- Type names for love's Lua objects are specified as an argument to luax_register_type, rather than being statically defined in an array.
- luax_register_type takes a variable number of method array arguments, for registering superclass methods without copying them into the subclass' method array.
Also removed most of the header declarations for wrapper functions.
All mipmap levels must be present if custom mipmaps are used (and their sizes must be half the size of the previous mipmap level, rounded down.)
Image:getData now returns all custom mipmaps in an Image.
Enabling relative mouse mode will hide the cursor and let the system generate relative mouse move events while preventing the mouse from getting stuck at the edges of the screen (i.e. you can keep moving the mouse in one direction forever and the relative movement events will be generated accordingly.)
The reported absolute mouse position is not updated while relative mode is enabled, even while relative movement events are generated.
Previously, calling e.g. love.graphics.getFont() 10,000 times would retain the object 10,000 times (and release it 10,000 times when the Font object was garbage-collected in the Lua state.) Now it will only retain it once and release it once.
Added a ‘highdpi’ boolean flag to t.window/love.window.setMode (defaults to false.)
When the window is actually in high-dpi mode on a supported display, the graphics width and height and the mouse position are in pixels, rather than ‘window coordinates’.
Added love.window.getPixelScale. Returns the scale factor of the window from user-space points to pixels (e.g. it will be 1 normally, and 2 on a retina display in OS X with high-dpi mode enabled.)
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.
- Added love.system module, including clipboard functions.
- Added custom hardware cursors (love.mouse.newCursor, love.mouse.setCursor.)
- Revamped love.joystick:
-- added Joystick objects and moved love.joystick functions which operated on individual joysticks to methods on the Joystick objects.
-- Added love.joystick.getJoystick and love.joystick.getJoystickCount.
-- Added events for when joysticks are connected and disconnected.
-- Added 'Gamepad' methods to Joystick objects: Joystick:isGamepad, Joystick:getGamepadAxis, and Joystick:isGamepadDown. They're a common abstraction for xbox controller-like joystick across operating systems.
- Added monitor choosing support and "fullscreen desktop" mode to love.window.
- Moved unicode text input events to their own callback function (love.textinput), removed the key repeat functions from love.keyboard and made the second argument of love.keypressed a boolean saying whether the keypress was a repeat.
- liblove now works with love.window and love.graphics in OS X
