SVG export wrote an SVG filter as a live <filter> when its SVG 1.1 form
was at most 64 KB, without counting the region and id it writes into
it. A filter close to the limit came back over it, SVG import dropped
it, and the reopened object had no filter.
Export now leaves room for the id and the measured region, checks the
SVG 1.1 form the way import does, and counts each character past U+00FF
as the character reference Latin-1 output writes. A filter that does not
fit is exported as the other pixel effects are. The SVG 1.1 form and its
check are kept for the filters seen last, as checked filters already
are, so export does not check one filter again for each object.
Align to Path moved the whole line by the largest ascent and descent
among its characters. Each character now moves by its own font, size
and vertical scale. Ascender runs the top of the font's em box along
the path: the ideographic em box that the font's BASE table gives, or
in a Chinese, Japanese or Korean font the one that its typographic or
hhea box, a one-em box-drawing cross or its ideographs give; else an
em box centered on the cap height. Descender runs the bottom of the font's
bounding box along the path, and Center runs a line at half the height
of the top of the font's H along it. In vertical type, Ascender and
Descender move the characters half an em, and Center leaves them on
the path.
Existing documents with Align to Path set to Ascender, Descender or
Center lay their type out at a new distance from the path.
Generic CMYK's tone curves now pass through the CGATS TR 001 tone value
increase of each ink at 40% and 50% (C 20.0, M 17.6, Y 16.8, K 21.6 at
50%), and its 16 Neugebauer primaries mix linearly, so a single ink's
tints gain as TR 001 gives. The 300% ink limit stays. The primaries, the
black-generation curve and the black point are VectorCraft's own values.
- The black point is 90% black under neutral CMY that fills the ink
limit: sRGB black separates to C75 M68 Y67 K90 instead of C67 M67 Y67
K100.
- Black follows a curve over the gray component of the black-free
solve, raised by how far that solve stays lighter than the target.
Grays from sRGB 177 up carry no black, and sRGB 128 gray separates to
C50.5 M42.2 Y42.0 K7.5 instead of C38.8 M26.3 Y29.9 K24.4.
- Display of CMYK fills, swatches and imported CMYK values and the
separation of RGB and Lab colors use the same model.
Paper white still separates to C0 M0 Y0 K0, but other separations
change, and so does the display of CMYK colors with ink. Tests that held
numbers of the old model are updated.
swatch.new stored a gradient or pattern as it was given. A gradient
swatch made from a gradient swatch by name, from a fill linked to one,
or from a gradient that names one (the Gradient panel's add to
swatches) kept the link to that swatch, so copying art that uses the
new swatch brought the other swatch along too. A pattern swatch made
from a current fill picked up from art with transformed tiles kept
that transform, and art the swatch was applied to took it in place of
its own.
The new swatch now drops the gradient's link and stores the pattern
untransformed. A gradient swatch keeps its aspect as before.
SVG viewers center each <textPath> glyph on its midpoint on the path and
turn it to follow the path, which is how the Rainbow effect draws. Type on
a path with any other effect and no spacing was written as a plain
<textPath>, so a viewer drew it as Rainbow. It is now written as outlines
with a warning, as type with an end bracket, Align to Path or Spacing
already is.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A top object's corner test treats a straight segment as having its
handles a third of the way along it, so an anchor between two straight
segments is a corner only when it turns out of the outline. docs/mcp.md
and the doc comment now say so, and a new test covers an inward anchor
between straight segments. The bulging-curve corner test checks against
a fixed point instead of the same nearest-point routine the code uses.
Saved corners from an .ai file stay on the same anchors when the
envelope is reflected, as they already did when it was moved or
rotated. A reflected outline runs counter-clockwise; the corners were
then mapped as if the outline had been drawn the other way round, no
longer fit it, and were found again from the outline.
On a tie between two corner anchors, or two nearest outline points,
the one met first along the outline in the order it was drawn wins,
for outlines drawn counter-clockwise too.
