This will simplify the code and make it more maintainable when OpenGL ES 2+ support is added, compared to using the deprecated VA functions on desktop GL and the generic VA functions on GLES.

drawcalls: The number of internal draw calls made so far in the current frame.
canvasswitches: The number of times the active Canvas has been changed so far in the current frame.
texturememory: The approximate amount of video memory (in bytes) used by OpenGL textures created by Images, Canvases, and Fonts.
images: The number of active Image objects.
canvases: The number of active Canvas objects.
fonts: The number of active Font objects.
Draw to the stencil buffer (rather than the color buffer) using love.graphics.drawStencil with a function which draws geometry. Once the stencil buffer has been drawn to, use love.graphics.setStencilTest before drawing to let drawn geometry be affected by it.
love.graphics.clear (and Canvas:clear) will clear both the color and stencil buffers by default. love.graphics.clear("stencil") will clear only the stencil buffer.

Removed the 'hdrcanvas', 'dxt', and 'bc5' graphics feature enums now that they're deprecated in 0.9.x in favour of getCanvasFormats and getCompressedImageFormats.

branch : minor
The two new functions return tables containing the names of all relevant formats as keys, and boolean values indicating whether the formats are supported.
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.

Wireframe mode should only be used for debugging: the wireframe lines behave differently than regular lines, their widths aren't affected by the graphics scale, and the mode isn't available on OpenGL ES.
Added:
love.graphics.setLineJoin(linejoin)
linejoin = love.graphics.getLineJoin()
where linjoin is one of:
- none
- miter
- bevel
Bevel and miter drawing is slightly faster than the 0.8 default (miter), while
the `none` join mode will be slower when overdraw is enabled.
A Geometry is a collection of vertices describing a non self-intersecting
(simple) polygon. In addition to screen coordinates, the vertices have
attributes for texture coordinates (s,t) and color (r,g,b,a).
It can be used as a quad, to display distorted images, or anything in between.
Added:

-- geometry from table, where table has the format:
-- info = {
-- {x,y, s,t, [r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255]}
-- {x,y, s,t, [r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255]}
-- ...
-- }
geom = love.graphics.newGeometry(info)
-- convenience wrapper for quads (same as before)
geom = love.graphics.newQuad(x,y, w,h, sw,sh)
-- retrieve vertex i (1-indexed)
x,y,s,t,r,g,b,a = geom:getVertex(i)
-- set vertex i (1-indexed)
geom:setVertex(i, x,y, s,t, [r,g,b,a])
-- flip geometry
geom:flip(x, y)
Renamed:
^^^^^^^^
love.graphics.drawq() -> love.graphics.drawg()
Removed:
^^^^^^^^
quad:setViewport()
quad:getViewport()
- The "replace" color mode can easily be duplicated with love.graphics.setColor(255, 255, 255)
- The current color mode has no effect when a shader is active
- Color mode functionality can easily be replicated with shaders
- OpenGL ES 2 (iOS, Android, etc) does not have the functions used by love.graphics.setColorMode
setColorMask enables or disables specific color components when rendering and clearing the screen.
For example, setColorMask(true, false, true, true) will prevent the green component of the color of all rendered objects from being written to the current frame buffer.
setColorMask is a wrapper for http://www.opengl.org/sdk/docs/man2/xhtml/glColorMask.xml
