Three Extrude & Bevel dialog tests used a clipping group as their example
of an object a 3D effect refuses, and clipping groups now apply. Their
helper now places an image, and they check for the image message ("can't
build a solid from an image") in place of "requires a path".
They switch the process-wide Color Settings away from the defaults, which
every colour the engine's unit tests show or render goes through, so they
move to tests/color_settings.rs as the note on colormgmt's GLOBAL asks. The
round-trip test now also unregisters the loaded profile before the next
session, so it shows the profile store registering it again before the saved
settings name it.
A drop guard puts the default settings back, unregisters the loaded profile
and deletes the temporary files, so a failed assertion no longer leaves the
process-wide colour state changed for the next test holding GLOBAL.
The interpreter runs skipped every test with a missing built-in's name
anywhere in a string literal, so a test that only mentions Boolean in
a message or in text data was never run. A string now counts when it
is the name alone (a property key such as this["Map"]), or when the
test or an included harness file can run strings as code (eval,
Function or a constructor property, by name or by string key).
Identifiers and property names count as before, and a source that does
not tokenize as ES5 is still skipped.
At tc39/test262 d53ebc8b, language/types/string/S8.4_A6.1.js and
S8.4_A6.2.js now run and pass: the language run goes from 2,459 tests
(205 skipped) to 2,461 (203 skipped), and the failure lists are
unchanged.
A call whose arguments hold a file or folder key at any depth, such as an
effect's textureImage.path, is refused before the command runs; the walk
keeps its own stack. Each call also runs with automation file access
confined to no roots, so every checked read or write a command makes is
refused, whichever param carried the path.
Create Gradient Mesh, a Mesh tool click and Object > Expand of a gradient
to a mesh gave each border edge one cubic fitted between two mesh points
and picked the corners from the bounding box, so the border cut off
corners and curves: 49 pt off a five-point star, 54 pt off a notch.
- The border follows the outline of the largest subpath by length; border
points sit on it and an edge with no anchor inside is the exact piece
of its segment.
- Where no single cubic follows a run within 0.1 pt (a thousandth of the
size on a small outline), a mesh line goes through an anchor, the
sharpest corner first; at most 256 lines each way. Rectangles and
ellipses keep the rows and columns asked for.
- Smooth runs keep their end tangents; border handles are no longer made
collinear.
- To Center and To Edge highlight placement accounts for the extra lines
(for_path_shaded, also used for gradient fills).
- Non-finite points give no mesh; a degenerate outline keeps the old
bounding-box mesh.
Holes of a compound path are still left out, as before.

- PDF 1.3 and 1.4 files, PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3, PDF/X-4 and PDF/A-2b at
PDF 1.4 among them, write a page longer than 14,400 pt in points
again, now with a warning that apps that keep to the limit cut it to
200 in. Only a page that failed with
"PDF writer error: Limit(TooLargeFloat)" gets the new error: one
whose size or art needs a real number past 32,767, the most PDF 1.4
holds. Whole numbers are written as integers, so a page of whole
points past 32,767 is written as before.
- A page whose side is past 32,767 pt and not a whole number of points
is refused before the thumbnails are drawn and the transparency is
flattened.
- A PDF 1.5 file written as PDF 1.6 for a long page keeps PDF 1.5's
encryption (128-bit RC4), which the Save PDF dialog shows.
- A long page whose short side would be under 3 units at its UserUnit
(ISO 32000-1, Annex C.2), such as 50 m x 4 mm, gets a smaller
UserUnit that keeps the short side at 3 units, with a warning.
- The warnings give a page's size rounded up, as the error does.
A page of 14,400 pt or less is written as before. The new warning has
rows in every complete catalog. Docs: docs/mcp.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md and the document.exportPdf params.
