- added a new CompressedData type to love.image
- added love.image.isCompressed(file or data)
- love.graphics.newImage automatically tests for compression when loading a file
- added love.graphics.isSupported strings for DXT, BC5, and BC7
Compressed textures meant to be used on the GPU offer huge performance gains when
- loading the texture from a file
- loading the texture from RAM to VRAM
- loading mipmaps
- rendering

- 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

love::math::Math is now a singleton, so other modules can use it via
love::math::Math::instance.
Removed duplicate implementations of various rng helper functions.
ParticleSystem now uses love::math::Math's RNG.
New function: love.math.triangulate(vertices)
Accepts a table or list of x/y coordinate pairs and returns a table of tables.
The inner tables are the triangles the polygon is composed of.
Works on all *simple* polygons, i.e. a closed chain of vertices that does not
intersect itself. Attempting to triangulate non-simple polygons is undefined
behavior - in the best case it throws an error, in the worst case it returns
an invalid triangulation.
Polygons must be ordered in *clockwise order* with respect to the love
coordinate system. Attempting to triangulate a ccw polygon will throw an
error.
Examples:
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,0, 1,1, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2)
triangles == {
{1,1, 2,0, 2,2},
{1,1, 2,2, 0,2},
{1,1, 0,2, 0,0},
}
triangles = love.math.triangulate({0,0, 1,1, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2})
-- same as above
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,2, 2,2, 2,0, 1,1, 0,0)
-- error - polygons is in counterclockwise order
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,0, 1,3, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2)
-- undefined behavior - polygon intersects itself (because of edge 1,3)
Some additional overhead was added to newScreenshot because it doesn't use glPixelTransfer (not supported in ES2 / core GL3+, and like all GL functions has the slight potential to be buggy on some drivers). This choice might be revisited in the future.
- The "replace" color mode can easily be duplicated with love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255)
- The current color mode has no effect when a shader is active
- Color mode functionality can easily be replicated with shaders
- OpenGL ES 2 (iOS, Android, etc) does not have the functions used by love.graphics.setColorMode
setColorMask enables or disables specific color components when rendering and clearing the screen.
For example, setColorMask(true, false, true, true) will prevent the green component of the color of all rendered objects from being written to the current frame buffer.
setColorMask is a wrapper for http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man2/xhtml/glColorMask.xml
