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.

- file.new installs the color profiles a New Document profile's file
carries when they are missing, as document.open does, so the new
document's assigned profile draws and a save embeds it. A color
profile that can't be used is listed in the result's `warnings` and
shown in the status bar.
- The new document's links find their files through relative paths
from the profile's file (`links_from`), as
edit.newDocumentFromState sets it.
- When the read roots leave out the profiles folder, profileError's
reason no longer names the folder's path.
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.
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 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.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
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.

The double-click right of an RGB field was the only way to switch R, G and B
between percent and 0 to 255 from the UI. ui.colorRgbPercent (Toggle RGB
Percent) is listed in the command palette and in Keyboard Shortcuts without a
default key, and switches the same setting. A parameter answers an error and
changes nothing. The label has a row in every complete catalog.
Paste placed character and paragraph styles before the patterns, symbols
and brushes they use, and compared each one with the document's before a
pattern it painted with had its final name. A style that painted with a
pattern added as "Dots 2" kept painting with the document's own "Dots",
or was matched to a document style of its name that paints with that
"Dots". A symbol whose art paints with such a pattern, and a brush whose
art sets type in a style renamed on the way in, were matched the same way.
Paste, and the symbol, brush, pattern and Libraries imports that add art
through it, now place each style, symbol, pattern and brush after the
ones it uses, as Load Character Styles and Load Paragraph Styles already
did, and relink the styles they add at the end. Pasted back into its own
document, each definition stays the document's of its name.
File › Open already opened `.vcstyles` graphic style libraries in their
library panel and imported `.vcperspective` perspective grid presets, but
its dialog had no filter for either. It now lists "Graphic Style
Libraries" after "Swatch libraries" and "Perspective grid presets" after
"Print presets". "All readable files" still lists documents only.
Other Library… and Locate Library… in the swatch and graphic style
library panels list their library filter once; the swatch dialog listed
"Swatch libraries" twice.
With the Artboard tool chosen and Align to Selection, two selected artboards are the first and the last of the distribution, so the Align panel's and the Control bar's Distribute buttons are off until three are selected. With Align to Artboard the spacing places the second artboard from the active one, and two are enough.
The Distribute Spacing field takes negative values with the Artboard tool chosen, as artboard.distributeSpacing overlaps the artboards with a negative spacing. With other tools its lowest value stays 0.
Art inside two overlapping artboards now goes with the one first in artboard order when the artboard Align and Distribute commands move them, and stays when that artboard stays, as in the other artboard edits.
A command that needs a number, such as `x` of `shape.rectangle`, `intensity`
of `edit.colors.saturate` or `index` of `object.envelope.setMeshPoint`,
answered "missing number `x`" both when the key was left out and when it was
given as a value that is not a number, such as "40". A value that is given but
is not a number is now refused with "`x` must be a number, not "40"", the
message the optional number checks already use, showing the value as given.
A key left out or given as null is still a missing number. Neither error
changes the document or records an undo step.
