- 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
Added:
love.graphics.setLineJoin(linejoin)
linejoin = love.graphics.getLineJoin()
where linjoin is one of:
- none
- miter
- bevel
Bevel and miter drawing is slightly faster than the 0.8 default (miter), while
the `none` join mode will be slower when overdraw is enabled.
- 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

branch : image-CompressedData
- 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

branch : MRTs
* 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()'.
Also improved memory usage in SpriteBatch. (No need to retain full copy of
sprites in memory. Can read that data back later to save data from OpenGL
context destruction).