The docs state the corner rule in full: a handle 0.01 pt long or
shorter makes an anchor a corner whichever way it turns; otherwise its
tangent unit vectors must differ by 0.01 or more in x or y and turn
out of the outline. Content spreads evenly along a segment without
handles.
An anchor with a handle shorter than 0.01 pt counts as a corner of a top
object whichever way it turns; only an anchor whose tangents differ must
turn out of the outline. docs/mcp.md and the progress line in
docs/target-app-parity.md now say so.
A top-object envelope splits its outline into four sides at four corners
and maps the content onto the Coons patch of those sides. The sides
shared out the content by length, and the corners were the anchors or
curve points nearest the bounding box corners.
Each piece of a side between anchors and corners now takes a share of the
content's width or height in proportion to the length of its control
polygon, spread along the piece by its curve parameter. A straight
segment spreads it evenly by length. A rounded rectangle stays close to
the identity, and the content follows the curves of a side whose segments
differ in size.
Each corner is now the nearest anchor to its bounding box corner among
the sharp anchors that point out of the outline and lie within 47.5% of
the box's width and height from that corner. A handle shorter than
0.01 pt, or tangent unit vectors that differ by 0.01 or more in x or y,
makes an anchor sharp, and the first one along the outline wins a tie.
Without such an anchor, the corner is the outline's nearest point to the
box corner, moved onto the end anchor of its segment within 0.5% of the
segment's parameter. Envelopes opened from .ai files keep the corners the
file saves.
These are VectorCraft's own rules. Existing top-object envelopes redraw by
them. Gradient meshes made from a path keep their sides measured by length.
- crates/doc/src/live/mesh.rs: Coons::from_top_object and the corner
search, used for top-object envelopes.
- EnvelopeKind::TopObject gains an optional `corners` field (anchor
indices); the .ai importer fills it from the mesh's corners.
- Params text of object.envelope.makeWithTopObject, docs/mcp.md
(Envelopes) and a progress line in docs/target-app-parity.md.
File › Open and File › Place read HEIC and HEIF still images (.heic,
.heif) through heic-rs 0.1.4, the pure-Rust decoder photocraft-heif
uses, and store the pixels as PNG. Single pictures and grids of tiles,
8 to 10 bits, with or without an alpha image, are read with the
container's rotation, mirror and crop applied. A grid without a color
box of its own takes its tiles'. When neither the image nor its tiles
have an nclx box, the HEVC stream's video signal type gives the
samples' matrix and range. An RGB ICC profile, or Display P3 with the
sRGB curve named by an nclx box or, without a color box, by the
stream, is converted to sRGB. The EXIF resolution tags size the image;
without them it is 72 ppi. When the container's rotations turn the
image an odd number of quarter turns, the resolution's axes swap with
the pixels'.
Image sequences, images that aren't HEVC-coded, grids of cropped tiles
and images past the pixel allowance are refused with a message before
the pixels are decoded. The allowance counts each coded picture at the
size its sequence parameter sets give it.
The decoder is in the engine's `heif` feature, which is on by default
and listed by the desktop, CLI and web apps. A build without it still
recognizes the files and refuses them with a message.
window.toolsBesideCanvas reads on with opt_bool, which treats null like an omitted value. docs/mcp.md and the params text now say that an omitted or null on toggles the setting and that any other non-boolean value is an error.
Docked Tools stays at the window's left edge again, outside any panels
docked on the left. Window › Toolbars › Keep Tools Beside the Canvas
(`window.toolsBesideCanvas {on?}`) docks it between those panels and the
canvas instead.
- The setting is its own field in the UI state and in workspaces, and a
missing field reads as off, so saved state and workspaces keep Tools at
the window's edge. Built-in workspaces have it off.
- Off, app.rs draws docked Tools before the docking layout, the canvas
reserves no width for it, and only the full-height window-edge strip
docks a floating Tools panel. On, the canvas panel draws it, the canvas
keeps room for it, and both the window edge and the canvas edge dock it
beside the canvas.
