-> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-11-02 · **Change:** minor (glass bends towards its core, and rounded rectangles work it out in closed form; glass's light is a line on its bevel and splay turns the bend towards the centre; glass bends with a thick-lens profile and splits its colours over 8 steps; glass effects take variables and keep their frost within 0–100; web host bridge: `?host=parent` or `data-host="page"` hands a page the app's files, documented in the hosting guide; a connector end moved with Cmd/Ctrl held goes on any part of an object, and stays there as the object moves or resizes; a tap on a plugin panel's button keeps what was typed in its fields; a Dash cap setting (none, round or square) on Dash and Custom strokes, drawn on both ends of every dash; library analytics list how many layers and files use each style and variable; the Controller menu names each button as PlayStation and Switch controllers do; widgets draw lines and SVG pictures (plugin API 6); a connector end dropped along a side of a shape attaches to that side (#1708); regression tests pin a rounded shape's one-sided stroke and SVG ids and font families without XML-forbidden characters (#1351, #1124); a damaged image is refused with a reason instead of showing as an empty box (#1474); an image copied in another app pastes again on the desktop, and in the browser for the first time (#492); SwiftUI and Compose code names a bound variable by its iOS or Android code syntax; the colour picker's Image tab shows a placeholder and Upload from computer, an asset preview, and a file dropped on it replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop and position (#1682); the Frame tool's Phone presets have the iPhone 17 family (#1691); Show in folder works in the Flatpak build and selects the file on Linux (#1701); a dashed line starts and ends with a half-length dash, on the canvas and in exports; the Pages, Layers and Assets search fields keep their text in the middle of the field (#1703); a board connector's path can be reshaped by dragging its path handles (#1710); boards have 16 more shapes (arrows, polygons, star, plus and flowchart symbols), in pickers that lay them out in a grid; library analytics count insertions and show insertions and detachments over the past 30 days, 90 days or year; a stroke's Custom style takes a dash pattern of any length as a comma-separated list (#1681); a control request can set its own timeout, up to 10 minutes (`timeoutMs`; `figcraft-cli mcp --attach PORT --timeout SECONDS`) (#1696); gap 6: a widget opens its plugin's panel (plugin API 5), whose callbacks redraw it; the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does; an Open link action can open in place of the prototype, with "Open in new tab" off (gap 15); a collection of this file can be extended (Extend collection on its row, `variable.extendCollection`), its extension following its edits at once, and extended collections extend again in the file; the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift makes a colour style or variable of what it picks; a live session's welcome sends the document compressed to clients that read it, about seven times smaller (#1665); a control request that times out says truthfully whether it was dropped or is still running and will take effect, and only screenshots and input blame the window (#1673); a board keeps earlier votes' results, listed newest first in Results and deleted one at a time; the object a stamp will stick to is outlined while the stamp tool is over it or a stamp is dragged over it, and board objects take no drops (gap 24); a server can list the files shared from it now for everyone who reaches it, Home ▸ Online shows them and their links carry no secret (`team_files`, part of #742); team library analytics count detached instances per component and file (gap 10); skipping the Open link notice by command is saved with the preferences at once (gap 15); a selected connector's bar on a board sets its start and end points, solid or dashed, its weight and any colour (#1596); cells copied from a spreadsheet paste onto a board as a table; a long layer name stays on one line in the Export button and the Dev Mode header, ending with an ellipsis, and no longer covers the Design panel (#1650); with hundreds of layers selected, the Design panel and the selection overlays stop going over the whole selection on every frame, so dragging 648 layers averages about 1.1 ms of UI per frame (#1571); plugin panels show pictures: an `image` control, base64 within 256 KB and 4,096 px a side, named by its label (gap 6); `.fig` connector labels without a saved snapshot are kept, centred on their line (gap 1); a drag moving many layers re-runs only what sits around them, not each layer's bindings, sizing, text and instance checks, on every move (#1571); damaged font tracking table offsets are checked instead of wrapping on 32-bit targets, and font indexing makes its existing offset bounds explicit (#1125); Bosnian (`bs`) draft catalog; text style dedupe is O(spans) via a last-two cache and fingerprint buckets (#1102); pasted layers whose image the clipboard lacks are named and show a placeholder that reads as missing (#1646); paint-style colours on layers pasted from another design app keep their style instead of turning black (#1638); progress docs cleaned of what merges left twice: rows merged into one, repeated status items removed, and `cargo xtask docs` (in `ci`) fails on a