Changelog:

* Added an iOS port.
* Added an Android port.
* Added the flag t.accelerometerjoystick to love.conf. Disables accelerometer-as-joystick functionality on mobile devices when false.
* Added the flag t.gammacorrect to love.conf (replaces t.window.srgb.) Enabling it globally enables gamma-correct rendering, when supported.
* Added video playback support for Ogg Theora videos, via love.graphics.newVideo and Video objects.
* Added love.video module. It is not used for displaying videos on-screen, only decoding them.
* Added love.touch module. Note that it has important differences from the touch implementation in the LÖVE 0.9 Android and iOS ports.
* Added love.touchpressed, love.touchreleased, and love.touchmoved.
* Added love.system.vibrate.
* Added love.filesystem.setRequirePath and love.filesystem.getRequirePath.
* Added an optional program exit argument to love.event.quit.
* Added love.filedropped and love.directorydropped event callback functions.
* Added love.lowmemory event callback function, called when the app is running out of memory on mobile operating systems.
* Added love.textedited event callback function, called when the user is compositing text (e.g. via an IME.)
* Added love.wheelmoved event callback function (replaces "wu" and "wd" constants for love.mousepressed.)
* Added love.mouse.hasCursor.
* Added a boolean argument to love.mousepressed and love.mousereleased indicating whether the button event originated from a touch press.
* Added optional x/y/width/height arguments to love.keyboard.setTextInput. They tell the system where text will show up so on-screen keyboards can avoid that area.
* Added Source:getType (replaces Source:isStatic.)
* Added Source:getDuration and Decoder:getDuration.
* Added an optional string argument containing raw pixel byte data to the width/height variant of love.image.newImageData.

* Added love.graphics.getSystemLimits (replaces love.graphics.getSystemLimit.)
* Added love.graphics.stencil and love.graphics.set/getStencilTest (replaces love.graphics.setStencil.)
* Added love.graphics.isActive.
* Added color arguments to love.graphics.clear. It no longer always uses the background color value.
* Added love.graphics.discard.
* Added love.graphics.isGammaCorrect.
* Added the "clampzero" WrapMode.
* Added the ability to specify custom mipmaps when creating an image, via love.graphics.newImage(filename, {mipmaps={mip1, mip2, ...}})

* Improved the performance of Shader:send when matrices are used.
* Improved the performance of ImageData and SoundData methods when LuaJIT's JIT compiler is enabled, by using efficient FFI code.
* Improved the performance of love.math.noise, love.math.gammaToLinear, love.math.linearToGamma, love.math.random, and RandomGenerator:random when LuaJIT's JIT compiler is enabled.

* Updated the compatibility warning notice to use a message box and to show the version specified in love.conf.
* Updated the compatibility warning notice to display before main.lua is loaded.
* Updated the __tostring metamethod of love objects to output the pointer value, similar to tostring(table).
* Updated World:setCallbacks, World:setContactFilter, World:queryBoundingBox, and World:rayCast to have improved argument type checking.
* Updated threads to load love.filesystem automatically.
* Updated love.filesystem to enable symlinks by default.
* Updated love.math.setRandomSeed and RandomGenerator:setSeed to produce better results for the first few random() calls.
* Updated love.math.random and RandomGenerator:random to produce slightly better results in general.
* Updated Source methods that deal with spatial audio to error rather than failing silently if the Source isn't mono.
* Updated the 3D and 4D variants of love.math.noise to use Perlin noise rather than Simplex noise, to avoid patent issues.
* Updated ImageFonts to no longer treat separator pixels as spacing.
* Updated the default font to use less memory.
* Updated the behavior of text wrapping with love.graphics.printf and Font:getWrap to work better.
* Updated love.graphics.print and love.graphics.printf to no longer automatically round the x and y position arguments.

* Updated the 'normal' Canvas format to internally use 'srgb' rather than 'rgba8' when gamma-correct rendering is enabled.
* Updated love.graphics.setColor to affect all drawn objects, including ParticleSystems, SpriteBatches, and Meshes.
* Updated the default fullscreen type to be "desktop" rather than "exclusive".
* Updated the minimum runtime system requirements of LOVE to require OpenGL 2.1 or OpenGL ES 2 support.
* Updated the pixel shader effect function so screen_coords.y is 0 at the top of the screen instead of the bottom.
* Updated Images to require setting the mipmaps flag to true on creation in order to use mipmaps.
* Updated Images to allow mipmaps for non-power-of-two sizes.
