document.export and document.serialize to .ai with useArtboards: false
wrote the one page of the visible art, but embedded the one-artboard
stand-in as the native document and as the editing copy for other apps.
Reopened, the file replaced the document's artboards with one artboard
around the art.
- The .ai of the art's bounds now leaves out both editing copies and
returns the warning "Preserve editing was left out: an .ai file of the
art's bounds would replace the document's artboards when reopened",
as the PDF of the art's bounds does.
- useArtboards: false with pdfCompatible: false is refused, with or
without editingData, since the file would have blank pages and no
editing copy.
- Save, Save As, Save a Copy and exports of the artboards keep both
copies. Legacy version 7 .ai files are written as before.

Dutch was not in COMPLETE_MESSAGES, so with the interface in Dutch
script errors, plug-in manifest and permission errors, parameter
schema errors, 3D effect refusals, file-reader errors and data-set
messages showed in English.
- nl.tsv gains 557 `@msg` rows and one `@msgplural` row: the messages
the German catalog translates and Dutch lacked. Most are one block
with a header comment on their conventions, in the order de.tsv
holds them; the rest sit next to the related existing rows.
Backticked names, command ids, double-quoted values and bare true,
false and null stay as the English writes them.
- nl joins COMPLETE_MESSAGES, so the message tests that iterate the
list check Dutch too, and the untranslated report lists Dutch's
missing messages. It lists the same set for Dutch as for German.
- The registry comment, docs/development.md, the Dutch row and
introduction of docs/localization-parity.md, and the interface
languages line of docs/target-app-parity.md list Dutch among the
languages that translate messages.
A right or middle drag on a swatch or color group, a brush, a symbol, a
graphic style, a library item or group, a character or paragraph style,
an Appearance row or thumbnail, the Fill and Stroke squares, a Recent
Colors chip or the Gradient panel's thumbnail started the same drag as
the primary button, so it could reorder, copy, delete or apply the item.
These drags now start only with the primary button, as Layers rows
(#7016) and Artboards rows (#7005) do: `widgets::drag_source`, the
Swatches tiles, library panel items, text style rows and Appearance rows
check `drag_started_by(Primary)`, and the Appearance thumbnail shows the
grabbing hand only for a primary drag. Right-click menus and the Graphic
Styles panel's held right-button preview are unchanged.
A right-click on a character style in the Libraries panel now opens Apply
Character Style, Add to Character Styles, Move to Group, Rename… and
Delete. Apply is enabled only with type selected. Opening the menu applies
nothing, and the paragraph style menu is unchanged.
- library.addToCharacterStyles adds the style to the document's character
styles without applying it, so no type needs to be selected. A document
style with the same name and attributes is reused with no undo step, and
a name taken by other attributes gets a number.
- library.renameItem renames a library item in place and keeps its group.
The name is trimmed and has 1 to 256 characters. Another item of the same
kind with that name is an error, the item's own name writes nothing, and
a rename is not a document undo step.
- library.use and library.addToCharacterStyles compare a library style
with the document's in the form the document stores it in. A whole
number size from a library file no longer adds a numbered copy.
- A character style color linked to a swatch that is not a global or spot
swatch of the document keeps the color it shows without the link.
Before, adding or applying such a style failed with "no swatch".

path.smoothRegion replaced the anchors of each path it smoothed but left
the selection alone, so anchor and segment refs selected with Direct
Selection still named the old indices: after a smooth that removed
anchors, a ref could point past the end of the path or at another
anchor. The edit now drops those refs for each path it changes, so the
path stays selected whole. Selected paths the drag does not change keep
their anchors, and undo restores the earlier selection.
Stroke is the widest feature that can be stroked, and it was applied to
each connected shape as a whole: a thick body with thin arms stayed one
filled area. Now a shape wider than Stroke somewhere keeps as its area
every disc wider than Stroke that fits in it, and each piece outside
those discs that reaches out of them at least one and a half times its
own width (and 3 px) is traced as a stroked center line. A line's end at
the area goes to the cut, so the line's cap closes the join. Corners and
edge slivers stay in the area, and a piece that cannot be traced stays
in it too. Shapes no wider than Stroke trace as before.
Each line keeps one width; without Fills, the area is still a 1 px
outline.

The i18n test that main added for 3D refusals calls validate_three_d_at with this branch's (Option<usize>, usize) position: effect 0 of appearance item 0 is (Some(0), 0).
With both guides of an axis past the same edge, the art keeps its size
from the other edge of the instance, or shrinks to the instance's width
or height when the instance is smaller than the art. The module doc,
AxisMap::new and the docs/target-app-parity.md entry now say so.
A selected warp envelope now shows the points of its surface on a 4x4
grid (8x8 or 16x16 where 4x4 strays more than 0.1% of the warp's
diagonal from it). object.mesh.movePoint, movePoints, addLine,
deletePoint and object.envelope.setMeshPoint accept a warp: the first
edit turns it into a mesh envelope on that grid and applies the edit as
one undo step, so Undo or Escape gives the warp back with its style and
bend. An edit that moves no point leaves the warp and adds no undo
step. A warp that no such grid follows (some version 0 maps) shows no
points and its edits fail without changing anything.
movePoints and setPointColor on a gradient mesh record no undo step
when they change no point.
#5748 moved the Pencil's and the Paintbrush's Fidelity to screen pixels, but
docs/ui-parity.md still gave it in points. The Pencil row now gives the
slider's rail, the field and the key steps in px, and says the tool sends
path.freehand the value in points at the current zoom.
The Pencil row also appeared twice, the second copy without the Fidelity
text. The two rows are merged into one.
The comments on FIDELITY_MAX, fidelity_step, fidelity_at and fidelity_from
in the Tool Options dialog name the tool's unit, since the slider is shared
with Smooth and Blob Brush, which stay in points.
When a linked file lost its clipping path, the clip group holding the
image stayed as a plain group of the image. When the file had a clipping
path again, the image went into a new clip group inside that plain group,
so each round nested one more group. The plain group holding just the
image now becomes its clip group again, in the layers and in symbol,
pattern, graph design and mask art.
With the lowResProxyEps preference on, opening a document kept the saved
preview of a linked DCS file, so the link showed as EPS without its
plates. Opening now reads the first 1 MiB of each such EPS file and reads
a DCS file in full. The whole file is read only when a binary EPS header
puts the PostScript past those bytes or the header comments run past
them. Other EPS files keep their preview.
