path.reshape refused focal with radius only when focal named an anchor.
Since an empty focal list chooses the focal-point rule, a call with
"focal": [] and a radius was accepted and used the radius falloff,
although the params text and docs/mcp.md say the two cannot be used
together. Any focal other than null now goes with radius as an error.
After an aligned Remove Item or Duplicate Item, the active row was
re-pointed by the indices of the first object in paint order. When the
first selected object paints above the others, its own rows that changed
are different ones, so the active row could be dropped or land on the
wrong row, and a later paint edit changed that row instead.
The active row now follows the rows removed or copied in the first
selected object's own stack.
Follows #5591.
In horizontal type, tracking and manual kerning are now thousandths of
the em as the Horizontal Scale draws it: at 50%, a tracking of 100 adds
0.05 em after each character. They were added at the full em while the
glyph advances took the scale, so narrow tracked type drifted from the
page of users' .ai files letter by letter. That page writes such type's
character spacing as the tracking itself in a text space as wide as the
scale, which PDF scales by it (ISO 32000-1 9.4.4). Vertical type keeps
the full em: its advances down the column don't all take the scale.
vectorcraft_text::spacing_scale gives the factor. Shaping, inline
graphics and the Optical pairs use it, and so do the conversions from
points back to thousandths of an em: the automatic kerning the Character
panel reads and Touch Type's limits (glyph_em), Combine Point Text, and
PDF import, whose tracking is now the file's Tc. Scale Text Attributes
now keeps tracked type where a horizontal stretch drew it.
SVG export writes letter-spacing in thousandths of the font size it
writes (the vertical scale), so uniformly scaled type keeps its spacing
in a viewer.
Type with both a Horizontal Scale other than 100% and tracking or manual
kerning lays out differently than before, in every document.

- PDF/X-1a, PDF/X-3 and PDF 1.3 files leave the layers they don't print
out of the flattening. A flattened group no longer takes the place of
art in a layer that doesn't print, so the art of a clipping layer over
such a layer prints, and art of a layer that doesn't print stays out
of the file.
- A flattened group goes into a lower layer only when that layer prints,
shows and is a template as the clipping layer does, the clipping layer
and the groups it leaves have no opacity, blend mode or isolation, and
the clipping path has no fill. Otherwise the group holds only the art
inside the clipping layer, drawn over the clipping path's fill and the
art below, and the art below is flattened on its own. Before, the fill
covered the group, the group lost the layer's opacity, or the clipping
path cut the art below.
- Transparent art that a clipping path hides entirely, such as one of
area type holding only a space, is removed. Before, the export failed
because the art kept its transparency.
Object › Flatten Transparency follows the same rules. Documents without
clipping layers or layers that don't print export the same bytes as
before.
Expand Appearance on a symbol instance with a fill tint and a color
adjustment applied the adjustment to the untinted art, so the expanded
colors differed from the canvas. The expand path now passes the tinted
instance art to adjust_in_document.
A selected segment that path.insertAnchor splits stays selected as its
two halves. The new anchor is the end both halves share, so it moves
with them, and Delete cuts both halves. docs/mcp.md and the comment on
renumber_after_insert called it a direct-selected anchor; they now
describe it as an end of the halves that moves with them.
Break Link to Symbol on an instance just placed on a locked artboard
selected nothing: the art that replaced the instance has a new id, so the
locked-artboard check did not see it as new art. The art of an instance
that was new art is now checked without the locked artboards, and the
session keeps it selected as new art. The art of an older instance on a
locked artboard, named by id, is still left out of the selection.
Before the Reshape tool had focal points it sent path.reshape without
focal or radius, and the command stretched an open path from the grabbed
point to its ends whatever the selection, and moved the anchors of a
closed path within half the diagonal of its bounding box with a
falloff. Such a step, in a saved action or a script, now moved a closed
path whole. A step without focal (or with focal null) and without
radius now plays by that earlier rule. The Reshape tool always sends
focal, an empty list included, so its drags keep the focal-point rule.
On a vertical path, an upright glyph is now placed in its column as
vertical point type places it, then the column is centered on the path.
- Its cell starts at its place on the path; it started 0.12 em earlier
with fonts whose cell top is less than a full cell above the baseline.
- A baseline shift moves it across the column instead of along the path.
- A horizontal scale widens it evenly about the column's center.
- A combining mark stays on its upright letter.
- The caret and the selection highlight span the column, half its em on
each side of the path, instead of the font's ascent and descent.
With Skew, 3D Ribbon and Stair Step on a path that runs to the left,
letters are a quarter turn counterclockwise from upright glyphs: Skew and
3D Ribbon mirror both kinds there, and Stair Step keeps letters level. The
test, the progress doc and the params text of Tate-chu-yoko Settings now
state these conditions and the block's directions on a path.
path.insertAnchor (the Add Anchor Point tool, the Pen's Auto Add, the
Smart Pen's Alt-click on a segment and Alt-click with the Scissors)
added the anchor without changing the selection, so the direct-selected
anchors and selected segments after it on the subpath kept their old
numbers and the selection shifted onto the next points along. It now
renumbers them with renumber_after_insert, the helper path.reshape
uses. A selected segment that the new anchor splits stays selected as
its two halves, and the new anchor is direct-selected with them. Undo
restores the path and the selection in one step.

