A plug-in of the wrong kind now gets "is a plug-in of kind `exporter`, not an importer", with rows in every complete-message catalog. The importer failure test also covers an open, edited document. docs/plugins.md states that Open Recent does not remember Open With's importer or parameters.
A cache keyed by registry::revision could read the new revision before
the plug-in was in the set and keep the old list under it, so File > Open
and document.formats left out a newly installed importer until the next
install or removal. The revision now changes while install holds the
write lock, and a reader that sees it waits for the set.
Export As listed every plug-in format, so an importer appeared there and
picking it ended in an error that its files can be opened but not written.
The list now takes only plug-in formats that write. document.formats still
lists importers.
The importer parameters test used the same plug-in id as an exporter test
in the same process. It has an id of its own.
File › Open With reads a picked file on the thread File › Open uses, with the importer and its parameters, so a slow importer does not freeze the window. A call that names path still gets document.open's result. Cancel in the progress window now raises a cancel token on that thread, which stops a running importer between two slices of its budget.
An importer may declare an extension that File › Open handles another
way: a plug-in, shortcut set, script, preset, library or swatch library
such as .ase, or one a built-in format reads. "All readable files" and
the importer's own filter no longer list those extensions, and an
importer with none left gets no filter. Open With still opens them.
New from Template, Load Character/Paragraph/All Styles, Recolor's Other
Library… and the library panels' Other Library… read files with the
built-in readers, so their open dialogs now use builtin_open_filters(),
which leaves out the extensions only importer plug-ins read. File › Open
keeps open_filters() with the importers' files.
The artboard of a document an importer opens is now kept within
±4,000,000 pt. Art at the edge (a zero-width path at x = 4,000,000, or a
stroke past the edge) gave an artboard beyond it, and every later edit
of the document was rejected.
File › Open With asks for the parameters of an importer that declares
any, at their defaults, once the file is picked (dialog `pluginImport`),
and opens the file with the values set. `file.openWith`, `app.open` and
MCP's `open_file` take `params` and pass them to the importer;
`app.open` without them runs the importer on their defaults, with no
dialog. A file opened with Open With is added to Open Recent, as File ›
Open adds the files it opens.
open_file passes `importer` (an importer plug-in's format id,
plugin.<id>) on to app.open. Headless, it becomes document.open's
`importer`; in the app, app.open with `importer` runs file.openWith, so
the file opens with that importer as File > Open With does, also when a
built-in format reads its extension.
An importer plug-in (kind "importer", permission import.read) lists 1 to 8
file extensions and turns a file's bytes into objects, which open as a new
document whose artboard is their bounds. File › Open lists its extensions,
File › Open With (file.openWith) opens a file with a chosen importer, and
document.open takes importer and params. A built-in format that reads the
file by its content or extension always opens it; among importers listing
the same extension, the one whose id sorts first opens it. An importer reads
at most 128 MiB, and Place still reads only the built-in formats.

wasmi pauses a run before an instruction the store's fuel can't pay for
and charges nothing for it. A memory.fill or memory.copy is charged for
its whole length, so a pause can leave up to that cost in the store.
Plugin::call replaced the store's fuel with the next slice and compared
the instruction's cost with the rest of the budget alone, so a run whose
budget covered its work could end with Limit("instruction budget").
Each pause now tops the store up to the slice size, keeping what it
held, and ends the run only when the store's fuel and the rest of the
budget together can't pay for the next instruction.
A Scatter brush in a .ai or EPS file's editing data always came into
the Brushes panel keeping its art's colors. A Scatter brush whose last
15 numbers start with 1 now opens in Tints, and one whose numbers start
with 0 keeps its art's colors. Other values are not read and keep the
art's colors. The field before the art's name does not decide it: an
object whose first field is 1 is read by its 15 numbers, and a Scatter
object with 8 numbers is still left out.
A brush's art usually comes in a group after its frame, an unpainted
rectangle around the art. The reader kept that rectangle as part of
the brush's art. It now leaves out a frame at the art's bounds (within
1/1000 pt): an unnamed, unpainted rectangle with its four corners in
order, closed, or open with its first corner again at the end, and no
settings of its own (shown, unlocked, at full opacity in Normal, with
no effects, note or other attributes). A wider frame stays in the art,
and so do a path that crosses the corners, an open path along three
sides and a rectangle with settings of its own. A group left with one
object becomes that object, unless it has a state or look of its own
(hidden, locked, isolated, knockout, an opacity, a blend mode, a name,
a mask, a note or another setting, or an appearance); then it stays a
group without the frame. The rule applies to every brush art section.
Existing files with such brushes now open with Tints and without the
extra frame path in the brush's art. With an exact frame, the pieces
that a Scatter or Art brush draws along a path stay where they were.
