Added new love.graphics.newMesh variants: newMesh(vertexformat, vertices [, drawmode, meshusage]) and newMesh(vertexformat, numvertices [, drawmode, meshusage]).
Replaced the regular love.graphics.newMesh variants with newMesh(vertices [, drawmode, meshusage]) and newMesh(numvertices [, drawmode, meshusage]). To use an image or canvas with a mesh, use Mesh:setTexture.
vertexformat is a table with the following prototype:
{
{attributename, datatype, components},
{attributename, datatype, components},
...
}
Where attributename is the name of the vertex attribute (can be the built-in names 'VertexPosition', 'VertexTexCoord', or 'VertexColor', or a custom name for use in a vertex shader), datatype is the type of values used for the attribute ('float' or 'byte'), and components is the number of components in the vertex attribute (between 1 and 4.)
The vertex format is used to determine the layout of the vertices in the mesh, for example the 'regular' newMesh variants use this vertex format:
format = {
{"VertexPosition", "float", 2},
{"VertexTexCoord", "float", 2},
{"VertexColor", "byte", 4},
}
The mesh usage parameter accepts the same constants as the spritebatch usage hint in love.graphics.newSpriteBatch - "dynamic", "static", and "stream".
Mesh:setVertex now sets *all* vertex attributes for a specific vertex in the Mesh.
Added Mesh:setVertexAttribute(vertexindex, attributeindex, attributevalue1, ...), which sets the values for a specific vertex attribute in a specific vertex in the Mesh (resolves issue #784.)
Added Mesh:getVertexFormat and Mesh:flush.
Added Mesh:setAttributeEnabled(attributename, enable) and Mesh:isAttributeEnabled(attributename), to enable or disable the use of a specific attribute when drawing the Mesh.
Added Mesh:attachAttribute(attributename, mesh), which makes the Mesh use a vertex attribute from another mesh when drawing the Mesh. This can be used to separate out vertex attributes which are updated at different rates into different meshes, and to share vertex data between multiple meshes.
Removed Mesh:setVertices, Mesh:getVertices, and Mesh:setVertexColors.
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.
Previously, if "leftx" was mapped before "x", the latter mapping would overwrite
the former, or in general if any mapping was a suffix of another, it needed to
be mapped first.
