In a gradient or a shaded area the palette colors on either side of a band
border differ by more than the image changes across it, so pixel noise
decided where the border ran, and it was smoothed over 0.5 px like a real
edge: borders wobbled, kept stair steps and took many anchors.
Each crack between two colors now records how much of the step between
them the image makes next to it and a few pixels further out, how much the
image changes there along the line between the two colors and in any
direction, and how much it changes within each side (RGB distances, 0 to
255 a channel). A piece of outline is the contour of a smooth area when its
cracks show less than half of the step; either more of it further out, a
change along the line under 12, or no opaque pixels further out; some change
within the sides, at least 1/32 of the change along the line; and a whole change
under twice the change along the line, or under 24. Such a piece is
smoothed over 4 px (a closed one over at most an eighth of its smaller
width or height), keeps no corners, is fitted to at least 0.5 px and is
checked against its smoothed points. The values are the same from either
side of the crack.
Grayscale reads each pixel as its gray, for this rule and for every edge's
sub-pixel shift, which compared the pixels' colors with gray palette
entries.
Color traces of clean flat-color art and Black and White traces are
unchanged. Specks rise by up to 0.8 per image on gradient and photo
inputs, and Auto Color with Shapes leaves a 0.3 px gap there.

With one object that Start Global Edit accepts selected with the Selection
tool, the canvas now highlights the other objects a start would take with the
current Global Edit Options, before Global Edit starts. The outlines are kept
per document revision and options, and none are shown during a drag.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Global Edit), docs/gaps.md (G5).
- `charpath` in a CIDFont only named, over a predefined CMap, adds the
outlines of the characters its codes stand for, placed as `show` sets
them, and moves the point as `show` does. It added no outlines.
- `cshow` gives its procedure each code of such type, two bytes for a
two-byte code, with the code's width. It split two-byte codes into
single bytes.
- `glyphshow` sets the named character itself. It set the character's
UTF-8 bytes as Latin-1 letters.
- `kshow` runs its procedure between each two codes of such type, with
the two codes' values. It didn't run it. The procedure sees the font
the file set as current, and a font it sets stays current.
- A name that ends in the row-and-cell CMap `H` or `V` splits off the
CMap only when the file defines the CIDFont of that name (as a
resource or with `definefont`), or the name has a hyphen and an
installed face that covers Japanese has it. `Foo-Bold-H` stays a font
of the whole name.
- In a CMap that can't be read (`GBT-H`), each code moves the point one
em, along the line or down the column; a tab or carriage return byte
is a code of its own.
- One parser reads the names of the predefined Unicode CMaps, for EPS
and legacy `.ai` type.
- Outlines added to a path by `charpath` stop at the path's point limit.
- docs/file-format-parity.md, docs/gaps.md and docs/mcp.md describe type
in named CIDFonts over the predefined CMaps.
Single Word Justification's Full Justify counted and placed a gap after
every drawn glyph, so a combining mark or the vowel sign of a Devanagari
syllable moved away from its letter. Desired Letter Spacing and the
letter spacing range of a justified line did the same between two glyphs
of one cluster.
- The Full Justify gap count and placement share one check that skips
glyphs with the same cluster byte as the glyph drawn after them.
- Letter spacing goes after the last glyph of a cluster only.
- Letter spacing, Full Justify and CJK inter-character gaps pass over
every default-ignorable character drawn with no width (soft hyphens,
bidi marks, embeddings, overrides and isolates, joiners, word joiners,
variation selectors, tags, the byte order mark) and put the space
between the visible characters on either side. The Hangul fillers stay
letters.
- A zero-width space takes no word-space room on a justified line and
stays a line break opportunity. Letter spacing before it is set after
it, so a line broken there ends at its last letter.
- A single word that Full Justify spreads and that breaks at a hyphen
has the same gap before the drawn hyphen as between its letters.
- Kinsoku push-in counts the gaps it can close past format controls, as
the layout closes them.
Tests cover horizontal, right-to-left and vertical type, Desired and
fitted letter spacing, format controls, zero-width spaces, the drawn
hyphen, push-in, and a Devanagari syllable when a Devanagari face is
installed.
A linear, radial, conic or diamond gradient has a spread: Pad (the
default, as before), Repeat or Reflect, with a count of 1 to 100
(VectorCraft's own limit). Repeat and Reflect run the stops that many
times along the vector (around the turn for a conic) and keep going past
both ends, Reflect running every other run backwards, as SVG's
spreadMethod does.
The Gradient panel has a Spread menu and a Repeats field, and the
Gradient tool marks where the runs meet. paint.setFill and
paint.editGradient take `spread` and `repeats`; bad values are errors.
Presets, swatches, blends, strokes along or across a path, Outline
Stroke and Object › Expand follow the spread; Expand gives each run the
same whole number of objects, and Outline Stroke's mesh keeps the color
on each side of a sharp step between two stops at one offset.
SVG writes and reads spreadMethod: SVG import now reads a repeating or
reflecting gradient as one that repeats or reflects once, instead of
expanding its stops over the shape. CSS writes repeating gradients.
PDF writes a conic's sweep shading over one run. PDF, EPS, legacy .ai
and the .ai editing data write the other kinds with their stops
repeated across the shape: at most 256 runs and 16,384 stops (256 stops
in .ai files), and for a radial or diamond no farther than 65,536 runs
from its center, with a warning past those. PDF import now finds sharp
steps in any axial or radial shading instead of blurring them.

egui spreads a wheel notch over the next frames. When a number field took
a notch and the pointer then left the field, the rest of that notch
scrolled the panel under the pointer, or a panel drawn before the field.
- A begin-pass plugin (`WheelTailPlugin`) keeps, per viewport, how much of
the notches number fields took egui has not let out yet, and takes what
egui lets out of them out of each pass's scrolling before any panel
scrolls.
- It reads each pass's wheel events in order with egui's touch rules
(start, end, cancel, and the timeout of a touch that never ends), so a
turn inside a touch, or one ended in the same pass, leaves nothing owed.
- A turn the other way on the panel while the rest runs out scrolls the
panel by its whole size.
Review feedback: with no tolerance, pen or trackpad jitter turned a tap
into a drag and the value was no longer selected. A release within 1 pt
of the press is a tap; anything further keeps the caret.

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.
object.objectsOnPath.selectMember and object.objectsOnPath.moveMember
change only the document and its selection, as the other Objects on
Path commands do, so both join the commands a plug-in may call when its
manifest lists them.
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.
A text on a path that many <use> elements show was laid out along the
whole path once per <use>, and the path was found in the file and parsed
again each time, while the 1 MiB limit on texts built for <use> elements
counted only the text's nodes and characters. A file with a short text on
a very long path and many <use> elements of it could keep the importer
busy far past that limit.
- The elements of the path a <textPath> follows now count toward the
limit. Past it, the remaining <use> elements show the text with its own
properties, and the warning names text paths as well as text.
- The path of each <textPath> is found and parsed once and shared by
every <use> that shows its text.
Files within the limit import as before.
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_menu_bar_is_inert_while_a_file_dialog_is_open` excused a missing
menu row when the composite font or plug-in it named was gone at the
time of the check. A test running alongside can remove such a font and
define it again between the menu read and the check, and the test then
failed. It now runs inside `undisturbed`, as the file's other tests that
compare menu reads do. When the shortcut, plug-in or font generation
changes during a run, the test runs again on a new app. Every row from
before the dialog must then be back as it was.