`Session::history_budget` (default `default_history_budget()`) caps the
memory the undo steps of all open documents keep together. After each
command, tool edit, interaction commit, direct edit, framed script run
and closed undo group, `Session::trim_histories` drops the oldest steps
of any document first, undo steps before redo steps. Each document keeps
its last eight undo steps and next eight redo steps, and a held history
keeps all of its steps. While a script runs or an undo group is open,
no steps are dropped, so a canceled group leaves the other documents'
steps in place. Closing a document frees its share. The steps are not
counted again while neither the budget nor any history changed. Each
document's own `byte_budget` stays as its ceiling.
edit.colorSettings set only the process-wide colour settings, so the RGB and
CMYK working spaces, intent and black point compensation went back to the
defaults at every start, although the profiles color.loadProfile loads are
kept (#2168, #2174). The engine now writes them to a settings file when they
change (Session::attach_color_settings), and the desktop app and
vectorcraft-cli keep that file as `Color Settings.json` next to the
preferences, attached right after the profile store so a saved working space
may be a loaded profile. Saved settings that can't be used (a profile that is
gone, a damaged or oversized file) leave the defaults with a log record, and
the next change writes over them. Nothing is read or written with
VECTORCRAFT_NO_PREFS.
A compound member copied or cut on its own now keeps the compound's
gradient fitted where it was: an unplaced gradient is pinned to the
compound's bounds, measured once per compound.
Clear that deletes every anchor or segment of every member of a compound
path now removes the compound too, as Cut does, instead of leaving an
empty compound in the layer.
The edit.copy and edit.clear descriptions, docs/mcp.md and the progress
line now say that selecting the compound copies it whole, that isolation
mode takes each member as itself, and how a compound of one and Paste in
Front with the copied member still selected behave.
Two installed versions of one font are two fonts of the set, so each
keeps its own /5. The generated variable test font now has a version
(name ID 5), and the test checks each variable record writes it.

vc_call returning -11 (from the start function, or in a run that can't make
calls) now fails the run like every other code, so a plug-in that ignores
it can't report success for a call that never ran. Calls are allowed once
the module has loaded, so a start-function call gets -11 instead of
trapping.
A run that calls imageTrace.make used to take the trace the app handed in
for the command, and a failed run did not give it back. The trace is now
set aside while the run goes and handed back after it.
The message for a group member that can't become a solid now names groups
and clipping groups too. docs/three-d.md states that an image left out of a
clipping group also needs no visible fills or strokes of its own.
A compound-path member selected on its own, whole with Direct Selection
or with Group Selection, is now copied as an ordinary path instead of
promoting the selection to its compound. Cut removes the same objects
Copy takes, so the other members stay a compound path, a compound of
one included. The compound is still taken whole when every member is
selected whole, or when the compound itself is selected.
A copied member or piece takes the compound's paint, opacity, blending
mode, opacity mask, pixel alignment and fill rule.
Tests that pinned the earlier rule from #786 now check the new one.
A command's result describes the document, so a plug-in without doc.read
gets -6 for every call, whether or not the id names a command. A run that
calls commands commits an edit still in progress first and prepares its
input again when that changed the document or the selection.
- A new test walks every code point from U+0000 to U+10FFFF, surrogates
left out, and compares the start and part checks with Unicode Standard
Annex #31's general-category definition of ID_Start and ID_Continue,
written out in the test. The test also checks the set sizes against the
totals in Unicode 16.0's DerivedCoreProperties (141,269 and 144,541).
- The Other_ID_Continue test covers every code point of the property,
U+136A to U+1370 and the zero width non-joiner and joiner included.
- The zero width non-joiner and joiner are part of the Other_ID_Continue
list in chars.rs instead of a separate case.
Inside a clipping group, the fills of a shape were cut into one piece in
the top fill's place. Rotate turns every fill, so with a fill, a stroke
and a fill, the lower fill was drawn above the stroke. With Rotate, each
fill now becomes its own piece in its own place. Extrude & Bevel, Inflate
and Revolve build from the top fill and keep one piece there, also when
an object changes from Rotate to another 3D type.
