- Added love.system module, including clipboard functions.
- Added custom hardware cursors (love.mouse.newCursor, love.mouse.setCursor.)
- Revamped love.joystick:
-- added Joystick objects and moved love.joystick functions which operated on individual joysticks to methods on the Joystick objects.
-- Added love.joystick.getJoystick and love.joystick.getJoystickCount.
-- Added events for when joysticks are connected and disconnected.
-- Added 'Gamepad' methods to Joystick objects: Joystick:isGamepad, Joystick:getGamepadAxis, and Joystick:isGamepadDown. They're a common abstraction for xbox controller-like joystick across operating systems.
- Added monitor choosing support and "fullscreen desktop" mode to love.window.
- Moved unicode text input events to their own callback function (love.textinput), removed the key repeat functions from love.keyboard and made the second argument of love.keypressed a boolean saying whether the keypress was a repeat.
- liblove now works with love.window and love.graphics in OS X
- added a new CompressedData type to love.image
- added love.image.isCompressed(file or data)
- love.graphics.newImage automatically tests for compression when loading a file
- added love.graphics.isSupported strings for DXT, BC5, and BC7
Compressed textures meant to be used on the GPU offer huge performance gains when
- loading the texture from a file
- loading the texture from RAM to VRAM
- loading mipmaps
- rendering
