- Add love.graphics.setDepthMode(testcomparison, enablewrites).
- Add love.graphics.setMeshCullMode.
- Add love.graphics.setFrontFaceWinding.
Depth testing and depth writes require a depth buffer to work. The mesh cull mode controls whether front/back faces of a mesh are culled. The front face winding determines whether a clockwise or counterclockwise-oriented face in a mesh is considered front facing.

- Added an optional mipmap index argument to the non-table variant of love.graphics.setCanvas, and an optional ‘mipmap’ field to the table variant.
- Canvas:setMipmapFilter now works.
- Added Canvas:generateMipmaps.
- Added Canvas:getMipmapMode.
- Added a new ‘mipmaps’ enum field to the table passed into love.graphics.newCanvas. Accepted values are “none” (default), “manual”, and “auto”.
If a Canvas has the manual mipmap mode, you will either need to render to a mipmap level or call Canvas:generateMipmaps. If it has the auto mode, mipmaps will be automatically generated after rendering to that Canvas. Generating mipmaps is not free.

- Add Texture:setDepthSampleMode(comparemode). Only works on textures with depth pixel formats. A texture with the depth sample mode set will only work with a depth sampler.
- Add DepthImage, DepthArrayImage, and DepthCubeImage sampler keywords to glsl3.

Also fixed Canvas MSAA (resolves issue #1271).
stencil-formatted Canvases can’t be drawn, and can only be used as the value for a new ‘depthstencil’ field to the table-argument variant of love.graphics.setCanvas.

Added love.graphics.drawLayer(texture, layerindex, …). ‘texture’ must be an array texture.
Added SpriteBatch:add/setLayer.
Added Quad:get/setLayer. This applies to array textures that are drawn without specifying an explicit layer index in the draw call.
Added love.graphics.newQuad variants which have layer arguments.

effect() takes no arguments and returns nothing, you are responsible for assigning a value to either love_PixelColor or love_Canvases[n] in the function. You can declare ‘MainTex’, which will be whatever texture is used with any Drawable drawn with love.graphics.draw. You can also declare ‘VaryingColor’ and ‘VaryingTexCoord’, which are passed down from the vertex shader by love automatically. love_PixelCoord is also available.

- 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).

Add “instancing” Graphics Feature constant.
Add love.graphics.drawInstanced(mesh, instancecount, x, y, …) which draws the mesh multiple times in a single draw call. Each instance of the mesh will appear in the exact same spot unless one of the following are used:
- Add an optional vertex attribute step type argument to Mesh:attachAttribute. “pervertex” is the default. “perinstance” causes the attribute to be per-instance instead of per-vertex, when the mesh is drawn.
- Add love_InstanceID as a built-in read only int variable in GLSL 3 vertex shaders. It is always 0 except when a Mesh is drawn with more than 1 instance specified in the draw call. It can be used to manually compute or index into per-instance values in a shader.

With the highdpi window flag enabled on a retina-capable display and OS, content should now appear to the user at the same size and in the same positions as with the flag disabled.
As a result, mouse and touch coordinates, Texture and graphics dimensions, and the graphics coordinate system now use pixel density-scaled units instead of pixels. Raw pixel units should generally only be used for things such as shader algorithms which execute per-pixel and rely on accurate pixel dimensions. love.window.fromPixels and friends typically don’t need to be used anymore.
Images, Canvases, and Fonts can have an optional explicit ‘pixel density’ set when creating them. This allows for easily loading high pixel density content which displays at the same size as regular or low pixel density content.
API changes:
- Added Texture:getPixelWidth/getPixelHeight/getPixelDimensions and Texture:getPixelDensity. Texture:getWidth/getHeight return the pixel density-scaled width and height (as it will appear on the screen when drawn) rather than the number of pixels on each texture dimension.
- Added love.graphics.getPixelWidth/getPixelHeight/getPixelDimensions.
- Added optional ‘pixeldensity’ field to the settings table parameter of love.graphics.newImage. It defaults to 1, or if the file the Image was loaded from has “@2x”, “@3x”, etc. at the end of its name, it uses that number as the pixel density scale by default.
- love.graphics.newCanvas now takes a table as its third parameter, with fields “format”, “msaa”, and “pixeldensity”. pixeldensity defaults to the main screen’s pixel density. The width and height parameters specify the visual size that the Canvas will be drawn at / can be drawn to (pixel density-scaled units).
- love.graphics.newVideo accepts a table as its second parameter, with optional fields “audio” and “pixeldensity”. pixeldensity defaults to 1.
- love.graphics.newFont variants have an optional pixeldensity parameter at the end of the argument list. For TrueType fonts this defaults to the current pixel density scale of the screen, and for BMFonts and ImageFonts this defaults to 1.
- Added Font:getPixelDensity.
- Renamed love.window.getPixelScale to love.window.getPixelDensity.
