Functions which are deprecated will print out a message and show up in a small dialog on-screen, when they're first called. Deprecation output is disabled in fused mode by default, and can be modified with love.setDeprecationOutput(enable).

- Add Texture:setDepthSampleMode(comparemode). Only works on textures with depth pixel formats. A texture with the depth sample mode set will only work with a depth sampler.
- Add DepthImage, DepthArrayImage, and DepthCubeImage sampler keywords to glsl3.

branch : minor
- Add love.graphics.clear(r, g, b, a [, stencilvalue, depthvalue]).
- Add love.graphics.clear(color1, color2, …, [, stencilvalue, depthvalue]).
- Add love.graphics.clear(false, stencilvalue, depthvalue).
stencilvalue and depthvalue are either true, false, or a number. True is the default behaviour and clears that buffer to the default value (0 for stencil, 1 for depth), false prevents clearing.
The third variant listed above only clears the depth and/or stencil buffers and not the color buffer.

branch : minor
- Add love.graphics.newArrayImage, newCubeImage, and newVolumeImage.
- Add love.graphics.newCanvas(w, h, layers) and newCanvas(w, h, layers, settings). Add ‘type’ field to the settings table of newCanvas.
- Add new love.graphics.setCanvas variants: setCanvas(canvas, slice), and setCanvas(canvastable) where canvastable is in the format: {{canvas1, layer=2}, {canvas2, face=5}}
- Add Texture:getTextureType, getDepth, getLayerCount, getMipmapCount, and getFormat.
- Remove Image:getData and Image:refresh.
- Add Image:replacePixels(imagedata [, slice] [, mipmap]).
- Update Canvas:newImageData to accept a slice argument.
- Add love.image.newCubeFaces(imagedata).

To use GLSL 3 in a shader, the first line of the shader has to be: #pragma language glsl3
glsl1 is the default language.
Added “glsl3” graphics feature as part of the table returned by love.graphics.getSupported().
Added love.graphics.validateShader(boolean gles, shadercode). It returns a boolean along with an error string if the shader code has errors for its target language and platform (gles or desktop).
Implemented support for Core Profile OpenGL 3.3 in love.graphics.

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.

- Removed love.graphics.set/getCanvas, Canvas:renderTo, Canvas:newImageData, love.graphics.clear, love.graphics.discard, and love.graphics.newScreenshot.
- Added love.graphics.beginPass and love.graphics.endPass. All rendering must happen within a pass. love.draw is now called while a render pass to the main screen is active.
- Added love.graphics.renderPass, which is a wrapper for begin/endPass which calls the supplied function argument in between a begin/end. This is similar to the old Canvas:renderTo.
- Added love.graphics.isPassActive, getPassCanvases, getPassWidth, getPassHeight, and getPassDimensions.
- Added love.graphics.captureScreenshot.
- Added a new love.run callback love.drawpasses, which is called after love.update and before love.draw. It is the place to render to Canvases using beginPass or renderPass, since love.draw now always draws to the main screen.
- Renamed the ‘canvasswitches’ field in the table returned by love.graphics.getStats to ‘renderpasses’.
love.graphics.beginPass has the following variants (and renderPass mirrors them with an additional function argument at the end):
- love.graphics.beginPass(), begins rendering to the main screen without clearing it.
- love.graphics.beginPass(r, g, b [, a]), begins rendering to the main screen and clears the screen to the specified color.
- love.graphics.beginPass(canvas [, willstencil]), begins rendering to the specified Canvas without clearing it. love.graphics.stencil can only be used within the Canvas if ‘willstencil’ is true.
- love.graphics.beginPass(canvas, r, g, b [, a] [, willstencil]), beings rendering to the specified Canvas and clears it to the specified color. love.graphics.stencil can only be used within the Canvas if ‘willstencil’ is true.
- love.graphics.beginPass(info), where ‘info’ is a table in the following form:
{
{canvas [, r, g, b, a]}, — A canvas and an optional color to clear the Canvas to when the pass begins.
{canvas2, [r, g, b, a]}, — Additional Canvases and optional clear colors for multi-canvas rendering.
…,
stencil = false, — Optional boolean field to specify whether love.graphics.stencil is allowed within this pass. False by default.
}
The pass info table can be created once up-front and used for multiple beginPass/renderPass calls.
love.graphics.endPass can take an optional callback function argument, which causes endPass to capture the contents of the Canvas drawn to in the render pass to a new ImageData and passes it to the supplied function (this replaces Canvas:newImageData). This does not work on the main screen.
love.graphics.captureScreenshot replaces love.graphics.newScreenshot. It takes a callback function argument which causes love.graphics.present to capture the contents of the screen to a new ImageData and passes it to the supplied function. captureScreenshot can only be called before drawing to the main screen begins in the current frame (e.g. in love.keypressed, love.update, etc.)

Currently exposed formats are rgba8 and rgba16 (normalized), and rgba16f and rgba32f (floating-point). Some systems, especially mobile ones, won't support every format when creating a love.graphics Image. Use love.graphics.getRawImageFormats to check for support.
love.image.newImageData now takes an optional format parameter as its third argument when creating an empty sized ImageData. It defaults to rgba8.
16-bit PNGs, .hdr images, and floating-point OpenEXR images can now be loaded via love.image.newImageData and love.graphics.newImage.

addListener takes a function, and names of events that will trigger the function when they're processed inside love.event.poll or love.event.wait. When the given listener function is called, the name of the event as well as all of the event's arguments are passed to the function.
If addListener is called multiple times with the same function and events, it will not add the function more than once.
removeListener takes a function and removes it from all events it was previously added to.
The new versions of the functions are only used if LuaJIT's JIT compiler is enabled.
Those functions are often combined with ImageData:mapPixel or ImageData:setPixel, which also have LuaJIT FFI versions in 0.10.0 - so without JIT-able implementations of the math functions, the FFI code in the ImageData methods would not be JIT-compiled and would end up taking up to 10 times as long to execute compared to the non-FFI versions in 0.9.2.
