- API Addition: Color#WHITE_FLOAT_BITS
- Table layout fixed when expand is used and the layout width is less than the table's min width.
- InputMultiplexer#setProcessors(Array) now copies the items instead of using the specified array instance.
- API Change: A wrapped HorizontalGroup or VerticalGroup will now size children down to their min size if the group is smaller than their pref size.
- LWJGL3: useVSync() is now a per-window setting. Any additional windows should disable vsync to avoid frames dropping to (refresh rate / # of windows).
- Batch and sprite implementations and SpriteCache store Color separately from the float packed color, since converting to/from float is lossy.
- API Change: NumberUtils floatToIntColor expands the alpha from 0-254 to 0-255, so 255 doesn't become 254 from conversion from int to float to int.
- API Change: Batch and Decal setColor(float) renamed to setPackedColor for differentiation, since the conversion from float to Color is lossy.
- API Change: PolygonSprite getVertexColor renamed to getPackedColor to match other classes.

- API Change: Lwjgl3WindowListener.deiconified() removed, combined with .iconified().
- API Change: Lwjgl3Window.deiconify() renamed to .restore() since it can also be used to de-maximize a window.

- Added LWJGL 3 backend, see https://github.com/libgdx/libgdx/issues/3673 for more info.
- Added Graphics#getBackBufferWidth and Graphics#getBackBufferHeight for HDPI handling
- API Change: Added HdpiUtils. Instead of calling GL20#glViewport and GL20#glScissor yourself
please use HdpiUtils instead. It will ensure that you handle HDPI monitors correctly when
using those OpenGL functions. On HDPI monitors, the size reported by Gdx.graphics
getWidth/getHeight is in logical coordinates as dictated by the operating system, usually half
the HDPI resolution. The OpenGL drawing surface works in backbuffer coordinates at the full
HDPI resolution. If you pass logical coordinates to glViewport and glScissor, you only
affect a quarter of the real backbuffer size. Use HdpiUtils instead, it will do the right thing, while letting you continue to work in logical (aka returned by Gdx.graphics.getWidth/getHeight) coordinates.
- API Change: Graphis#getDesktopDisplayMode() has been renamed to Graphics#getDisplayMode() and
returns the current display mode of the monitor the window is shown on (primary monitor on
all backends except LWJGL3, which supports real multi-monitor setups).
- API Change: Graphics#getDisplayModes() return the display modes of the monitor the monitor
the window is shown on (primary monitor on all backends except LWJGL3 which supports real
multi-monitor setups).
- API Change: Graphics#setDisplayMode(DisplayMode) has been renamed to
Graphics#setFullscreenMode(). If the window is in windowed mode, it will be switched
to fullscreen mode on the monitor from which the DisplayMode stems from.
- API Change: Graphics#setDisplayMode(int, int, boolean) has been renamed to
Graphics#setWindowedMode(int, int). This will NOT allow you to switch to fullscreen anymore,
use Graphics#setFullscreenMode() instead. If the window is in fullscreen mode, it will be
switched to windowed mode on the monitor the window was in fullscreen mode on.
- API Addition: Graphics#Monitor, represents a monitor connected to the machine the app is
running on. A monitor is defined by a name and it's position relative to other connected
monitors. All backends except the LWJGL3 backend will report only the primary monitor
- API Addition: Graphics#getPrimaryMonitor() returns the primary monitor you usually want
to work with.
- API Addition: Graphics#getMonitor() returns the monitor your app's window is shown on,
which may not be the primary monitor in >= 2 monitor systems. All backends except the
LWJGL3 backend will report only the primary monitor.
- API Addition: Graphics#getMonitors() returns all monitors connected to the system. All
backends except the LWJGL3 backend will only report the primary monitor.
- API Addition: Graphics#getDisplayMode(Monitor) returns the display mode of the monitor
the app's window is shown on. All backends except the LWJGL3 backend will report the
primary monitor display mode instead of the actual monitor's display mode. Not a problem
as all other backends run on systems with only a single monitor so far (primary monitor).
- Added option to include credentials on cross-origin http requests (used only for GWT backend).
- Added option to specify crossorigin attribute when loading images with AssetDownloader (GWT), see #3216.
- API Change: removed Sound#setPriority, this was only implemented for the Android backend. However, Android itself never honored priority settings.
- API Change: cursor API has been cleaned up. To create a custom cursor, call Graphics#newCursor(), to set the custom cursor call Graphics#setCursor(), to set a system cursor call Graphics#setSystemCursor(). The Cursor#setSystemCursor method has been removed as that was not the
right place. Note that cursors only work on the LWJGL, LWJGL3 and GWT backends. Note that system cursors only fully work on LWJGL3 as the other two backends lack a means to set a specific system cursor. These backends fall back to displaying an arrow cursor when setting any system cursor.
- API Addition: Added Lwjgl3WindowListener, allows you to hook into per-window iconficiation, focus and close events. Also allows you to prevent closing the window when a close event arrives.

- API Change: Added concept of target actor, separate from the actor the action is added to. This allows an action to be added to one actor but affect another. This is useful to create a sequence of actions that affect many different actors. Previously this would require adding actions to each actor and using delays to get them to play in the correct order.
