A print to a file and the print preview list their notes as saves and
exports do since #6920: what the job leaves out of the document or prints
differently first (art outside the imageable area, type in a fallback
font, transparency flattened for PostScript), then the notes on the
options (halftone screens and a fixed flatness that aren't written, copies
per sheet that don't fit, a printer profile left out, ink options that
name no ink). Each kind keeps the order it is given in.
The print layout, the PDF print and the PDF print plan return the notes
on the options in `setting_notes` beside `warnings`, as `ExportReport`
does. The status message after a print to a file names the first note,
so a fixed flatness no longer hides type printed in a fallback font.
Space held while dragging out a new anchor already moved it, handles and
all, but the closing drag skipped it, so the closing anchor could not be
repositioned. The closing drag now moves the first anchor by as far as the
pointer moves while Space is held, its handles with it, and the drag
shapes the handles round the new place once Space is released.
path.close takes `at: [x, y]`, which moves the first anchor, its handles
with it, before `in` and `out` are placed. docs/mcp.md and the Pen line
in docs/target-app-parity.md describe it.
A drag with the right or middle button on a Layers row could move or
copy the row, and the same drag on a guide row, the selected-art
square, the eye or lock column or a target circle moved the guide or
the art, swept visibility or locks, or transferred the appearance.
Each of these drags now starts only with the primary button, as the
Artboards panel's row drag does, and the grab cursor follows the
primary button too. A right-click still opens the row's menu.
The new test drags each of the six sources with the secondary and the
middle button, checks that no drag payload is held and that nothing in
the document or its undo steps changes, then drags the same path with
the primary button to show the drop target takes it.
docs/ui-parity.md and docs/target-app-parity.md listed the distance and
angle readouts while drawing as missing. With Smart Guides > Measurement
Labels on, the Line Segment tool labels the segment being drawn with its
distance, angle and X and Y offsets, and the Pen, Curvature and Smart Pen
tools label their rubber band the same way (#2983). The Measurement
labels row is marked done, the two dimension rows drop the gap, and the
Drawing aids entry describes the labels.
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.

A geometry effect on a symbol instance's topmost fill now reshapes the
filled shapes of the symbol's art, and one on its topmost stroke reshapes
the stroked shapes, keeping their colors, strokes and other detail. Only
a visible topmost fill or stroke with an opacity above 0 counts. Clipping
paths, guides and opacity-mask art keep their shapes; a group's own fills
and strokes in the art take the effects; a nested instance passes them on
to its own art, except one whose symbol holds the outer symbol.
The canvas, Use Preview Bounds and the drawn bounds, SVG and PDF export
and Object > Expand Appearance use the same art. Expand Appearance is
enabled for such an instance and turns it into an editable group in one
undo step. Bounds measure the art with a dynamic symbol's overrides, as
the canvas draws it.
Existing documents with a geometry effect on a symbol instance's fill or
stroke draw differently: before, the effect drew nothing.
The Colour, swatches, gradients, patterns, mesh, recolor row of
docs/target-app-parity.md now lists the outline fix and its two tests.
Score and hours are unchanged.
A 3D effect left an image in a clipping group out only when the image's
box missed the clipping path's box. An image in the corner of a round
clip's box, a turned image whose box reaches a clip but whose frame does
not, an image in an even-odd hole, or one inside each of two nested clips
but outside the area they show together was refused with the Image Trace
message, although it draws nothing.
The image's frame, the pixel rectangle as its transform places it, is now
cut to every clipping path around it in turn, each with its own fill rule,
and the image is left out when nothing is left. An image the clips show
any part of, a strip narrower than a hundredth of a point included, is
still refused. One effect's art cuts image frames at most 1,024 times;
past that, or when a cut fails, the art is refused.
A point exactly on a gradient mesh's outline located on the top and left
edges but not on the bottom and right ones, where the nonzero winding
number is 0. object.mesh.addLine and Create Gradient Mesh at a point there
reported the point outside the mesh, and the Eyedropper did not sample it,
while the hit test selects the mesh there.
locate_within now takes the nearest point of the edge for a point within
a millionth of a point of the outline, with any tolerance, and returns
nothing for a point that is not finite. A point just outside still needs
a tolerance.
A right-click on a row of the Artboards panel opens a menu with Rename,
which opens the Rename dialog (artboard.rename) for the selected
artboards: OK names them in one undo step, numbered in panel order when
there are several, and Cancel renames nothing. A right-click on a row
that is not selected first makes its artboard the active one and the
only selected one; on a selected row the selection stays.
A drag with the right button no longer moves a row: only the primary
button starts a row drag.
A value that nests past a command schema's 16-level limit was reported
as an internal error ("please report this bug"). It is now a parameter
error that names the value's path, like the schema's other refusals; a
schema that is wrong in itself is still an internal error.
The schema check now also refuses a list of ids or a point inside 16
lists, since every value of those types is a list and the value check
refuses a list at that depth. A color there still takes a string.

With a 3D effect on one fill or stroke, the object's other fills and
strokes were drawn as nonzero paths, so an even-odd compound path or
path filled its holes in them. Extrude & Bevel, Inflate, Rotate,
Revolve and their Classic kinds now draw those items with the source's
fill rule, through the group code's shape_node helper.
The status bar shows a failed script run as one line: the script's
name, the line and column (and the included file), the error and the
kind of failure, with any files the run left written. No catalog had a
row for that line, so the whole line stayed in English. The errors of
File, Folder, vc.run, $.evalFile, a script's $ object, its alert,
confirm and prompt dialogs, vc.document, vc.log, the limits a run can
pass and Drop Script Engine had no row in any complete catalog either,
and several were not listed by the untranslated-strings report.
- Every complete-message catalog has rows for these errors and for the
failed-run line at each place and for each kind (syntax, thrown,
limit, stopped, internal). The script's name, paths, numbers, code
names ($.flags, File, answers, true, null, UTF-8), command ids and
the text a script throws itself are kept.
- A failure with no line and column, such as an error in code eval
compiled, is shown with one colon after the script's name
("t.js: TypeError: no (thrown)" instead of "t.js:: TypeError: no
(thrown)").
- A placeholder that occurs twice in a message template matches only
the same text both times. Before, "{name}: the next answer in
`answers` is for {_1}, not {name}" matched a whole failed-run line
and dropped its line, column and kind.
- The message scan reads the script host's fail(, value( and .over(
helpers and the script interpreter's errors (the js crate), skips
*_tests.rs files and cfg(all(test, ...)) modules, and reads a
constant's text from the file or crate that declares it, so the
Scripts menu's headers are no longer listed as messages.

A filter's or importer's output clamps each gradient stop's offset,
opacity, midpoint, tint and color, but kept its four process plates as
given, so a plate below 0, above 1 or infinite was stored in the
document. Each plate is now clamped to 0-1: a value that is not a
number becomes 0, and an infinite one becomes 0 or 1 by its sign.
Painted live effects still refuse such a stop.
