love.window.getWidth/getHeight were originally added to help deal with high-dpi mode, but the API ended up going in a different direction (love.window.getPixelScale).
--HG--
branch : minor
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.)
- 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
