- Add love.graphics.setDepthMode(testcomparison, enablewrites).
- Add love.graphics.setMeshCullMode.
- Add love.graphics.setFrontFaceWinding.
Depth testing and depth writes require a depth buffer to work. The mesh cull mode controls whether front/back faces of a mesh are culled. The front face winding determines whether a clockwise or counterclockwise-oriented face in a mesh is considered front facing.

The above are batched together into a single draw call when called without other drawing calls in between, as long as the following criteria are met:
- The texture is the same.
- The primitive type is the same (points cannot be batched with non-points).
- The love.graphics state is the same (aside from the current color - i.e. setColor - and the transform state).
- The active shader’s uniform values are the same.
You can examine the ‘drawcalls’ field of love.graphics.getStats() to help determine if your code is allowing for optimum batching.

- Added love.math.newTransform.
- Added love.graphics.applyTransform and love.graphics.replaceTransform.
- love.graphics.draw/print/printf, Text:add/addf, and SpriteBatch:add can accept a Transform argument.
- love.graphics.push can accept an optional Transform as a second argument, which will apply the Transform after pushing the matrix stack,
- Shader:send can accept Transform objects when sending to a mat4 uniform variable.

Text objects are Drawable objects that represent text on the screen. They decouple text drawing from text parsing and vertex uploading, in a similar manner to SpriteBatches. They also optionally allow efficient batching of text from the same Font in different relative coordinate transformations, without having many draw calls.
Text objects currently have the following methods:
Text:set(textstring) -- replaces any existing text in the object with the new string.
Text:setf(textstring, wraplimit, alignmode) -- replaces any existing text with formatted text using the new string.
Text:getFont() -- gets the Font object used for this Text object.
Text:getWidth() -- gets the width in pixels of the most recently added text in the Text object.
Text:getHeight() -- gets the height in pixels of the most recently added text in the Text object.
Text:add(textstring, x, y, angle, sx, sy, ox, oy, kx, ky) -- adds a new string to the text object using the specified relative coordinate transformation, without replacing existing text. This behaves much like SpriteBatch:add.
Text:addf(textstring, wraplimit, alignmode, x, y, angle, sx, sy, ox, oy, kx, ky) -- adds a new formatted string to the text object using the specified relative coordinate transformation.
Text:clear() -- clears all text from the object.