- Turning the setting off forgets the canvas-edge strip, so a strip laid
out while it was on does not dock Tools. A floating Tools panel stays
floating when the setting changes.
- `window.panel.dock {panel: "tools"}` docks Tools where the setting says.
- The menu label has a row in every catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md, the ROADMAP progress log and
docs/target-app-parity.md. The headline-numbers row and the paragraphs
under the status lines are gone, and scores are unchanged.
With Snap to Grid on, a move of objects on one perspective plane at
different depths applied the snap correction only to the objects at the
first object's depth, and every other object moved by the pointer's
offset read at its own depth. Those objects left the grid and lost their
spacing.
Every object on the first object's plane now moves by that object's
plane offset plus the correction, so the edge of the joint bounds nearer
a gridline lands on it and the objects keep their spacing. A selection
at one depth snaps as before, and objects on other planes keep their own
offset.
Typed list detection gave every bulleted trigger the filled dot. Now
`*` and a space start a list with the filled dot (•), `+` with the
hollow circle (◦), `#` with the filled square (▪) and `>` with the dash
(–), each one of the existing Bullets presets. `1.`, `1)`, `A.` and `A)`
start the same numbered lists as before.
Only the list a typed trigger starts changes. Lists already in a
document keep their bullets, pasted triggers start no list, and Undo
and Redo of a typed list work as before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (typed list paragraph), docs/target-app-parity.md.
Preferences > Type gets Start Lists From Typed Markers (`typedLists`, on
by default). With it off, a list marker and a space typed with the Type
tool at the start of a paragraph (`1. `, `1) `, `A. `, `A) `, `* `,
`# `, `> `, `+ `) stay as text and start no list. `text.startList`,
`text.setFormat {list}` and the Bullets and Numbered List buttons work
as before.
The preference reaches the Type tool through `ToolContext::typed_lists`.
The label has a row in every catalog.
A recorded save in the template format writes a copy and leaves the
document's file as it was, so it no longer clears the warning or the
refusals. A recorded Save or Save As with its own path gives a never-saved,
converted or restored document its file before Save and Close, so the
batch runs and warns that every data set saves over that one file.
With a destination folder and Override Save on, a recorded Save or Save As
step writes each data set to its own file in that folder and makes that
file the document's own, so Save and Close then saves each data set to its
own file. The batch no longer warns that every data set saves over one
file in that case, and no longer refuses a document that was never saved,
converted or restored, since the recorded step gives it a file first.
A recorded PDF, EPS, DXF, Save for Web or Save for Office Documents step
that gives a `path` writes the same file for every data set, because the
batch does not point these steps into the destination folder. The one-file
rule now counts them, so the dialog and `action.batch` warn.
Save and Close over the data sets of a document converted from an older
version or restored by Data Recovery is refused with "save the document
with Save As before Save and Close" before a data set is selected. Saving
such a document does not write its file, so the batch reported success
without saving anything. The message has a row in each of the 26 catalogs.
Batch… with a Data Sets source offers None, Save and Close and Folder again.
Save and Close saves the open document over its own file after each data
set. When every data set saves over the same file, the dialog shows a
warning and `action.batch` returns `warning`: with Save and Close, or with
a recorded step that writes a file and that the batch does not point into
the destination folder. A Save step without a path counts when it writes
the document's own file; Save As, Save a Copy, Save as Template and Export
steps count when they give a path; Export for Screens counts when its
folder, given or from its preset, names a folder. Save and Close over the
data sets of a document that was never saved is refused with "the
document has never been saved" before a data set is selected.
Data sets share one open document, so Save and Close saved every data set
over the same file and only the last one survived. action.batch now
returns an error for source datasets with destination saveAndClose before
it selects a data set or runs a step, and the Batch dialog offers None and
Folder for a Data Sets source, moving a Save and Close choice to Folder.
