| 2026-11-12 | minor | `.ai` and EPS import: type from the text document keeps its manual kerning (#6899). Key 8 of a story's text holds it as runs of characters (key 1), each with a value (key 0 of key 0, in thousandths of an em) or empty where the automatic kerning applies; a character with a value takes it as its Kerning, the space between it and the next character ([Line and character spacing](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/line-character-spacing.html)), of the em as its Horizontal Scale draws it, as tracking. It wasn't read, so type kerned by hand came in spaced by the font alone and drifted from the page from each kerned pair on, and envelopes of such type drew apart from their drawn art and kept it. In users' files, used locally and never committed, 48 stories in 17 of 224 files have it, and the drawn art of envelopes of such type sets each kerned gap wider or narrower by exactly that value (a heading's first pair at -140, the letters of a line at 20 to 220). Measured against each file's own page, 14 of those files draw closer (in 4 the pixels that differ go from 2.7–4.7% to under 0.6%) and 2 a little further, both where an envelope of type now opens live in place of its drawn art; envelopes of type that open live go from 154 to 159 of 203, none fewer in any file, and two notes that the type differs from the page go. A value that can't be read keeps the automatic kerning, a run whose length can't be read ends the runs there, and past 65,536 runs the characters keep the automatic kerning. `.ai` save still leaves kerning out of the editing data, so saving such a file as `.ai` again now gives the note that attributes of type are left out for type with manual kerning.

Effects on the type object itself are left out, as VectorCraft applies them after the envelope bends the type. The box is measured only when that try comes and the import has a check left for it, and once for an envelope. Groups round type and other objects in the contents are measured as before. In users' files (used locally, never committed) the drawn art of some stroked type in an envelope maps from that box: where the type has sharp corners at its edges (slanted stems, pointed feet) and miter joins, or a stroke moved by a Transform effect (a drop shadow), its glyphs grown by half the weight gave too small a box and the envelope kept its drawn art; and where a glyph holds a contour of zero length at its edge, the glyphs' box counted it. On 224 of our own files: envelopes of type that open live go from 154 in 45 files to 161 in 50, and no file loses one; no file changes whether it opens from its layers or its PDF part; renders at 40 ppi change in 6 files, by at most 0.94% of their pixels, each where an envelope of type now opens live in place of its drawn art (the page's own art): 1 closer to the file's own page and 5 further; the notes change in the same 6 files: the note on type in an envelope goes where none keeps its drawn art, and a file whose envelopes of type all kept their drawn art, which opened without the page comparison, now opens with it and carries its notes (the share of art or type that differs from the page, type the page has without a text object, the PDF part's note on DeviceN colours). A synthetic file of 256 such envelopes of 2,000 characters each opens in the same time as before (13.3 s in a debug build): the box is measured only when its try comes.

In the text document a character's fill or stroke is a colour (key 0) and the name of an art style (key 5).

It now takes the pattern, its matrix in art space as a path's pattern fill has it (the files' PDF parts tile such type with that matrix), placed in the type's text space so that it stays where the document has it. A pattern the file doesn't define or can't place, and a style of any other paint, keep the colour as before.

