Changed love.graphics.print and friends to ignore carriage returns.
  • Changed the 'multiply' BlendMode to error if not used with the 'premultiplied' BlendAlphaMode, since the formula only works with that anyway.
  • Changed the matrix variant of Shader:send to interpret the matrix as row-major by default, instead of column-major.
  • Changed the variant of Canvas:newImageData which accepts x/y/width/height to also require slice and mipmap index parameters, which are used when the Canvas isn't a 2D type or has mipmaps.
  • Changed some love.graphics, love.window, and love.event APIs to cause an error if a Canvas is active.
  • Changed stenciling functionality with a Canvas active to require stencil=true (or a custom stencil-formatted Canvas) to be set in love.graphics.setCanvas.
  • Changed Mesh:setDrawRange to take 'start' and 'count' parameters instead of 'min' and 'max'.
  • Changed the variant of love.image.newImageData which takes dimension arguments to take an optional PixelFormat argument as well.
  • Changed the 'vsync' field of love.window.setMode and t.window in love.conf. It's now an integer with 0 disabling vsync.
  • Changed Channel and love.event.push table serialization to accept non-flat tables and detect cycles, cycles now cause an error rather than a stack overflow.
  • Changed Sources to either be playing or not playing, rather than playing, paused, or stopped. Source:stop now pauses and rewinds the Source.
  • Changed love.audio.pause() to return a list of Sources that have been paused by that call.
  • Changed Source seeking behaviour, all kinds of Sources now behave similarly when seeking past the boundaries.
  • Changed love.timer.step to return the calculated delta time.
  • Changed love.run and love.errorhandler to return a function for their main loop, which gets called until love quits.
  • Changed enet to no longer set the 'enet' global.
  • Changed love.keyboard.isDown and love.keyboard.isScancodeDown to error if an invalid enum value is given.
  • Updated and improved command line argument handling.
  • Updated the boot sequence to show an error instead of the no-game screen, if a nonexistant folder is passed in as the source game directory.
  • Updated 'love.exe --version' on Windows to print to the parent console.
  • Updated Android print rerouting and JIT compilation disabling to apply inside threads.
  • Updated invalid enum value error messages to show a list of the valid enum values.
  • Updated Source:seek to work if the Source isn't playing.
  • Updated love.math.random to have improved numeric distribution.
  • Updated love.graphics to support Core Profile OpenGL 3.3+ when available.
  • Updated Shaders to always expose derivative functions (dFdx, dFdy, fwidth) when available in OpenGL ES.
  • Updated Shaders to allow using VERTEX and PIXEL as variable names in shader code.
  • Updated love.graphics.circle, love.graphics.ellipse, love.graphics.arc, and love.graphics.rectangle to take transformation scale into account when determining the number of segments to use.
  • Updated the error message when bad values are given to love.graphics.line.
  • Updated Font glyph generation to improve antialiasing.
  • Updated Canvas:newImageData to return an ImageData with a format that matches the Canvas' as closely as possible.
  • Updated love.graphics.newImage to treat file names ending with "@2x", "@3x", etc. as a pixel density scale factor if none is explicitly supplied.
  • Updated the maximum love.graphics transformation/state stack depth from 64 to 128.
  • Updated the default error handler to allow copying the error to the clipboard when the user decides to do so.
  • Updated love.filesystem.setRequirePath to support multiple template '?' characters in each path.
  • Updated luasocket to version 3.0rc1.
  • Updated love.joystick.loadGamepadMappings so it doesn't error when given an empty string.
  • Updated love.joystick.setGamepadMapping to use the controller's name for the new mapping when possible.

Performance Improvements

  • Improved performance when drawing Textures, shapes, lines, and points by automatically batching their draw calls together when possible.
  • Improved performance of Shader:send when the Shader is not active.
  • Improved performance of love.math.randomNormal when LuaJIT's JIT compiler is enabled.
  • Improved performance of love.filesystem.lines and File:lines, especially when reading from a file inside a zip/.love.
