After a rotation the Selection tool already shows and drags a bounding
box turned with the objects, but the Free Transform tool still used the
page-aligned box. Its handles sat on the wrong corners, a side handle
scaled along the page axes, and Perspective Distort and Free Distort
started from a box that did not match the art.
- The Free Transform tool keeps the selection's turned box for the
drag. Handles, the rotate zone and the move zone are read in its
frame; a handle scales along the selection's own sides from the
opposite handle (or the center with Alt) and snaps as the Selection
tool's does; Cmd/Ctrl on a side handle shears along that side; the
outline, handles and cursors are drawn on the turned box.
- Perspective Distort and Free Distort move the corners of the turned
box. `object.distort` takes `angle?` (degrees): `from`, or the
selection's bounds without it, is then a box in the frame turned by
that angle. Upright boxes send the same params as before.
- The Scale and Reflect tools, their dialogs and commands, and the
Transform panel's flips keep the page's axes.

A new Type preference, Show samples on white (`fontSamplesOnWhite`, off
by default), draws each family's sample in every font menu, and in
Type → Font in the in-window menu bar, in the Light brightness's text
color on a white area, in every interface brightness. A row's white
area is drawn while its sample is still rendering, and leaves 2 pt above
and below it where a highlighted row's color shows. The family names and
the rest of the menu keep the interface's colors. Preferences dims the
checkbox while Enable in-menu font previews is off.

The Drawing tools row in docs/target-app-parity.md now names the
measurement readout that the Pen, Smart Pen and Curvature tool show
with the rubber band off. The score, gaps and hours are unchanged.
The Paragraph panel's Mojikumi Set lists None, YakumonoHankaku,
GyomatsuYakumonoHankaku, GyomatsuYakumonoZenkaku and YakumonoZenkaku,
then Line-end Punctuation Half Width, and text.setFormat {mojikumi}
takes yakumonoHankaku, gyomatsuYakumonoHankaku, gyomatsuYakumonoZenkaku
and yakumonoZenkaku besides none and lineEndHalf.
The spacing of each set is VectorCraft's own rule, built on the help
page's one-line description of each set:
- YakumonoHankaku sets every bracket, comma and full stop half width,
takes a quarter em off each side of a middle dot, and puts a quarter
em between Japanese and Latin letters or digits.
- GyomatsuYakumonoHankaku keeps punctuation full width inside a line,
sets an opening bracket starting a line flush and a closing mark
ending it half width, and takes the quarter em after a middle dot
ending a line off.
- GyomatsuYakumonoZenkaku keeps punctuation full width and adds the
quarter em between Japanese and Latin text.
- YakumonoZenkaku sets characters as None does.
Both composers and vertical type measure each line as it is set. A
right-to-left paragraph, whose line ends are measured untrimmed, also
draws them untrimmed, and a right-to-left line that ends between a
Japanese and a Latin character is measured without the quarter em the
set adds there. With a Desired glyph scaling other than 100%, the
space a set takes off before an opening bracket or middle dot, and the
Japanese-Latin space recorded at a line's end, scale with the glyph.
The sets save with the document and paragraph styles; new type and
Reset Panel keep Line-end Punctuation Half Width. SVG export lays type
with middle dots out again for its positioned spans. A .ai save
reports a paragraph with one of the new sets as left out.

The Layers panel's trash button, rows dropped on it, the panel menu's
Delete Selection, and Delete or Backspace on highlighted rows now run
ui.layerDelete. When a layer or sublayer among the rows holds art
(hidden, locked and nested objects count; guides do not), a confirm
dialog asks first. OK deletes the rows it asked about, by id, in the
document it was asked in, as one undo step; Cancel keeps them. Empty
layers, guide-only layers and object or group rows alone are deleted at
once. layer.delete itself is unchanged and never asks.
The series fill and stroke and the label fill and stroke a graph keeps
for its next redraw are now in the paint traversal, so Delete Pattern
and canceling a new pattern make them no paint and a Pattern Options
rename renames them. Before, a later graph.setData drew the paint of a
missing pattern again. Global swatch edits reach the same paints.
The progress-doc line now says that only canceling a new pattern clears
its paints; canceling the edit of an existing pattern puts the
definition, and after a rename the old name, back.
Enable Rubber Band now hides only the preview segment in the Pen, the
Curvature tool and the Smart Pen. With it off and Measurement Labels on,
the three tools still show the D / Angle / dX / dY readout at the pointer
while a path is drawn, and the Curvature tool also shows it when
going on from the current end of a selected path. With Measurement Labels
off, no readout shows either way. The click places the same anchor as
before.

