The spine-lua API has been updated to be compatible with Spine version 3.4.02 (latest stable). The spine-lua API now supports path constraints, transform constraints, uses the new way we encode meshes etc. There are no API breaking changes, only API additions, such as PathConstraints and TransformConstraints as well as additional methods to Skeleton and similar classes. The internals of the spine-lua API have also been updated to follow Lua best performance practices by localizing heavily and using meta tables for "class methods". The spine-lua API now also loads texture atlases as exported by Spine. All that is required for a consumer is to supply an image loading function for their specific engine/framework. We provide implementations for spine-love and spine-corona.
The spine-love API can now render all Spine attachment types, including meshes and linked meshes. The API has changed. Where previously a "class" Skeleton existed with a draw function, the new spine-love API introduces a new SkeletonRenderer. See the example on API usage.
The spine-corona API can now also render all Spine attachment types. The API has not changed.
* Added transform constraint rotate, scale, and shear offsets and mixes.
* Added TransformConstraintTimeline.
* Added bone shearing.
* Added ShearTimeline.
* Changed Skeleton#updateCache.
* Changed JSON and binary formats. Some binary format fields and enums were rearranged for consistency -- sorry, but it's better for the long term. Docs for both are up to date.

Version 1 of the license didn't make sense: it required a Spine license to use the Spine Runtimes at all. This means if you used the Spine Runtimes in your application, anyone who purchased a copy of your application also needed a Spine license to use the runtimes. This was not the intent!
Version 2 of the license fixes this by allowing anyone to use the Spine Runtimes but only for internal use. When you purchase Spine, the Spine license (http://esotericsoftware.com/spine/files/license.txt) grants you the right to make and distribute derivative works of the Spine Runtimes. Now it makes sense: making and distributing applications with the Spine Runtimes requires a Spine license, but anyone can run that software without needing a Spine license.
With this fixed, I hope we never need to change the license again!
Changed from New BSD to a custom license. The new license requires a Spine license to use the code. If you have a valid Spine license, you can do whatever you like with the code. This should not be a problem for anyone using the runtimes with Spine, nothing changes. If using the runtimes without a Spine license, you now need a Spine license. This is because the runtimes were created explicitly to be used with Spine.