repeated table row or status item; a name typed for a variable or collection finds the one with that exact id before one named like it, and stored mode ids, font family variables and the panels' labels read exact ids (#1613); plugin widgets have hover styles: a layer's `hover` fill, stroke, opacity or text colour shows while the pointer is over it (gap 6); `.fig` elbowed and curved connectors without a saved path are routed like board connectors instead of drawn straight (gap 1); every file a command reads whole by path is a regular file within a cap that fits it: documents 16 GiB, placed images 256 MiB, CLI scripts 1 GiB; `figcraft-cli connect publish` publishes a code repository's code connect mappings to a design file (gap 16); while a drag only moves a large selection, its outlines, box, slots, spacing and Design panel values are worked out once and shifted, not rebuilt on every move (#1571); Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+Enter on a selected board shape adds the next shape already joined to it, and goes on typing (#1597); an imported or pasted file finds an installed family under the other names its fonts give it, and with other case and spacing, instead of reporting it missing (#1292); a development example generates figcraft-cli's shell completions and man pages from its clap definitions (part of #1396); `.fig` ZIP image reads share a total byte budget and count skipped images in the import warnings (#1076); German terminology corrections (M10): gradient stops, OpenType stylistic sets and the Home-screen preference; a component set's property rows fit the 240 px right panel: variant values wrap two to a line there and every + and − stays in view; the server key is checked by comparing SHA-256 hashes of the presented and the kept key, as the deployment guide says (#1130); opening a file contacts no team library server it names until you check it (#1097); a hostile server can no longer grow a client's memory with made-up people, and a session remembers a bounded number of deleted layer ids (#1121); `doc.list` gives AI agents and plugins the open files' names, not their paths (#1117); with a large selection, frames where nothing changed reuse the selection's outlines, box and slots and the Design panel's instance and position values instead of working them out again (#1571); team libraries and plugins larger than the 16 MiB download burst can be downloaded again, more slowly (#1089); a batch keeps one undo snapshot, not one per step (#1099); files nested 256 levels deep import on the browser's 1 MB stack (#1101); SVG and PDF exports count pattern sources and the renders they embed from the layer's depth, so one cap bounds a whole export (#1082); an explicit variables file path (`variable.import`, the `variables` of `file.open` and `file.import`) is refused past 256 MiB or when it isn't a regular file, as the sibling `variables.json` already was (part of #1114); joining and leaving a file nobody is editing reads and writes nothing on the server: it stays loaded a minute after everyone leaves (#1074); opening a `.figcraft` file unpacks at most 6 GiB in all (2 GiB in the browser), every area together (#1079); hovering the canvas hit-tests once per pointer move, not on every frame, and moving an auto layout frame no longer lays out its contents again on every move (#1571); `.fig` instance expansion no longer walks variable nodes for every instance or copies every outer override row into each nested instance (#1077); `comment.people` lists names that were only @mentioned, and `comment.next` and `comment.prompt` carry the mentions too (#1415); grid auto-placement looks for free cells a 64-bit word at a time and skips what blocks it, with the same placements (#1083); with the pen out, Enter or a double-click ends the path and edits the vector with the Move tool instead of drawing on (#1430); a recovery copy made while a version is previewed holds the file, not the version shown; a FigJam `.jam` file opens as a board (#1342); the Actions palette offers only commands that run from it, and no second row reading like a menu item: Place image opens the file dialog (#1574); share links can comment: a third access level beside edit and view, whose holder sees the file live and adds, replies to, reacts to and resolves comments but can't change the design; Preferences ▸ Scroll wheel zoom: a mouse wheel zooms the canvas about the pointer and Cmd/Ctrl+wheel scrolls (#1390); `comment.list {mentions}` lists only the threads that @mention a name (#1415); in the browser an internal error that stops the page keeps its unsaved files, which open again on reload (#1123); boolean operations refuse input past their caps, and a boolean group past them draws without its result (#1104); figcraft-cli parses its arguments with clap, following RFC-0012 (#1396); the selection and hover outlines of rounded rectangles and frames follow their corners (#1506); component properties keep the order they were made in when one is renamed, and Make slot asks for the slot's name first (#1536, #1537); the browser build publishes files to a server, so Share ▸ Online and Publish to server work there (#917); the browser build uses the fonts installed on the computer once asked, each read when text uses it (#1051); SVG import reads `color()` and `color-mix()` colours, with a note and a grey for those it can't (#1550); the portable Windows zip keeps its settings, recovery copies and plugins in `config\` beside the executable, starting