effect.apply, appearance.addEffect and effect.setParams checked an effect
parameter's type only when the effect has a dialog default for the key. Keys
that only the params text names were stored as given: an Outline Stroke with
`width: "10 pt"` drew at the stroke's own weight, and a Gaussian Blur with
`linear: 1` blurred in linear light.
- The earlier 3D `perspective`, `lightAzimuth` and `lightElevation`,
Scribble's `variation` and Outline Stroke's `width` must be numbers, and
Gaussian Blur's `linear` must be true or false. A test walks every effect
so a new key without a default needs a listed type or a check of its own.
- The `style` of Crop Marks must be `roman` or `japanese`, and `null` is
refused. Any other value drew as Roman.
- An installed plug-in effect's parameters are checked against its manifest
when the command runs, as plugin.run already checks the effect records a
filter returns.
- effect.setParams with `warpStyle` checks the parameters against the new
Warp style's effect, as it already did for a 3D effect's new
`threeDType`. It checked them against the old style.
- effect.setParams refuses a `visible` that is not true or false, such as
`1` or `"false"`, when called and when a step plays, and nothing changes.
Before, the value was ignored and the rest of the call applied. `null`
still leaves the visibility as it is.
A step of command.batch is refused the same way. A replayed journal or
action still plays a wrongly typed effect parameter, as it plays a key the
effect no longer takes.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The refusals of Extrude & Bevel, Revolve, Inflate, Rotate and their
Classic forms (art a 3D effect can't build a solid from, invalid
light, shadow, graphics and surface settings, and Expand as Wireframes
notes) now have an @msg row in every complete-message catalog, as do
the effect names and object kinds the messages name, so the status bar
shows them in the interface language. Parameter keys, numbers and
names keep their English form; command replies stay English.
A value a message quotes in "...", curly quotes or backticks, such as a
symbol's name, is shown as written instead of being looked up as a
message of its own.
File > Open and File > Place read QuickDraw pictures, versions 1 and 2,
from .pct, .pic and .pict files, with or without the file's 512 bytes
of application data; a version 2 picture also opens by its content.
The reader plays the opcodes of Apple's Opcodes in Pictures table on
the metafile player: lines, rectangles, rounded rectangles, ovals,
arcs, polygons and regions become paths, text becomes point type in
the font the picture names, bitmaps, pixel maps and QuickTime JPEG
images become images, and the clip region clips what follows it.
Place puts the picture in one group clipped to its frame. What isn't
read comes back as warnings, and a picture cut short keeps what came
before it. PICT is not written.
Images whose transform flattens them no longer leave their pixel data
in the document. Formats whose signature starts the file are detected
before PICT, which is known by bytes 522 or 10.

Version 4 marks sets with Select Object steps, so a build that reads
version 4 but has no select.storedPath accepted a Select Path set and
failed at the step during playback. Sets with Select Path steps now
save as version 5, Load Actions reads versions 1 to 5, and docs/mcp.md
and the file header say so.
A print to a file and the print preview list their notes as saves and
exports do since #6920: what the job leaves out of the document or prints
differently first (art outside the imageable area, type in a fallback
font, transparency flattened for PostScript), then the notes on the
options (halftone screens and a fixed flatness that aren't written, copies
per sheet that don't fit, a printer profile left out, ink options that
name no ink). Each kind keeps the order it is given in.
The print layout, the PDF print and the PDF print plan return the notes
on the options in `setting_notes` beside `warnings`, as `ExportReport`
does. The status message after a print to a file names the first note,
so a fixed flatness no longer hides type printed in a fallback font.
Space held while dragging out a new anchor already moved it, handles and
all, but the closing drag skipped it, so the closing anchor could not be
repositioned. The closing drag now moves the first anchor by as far as the
pointer moves while Space is held, its handles with it, and the drag
shapes the handles round the new place once Space is released.
path.close takes `at: [x, y]`, which moves the first anchor, its handles
with it, before `in` and `out` are placed. docs/mcp.md and the Pen line
in docs/target-app-parity.md describe it.
- A fill or stroke at an opacity of 0 no longer counts as painting its
pattern, so Find, selection-only Change and Print leave that pattern's
type out.
- Text whose inline graphics draw a symbol shows that symbol's type: Find
selects it, and selection-only Change and the font list reach the type
through it, also through a pattern whose art holds such text.
- Refresh Font List lays out again the type in opacity masks and in the
art of symbols and patterns, and inline graphics, on the layers and in
that art, take the new size of their symbols' art.
