File › Scripts › Other Script… picks a .js or .jsx file, shows a warning
that can be turned off in Preferences › General, and runs the script
against the open documents through the `vc` object. The new
`script.run` and `script.stop` commands run and stop a script over MCP.
- A run is one transaction. Each document it changed gets one undo step
named Run Script. An uncaught error, a limit or a stop puts every
document, the paint, the clipboard, menu state and preferences back.
- A command that fails inside a run, or whose result is too large to
reach the script, is undone and throws an error the script can catch.
- Files a command wrote stay on disk and the report names them, also
when the run is stopped from the quit question.
- While a script runs, other commands that change anything fail with a
busy error; MCP reports it as JSON-RPC error -32003.
- In the app the run advances one slice per frame with a Stop button in
the status bar. A run that adds a great many objects asks whether to
continue; Stop and Escape end it.
- Commands that change state outside the documents, such as prefs.*,
plugin.* and file.place.queue, are refused to scripts.

Flatten Transparency composited each region over white, so a blend mode
on the bare page read that white. Raster renders now draw their
background under the finished art, and the flattened color no longer
matched them: a Color Burn object on the bare page flattened to white
and rendered in its own color. The region now composites the art alone
and puts the white under it.
- Tests that relied on the white under the art now draw art under the
style (`every_builtin_style_paints_visibly_on_a_rectangle`) or compare
only whole-pixel pans with a fresh render
(`a_coarser_glow_kept_whole_draws_after_a_pan_as_made_again`).
- New tests cover every blend mode on white and blue backgrounds, a
thumbnail and the ink planes with a Screen glow, and
`over_background` at background and pixel alpha 0, 128 and 255.
With Scroll Sideways with Cmd/Ctrl + Wheel on, wheel() turned all
Cmd/Ctrl wheel motion into a sideways scroll unless it arrived as a
pinch event. A wheel turn now zooms about the pointer once it holds an
event from a trackpad source, point deltas from an unnamed source in the
desktop app, or line deltas that are not whole notches. Whole notches
keep scrolling sideways, and the option's default is unchanged. The same
rule applies with Zoom with Mouse Wheel on. egui-winit reports a wheel
source only on macOS, so the delta decides elsewhere.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A raster export filled its background into the page before the art, so
blend modes read it as art underneath: an Outer Glow in Screen mode, the
default, turned white on a white background and was missing from PNG and
JPEG files while the canvas showed it. Blending against nothing also
differed from the canvas for Difference and the other modes.
The background now goes under the finished art, in frames and in object
thumbnails. A blend mode reads only the art below it. A white object
under a Difference object still inverts.
Page Isolated Blending no longer changes a raster export on a bare page.

An image in a Separation color space opened as an RGB image: its spot ink
was lost (no plate in Separations Preview), and Fill and Recolor Artwork
didn't reach its color.
It now opens as a grayscale image of its tints (white where it lays no
ink, black at 100 %, its Decode array applied; 1 to 16 bits a sample, or
one gray channel from its JPEG, CCITT, JBIG2 or JPEG 2000 decoder),
colorized by its ink at 100 %: the spot swatch, a process plate's CMYK
color, or Registration. Its mask becomes its opacity mask, as a CMYK
image's does. The ink is found by the image's color space among those the
file defines, once per image. The ink None, an ink whose color can't be
told, images inside an alpha soft mask, inline images and DeviceN images
open as before; samples that can't be read open in RGB with a warning, and
the ink gets no swatch.