A drop guard restores egui's app-wide option, so a panic in the popup's panel
(caught by the app's guard) no longer leaves presses ending every field's edit.
is_id_start now accepts the Other_ID_Start characters (U+1885, U+1886,
U+2118, U+212E, U+309B, U+309C), and is_id_part the Other_ID_Continue
characters (U+00B7, U+0387, U+1369 to U+1371, U+19DA, U+30FB, U+FF65),
as Unicode's ID_Start and ID_Continue properties and the ECMAScript
Names and Keywords clause define them. Letters, marks, digits and
connectors that are Pattern_Syntax are refused, which replaces the
U+2E2F special case. Escaped identifier characters go through the same
check. A supplementary letter right after a number is now the
"identifier starts immediately after numeric literal" error.
Letter categories still come from Unicode 16.0, so characters assigned
in later versions are not identifier characters yet.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
docs/mcp.md and docs/target-app-parity.md said that a width or height
typed with Measure Type by Glyph Bounds on changes the font size by the
scale. The font size follows the vertical scale only: a width typed
alone, out of proportion, changes the horizontal scale and keeps the
font size, and a height typed alone changes the horizontal scale the
other way. A new test checks both.
The Properties panel's Stroke link and the Appearance panel's Stroke: row open
the Stroke panel as a popup. A click outside closed it without drawing it
again, so the dash field (or any other field in it) never saw itself lose the
keyboard, and what was typed went back. A popup closing while one of its
fields has the keyboard now draws once more first: the field lets go of the
keyboard to the click and commits, as it does in a panel. The Appearance
popup closes on the press, before it is a click, so for that last frame a
press is what lets go of the keyboard. Escape still drops what was typed.
A variable font's CoolTypeFont record in the text document now carries
/4 (its design vector, one 16.16 value per fvar axis) and /5 (its
version string), and the font set keys on name plus design vector, so a
named instance or a run's own axis setting no longer opens at the
font's default instance. Static fonts are unchanged.

A call was refused when any string in its arguments started with plugin., so a filter could not create text such as "plugin.example". Only the values of effect, effects, id (effect.apply's other name for effect), command and commands count now, at any depth.
Inflate's grid clipped every ring of the outline in each cell the
outline crosses and tested every edge for each cell's center, so its
work grew with the outline's points times the cells: a comb of 4,000
teeth (16,002 points) took 1.1 to 1.3 s and one of 16,000 teeth 8.8 to
9.1 s. Inflate now counts that work (the edge index's entries, the edges
its queries look at and the ring points its cells clip) and refuses the
shape with "The 3D surface is too complex; simplify the shape" once it
passes 268,435,456, VectorCraft's own value (about 0.65 s). The index
takes at most 16,777,216 entries (64 MiB). Each row's inside test reads
the sorted crossings of its line, and a cell clips only the rings whose
bounds meet it, so a 65,536-point circle inflates in 0.66 s instead of
1.0 to 1.2 s.
The effects test of a stroke past the limits uses 40,000 corners, so its
outline passes the 65,536 points a solid takes.
Docs: docs/three-d.md, docs/mcp.md.
A script.run that a control request started in the app's frames was
advanced by later frames, which run unconfined, so its vc.run file
commands could read and write outside the caller's automation roots.
The job now keeps the file-access scope of its script.run and runs
each slice in it, as background opening and the folder walker do.
Two engine tests still expected a clipping group to be refused. Each
solid 3D effect (Extrude, Inflate, Rotate and Classic Extrude) on a group
holding a clipping group now applies and draws a solid, with the members
unchanged. Revolve on a clipping group, alone or in a group, now draws its
surface. The refusal cases now use an image, alone or in a group, which
is still refused with the Image Trace message and leaves the document
unchanged.
main added text.setPathHandle, which moves a handle of type on a path's path in the document. Commands a plug-in may call are listed one by one, so it goes in the allowed list.
