The list includes RGBA with 4-bit components, RGBA with 10-bit R, G, and B components and a 2-bit alpha component, RGB with 9-bit RGB components and a 5-bit exponent component (for HDR rendering), and several more.

love.graphics.newImage(path, “srgb”) creates a new Image whose texels are treated as being in the sRGB color space, so they are linearized when drawing/sampling from the image.
love.graphics.newCanvas(w, h, “srgb”) creates a new Canvas whose texels are treated as being in the sRGB color space, so drawing to the Canvas does a linear->sRGB conversion (but blends linearly), and sampling from it (drawing it or using it in a shader) converts from sRGB to linear space.
The "srgb" window flag does the same as Canvases for the main screen.
Canvases and Images are now subclasses of the new Texture class.
Added setTexture and getTexture methods for Meshes, ParticleSystems, and SpriteBatches (the old set/getImage methods are deprecated but not removed.)
Canvas texture coordinates are no longer flipped.
luax_pushtype keeps the object in a weak table and checks the table before creating a new userdata, so it re-uses the object's existing wrapper userdata if it can, whenever the object is pushed to Lua.
This fixes some subtle issues with love objects, where using them as keys in tables would not always work as expected (https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39398&p=112388#p112415). It also decreases the amount of new Lua objects created, saving the garbage collector some work.
- Simultanious rendering to multiple canvases requires all canvases to be the same size (limitation of pre-GL3.0 framebuffers)
- love.graphics.isSupported("mrtcanvas") was added
- love_Canvases[n] (0-based array of active canvases) can be written to in pixel shaders in the 'effects' callback function
- everything drawn to multiple canvases at once will be duplicated to all canvases if no shader is active or the standard 'effect' shader function is used

* Add `love.graphics.isSupported("hdrcanvas")' to query whether the hardware
actually supports HDR canvases.
* Add optional third argument to `love.graphics.newCanvas(w,h, type)', where
`type' is one of "normal" or "hdr" and defaults to "normal". HDR canvases
use floating point that can have values > 1 to store pixels, allowing for
HDR rendering and other higher level lighting techniques when combined with
pixel effects.
* Add `canvas:getType()'.
Error reporting now resides in Graphics::newCanvas() instead of the
previous location wrap_newFramebuffer(). Changed error text for
"Error in implementation" to point to a possible fix.
