Window > Brush Libraries > Dry Media (`dry-media`) holds four art brushes:
Chalk Grain, Graphite Pencil, Wax Crayon and Charcoal Dust. Each is 100 pt
of filled vector paths generated from a fixed seed with integer steps and
plain arithmetic, at most 80 paths and 500 anchors, stretched along the
path with Tints colorization. The chalk and crayon art has even-odd gaps
cut out of its band.
The names, sizes and art are VectorCraft's own. A new i18n test checks
that every complete catalog names each built-in brush library.
Window > Brush Libraries > Bristle Brushes holds ten original bristle
brushes generated in code, one for each tip shape: Fine Liner, Pointed
Flat, Stubby Round, Dry Scrub, Soft Dome, Filbert, Angled Round, Angled
Flat, Fan Blender and Grass Fan. Their names and values are VectorCraft's
own, and every value lies inside the range the bristle brush keeps.
A test checks the ranges, that every tip shape is covered, that no name
matches a default brush or another library's brush, that adding the
library is one undo step and a second add adds nothing, and that a saved
library reopens with the same brushes. The library and brush names have
rows in every catalog. docs/mcp.md lists the library.
Save and Save As as EPS always wrote the chosen artboard as the page and
%%BoundingBox, and the EPS Options hid Use Artboards, so art past the
artboard was left outside the file's bounding box.
The EPS Options of Save As now show Use Artboards with All or Range
under it, unchecked by default. Unchecked, Save writes one file whose
bounding box fits all the visible art, as Export does, without the
artboards' background colors; with no visible art the page is the first
artboard, in its color. Checked with two or more chosen artboards, the
file at the path is the central file of the visible art and each
artboard is also written to <name>_<artboard>.eps beside it. Checked
with one, that artboard is the page of the file at the path, the
behavior Save had since #4293 (mockydevs). The file the document becomes
still carries the whole editable document.
Naming artboards with artboard, artboards or range still turns Use
Artboards on. file.formatOptions now reports it on, with those artboards
as the range, and the Save As dialog opens that way.
Changed default: an EPS saved with Save or Save As, an opened EPS
included, now gets a bounding box around its visible art unless Use
Artboards is checked or the save names artboards; an opened EPS saved
back this way loses the margins its page had. selectedOnly stays an
Export option, and Save refuses it.

Headless command_list exposes the desktop UI catalogue with ui: true, docs
clarify effect vs command ids, and prompts cover spelling, variables and path tools.
Merges of main kept both sides of conflicting edits to the milestone
table, so M3, M7, M10, M11 and M13 appeared two to four times, each
copy with a different subset of later edits. Keep one row per
milestone. For M3, M10, M11 and M13 the kept row already contains every
statement in the removed copies. For M7 no copy held them all: the kept
row gains the Hyphenation and Justification clause that only the
second copy carried.
Scripts write to a new Script Console with $.write(...values) and
$.writeln(...values), each value as String(value) gives it. vc.log
entries, a run's uncaught error as name:line:column: message, and a
start, end and report line for each run go there too. The report line
gives the run's time, host calls and slowest commands.
- The console keeps at most 2,048 lines and 1 MiB of text, dropping the
oldest and counting what it dropped. A line is cut at 4,096 bytes and
a script's name at 256 bytes, with a count of cut lines. Line feeds,
carriage returns and CRLF break lines; other control characters show
as Unicode Control Pictures.
- script.run's result and scriptReport gain runTimeMs, timingAvailable,
hostCallCounts, slowestCommands and the run's own console. A failed
run's report has them too.
- script.console and script.console.clear read and empty the console;
ui.copyScriptConsole {first?, last?} copies lines as the panel shows
them.
- The panel lays out only the rows in view, selects with click and
Shift-click, and has Clear, Copy Selected and Copy All. Output goes on
while it is closed, and Clear works during a run.

The custom dictionary's words in a list, with an Entry field and Add, Delete
and Change, applied on Done, as the public Check and correct spelling page
describes it. The menu item moves from the Spelling submenu to the Edit menu,
where the page puts it.
A right-click on type has a Spelling submenu with Auto Spell Check, as the
public Check and correct spelling page describes. A submenu that holds only
toggles shows their check marks, even in the context menu.
File › Scripts › Other Script… picks a .js or .jsx file, shows a warning
that can be turned off in Preferences › General, and runs the script
against the open documents through the `vc` object. The new
`script.run` and `script.stop` commands run and stop a script over MCP.
- A run is one transaction. Each document it changed gets one undo step
named Run Script. An uncaught error, a limit or a stop puts every
document, the paint, the clipboard, menu state and preferences back.
- A command that fails inside a run, or whose result is too large to
reach the script, is undone and throws an error the script can catch.
- Files a command wrote stay on disk and the report names them, also
when the run is stopped from the quit question.
- While a script runs, other commands that change anything fail with a
busy error; MCP reports it as JSON-RPC error -32003.
- In the app the run advances one slice per frame with a Stop button in
the status bar. A run that adds a great many objects asks whether to
continue; Stop and Escape end it.
- Commands that change state outside the documents, such as prefs.*,
plugin.* and file.place.queue, are refused to scripts.

A mark glyph's vertical translation started a new draw_glyphs batch, so
krilla received the cluster's source range again and mapped its
characters twice. Copying or searching the exported PDF then found
doubled letters for Arabic harakat in any font, and for every dotted
letter in fonts that draw dots as zero-advance mark glyphs (Noto Sans,
Naskh and Kufi Arabic).
Keep compatible glyphs on the same layout line in one batch and carry
their relative vertical placement as per-glyph y_offset; horizontal
placement is unchanged (next_x - x advances). Font, size, linear
transform, line/column, paint run, list marker and hyphen boundaries
still split batches. Krilla keeps owning cluster mappings and
ActualText. No importer change.
Regressions decode the content stream and ToUnicode maps: one batch per
layout line, no duplicated cluster assignment, one ActualText per
multi-glyph cluster, contours within 0.05 pt of outline export; mixed
scripts, vertical columns, path rotations and PDF/X variants covered.
The reader round-trip stays an ignored test until the importer consumes
ActualText (#6165).
Addresses #6309.
Editable PDF import derived characters from glyph Unicode/CID mappings
even when the enclosing marked-content sequence supplied /ActualText.
A span that paints "xy" but says "AB", followed by "C", imported "xyC".
Track the outermost replacement owner per span (absent, explicitly
empty, consumed), decode it with the existing PDF text-string decoder,
emit it once at the first placeable glyph, and let the remaining glyphs
of the span advance the pen without phantom character slots or
inferred spaces. Authored stretches keep their logical order while
adjacent ordinary text still goes through visual-to-logical
reconstruction. Glyph identity still drives font matching. Depth and
size are bounded; oversized or unbalanced spans fall back to glyph
mappings with a warning.
Outlines mode and PDF export are unchanged. Parity docs updated,
scores unchanged.
Fixes#6165.