with an installed copy's preferences; the window starts on other graphics when its first ones fail before the first frame: Direct3D 12 compiles with FXC and no device compiles wgpu's indirect-validation shaders, then Vulkan, OpenGL and lower requirements on the power-saving GPU (#965, #1438); Thai, Lao, Khmer and Burmese lines break between words (#1219); an AI agent attached over MCP shows where it works (#1416); a manual overlay's position can be dragged on the canvas (#405); one name for live sessions and comments: Preferences ▸ Your name, in the Join dialog too, kept in the browser, and a rename shows at once in the sessions you are in (#1380); requests that change a server's files have a budget per address, the server key's too, and join codes are found by their hash (#1075); the Join dialog shows a join from the click until its file is ready, with Cancel, and a failed join with Try again (#1381); SVG import draws each pattern tile once per scale, within the layer budget (#1080); Vietnamese letters typed with combining marks (decomposed) take one font that has every mark, instead of missing-glyph boxes beside the letter (#1478); comment.list reports each message's @mentions (#1415); mask groups draw only over the area they can paint, and nested isolated layers share one memory budget (#1061); components can't contain their own instances, directly or through other components; `edit.duplicate` returns an id map with `map: true` (#995); the batches kept for reconnecting apps are bounded in bytes by default, and `figcraft-server` takes `max_log_mb` (#1069); MCP and control calls name their document (#998); sibling placement in live sessions searches instead of counting (#1065); an AI agent attached over MCP comments under its own name, with an Agent label (#1414); the instance-swap menus have a search field (#1338); a refused batch's fixes take time linear in the batch (#1063); the connector tool shows the connector it will make while dragging, ends snapping to attach points (#1387); large images on the canvas draw from a smaller copy, so two 16k images no longer lag (#1483); a file's JPEG thumbnail can't crash the home screen (#1491's progressive JPEG check, now shared); `.fig` import: library text styles linked by asset key, and override rows restating a nested level (#1234); `.fig` import keeps the file's saved line breaks while the text and its box are unedited (#1236); Download a missing free font from the Missing fonts window (`font.download`, #754); the web build's wasm back under its 24 MiB gate (#1472);

 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-11-06 | patch | M1, #2028: Edit ▸ Set default properties gives new rectangles, ellipses, polygons and stars drawn with the tools (and, set from a text layer, new text) the selected layer's properties; it only copied them for Paste properties. Tests: `default_props_tests` (3). Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | M8, #1885: a glass whose shape is too big to keep whole at the zoom (past `MAX_SHAPE_PX` with its core's margin) bends along its edge normals instead of working out a core, so its fields never cover more pixels than a kept shape's, and the core's feature transform holds 16 bytes a pixel. The edge normals are box-blurred twice again and the bend directions once, as documented. Test: `glass::tests::a_shape_too_big_to_keep_bends_along_its_normals`. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1885: glass bends the backdrop towards its core, the shape shrunk by `depth` and the bevel, as the reference tool's: round a sharp corner the bend turns smoothly instead of meeting along the diagonal, and a part thinner than twice that (a capsule, a letter's stroke) bends across itself towards its own middle (pixels about as deep as any within 2 px). Rectangles, frames, components, instances and sections whose corners aren't smoothed work their glass out in closed form, with nothing to rasterise, transform or keep: a zoom frame draws in 40 ms instead of 54 and a resize frame in 46 instead of 67 (`glass_render_timings`, release, 2×). Other shapes keep their fields, with the bend directions for the last two depths asked for beside them, so dragging the Depth slider works out only those again. Tests: `glass::tests::a_sharp_corner_bends_round_towards_the_core`, `glass::tests::a_thin_part_bends_across_itself`, `glass::tests::neighbouring_strokes_bend_towards_their_own_middles`, `glass::tests::a_rounded_rectangle_in_closed_form_matches_its_distance_transform`, `glass_cut_tests::what_the_shape_depends_on_works_it_out_again_and_nothing_else_does`. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1885: glass's light is a line on its 1-unit bevel added to the backdrop, as the reference tool's: fully where the edge faces the light, none below 0.35 of facing it and 0.6 as much on the opposite side, with a faint gradient across the curve, 5% darker facing the light and lighter opposite (it was a glow mixed towards white, as deep as `splay` made it). `splay` turns the bend from along the edge's normal towards the way away from the layer's centre, as the reference tool's does, and no longer widens the light: files with a splay above 0 look different. The direction to the centre is worked out in the shape's own frame, so cut renders match. Tests: `glass::tests::the_light_lies_on_the_bevel_and_the_gradient_across_the_curve`, `backdrop_tests::splay_turns_the_bend_towards_the_centre`, `glass_cut_tests::the_light_is_a_line_on_the_bevel`.

