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.
Changed love.math.randomseed(seed) to love.math.setRandomState(state) and love.math.setRandomState(low, high). Added low, high = love.math.getRandomState().
love.math.setRandomState(state) can set the random state to an integer of up to 53 bits, love.math.setRandomState(low, high) can set the random state to a 64 bit integer by using the first argument as the lower 32 bits and the second argument as the higher 32 bits.
This allows for reliable setting and saving of the state of a RNG.

A Geometry is a collection of vertices describing a non self-intersecting
(simple) polygon. In addition to screen coordinates, the vertices have
attributes for texture coordinates (s,t) and color (r,g,b,a).
It can be used as a quad, to display distorted images, or anything in between.
Added:
^^^^^^
-- geometry from table, where table has the format:
-- info = {
-- {x,y, s,t, [r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255]}
-- {x,y, s,t, [r = 255, g = 255, b = 255, a = 255]}
-- ...
-- }
geom = love.graphics.newGeometry(info)
-- convenience wrapper for quads (same as before)
geom = love.graphics.newQuad(x,y, w,h, sw,sh)
-- retrieve vertex i (1-indexed)
x,y,s,t,r,g,b,a = geom:getVertex(i)
-- set vertex i (1-indexed)
geom:setVertex(i, x,y, s,t, [r,g,b,a])
-- flip geometry
geom:flip(x, y)
Renamed:
^^^^^^^^
love.graphics.drawq() -> love.graphics.drawg()
Removed:
^^^^^^^^
quad:setViewport()
quad:getViewport()
love::math::Math is now a singleton, so other modules can use it via
love::math::Math::instance.
Removed duplicate implementations of various rng helper functions.
ParticleSystem now uses love::math::Math's RNG.
New function: love.math.triangulate(vertices)
Accepts a table or list of x/y coordinate pairs and returns a table of tables.
The inner tables are the triangles the polygon is composed of.
Works on all *simple* polygons, i.e. a closed chain of vertices that does not
intersect itself. Attempting to triangulate non-simple polygons is undefined
behavior - in the best case it throws an error, in the worst case it returns
an invalid triangulation.
Polygons must be ordered in *clockwise order* with respect to the love
coordinate system. Attempting to triangulate a ccw polygon will throw an
error.
Examples:
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,0, 1,1, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2)
triangles == {
{1,1, 2,0, 2,2},
{1,1, 2,2, 0,2},
{1,1, 0,2, 0,0},
}
triangles = love.math.triangulate({0,0, 1,1, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2})
-- same as above
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,2, 2,2, 2,0, 1,1, 0,0)
-- error - polygons is in counterclockwise order
triangles = love.math.triangulate(0,0, 1,3, 2,0, 2,2, 0,2)
-- undefined behavior - polygon intersects itself (because of edge 1,3)
Contains just a RNG for now, but may include other functionality (e.g.
transforms) later on.
New Functions:
-- as in the lua math library:
love.math.randomseed(number) -- set random seed
love.math.random() -- get random number in [0:1) (uniformly distributed)
love.math.random(high) -- get integer random number in [1:high]
love.math.random(low, high) -- get integer random number in [low:high]
-- additional functions
love.math.randnormal() -- get normally distributed number with zero mean
-- and unit variance
love.math.randnormal(o) -- get normally distributed number with zero mean
-- and standard deviation `o`
love.math.randnormal(m, o) -- get normally distributed number with mean `m`
-- and standard deviation `o`