The Scatter, Art and Pattern brush colorization options, Tints among
them, are described on pages 281-282 of
https://web.archive.org/web/20210601162814/https://helpx.adobe.com/pdf/illustrator_reference.pdf#page=281
Tests cover Scatter brushes whose numbers start with 1 and 0, with a
first field of 1 and 2, and an 8-number object. They cover frames kept
or left out (exact, wider, open, filled, named, crossing the corners,
along three sides, with a note, Show Center or hidden), a group's own
state and note kept, and the pieces a Scatter and an Art brush draw
along a path with and without the frame. The import fuzz test reads
brush art after frames of any corners and paint.
The Generic CMYK solver clamps each ink to 0..1 after a step. When an
ink sits at 0 or 1 and the step pushes it further out, the clamp
removes most of the step, and the solve can stop after a step under
1e-6. Where it stopped depended on the input's last float bits. For hex
ed1e79, magenta ranged from 93.2% to 93.9% and yellow from 15.3% to
16.3% over 4,001 f32 values of its red, with 230 jumps over 0.001
between neighboring values.
An ink at 0 or 1 whose descent direction points out of the range now
stays where it is, and the step moves the other inks. The solve stops
when every ink is held. Two new tests step a channel one f32 at a time
and check that every ink stays within 0.001: the red of ed1e79 (cyan
held at 0) and the blue of sRGB (0, 0, 0.25) (cyan and magenta held at
1).
The solver still minimizes plain Lab distance to the gamut-mapped
target. The CMYK values of many RGB colors change; hex 00ff00 now
separates to C=61 M=0 Y=100 K=0 (cyan 0.6235 before, 0.6064 now), and
the swatch test that pins its name is updated.
New Workspace, Manage Workspaces, New Toolbar and Manage Toolbars put
their OK and Cancel row in a right-to-left layout directly in the modal
window. That layout took all the height left in the window's default
420 pt content area and centered the buttons in it, so each dialog
opened 420 pt tall with the buttons floating in an empty band.
The button row is now as wide as the fields above it and as tall as the
buttons, as the shared dialog shell already does (dialogs.rs), so each
window ends just below its buttons.
A grants.json entry this version can't use (a permission it doesn't know,
an invalid id) is now skipped on its own instead of dropping every grant in
the file, and recording or removing a grant writes it back unchanged,
except an entry for that plug-in. A grants.json that is too large, can't be
read or is not a JSON list is left as it is, and a rewrite that would pass
the 1 MiB read limit is written compactly, or not at all.
A module's start function runs before vc_run. When it logged or reported progress and then failed, the run's report came back empty. The report now holds what the start function reported.
The fuzz test for hostile host import arguments drew vc_log's level from every i32, so almost
every call stopped at the level check and never read memory. Levels are now also drawn from -1
to 4. The module docs, a test doc comment and docs/plugins.md now say that with an unknown total
each change of done is passed on.
A plug-in that changed its total while its share stayed the same had
every report passed on, up to the 2,000-report limit. Reports with a
known total are now compared by their tenth of a percent alone.
A plug-in whose manifest gives "api": 2 and lists the new `progress`
permission may import three host functions from module `env`:
vc_progress(done, total), vc_cancelled() -> i32 and
vc_log(level, ptr, len) -> i32. Installing checks every import and
refuses, by name, one the host doesn't offer, one with another type and
one the manifest doesn't allow.
- Progress is clamped and passed on once per tenth of a percent (past
2,000 reports, once per 1,000 changes). A heavy filter's progress
window and the export's progress window show it as a percentage bar,
and their Cancel makes vc_cancelled return 1. A live effect's progress
is not shown.
- A run cancelled before it returns ends as cancelled, and one that
returns after its time budget ran out ends at that budget, so what a
plug-in returns after it sees vc_cancelled changes nothing. This also
applies to a plug-in of API level 1 that finishes after a Cancel or
past its time budget.
- Log text must lie in the module's memory and be UTF-8. Lines go to the
app's log as "<id>: <text>" with hidden characters escaped, at most
1,024 characters a line, 200 lines and 32 KiB a run, and the host reads
at most 1 MiB of log text a run.
- plugin.list and plugin.info give the manifest's `api`; the install
prompt names the new permission in plain words.

The legacy reader skipped `bindrepeat Tg` (section 15.3.4 of the version 7
file format specification). It now reads the binding punctuation bit:
1 and 3 set the paragraph's Burasagari to Force, and 0 and 2 set it to
none, which is VectorCraft's own mapping. The value is modal, lasts into
the next text object, and an operand other than 0 to 3 leaves it as it
was. The repeat character, `TG`, `Xu` and `Tu` are still skipped.
docs/mcp.md and the `ParaStyle::burasagari` doc comment name the legacy
`.ai` case as the exception to imported text keeping `none`.
The Links panel's Relink... button and menu item open a Relink dialog
(ui.relinkDialog) with a Replace menu. Selected Instances relinks the
selected images and placed documents, as Relink did before. All
Instances also relinks every other object in the layers linked to the
same file. Missing Links from This Folder relinks the selection to the
chosen file, then every other missing link to the file of its name in
that file's folder, and the status bar names the files not there. Each
Link Separately asks for a file for each selected link in turn, one OK
each, and relinks them all at the last one: the dialog has one row per
linked file, and each selected embedded image gets a row of its own.
