- Moved love.math.compress / decompress / decode / encode / hash to love.data.
- Changed love.data.compress/decompress to take the format argument first instead of second.
- Added love.data.newDataView. Returns a read-only subsection of an existing Data object.
- Added love.data.newByteData. Mostly useful in combination with LuaJIT's FFI as it has no extra methods currently.
- Added implementations of Lua 5.3's data packing APIs: love.data.packString / packData / unpack / getPackedSize.
Resolves issue #1336.

- 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.

- 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.)

Turns out, this is a gcc bug: detecting sse2 support cannot be done in shared
libraries. For now we'll assume 32-bit x86 builds are intended to also run on
devices without SSE2 (how old!). In the future we might decide we only support
machines that support SSE2, if we secretly don't already.
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.

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.
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).