A plug-in whose manifest gives "api": 2 and lists the new `progress`
permission may import three host functions from module `env`:
vc_progress(done, total), vc_cancelled() -> i32 and
vc_log(level, ptr, len) -> i32. Installing checks every import and
refuses, by name, one the host doesn't offer, one with another type and
one the manifest doesn't allow.
- Progress is clamped and passed on once per tenth of a percent (past
2,000 reports, once per 1,000 changes). A heavy filter's progress
window and the export's progress window show it as a percentage bar,
and their Cancel makes vc_cancelled return 1. A live effect's progress
is not shown.
- A run cancelled before it returns ends as cancelled, and one that
returns after its time budget ran out ends at that budget, so what a
plug-in returns after it sees vc_cancelled changes nothing. This also
applies to a plug-in of API level 1 that finishes after a Cancel or
past its time budget.
- Log text must lie in the module's memory and be UTF-8. Lines go to the
app's log as "<id>: <text>" with hidden characters escaped, at most
1,024 characters a line, 200 lines and 32 KiB a run, and the host reads
at most 1 MiB of log text a run.
- plugin.list and plugin.info give the manifest's `api`; the install
prompt names the new permission in plain words.

The legacy reader skipped `bindrepeat Tg` (section 15.3.4 of the version 7
file format specification). It now reads the binding punctuation bit:
1 and 3 set the paragraph's Burasagari to Force, and 0 and 2 set it to
none, which is VectorCraft's own mapping. The value is modal, lasts into
the next text object, and an operand other than 0 to 3 leaves it as it
was. The repeat character, `TG`, `Xu` and `Tu` are still skipped.
docs/mcp.md and the `ParaStyle::burasagari` doc comment name the legacy
`.ai` case as the exception to imported text keeping `none`.
The Links panel's Relink... button and menu item open a Relink dialog
(ui.relinkDialog) with a Replace menu. Selected Instances relinks the
selected images and placed documents, as Relink did before. All
Instances also relinks every other object in the layers linked to the
same file. Missing Links from This Folder relinks the selection to the
chosen file, then every other missing link to the file of its name in
that file's folder, and the status bar names the files not there. Each
Link Separately asks for a file for each selected link in turn, one OK
each, and relinks them all at the last one: the dialog has one row per
linked file, and each selected embedded image gets a row of its own.
Every choice is one undo step.
links.relink takes scope: selected (default), all, missingInFolder
(with path) or each (with paths: [{ids, path}] in place of ids, path
and folder). A scope or paths that doesn't fit is an error and relinks
nothing. With copy, every file is read and checked before any is
copied, copies made before a failed copy are removed, and
missingInFolder looks for missing images only.
Docs: params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md. Catalog rows for the new labels and messages
in every catalog.
A manifest may list `permissions` (doc.read, doc.write, state,
effect.render, export.write) and an `api` level. doc.read, doc.write
and state follow the capability model proposed in
storytold/photocraft#662; the other names are VectorCraft's own. An
unknown, reserved, duplicate or wrong-kind name is refused by name. A
manifest without the key gets the permissions its kind implies and
installs as before.
- Install Plug-in... and File > Open show the name, id, version, file
SHA-256 and each permission in plain words, with control and
bidirectional characters escaped and each string cut to 64
characters. OK installs the module only if it still has the SHA-256
shown; Cancel installs nothing. The heavy-budget prompt and the
status line show the escaped name too, and OK keeps the `replace` it
was given.
- `plugin.install` needs `grant` listing every permission, and
`plugin.inspect` reports `needsApproval`. `hash` pins the module:
one with another SHA-256 is refused. The grant is kept with the
module's hash in the store's `grants.json`, and only that store's
grants count while it is attached; the same set does not ask again,
more permissions do, and `plugin.remove` forgets it.
- The Additional Plug-ins Folder and `plugin.reload` install only
plug-ins the attached store has granted and report the others as
needing approval. At startup the store skips an ungranted plug-in.
- A filter run without doc.read is given no objects; without state it
neither reads nor writes `documentData`; without doc.write an output
that changes the document is refused and the document is unchanged.
