| 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1885: glass effects take variables, as the reference tool's do: its light angle, intensity, refraction, depth, dispersion, frost and splay bind to number variables on a layer (`variable.bind`, `effects/<i>/<lightAngle\|lightIntensity\|refraction\|depth\|dispersion\|radius\|splay>`, `radius` being the frost) and in an effect style (`style.bind`), and the Design panel's glass fields take a variable like the shadow and blur fields. A variable reads as the field shows it: intensity, refraction, dispersion and splay in percent. Tests: `binding_lists_tests::glass_fields_take_number_variables`, `effects_tests::glass_fields_take_bound_numbers_as_the_panel_shows_them`. Grade unchanged. |
|

| 2026-11-01 | patch | M3: Delete on a layer inside an instance hides it (an override) instead of being refused ("You can't delete a layer or object from an instance. If you try, Figma will only toggle the layer's visibility instead of removing it", Guide to auto layout); `edit.delete` reports those ids under `hidden`, the structure and the main component stay as they were, one undo step; deleting the instance itself still removes it. Found by a documentation audit of the auto layout page. Test: `components_behaviour_tests::deleting_a_layer_inside_an_instance_hides_it_instead` (the refusal row for it is gone from `what_instances_cannot_override_is_refused`). Numbers unchanged |
|
||||
| 2026-10-31 | minor | M3, gap 10: library analytics cover styles and variables. A file reports how many of its layers use each of a library's styles and variables, and Show usage (`library.usage`) lists them beside the components, by a Type choice, with their layers and files. Layers inside instances count for their component. Insertions, detachments and modes aren't counted for them yet. Numbers unchanged. Tests: `library_assets_tests`. |
|
||||
| 2026-10-31 | minor | M6: as the help center describes code syntax, Dev Mode's SwiftUI and Compose code now writes a bound variable's iOS or Android code syntax in place of its value, as CSS already wrote the Web one: fills, strokes and their weight, sizes, corner radius, gaps, padding, opacity, the font family and size and the characters. A variable with no code syntax for the platform keeps the value, since a name made up here wouldn't exist in the code it lands in. ArkUI and Flutter have no code syntax platform and are unchanged. Test: `variables_behaviour_tests::swiftui_and_compose_name_variables_by_their_code_syntax`. Numbers unchanged. Grade unchanged |
