The dev team, after months of secrecy, are proud to announce the newest release of LÖVE; "Moar Bacon". Here are some quotes that were recorded from #love-supersecretclub;

<Bartbes> I've been working day and night on this release, and it was totally worth dropping out of school to meet this deadline. I just love everyone that much!
<Slime> I am disappointed with everyone so far. I have been popping caffeine pills for the last two months, 24 hours a day, seven days a week to meet this deadline. In my free time, I've been preparing for love 0.9.0 as well.
<VRLD> I have decided to approach the 1.0 release like Grand Theft Auto. If I can kill everyone and get away with it, I know I will have won.
<Bmelts> ...
<Rude> My hands are bleeding! I can't take it any more! This is the end!

I'm especially glad love.graphics has been renamed to love.stuff. Not so much for the improved clarity, but moreso for the 3 characters it shaves off the name. Much less typing.

Finally, love is upgrading to 3D to play with the big boys! Rpelacing lua with php is a huge improvement, too. Goodbye metatables, echo 'hello world!';