### Color Mask
`addon.image.colorMask` hides colors of the selected images, or of the images in `ids`, and leaves their pixels as
they are. It takes `background`, `colors`, `contiguous`, `match`, `tolerance` and `softness` with the same values,
defaults and refusals as `addon.image.removeBackground`, and matches colors the same way. The image keeps its own
pixels. The mask is kept with the image object and saved with the document: its settings, and a PNG of the image's
pixels with the hidden colors made clear (16-bit and gray images keep their depth and channels, with the source's color
profile and resolution). PDF's color key masking hides chosen colors of an image in a similar way
([ISO 32000-1 §8.9.6.4](https://opensource.adobe.com/dc-acrobat-sdk-docs/pdfstandards/PDF32000_2008.pdf)).
- The canvas, printing and separations, PDF (PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 flatten the hidden pixels as transparency), SVG,
EPS, the raster formats, DXF, EMF, WMF, the legacy .ai, the .ai editing data, copy and paste, and placing a document
show the masked pixels. A linked image stays linked. An output that refers to linked files instead of embedding them
(SVG with `images: "link"`) writes the masked pixels in place of the link.
- A grayscale image's masked pixels have an alpha channel when the mask hides pixels. A colorize color on such an image
follows the rule for grayscale images with transparency (a spot color, black or white), and Color Mask refuses a mask
that hides pixels of a grayscale image colorized with a process color. A mask that hides no pixels shows the image's
own pixels, so a grayscale image with such a mask takes a process color. Each image is checked on the pixels its new
mask shows, whatever other images in the document hold. Remove Background checks the image's own pixels, which it
clears.
- A click anywhere in the image's frame selects it, hidden pixels included, as it does for an image with clear pixels.
The Eyedropper, Object Mosaic, Create Gradient Mesh, Crop Image's trim and Image Trace read the image's own pixels,
hidden colors included.
- Running the command again on a masked image replaces its mask. All the images change in one undo step. An image whose
mask does not change is left as it is, and when none changes the command adds no undo step and returns `changed: 0`.
`hidden` counts the pixels made fully clear in the images that changed.
- When the image's own pixels are replaced later (Update Link, Relink, Crop Image, a recolor, or a linked file read
again when the document opens), the mask is made again for the new pixels. When the new pixels can't be masked (CMYK
pixels, missing pixels, every pixel would be hidden, or the image is grayscale and colorized with a process color
and the mask would hide some of its pixels), the mask keeps its settings and hides nothing.
- The command refuses, and changes nothing, when an object in `ids` is not an image, an image is CMYK, a linked image
shows its preview (embed or relink it first), an image would need more than the decode allowance, or the mask would
hide every pixel of an image.
- With none of `background`, `colors`, `contiguous`, `match`, `tolerance` and `softness` given, nothing changes, and
the command returns the mask settings of the first image (the defaults when it has no mask) with `masked`. Color
Mask… opens the command's dialog on those settings, with a Preview that works as Remove Background's does.
→ `{changed, ids, hidden}`, or without settings `{background, colors, contiguous, match, tolerance, softness, masked}`
`addon.image.removeColorMask` takes the mask off the selected images, or the images in `ids`, in one undo step, and
the images show their own pixels again. `addon.image.applyColorMask` makes each mask part of its image: the masked
pixels become the image's own, embedded as a PNG with an alpha channel (a linked image is embedded), and the mask is
taken off, in one undo step. A mask that hides nothing is only taken off, and the image keeps its pixels and its link.
Images without a mask are left as they are, and an object in `ids` that is not an image is refused. Apply Color Mask
also refuses, and changes nothing, when a mask made again for new pixels would give a grayscale image colorized with a
process color an alpha channel. Both commands are
enabled only when a selected image has a mask. → `{changed, ids}`

| Library panels' lists fill a taller panel (#2992) | done | Swatch (Color Books among them), brush, symbol and graphic style library panels: docked, floating or in a resized flyout, the list takes the height above the panel's footer; outside a sized panel it stays 220 pt (280 pt for large thumbnails); `the_list_fills_a_tall_panel_above_its_footer` in `panels/library_panel/tests.rs` |
| Swatches list fills a taller panel (#1638) | done | Docked, floating or in a resized flyout, the swatch list takes the height above the panel's footer, as the Artboards list does; outside a sized panel it stays 150 pt (200 pt for large thumbnails); `the_list_fills_a_tall_panel_above_its_footer` in `panels/swatches/tests.rs` |
| Layers panel lists a blend's spine (#4820) | done | an open blend shows a `<Path>` row below its key objects, where Release leaves the spine; a click selects the blend (Shift/Cmd toggles it) so Direct Selection edits the spine; a locked blend's row selects nothing; no row while searching or filtering (`a_blends_spine_is_a_row_below_its_keys_that_selects_the_blend`) |
| Layers panel: a layer whose Layer Options › Print is off shows its name italic (#5739) | done | the panel row and its drag ghost; a printing layer stays upright, and Print on again restores it; `panels::layers` test `a_layer_that_does_not_print_has_its_name_italic` |
| Blend spine Anchor Point conversion and handle editing (#2544) | implemented | symmetric handles, independent drag/retraction, visible-handle policy and selection/stacking covered by tool and engine regressions; Windows native canvas checks and screenshots reviewed in PR #2643 |