 | Numeric fields: arithmetic, scrubbing by dragging the label, mixed values | done | Numeric panels use `widgets::number_field`; Corner smoothing has an original code-drawn icon, a 24 pt drag target and an accessible name, with live changes, fractional values preserved across consecutive drags, Shift/Alt rates, 0–100% clamping and one-step undo/redo (`corner_individual_tests`); Typography line height, letter spacing and paragraph spacing share its leading-icon scrub logic (#373), retaining their existing unit parsing, Auto/Mixed values, variable chips and selected-character targeting (`typography_scrub_tests`). Scrubbing the label: a step a point (1 px; 1% of opacity, 1° of rotation), ten with Shift, a tenth with Alt, each stretch at the rate held while it was dragged, one undo step when let go; past the edge of the screen it goes on where the platform reports the mouse's own motion (desktop), otherwise it stops there. Arrow keys: Up/Down step a pixel field by the small nudge and Shift by the big nudge (the preferences), other fields by their own step and ten of it; they work while typing (from what is typed) and with the keyboard on the field. Typing: `+ - * /`, brackets, units (`px`, `°`, `%`, `x`, `ms`), a decimal comma; `+10`, `*2`, `/4` are relative to the value, and `50%`, `+10%`, `-10%` too in a field that isn't a percentage. Enter, Tab or a click elsewhere commits (Tab and Shift+Tab move to the next and previous control), Escape restores; a field left as it was commits nothing (no undo step, and a rounded display isn't written back). Mixed values show "Mixed": a number sets them all, a relative edit or an arrow key goes to each layer from its own value in one undo step, for X, Y, W, H, rotation, opacity, corner radius and stroke weight (elsewhere `+10` on Mixed sets 10 and `*2` does nothing) (`field_tests`). Left: scrubbing a Mixed field (nothing happens), `x2`-style suffix edits, the pointer isn't wrapped to the other side of the screen; rates not compared with Figma's |
 | Transform box at small sizes | done | a press inside a layer smaller than its handles moves it, the nearest handle wins, handles answer just outside and are hidden under 16 px on screen; cursors follow each handle and the box's rotation |
 | Locked layers | done | selectable from the layers panel; no handles, not dragged with the rest of a selection |
+| Edit ▸ Set default properties: new layers take the selected layer's properties | done | from a shape (any layer but text): new rectangles, ellipses, polygons and stars drawn or clicked with their tools take its fills, strokes and their settings, effects, opacity, blend and corners; from a text layer: new text from the Text tool takes its fills and font (#2028). Silent in the help center on frames, lines and arrows: they keep their own look, as do layers made by commands; the defaults last for the session |
 | Smart selection spacing | partial | with layers in a row, a column or an aligned grid selected, the Layout section shows horizontal and vertical spacing ("Mixed" until set; typed, scrubbed, fractional and negative) and pink handles in the gaps on the canvas drag them, one undo step, Escape cancels (`arrange.spacing`; sizes, parents and offsets within each track kept; at most 2,000 layers; flow children, locked layers and layers inside instances left out). A ring at each layer's centre drags it to another place in a regular row, column or complete top-left-aligned grid: the others close up and make room around it with the gaps kept, and with Cmd/Ctrl held the two layers swap places instead, previewed live while dragging (`selection_reorder_tests`; no ring on a layer under 16 px on screen). Not covered: reordering irregular grids, and several marked layers moved together. Checked by its author on macOS and in the app on Windows (#402) |
 | Selection colors | partial | for a mixed selection the Design panel lists their solid and gradient paints (children and text ranges included; hidden paints, masks, images, patterns and boolean operands left out; styles and variables listed apart): editing a colour changes every matching fill and stroke in one undo step, a row selects the layers that use it or applies a color style or color variable of the document, and a row linked to a style or variable detaches it, keeping the color (`selection.colors`, `selection.setPaint`, `selection.applyColorStyle`, `selection.bindColorVariable`, `selection.detachColor`, `selection.selectColor`). No library styles or variables from there, and no new style or variable from a row (#403) |
