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.
You can now:
- Enable and disable love's modules, implementations and libraries using configure switches
- Use pkg-config for a couple of love's requirements
- Build on OSX
- Use newer versions of FreeType2
- Get a slightly better error message using automagic
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.
attenuation by distance.
Adds:
love.audio.[gs]etDistanceModel(model-identifier)
Source:[gs]etMinVolume(min-volume)
Source:[gs]etMaxVolume(max-volume)
Source:[gs]etDistance(reference, max)
Source:[gs]etRolloffFactor(rolloff)
Valid Distance models:
"none", "inverse", "inverse clamped", "linear", "linear clamped", "exponent",
"exponent clamped"
Suggestion:
Merge Source:setMinVolume, Source:setMinVolume and Source:setVolume. May be
confusing for lovers though.
May have broken platform/msvc2010/love.vcxproj.filters (had to be modified by
hand without really knowing what I am doing).
The audio module was not really stable in 0.6.0, it takes very little messing around to cause OpenAL to do horrible things. It should now be much more stable,
and you *should* be able to play/stop/pause/resume/rewind/loop like a madman without disasters. Seek and tell, however, are still not tested and verified for
all decoders, but that's less important. Also, all objects now have object:type() and object:typeOf(), which returns the type name of the object,
and checks whether an object is of a certain type, respectively.