Before a script runs, `script.run` reads its preprocessor lines (`#` or
`//@` at the start of a line, outside strings and comments):
- `#include` and `//@include` put another file's text in place of the
line, looked for beside the including file, then in each
`#includepath` folder, then in each `JSINCLUDE` folder. A later
`#includepath` replaces the list.
- `#script` names the run unless `name` is given; `#target` takes any
value; `#strict off` is taken. `#strict on`, `#targetengine` and
`#engine` are refused as unsupported, and any other `#name` as
unknown.
`$.evalFile(path, timeout?)` runs a file in the same global environment
and returns its last value, `$.fileName` is the file being run and
`$.includePath` the include folders.
A script run from a file reads these files only in its folder and the
folders below it. Paths with a `..` name, links or junctions that lead
out, device names, streams and network paths are refused; a script
given as text reads none. A run reads at most 64 files 16 levels deep,
32 MiB of source in all and 1,024 paths looked up. An error in an
included or evaluated file is reported at that file's line and column,
and the report's new `file` field names it.

A linear dimension clicked from an anchor to a point that is not an
anchor (a point on a segment, or a point a Smart Guide gave) followed
the art at the anchor end only, so scaling the art turned it into a
long slanted dimension.
- A point on a segment is stored by its curve parameter on that
segment, and stays on it when the segment's anchors or handles are
edited.
- Any other point is stored against anchors (and, for a path whose
anchors lie on one line, handles) of the path under it, or of the
path at the other end, and moves, scales, turns and reflects with
that path. Beside a path whose anchors and handles all lie on one
line, such as a straight line, it keeps its distance along and
across the path: a reflection moves it as a half turn does, and a
scale that is not uniform moves it as a uniform scale does.
- When linked art is reflected, a linear dimension's line goes to the
reflected side, except for art whose anchors and handles lie on one
line.
- Deleting the art, changing its anchor count or whether it is closed,
turning an angle's arm into a curve, or making a measured circle or
arc no longer circular leaves the dimension where it was, no longer
linked, instead of removing it. Undo links it again.
Docs: docs/dimensions.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Break Link to Symbol on a selected group selected the art of every
instance it expanded that was itself shown and unlocked, including art in
a hidden or locked group inside the selection. The art now goes into the
selection only when it and every group and layer holding it are shown and
unlocked, the check Select All uses (select::is_selectable).
A PDF, an EPS or .ai without ruler units, a raster image, a metafile, an
Affinity file or an importer plug-in's document opened (and reverted) in
points whatever the General unit was. They now open in the General unit,
as the reference app opens files that record no unit. Native, SVG and DXF
files and a .ai or EPS with %AI5_RulerUnits keep their own units. Only the
displayed units change, not the art.
A click with the Reshape tool on an anchor of a selected path makes it
the focal point, and a click on a segment adds an anchor there that
becomes the focal point. Shift-click adds an anchor or a point on a
segment to the focal points, or removes an anchor that is one already.
Each focal point shows a filled anchor square in a larger hollow one.
A drag from a focal point moves all of them; a drag from another point
moves that point alone, and Shift only keeps the drag's angle.
path.reshape takes the other focal points as focal: [[subpath,
anchor]...]. Anchors that are not direct-selected stay in place, and so
do the ends of an open path unless they are focal points. A selected
anchor between two focal points moves by the whole drag, and one
between a focal point and an anchor that stays takes u² (3 - 2u) of
the drag, as before. A closed subpath with every anchor selected moves
whole: a Reshape drag on a fully selected closed path, and path.reshape
without radius on a closed path selected whole or not selected, move
the whole path instead of a local area. With radius, only the grabbed
point's subpath changes, with the falloff as before.
- An anchor added on a segment of a partly selected path is selected,
and the selected anchors and segments after it keep their points.
- A focal pair that names no anchor is refused ("`focal` names [0, 7],
which is not an anchor of the path"), and so is focal with radius.

Break Link to Symbol on a selected group, and Delete Symbol with its
instances expanded, turned a hidden or locked instance into visible,
unlocked art. The art now keeps the instance's hidden and locked state,
as Object > Expand does, and Break Link leaves hidden or locked art out of
the selection.
Each artboard can carry a guide label: one of the layer colors or a
custom RGB. Guides that belong to an artboard draw in its label color,
and guides without an artboard, or on an artboard without a label, keep
the guide color from the preferences. Selected guides still draw in the
selection color.
- Artboard Options has a Guide Label row (None, the layer colors with
swatches, or Custom with a color swatch).
- artboard.new and artboard.setProps take guideLabel: null, a layer
color's name, or #rrggbb. Any other value is an error. The inspect
summary lists guideLabel when one is set.
- The native format saves the label and skips it when unset; a preset
index outside the layer colors reads as no label.
- artboard.setProps no longer adds an undo step when nothing changes.

Part of #6435. An optional VectorCraft feature: the Preferences dialog's
Export Preferences... saves the applied preferences to a JSON file (the
web build downloads it), and Import Preferences... applies such a file and
shows the imported values. They run the new commands prefs.export {path?}
and prefs.import {path | data}.
The file holds every preference prefs.list lists and the eyedropper,
perspectiveWidget, pathfinder and glyphSnap groups, without the four
folder preferences and saved presets. prefs.import reads at most 1 MB and
checks every value first: another format, a newer version, an unknown
preference, a bad value or a folder preference is an error, and nothing
changes. It keeps the open document's units, records no undo step, and is
refused as a command.batch step. prefs.set now rejects a group value that
is not an object.