 | Keyboard box selection | done | Alt+Space on macOS, Ctrl+Space on Windows and Linux, or F8 (`select.area`): a box around the selection or in the middle of the view; arrows move it, Cmd/Ctrl+arrows or Shift+arrows size it (Shift with Cmd/Ctrl: farther), Enter selects like a marquee (Shift+Enter toggles, Cmd/Ctrl+Enter nested), Escape closes |

+| 2026-11-06 | patch | M1, #2028: Edit ▸ Set default properties copied the selected layer's properties into the Paste properties clipboard and nothing else, so a new rectangle drawn afterwards was still grey (and what Copy properties had copied was lost). The defaults are now kept apart (`Session::default_props`, one set for shapes and one for text): rectangles, ellipses, polygons and stars drawn or clicked with their tools take the shape defaults (`apply_copied_props`, the same rules as Paste properties: corners only where a layer has them), and new text from the Text tool takes a text layer's fills and font and is laid out at that size. Frames, sections, slices, lines, arrows, vectors and layers made by commands keep their own look. `edit.setDefaultProperties` answers `{for: shapes|text, properties}`. Tests: `default_props_tests` (3) |
 | 2026-11-04 | patch | M1, #1852: a press on one of the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas is the colour picker's own, not a press outside it (Figma keeps the picker and the handles up while a handle or stop is dragged; the stops are made to be dragged: "You can click and drag a stop to change its placement on the gradient", Use gradients as a fill or stroke). The canvas took the press and began the drag, then the picker, drawn later in the same frame, saw a press outside its card and closed, committing the drag's interaction at once; the handles vanished with it and the drag went on without an undo step of its own. Now the picker stays while a gradient handle or stop drags, and the drag is one undo step; a press elsewhere on the canvas still closes it. A handle drag whose button goes up off the canvas (over a panel or the picker) ends there too, instead of waiting, uncommitted, to move the handle to the next press on the canvas. Tests: `colorpicker_selection_tests::dragging_a_gradient_handle_on_the_canvas_keeps_the_picker_open`, `colorpicker_selection_tests::a_gradient_drag_released_off_the_canvas_ends_there`. |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | M8, #1875: a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point between two segments gives it handles along the line between its neighbours, a third of the way to each ("Click on a point or path where you want to add a curve", Edit vector layers); a click on a curved point still makes it sharp, a drag still sets the handles by hand, an endpoint is left alone. Between a handle's end and a point both within reach of the pointer, the nearer one on the page is hit (the handle on a tie), so a short path's point (its handles a few pixels long) can be clicked again. Before, only a drag curved a point, and a short one left two tiny handles in its direction. Tests: `vectoredit::tests::short_handles_leave_their_point_clickable`, `vectoredit::tests::a_bend_click_curves_a_sharp_point_between_its_neighbours`, `bend_tool_smooths_and_sharpens_points`. Numbers unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-02 | minor | M4, #1827: wrap style on a text layer (`WrapStyle`: Auto, Balance, Pretty): Balance re-breaks each paragraph at the narrowest width that keeps its line count (bisection over the greedy breaker, as browsers balance), Pretty narrows one of the last four lines just enough so the last line isn't one word; `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle` (`textWrap` too), inspect `wrapStyle`, Dev Mode CSS `text-wrap` (Tailwind `text-balance` / `text-pretty`), the Type settings control under Vertical trim. Per-paragraph settings, text-style support and the `.fig` import/export mapping stay open. Test: `text_behaviour_tests::balance_and_pretty_wrap_styles_break_lines_as_documented`. |