A mark glyph's vertical translation started a new draw_glyphs batch, so
krilla received the cluster's source range again and mapped its
characters twice. Copying or searching the exported PDF then found
doubled letters for Arabic harakat in any font, and for every dotted
letter in fonts that draw dots as zero-advance mark glyphs (Noto Sans,
Naskh and Kufi Arabic).
Keep compatible glyphs on the same layout line in one batch and carry
their relative vertical placement as per-glyph y_offset; horizontal
placement is unchanged (next_x - x advances). Font, size, linear
transform, line/column, paint run, list marker and hyphen boundaries
still split batches. Krilla keeps owning cluster mappings and
ActualText. No importer change.
Regressions decode the content stream and ToUnicode maps: one batch per
layout line, no duplicated cluster assignment, one ActualText per
multi-glyph cluster, contours within 0.05 pt of outline export; mixed
scripts, vertical columns, path rotations and PDF/X variants covered.
The reader round-trip stays an ignored test until the importer consumes
ActualText (#6165).
Addresses #6309.
Editable PDF import derived characters from glyph Unicode/CID mappings
even when the enclosing marked-content sequence supplied /ActualText.
A span that paints "xy" but says "AB", followed by "C", imported "xyC".
Track the outermost replacement owner per span (absent, explicitly
empty, consumed), decode it with the existing PDF text-string decoder,
emit it once at the first placeable glyph, and let the remaining glyphs
of the span advance the pen without phantom character slots or
inferred spaces. Authored stretches keep their logical order while
adjacent ordinary text still goes through visual-to-logical
reconstruction. Glyph identity still drives font matching. Depth and
size are bounded; oversized or unbalanced spans fall back to glyph
mappings with a warning.
Outlines mode and PDF export are unchanged. Parity docs updated,
scores unchanged.
Fixes#6165.
A PDF image mask (`/ImageMask true`) painted in a solid color opened as an
RGB image with the color in its pixels: Fill and Recolor Artwork didn't
reach the color, a spot color lost its ink, and the same mask painted again
in another color took the first one, because the painted image was cached
by the mask alone, and so did an uncolored pattern whose cell draws a mask.
It now opens as a grayscale image of what it paints, colorized by that
color, as the .ai reader opens a 1-bit image mask (#5790). A spot color
keeps its swatch and tint. The page's walk counts paths, not images, so the
ink is found from the color space. Readings of a pattern cell are told
apart by colorized images' colors too. Inside an alpha soft mask, or
painted with a pattern, a mask opens as before.

copyFrom only writes paints enabled for pickup and apply, and paint, Transparency and the Eyedropper record an undo step only when the override changes.
copyFrom still edits the part when reverse, append and defaultsOnly are false, and reverse copies onto source. transparency.set records an undo step only when the override changes.
A picked part takes transparency and the Eyedropper only when those calls omit their other targets. Art, Pattern and Bristle brushes, native Wayland and the web still do not take tilt, bearing or rotation.
Direct Selection of a path, compound path or type inside a dynamic instance now applies transparency and gradient or pattern fills through the usual paint commands, and the G5 docs catch up on Overlap and Pattern auto corners.
On macOS the canvas paints tool cursor glyphs into the frame, so they
trail the pointer by a frame or more (#2292). This interim adapter
delivers the same glyphs as native NSCursors, which AppKit moves
independently of canvas redraws.
ui-egui prepares cached 1x/2x RGBA requests from the existing cursor
rasterizer and hotspots (transparent padding only) and keeps returning
a visible system fallback icon. The desktop host builds NSImage/NSCursor
objects with point-sized images and hotspots, owns cursor-rectangle
suspension and restoration, and hands the cursor back on menu tracking,
focus loss, empty passes, cursor overrides and shutdown.
Windows/X11, Wayland and web delivery are unchanged. No artwork, no
production unsafe, no new dependency package: only four AppKit features
are enabled on the already-shipped objc2-app-kit. Remove once the pinned
winit sizes macOS cursor images and hotspots in points.
Addresses #2292.
docs/mcp.md: vectorcraft-cli's mcp and run sessions keep the words in the file too; only without preferences do they last until the app closes. docs/type-parity.md: the custom dictionary commands are done and only the dialogs and Auto Spell Check remain, with the evidence at the end of the row.
When the page's type is matched with the text objects, page words are also
split at private-use characters (from uniXXXX ligature glyph names such as
/uniE028 for a "ti" ligature) and each piece is matched as its own word, so
"Quality" set with that ligature matches its text object and the layers are
read without a false note.