Every choice is one undo step.
links.relink takes scope: selected (default), all, missingInFolder
(with path) or each (with paths: [{ids, path}] in place of ids, path
and folder). A scope or paths that doesn't fit is an error and relinks
nothing. With copy, every file is read and checked before any is
copied, copies made before a failed copy are removed, and
missingInFolder looks for missing images only.

A paint linked to the built-in Registration swatch is no longer relinked
to a new global swatch of the same color, so it keeps printing on every
plate. The same rule applies to New Color Group from artwork with
global swatches.
Add Used Colors, New Color Group from artwork and Select All Unused
looked up each linked paint's swatch by searching every swatch. They now
build one map of swatch names first, with the built-in Registration
swatch, and the first swatch of each name as before.
New tests and test cases: New Color Group from artwork with repeated,
near-equal and -0.0 colors, a Registration link and names that need
numbering, and New Swatch and Edit Color Group with near-equal and
-0.0 colors; each checks the names, their order and one undo step.
New Swatch with several colors, New Color Group and Edit Color Group's
extra colors searched every swatch and group for each candidate name
of each new swatch. They now build the set of taken names once
(FreeSwatchNames, with take_new for New Swatch's default names and
insert for the group name and the group's own swatches) and keep it up
to date as they add swatches. The names they give are unchanged.
swatch.unused grouped the gradients in use by their stop colors and
compared each gradient swatch with every gradient in its group, so
gradients that share stop colors but differ in offsets, midpoints,
opacity, kind, method, dither or links still took quadratic time. Each
gradient now has a key that is equal exactly when the gradients are
equal: kind, method, dither, and each stop's offset, color, opacity,
midpoint, link, tint and process plates. The gradients in use go into
one hash set, and each gradient swatch is looked up in it.
swatch.addUsedColors and swatch.unused searched lists inside loops over
colors and swatches, checking each color against every color or swatch
before it. They now keep the same ordered lists and use hash sets and
maps for membership and lookup. A color's key is its model and the bits
of its components with -0.0 read as 0.0, so the key agrees with `==`; a
color with a NaN component matches nothing, as before.
Add Used Colors names its new swatches through
Document::free_swatch_names, which collects the taken swatch and color
group names once and gives the same names free_swatch_name gives when the
swatches are added one at a time. The added swatches, their names, order
and links, the undo step, and the swatches Select All Unused lists are
unchanged.
A manifest may list `permissions` (doc.read, doc.write, state,
effect.render, export.write) and an `api` level. doc.read, doc.write
and state follow the capability model proposed in
storytold/photocraft#662; the other names are VectorCraft's own. An
unknown, reserved, duplicate or wrong-kind name is refused by name. A
manifest without the key gets the permissions its kind implies and
installs as before.
- Install Plug-in... and File > Open show the name, id, version, file
SHA-256 and each permission in plain words, with control and
bidirectional characters escaped and each string cut to 64
characters. OK installs the module only if it still has the SHA-256
shown; Cancel installs nothing. The heavy-budget prompt and the
status line show the escaped name too, and OK keeps the `replace` it
was given.
- `plugin.install` needs `grant` listing every permission, and
`plugin.inspect` reports `needsApproval`. `hash` pins the module:
one with another SHA-256 is refused. The grant is kept with the
module's hash in the store's `grants.json`, and only that store's
grants count while it is attached; the same set does not ask again,
more permissions do, and `plugin.remove` forgets it.
- The Additional Plug-ins Folder and `plugin.reload` install only
plug-ins the attached store has granted and report the others as
needing approval. At startup the store skips an ungranted plug-in.
- A filter run without doc.read is given no objects; without state it
neither reads nor writes `documentData`; without doc.write an output
that changes the document is refused and the document is unchanged.

An envelope mapped type from its laid-out box: ascent to descent for
point type, the frame for area type. The distorted glyphs then filled
less of the envelope than other art does, with room above the capitals
and below the baseline.
The envelope now maps type from the bounds of its glyph outlines,
underlines and strikethroughs when the type is on its own, in groups
and layers, or used as a clipping path. Inline graphics count by their
boxes. Rotated type and type in perspective map from their outlines as
they are drawn. Make with Mesh,
Make with Top Object and Reset with Mesh without Maintain Shape use
those bounds. Type that draws nothing keeps its laid-out box, and so
does type inside any other object, such as a blend, a repeat or a
symbol instance. Shrink Text to Fit type is measured as it is laid out
on the page.
vectorcraft-text's envelope_ink measures the type, and
register_envelope_ink registers it with the document crate. The engine
session, Renderer::new, live evaluation in vectorcraft-effects and the
.ai reader register it. The document crate keeps the measured boxes per
thread, by object and by a hash of the content, and measures again when
the type, the fonts, the hyphenation exceptions or the transform's
scale or rotation change.
This is VectorCraft's own rule. Envelopes of type made in VectorCraft
and in saved files map from the glyph outline bounds instead of the
type's laid-out box, so they redraw differently.
