LÖVE Potion 3.0.1

What's Changed

• Fix Various Post-Release Bugs by @TurtleP in #215
• Fix Joystick:getGamepadAxis on Nintendo 3DS (#223)
• Fix app suspend not resuming (via swkbd or suspend) on Nintendo 3DS (#220)

Additions

• Nestlink is no longer required for debugging:
  • Set t.console = true in conf.lua and connect via telnet on Windows or netcat on macOS/Linux
    • Connect via {DEVICE_IP} 8000
  • Other options can be done, simply by connecting via a TCP socket client
  • There is no timeout to connect, so leaving t.console = true without connecting will wait for a connection
    • A timeout can be added if desired, please open an issue for this.

Known Issues

Wii U

• The binary must be placed in a specific path in order for it to start properly. This is intended behavior until wut can pass the current working directory properly to the application.
• love.system.getPreferredLocales() will always return an empty string. At the moment, I could not find a way to obtain the console's current language and region settings from wut.
• love.system.getModel() will always return an empty string. Currently there is no way to determine the model of the system, i.e. Basic or Deluxe.

---

There is now support for the Wii U, which the wuhb/rpx must be placed in a specific path: sdmc:/wiiu/apps/LOVEPotion/ or it will not work properly. This is currently due to a limitation in wut since it does not give the launched directory to the application. This should hopefully be fixed in the future, since this also prevents unique game loading as a bundled application.

Please report any bugs to the GitHub issue tracker.
