- Pass:mesh accepts tables for vertices/indices
- Add Pass:setVertexFormat to set format used for table-based meshes
- Pass:send accepts tables for buffers
- Pass:send supports arbitrarily nested structs/arrays for push constants
- Buffer formats support arbitrarily nested structs/arrays
- Zero-length buffers are valid and represent structs
- Fields can have names using 'name'
- Field types can be tables of other fields (structs)
- Fields can have 'length' key
- newBuffer syntax has been changed to put format first (old version
still works)
- Buffers can be created from shader variables, avoiding need to declare
matching format.
- Pass:clear/Pass:read use byte offsets instead of indices
- Pass:copy uses byte offsets when copying a Buffer to a Buffer
- Deprecate lovr.graphics.getBuffer (tables can be used instead)
- They no longer live in temporary memory, but in a dedicated pool.
- There are error checks for using a temporary buffer after it's invalid
- However, these are imperfect, and could be improved. One idea is to
avoid recycling a temporary buffer until its refcount decays (i.e.
Lua finally decides to garbage collect it). This would explode
memory usage sometimes, so it could only be enabled when
t.graphics.debug is true.
This includes the memory allocator and the morgue.
You can't actually write any data to the buffer yet, since we don't have
commands or temp buffers. Temp buffers (scratchpads) are coming soon.
