An Alt-click on an end of a selected open path makes that end the current
point without converting it, so the next click extends the path from it.
This applies to the other end too while one end is current; a plain click
there still closes the path. Alt-click on any other point still toggles it
between smooth and corner, and a double-click toggles any point, ends
included. An Alt-click that starts a new path places a corner point, as
later Alt-clicks do.
Changed behavior: an Alt-click on an end of a selected open path no longer
converts it; double-click converts it.

Paste placed character and paragraph styles before the patterns, symbols
and brushes they use, and compared each one with the document's before a
pattern it painted with had its final name. A style that painted with a
pattern added as "Dots 2" kept painting with the document's own "Dots",
or was matched to a document style of its name that paints with that
"Dots". A symbol whose art paints with such a pattern, and a brush whose
art sets type in a style renamed on the way in, were matched the same way.
Paste, and the symbol, brush, pattern and Libraries imports that add art
through it, now place each style, symbol, pattern and brush after the
ones it uses, as Load Character Styles and Load Paragraph Styles already
did, and relink the styles they add at the end. Pasted back into its own
document, each definition stays the document's of its name.
File › Open already opened `.vcstyles` graphic style libraries in their
library panel and imported `.vcperspective` perspective grid presets, but
its dialog had no filter for either. It now lists "Graphic Style
Libraries" after "Swatch libraries" and "Perspective grid presets" after
"Print presets". "All readable files" still lists documents only.
Other Library… and Locate Library… in the swatch and graphic style
library panels list their library filter once; the swatch dialog listed
"Swatch libraries" twice.
A command that needs a number, such as `x` of `shape.rectangle`, `intensity`
of `edit.colors.saturate` or `index` of `object.envelope.setMeshPoint`,
answered "missing number `x`" both when the key was left out and when it was
given as a value that is not a number, such as "40". A value that is given but
is not a number is now refused with "`x` must be a number, not "40"", the
message the optional number checks already use, showing the value as given.
A key left out or given as null is still a missing number. Neither error
changes the document or records an undo step.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A PDF of the art's bounds never carries Preserve Editing data, and the
export adds its warning only when Preserve Editing was on. docs/mcp.md
and the document.exportPdf params text now say so.
Find Font and Replace Missing Fonts looked only at the type on the layers
and in symbols, and the font list behind the export warning, Package and
the Missing Fonts dialog skipped opacity masks and pattern swatches.
- text.fonts lists the type in opacity masks (on objects and layers,
disabled masks and masks inside other art included) and in pattern
swatches, a swatch that nothing paints with included. A pattern's type
counts once however many objects it paints. With selectionOnly, the
masks of the selected objects and the symbols and patterns they show.
- select.font also selects the objects whose mask holds the font and the
objects painted with a pattern whose art uses it (visible fills and
strokes wider than 0). A layer's mask and an unused swatch select
nothing.
- text.replaceFont changes that type in one undo step. Type in the mask
of a hidden or locked object, and the type of a pattern that only
hidden or locked selected objects paint with, keeps its font and is
counted in skipped.
- addon.cleanup.replaceFonts replaces missing fonts in masks and
patterns, hidden or locked type included.
- text.missingFonts, File > Package and the export warning read masks
and patterns too.
- document.info's fonts for the whole document (the Fonts and Font
Details categories and the text report) include the same type. With
selectionOnly the list stays the selected type's fonts.
While a mask or pattern is edited, its type is taken from the editing
layer only.
- Under a perspective, the shared 400,000-element limit of a 3D effect's graphics now counts
what each path draws once mapped: a straight side stays one element, and only curves count
as their 8 pieces. Two copies of a 30,000-sided polygon now both draw. The symbol check
counts the same way, and without a perspective it counts each curve once.
- The Materials tab's handles on the artboard are hidden while a geometry effect (such as
Transform) comes after the 3D effect of a selected object, since that effect draws the
graphics away from the handles.
- A press on the canvas while its context menu is open only closes the menu, and no longer
grabs a graphic's handle.
- A symbol instance inside a graphic's art shows its changes to a dynamic symbol, and a symbol
with 9-slice guides is placed through them, as the canvas draws the instance. Paths that
cross a guide are cut at it.
Pin craft-ui to c4b8405d, which adds a top edge and the canvas-side top
corner to icon-strip flyouts and saves the moved top per group. Accept
its new MoveFlyoutTop docking action, and restore the saved top when a
group returns to its place. A docking regression checks the cursors, an
upward top-edge and free-corner drag with the bottom and icon-column edge
fixed, and the top after reopening and in a saved layout.

The Brushes rows name each type as the New Brush dialog does (Art Brush,
Scatter Brush) and say "missing from the Brushes panel" for a brush the
panel does not hold. The panel now shows these values through the
catalogs, so a localized interface no longer shows them in English.
document.info and the saved report keep them in English. Every catalog
gets a row for "missing from the Brushes panel"; the type names already
had rows.
View > Proof Setup > Working CMYK simulates the working CMYK space of
Color Settings in Proof Colors and Separations Preview, also in a
document assigned another CMYK profile. The active context keeps the
working context beside the assigned profiles, and the proof table cache
key includes the working settings, so a change of the working CMYK space
shows in the next proof.
With automation read roots in force, document.json returned each entry of
svg_scripts unchanged, so a JavaScript file linked from outside the read
roots kept its full path in the reply. The reply copy now names such a
file by its file name alone. An entry given as a URL is kept, and the
stored document is not changed.
- object.expand.info reports no gradient or fill to expand for a
gradient that repeats in more runs across its box than are written,
matching object.expand, which leaves it a gradient. For a path that a
painting live effect draws, it measures each piece the effect returns.
- CSS writes a repeating gradient's stop positions, and a repeating
radial gradient's radius, with enough decimals that their rounding
adds up to at most a hundredth of a period across the box (at least
four for positions and three for the radius).
- docs/mcp.md says that sharp steps and swatch-linked stops are the last
to be left out rather than always kept, and that the CSS conic limit
counts stops before midpoints and Perceptual curves add more.
