The two new functions return tables containing the names of all relevant formats as keys, and boolean values indicating whether the formats are supported.
If mipmaps are enabled on image creation, the image will use the default mipmap filter (now 'nearest' by default.) Image:setMipmapFilter will error if the image was not created with mipmaps enabled.

As a result, love can be compiled immediately after editing an embedded Lua script.
Visual Studio 2013 or newer is required for C++11 raw string literals in Windows.
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.

branch : Canvas-formats
Removed love.graphics.isSupported("canvas", "shader", "npot", "subtractive", and "mipmap"), since those features are all guaranteed by the minimum system requirements.

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.
love.graphics.newImage(path, “srgb”) creates a new Image whose texels are treated as being in the sRGB color space, so they are linearized when drawing/sampling from the image.
love.graphics.newCanvas(w, h, “srgb”) creates a new Canvas whose texels are treated as being in the sRGB color space, so drawing to the Canvas does a linear->sRGB conversion (but blends linearly), and sampling from it (drawing it or using it in a shader) converts from sRGB to linear space.
The "srgb" window flag does the same as Canvases for the main screen.
If no vertex map is set, this restricts the drawn vertices to those whose indices in the vertex array are between [min, max] inclusive.
If a vertex map is set, this restricts the values used in the vertex map to those whose indices in the vertex map array are between [min, max] inclusive.
Added Mesh constructor variant: love.graphics.newMesh(vertexcount, texture, drawmode). Creates a Mesh with a certain number of vertices with x,y,u,v,r,g,b,a values of (0,0,0,0,255,255,255,255).
love.graphics.draw(mesh) will draw the mesh instancecount times, using hardware instancing when available. The only way to draw individual instances differently from each other is to use the love_InstanceID variable in a vertex shader.
Added love.graphics.isSupported(“instancing”). Hardware instancing is supported if true, otherwise a (slower) pseudo-instancing fallback is used internally when drawing instanced meshes.
Canvases and Images are now subclasses of the new Texture class.
Added setTexture and getTexture methods for Meshes, ParticleSystems, and SpriteBatches (the old set/getImage methods are deprecated but not removed.)
Canvas texture coordinates are no longer flipped.
luax_pushtype keeps the object in a weak table and checks the table before creating a new userdata, so it re-uses the object's existing wrapper userdata if it can, whenever the object is pushed to Lua.
This fixes some subtle issues with love objects, where using them as keys in tables would not always work as expected (https://love2d.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=39398&p=112388#p112415). It also decreases the amount of new Lua objects created, saving the garbage collector some work.
