love.graphics.draw(mesh) will draw the mesh instancecount times, using hardware instancing when available. The only way to draw individual instances differently from each other is to use the love_InstanceID variable in a vertex shader.
Added love.graphics.isSupported(“instancing”). Hardware instancing is supported if true, otherwise a (slower) pseudo-instancing fallback is used internally when drawing instanced meshes.
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.)
Canvases and Images are now subclasses of the new Texture class.
Added setTexture and getTexture methods for Meshes, ParticleSystems, and SpriteBatches (the old set/getImage methods are deprecated but not removed.)
Canvas texture coordinates are no longer flipped.
Added Joystick:setVibration(left, right), Joystick:getVibration, and Joystick:isVibrationSupported.
left and right are numbers between 0 and 1 which correspond to the strength of the gamepad's left and right rumble motors, if it has them.
- 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
Games which are fused (either via appending the .love to the executable or with --fused) automatically have the changes which previously only applied to fused games in release mode.
As always, I had great plans for the no game screen, but these great plans take
way too much time to implement. So I settled for something simpler, i.e. the
standard LSD stuff.
