LÖVE 0.7.1 Released

[bmelts]

Two months ago, we gave you an early Christmas present in LÖVE 0.7.0. Now, we wish you a LÖVEly Valentine's Day with:

LÖVE 0.7.1
Get it at the bottom of this post!

0.7.1 does not break the API - anything that worked in 0.7.0 will also work in 0.7.1 (unless you were using Decoders with custom sample rates for some reason). There may, however, be some minor changes in behavior if you're using a function we fixed bugs in (I'm looking at you, Font:setLineHeight). Otherwise, prepare for a few new features and a whole lot of bugfixes. Check out the changelog below, then go out and spread the LÖVE!

Where can I get a functional version of the source for windows? I downloaded the source from bitbucket, but it appears to be missing quite a few dependencies.
I figure that it would be an enjoyable use of my time to try to write an OpenGL library for LOVE.

While speaking about holiday events, what happened to the eventual redesigns of the page which were supposed to be made on some holidays?
