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).
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.

The sweeps in command_sweep.rs kept their own list of file and folder
keys (path, diffPath, folder, destinationFolder) in testkit's
safe_value and again in the temp-folder test, so a command whose file
key was not on the list was sent raw junk strings, and a key written as
`{path | name ...}` (document.open) was never swept.
- The engine exports the plug-in call rules' file keys as
`cmd::key_location`, `cmd::location_in` and `cmd::location_keys`,
which read every key a params description names, the keys of the
commands its `...` entries name, and the schema. `diffPath` is a file
key, so a plug-in call that carries it is refused; Slice Options'
`url` and Export for Screens' `folders` name part of the document, so
a call to object.slice.options with a top-level `url` is accepted.
- testkit's `param_keys` reads the keys the engine reads, and
`junk_params_for_command` and `safe_value_for_command` send every
string under a file or folder key, in arrays and in objects inside
them, as a location in the sweep's temp folder. Each such key also
gets a list of paths and a list of `{ids, path}` objects.
- Every catalog sweep, the serializability sweep included, uses them,
and the temp-folder test checks every key the catalog names, at any
depth.
Type and live objects in the art of a linked opacity mask are outlined
and evaluated before a group's or layer's geometry effects run over it,
so the mask moves and bends with the art it masks. Before, the effects
reached only the paths in a mask's art.
- With Scale Strokes & Effects on, a Transform effect scales the strokes
of an image's or symbol instance's linked mask as it scales those of a
path's mask.
- A mask's art takes Transform copies in the form it had before the
first effect, as the art it masks does.
- A linked mask whose art is one image or symbol instance takes a
Transform effect's move and copies with the art it masks. Under any
other geometry effect, which images and symbol instances do not take,
art whose masks hold one keeps its shape.
- A symbol instance in perspective projects the linked masks in its art
with that art.
- A live-effect plug-in that paints its pieces leaves art with linked
masks as it is, since a mask can't take the pieces.
Docs: the docs/target-app-parity.md line moves next to the Transparency
entry and lists the cases where existing documents draw differently.
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 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.

Type in a font found by name with a predefined non-Unicode CMap, such as
`/Ryumin-Light-83pv-RKSJ-H findfont` or a `composefont` with `GBK-EUC-H`,
opened as Latin-1 letters (`ú{A` for 日本A) in a font whose style carried
the CMap name (`Light-83pv-RKSJ-H`). Only Unicode CMaps were split off the
font name, and `composefont` failed with `undefinedresource` for the others.
- The predefined CMap decoder used by legacy `.ai` type moves to
`import/predefined_cmap.rs`, and EPS import decodes these CMaps' codes
with it (Shift-JIS, EUC, GBK, Big Five, UHC and the other public CMaps).
- A font name splits at a predefined CMap unless an installed face has
the whole name. A CMap that can't be read gives a warning.
- Type over a vertical CMap (`-V`) is set as vertical type, and each code
moves the point one em down the column, the default `DW2`
displacement.
- Every show operator sets decoded type with the same spacing and shaping
as other fonts found by name.
- Decoding a string counts against the import's memory budget.
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.
Opening or placing an image whose orientation turns it a quarter
(EXIF or TIFF Orientation 5 to 8) stored the pixels turned but kept
the resolution as stored, so a photo at 300 x 150 ppi came in at the
wrong width and height. XResolution counts pixels in the ImageWidth
direction of the stored image (TIFF 6.0,
https://www.itu.int/itudoc/itu-t/com16/tiff-fx/docs/tiff6.pdf; EXIF
uses the same tag, CIPA DC-008-2012,
https://www.cipa.jp/std/documents/e/DC-008-2012_E.pdf), so a quarter
turn now swaps the axes, in the size Open and Place use and in the
stored image, with jxlread::oriented_resolution as JPEG XL does.
Three kinds of TIFF did not follow their Orientation tag:
- grayscale TIFFs with extra samples and 1-bit CCITT Group 3 TIFFs
were not turned;
- a CMYK TIFF with its inks together was turned but stored as RGB,
losing its inks, and one with a plane per ink did not open
("Planar TIFF with CMYK color type is not supported").
They now turn as the other images do, and a CMYK TIFF keeps its inks,
8 bits each, written again with the turned resolution.
