After Reset Bounding Box on a turned symbol instance, Break Link to
Symbol and Object > Expand gave the art a box turned with the instance's
transform again. The art's boxes now turn with the instance's own box,
so they stand square when the instance's box did, and the angles the
art has inside the symbol are kept relative to it. The group that an
instance's opacity, blending mode or opacity mask adds around the art
takes the instance's box angle instead of standing square to the page.
A reflected instance can hold a box 180 degrees from the box its
transform gives in one step; the art now takes the instance's box
there too, the same rectangle with its handles where the instance had
them.
Compound shapes and Pathfinder receive an instance's art through the
same rule.
The clip groups and clip paths that 9-slice guides make for gradient
and pattern art take the angle of the cell that places them, and the
outer group keeps the object's angle turned by the instance, instead
of standing square to the page. This also changes the result for an
instance that was never reset: a 20 degree sliced instance gave clip
groups at 0 degrees and now gives them at 20.

A command that needs a whole number of 0 or more, such as `index` of
`appearance.setItem`, `anchor` of `path.removeAnchor` and
`addon.pen.removePoint`, `sourceDocument` of `edit.dropSelection`, `index`
of `document.activate` and `to` of `document.move`, answered "missing
integer `index`" (or "missing index") both when the key was left out and
when it was given as a value that is not a whole number of 0 or more, such
as "3", 2.5, -1 or true. A value that is given but is not one is now
refused with "`index` must be a whole number", the message object ids
already use. A key left out or given as null is still missing, and an
optional index such as `subpath` keeps its default. Neither error changes
the document or records an undo step.

A swatch delete, Swatch Options edit, merge, Edit Color Group, Spot
Colors options change or Default Swatches replace run as a
command.batch step left the fill and stroke new art takes linked to the
old or deleted swatch, because the defaults were skipped whenever an
interaction was open. A batch step now rewrites them as the command run
on its own does; a live Swatch Options preview still leaves them alone,
and a failed batch or a canceled batch preview puts them back.
The same commands now also rewrite the fills and strokes of the
appearance new art takes, and record the change with their undo step,
so Undo and Redo put the paints for new art back with the swatches.
- After a fill drag, the Live Paint Bucket stores the release point, so the
cursor swatch preview shows there instead of where the pointer last moved
before the press.
- Arrow nudges and Alt+arrow type spacing read Shift and Alt from the key
press, as the tool keys do, so a modifier released within the same frame
still makes a 10 pt nudge, a copy, or a spacing step.
- tool.setOption accepts cursorSwatchPreview for the Live Paint Bucket and
refuses a value that is not true or false.
A closed freehand stroke is fitted as the open stroke would be and closed by a
straight segment from its end back to its start. Fitted as one loop, the
closing segment curved on past both ends and back, like a hat's brim.
A CSV file that holds NUL bytes and has no byte-order mark was refused.
It is now read as UTF-16 when at least half of its two-byte units hold
a NUL byte, in the byte order that reads a line break. A file with fewer
NUL bytes (UTF-8 or Windows-1252 text with stray NUL bytes, or UTF-16
text made mostly of characters above U+00FF) is still refused, and so is
a file that reads a line break in both byte orders, has an odd length,
isn't valid UTF-16 in that order or holds a NUL character. Refused files
get the same message as before.
A Live Paint Bucket click or drag over faces that already have the
fill, a stroke on an edge that already has the paint and width, Gap
Options with the options the groups have and no gap to close, and Make
or Merge given one Live Paint group alone now leave the document, the
undo and redo steps and the saved state as they are, and reply as
usual. Such a fill or stroke also leaves the recent colors as they are.
Gap Options with Close Gaps With Paths makes a group's faces again only
when it adds a path or what paint stops at changes, so the faces keep
their ids otherwise.
Type > Create Outlines dropped the fills and strokes of the type object
itself (the items around the Appearance panel's Characters row), so the
outlines no longer drew what the type drew. On type without effects of
its own, Object > Expand outlines the type with the same command, so it
lost them before Fill or Stroke could expand them.
- Create Outlines puts those items on paths of the type's whole outline:
the items below the Characters row on one path under the glyph paths,
the others on one path over them, in their order. Unplaced gradients
are fixed to the type's layout box, as the canvas paints them.
- object.expand.info reports the type object's own strokes, pattern
fills and gradient fills, measuring a gradient on the whole outline.
It counts them only when the type has an outline: type of only spaces
reports none of them.
- The stroke flag of object.expand.info counts every stroke Outline
Stroke outlines, not only the topmost one, for paths as well as type.
Expand skipped Stroke for a visible stroke under a stroke with no
paint.
Create Outlines still does not carry over the type object's own effects.

Invert Colors, the Convert to commands, Saturate, Adjust Color Balance,
the Blend commands and Recolor Artwork recorded an undo step even when
they changed no color, for example Invert Colors with fills and strokes
off, Saturate at 0 or a second Blend Front to Back. The empty step also
cleared the redo steps. paint.invert and paint.complement on whole
objects, Apply as Filter (addon.color.filter) and Apply Nearest Swatch
run the same pass and did the same.
These commands now run on a copy of the document and record the step
only when something changed. Convert to Indexed Color uses the same
helper. Recolor Artwork also compares the documents when it counted no
recolored paint, so rewriting a color group's swatches still records
its step.
The check after each edit that the selected objects stay within the
canvas measured the whole of every selected path. Moving one anchor of
a 10,000-anchor path measured all 9,999 segments. A path or compound
path whose anchors and handles are all finite and inside the canvas
range now passes without being measured, because its curves stay inside
their control points. A path with a point outside that range is still
measured, so the check accepts and refuses the same edits as before.
path.moveAnchor to the point the anchor is already at, and
path.setHandle to the point the handle is already at, now leave the
document as it is and record no undo step.
vectorcraft_geom::path::measured_segments counts the segments that
PathData::bounds measures, and the new engine tests use it.
