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.

Instead of a global type enum and bitfield, all types now have their own
love::Type static member. This means they automatically assign their ids, build
their bitsets, etc. As a bonus, it simplifies wrapper code since most functions
already know which type they're pushing to or getting from lua, so they can
directly get the static member (if it's called 'type').

If mipmaps are enabled on image creation, the image will use the default mipmap filter (now 'nearest' by default.) Image:setMipmapFilter will error if the image was not created with mipmaps enabled.

The list includes RGBA with 4-bit components, RGBA with 10-bit R, G, and B components and a 2-bit alpha component, RGB with 9-bit RGB components and a 5-bit exponent component (for HDR rendering), and several more.

love.graphics.newImage(path, “srgb”) creates a new Image whose texels are treated as being in the sRGB color space, so they are linearized when drawing/sampling from the image.
love.graphics.newCanvas(w, h, “srgb”) creates a new Canvas whose texels are treated as being in the sRGB color space, so drawing to the Canvas does a linear->sRGB conversion (but blends linearly), and sampling from it (drawing it or using it in a shader) converts from sRGB to linear space.
The "srgb" window flag does the same as Canvases for the main screen.
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.
