The basic APIs are:
video = love.graphics.newVideo("myvideo.ogv")
love.graphics.draw(video, ...) -- Video objects are Drawables.
video:play(), video:pause()
video:getDuration(), video:tell(), video:rewind(), video:seek(seconds)
video:getSource()
video:getWidth(), video:getHeight(), video:setFilter(min, mag)
More advanced APIs include video:setSource(source), video:getStream(), and videostream:setSync.
To use a custom pixel shader when drawing a Video, call the new TexelVideo(texcoords) function instead of Texel(texture, texcoords) in order to get the pixel colors of a video frame.
Renamed the love.image CompressedData type to CompressedImageData.
love.math.compress returns a love.math CompressedData object which holds the newly compressed data. Currently supported formats are "lz4" and "zlib". Note that the formats are not file formats and don't compress filesystem hierarchies.
Note: this implementation is slightly different from the implementation in the love 0.9.x Android and iOS ports!
Added love.touchpressed(id, x, y), love.touchmoved(id, x, y, dx, dy), and love.touchreleased(id, x, y, dx, dy).
id is a unique identifier for the touch press that persists until love.touchreleased. After that it is no longer unique.
x and y are the coordinates of the touch event in pixels within the window.
dx and dy are the amount in pixels that the touch has moved since the last event.
Added love.touch.getTouchCount and love.touch.getTouch(index).
love.touch.getTouch takes an index (not the same as an id. indices are not stable and don't correspond to a unique touch press.)
It returns the id of the touch and its current x and y coordinates in pixels.

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.

The module must be required before use, i.e. utf8 = require("utf8"). API documentation can be found here: http://www.lua.org/manual/5.3/manual.html#6.5
Removing the last unicode character in a string (for proper backspace support in text boxes, for example) can be done using utf8.offset, e.g. text = text:sub(1, utf8.offset(text, -1) - 1).
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.
