A client confined by --automation-read-root saw paths outside its read
roots that the person or an earlier request had put in the session:
- plugin.list: the plug-in folder last loaded and its failed files;
plugin.list and plugin.info: a plug-in's source file; plugin.list,
plugin.safeMode and plugin.setEnabled: the file of a plug-in turned
off for the next launch.
- file.recovery.list and file.recovery.restore: a document's original
file; file.recovery.list and file.recovery.save: the recovery folder.
- ui.inspect's scriptReport: the files a run wrote and the included
file a failed run stopped in.
A folder outside the read roots is now null, and a file outside them is
named by its file name. plugin.setEnabled {file} takes that name. The
restored documents keep their files, and unconfined clients and the
app's own UI see the same replies as before.
docs/mcp.md lists the four easingType values. It and the
object.blend.setEasing params text say that a blend made without a
spine takes easingType and ramp once Replace Spine has given it one,
which the set_easing test now checks.
Each built-in category (Mobile, Web, Print, Film & Video, Art &
Illustration, Branding, Social) has a New Document profile, a native
document in the New Document Profiles folder next to the preferences.
file.new copies the profile's swatches, graphic styles, brushes, symbols,
patterns, character and paragraph styles, rulers, Document Setup options,
assigned color profiles and print settings into the new document. The
preset's size, units, artboards, bleed, background, color mode and
resolution still apply, and the profile's art and layers are not copied.
- file.newProfiles lists the profiles, file.newProfiles.edit opens one
as a document (writing the shipped profile first), and
file.newProfiles.reset deletes its file. file.new takes `profile`.
- Saved and Recent presets keep the profile of the preset they came from.
- A profile that cannot be read, is larger than 64 MiB or is not a native
document leaves the defaults, and file.new reports it in profileError.
- New Document has a Manage Profiles pop-up with Edit and Reset.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
- Expanding a layer removed its ruler guides with its members. The guides
of the layer and of its sublayers now stay on the layer, after the edges.
- Geometry effects after a 3D effect reshaped all the faces as one path, so
Offset Path merged faces that touch. Each effect now reshapes each face on
its own, about the bounds of all the faces, within one shared budget of
anchors, as it reshapes the drawn surface.
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
A four-component JPEG whose EXIF orientation turns or flips it went
through the image decoder, which reads CMYK JPEGs as RGB, and was
stored as an RGB PNG without its inks. It is now stored the way a
turned CMYK TIFF is: its inks, 8 bits each, turned and written as a
CMYK TIFF with the turned resolution.
- vectorcraft_doc::cmyk::turned_cmyk turns the inks of a CMYK JPEG or
TIFF, next to stored_cmyk_tiff; tiff_inks is private again.
- raster_image swaps the resolution axes inline, as its HEIF branch
does.
- The links comment and the docs/target-app-parity.md line on EXIF
orientation now describe the turned CMYK TIFF.
With Background Export on, an Export for Screens call that gives only an
`exportPreset` whose preset keeps a folder ran at once on the UI thread,
because the background route looked at the call's own `folder` only. It
now takes the preset's folder as well and writes in the background with
the progress dialog and Cancel, as an export into a folder it names.
When that folder is outside an MCP client's read roots, the prepared
export carries the folder's shown name, so the reply written later lists
the files relative to the folder with no ZIP `path`, a refused write names
the folder by its name, and the status bar does the same, as for an
export made at once.
The status of a preset-only export made at once named an empty folder
("Exported 1 file to "); it now names the preset's folder.
- `Session::screen_export_folder` returns the folder an export writes
into and its shown name when the reply leaves it out.
- `ScreenExport::write` applies the read-root rule decided when the
export was prepared.
- docs/mcp.md and docs/target-app-parity.md describe the change.
effect.expandAsWireframes returned "draws no faces" for an object with
Revolve (Classic). It now takes the faces of Revolve (Classic) with that
effect's own options, and Rotate (Classic) is expanded as Rotate is: every
fill and stroke turned as one plane.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/three-d.md.
The Dynamic Text: Block entry says the Contextual Task Bar offers the
item for point type too, and that turning it on makes point type area
type with Block on. The Dynamic Text entry no longer says point type in
the selection is left as it is.
The plug-in host's manifest, module and run errors, the errors about an
importer's, exporter's or effect's output and the approval error had no
@msg row in most complete-message catalogs, and the reasons its error
helpers put inside them (bad(), wrong(), out_err(), in_range(), unit(),
read_packed()) were never scanned, so the status bar showed them in
English or mixed two languages.
- Every complete-message catalog gets the rows in a "Plug-in host
messages" section, and the Hindi rows for these messages are fixed.
- The message scan reads the plug-in host's error helpers, and
objects.rs writes its two duplicate-id errors as whole strings.
- message() leaves a captured JSON object or array as written.
- Templates that start with text match before templates that start
with a placeholder, so a wrapping message uses its own row.
A run whose script fails to compile defines no code, so its source map
is not kept and the places of earlier runs stay within the engine's
budget. docs/mcp.md and the progress line say so, and the progress line
names the errors that are reported without a line and column.
The Window menu checked a panel whenever it was in front in the layout,
even while Tab, Shift+Tab or Presentation Mode hid every panel, so
choosing it, or pressing its function key, closed the panel it was
meant to show.
- A new panel_docking::visible adds the dock and Presentation Mode to
showing. The Window menu's check marks and the toggle use it, and
window.panel puts a flyout or floating panel away only while it can
be seen. With the dock hidden, the dock shows again with the panel in
its earlier place; the toolbar and the Control bar stay as they are.
- In Presentation Mode window.panel fails with "panels can't be shown
in Presentation Mode" and changes nothing.
- reveal_panel, the Gradient and Magic Wand tool double-click, the
Character field shortcuts and the Corner and Shared Edge Merge tool
items show a panel the dock hid instead of reporting it open or
closing a floating Anchor Inspector.
Docs: window.panel params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Rewrap the prose in docs/plugins.md whose lines broke well short of
the file's 120-column width or ran past it, including the Safe Mode
sentence, the permission-name and install-confirmation sentences, and
the grants.json paragraph. Each rewrapped line is at most 120 columns.
No words, punctuation, code blocks or tables change.
A linked opacity mask moves with the art it masks, and an unlinked one
stays in place. Geometry effects on a group or layer reshaped its
members but left their linked masks where they were, Free Distort left
a linked mask behind, and an envelope bent unlinked masks too.
- Geometry effects on a group or layer run over the art of the linked
masks of the paths, compound paths and groups inside it, nested and
inverted masks included. Each Transform copy of a masked path carries
its own mask, and an image or symbol instance moved by a Transform
effect carries its linked mask. The effects on an object do not move
that object's own mask.
- When a mask can't take an effect as the art it masks does (a path in
either would pass the geometry budget, or the mask would get fewer
Transform copies), the art and its masks keep their shape under that
effect. Mask art counts toward the budget.
- Free Distort (`object.distort`) warps a linked mask with its object;
the params text says so.
- An envelope bends only a linked mask.
Docs: a line in docs/target-app-parity.md.
Effects apply in the order they are listed, so a Drop Shadow, glow, blur,
Feather or pixel filter listed before a Transform effect paints art that
the Transform effect then transforms. VectorCraft drew such an
effect at its own distances around the transformed art: a square scaled
to 200% kept a 10 pt shadow offset. Now the effect follows the Transform
effects after it, with Scale Strokes & Effects on or off: its sizes scale
by the mean scale, and a Drop Shadow's offset turns, reflects and scales
with the art. Effects listed after the Transform effect keep their values,
and Transform Objects off changes nothing.
- raster_effects reads each raster effect through the Transform effects
after it, so the canvas, export and the redraw region use the followed
values.
- Where the geometry effects are applied and removed (Expand Appearance,
baking for export, evaluated groups), the raster effects that remain
carry the same transformation, hidden ones included.
- A Transform effect that makes copies or moves at random leaves the
raster effects before it as they are. Rasterize and SVG filters keep
their options.

A grayscale or 1-bit image colorized with a spot color now counts as a
Spot Color Object. A gradient whose stops are all at an opacity of 0
draws nothing, so its spot stops no longer list the object.
- A custom arrowhead path allows at most 4,096 subpaths; stroke.set
refuses a longer one and reading drops it.
- A symbol whose shapes cannot be united or clipped is listed in
skipped instead of becoming a head that misses part of its art.
- The arrowheads file is refused when its document unpacks to more
than 64 MB.
- Edit Arrowheads creates the starter file only when none exists and
otherwise opens the file unchanged.
- After a save to the arrowheads file, the heads are read back from
the written file.
- The plug-in argument check accepts path under startArrow.Custom and
endArrow.Custom in stroke.set.
- A custom head's menu preview is scaled to fit its box, and rows
outside the visible part of the menu do not render previews.
In the text document of a .ai's editing copy, a character's fill (key
53) or stroke (key 54) is a paint with a colour under key 0 and, under
key 5, the name of an art style of the editing data. For a pattern
swatch, key 0 is black and the pattern is only in that style: a style
of one paint (/SimpleStyle) that paints with `(name) ... [matrix] p`.
The reader took key 0 alone, so type painted with a pattern came in
black.
The art style reader now keeps the pattern of a style that is one
paint, and the import places it as a path's pattern fill would be (its
matrix in art space; the files' own pages tile such type with it), by
the style's name. A run whose fill or stroke is on and names such a
style takes the pattern, in the type's text space, so its tiles stay
where the document has them. A pattern the file doesn't define or can't
place, a key 5 that isn't a string, and a style of any other paint keep
the colour as before.
A style that also has filters gives no pattern for type, and a pattern that
can't be placed in the type's text space keeps the colour. A .ai saved
again writes such type as outlines with a warning, as it already does for
any type with pattern paint (#5965).
