All enum errors have (hopefully) been changed to a luax_enumerror, which has a
fixed error message. If additionally a list of valid options is passed, it
lists that in the error message. For every enum error with few options I've
implemented this using a getConstants call.
This solution has been designed specifically to reduce the number of template
instantiations (as I've been told that was a concern). All new template code
happens in places where there already was an instantiation of the relevant
StringMap. Of course there is still std::vector<std::string>...

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.
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
