Each definition's reader started with fresh blend layout and envelope
check budgets, so a file with many symbols, patterns or brush art
sections got those limits again for every definition. The reader of a
definition now takes the import's remaining budgets and hands back what
is left after reading, whether the definition is kept or not.
With the Artboard tool, the Properties panel now starts with a Transform
section: the reference point shared with the Transform panel and the
Control bar, the active artboard's X and Y (of that point), W and H with
the Constrain Width and Height Proportions link, its preset and
orientation, and Move and Scale Artwork with Artboard. The Artboards
section follows with the name, Artboard Options and Fill. A new W or H
now keeps the reference point in place, as in the Transform panel.
The Control bar's Stroke: and Opacity: and the Properties panel's Stroke
are links to their panels, so a drag on them did nothing while every
other field label scrubbed its field. A drag on such a link now scrubs
the field after it (same steps and modifiers, one undo step, Escape
cancels); a click still opens the panel, and the link's text is not
selected by the drag.
Loading a variable library deleted every variable of the document with its
bindings, including a text variable of the same name that the library
declares. Text made dynamic and then given a library's variable name lost its
binding, so selecting the library's data sets changed nothing. Such a
variable now stays bound, and the library's data sets change its text; other
variables are deleted as before.
Inner Glow clipped to the art's outline and bled in from outside it; for a
placed image that outline is the frame, so a PNG with transparent areas
glowed along the frame's edge, over pixels that don't show. For an image the
glow is now cast by its pixels' alpha (everything around them, blurred, or
the pixels themselves with Center) and kept to where the image shows, as
much as it shows.
One selected radial, grid or mirror repeat (or one object of its source
art in isolation mode) shows a Repeat Options button in the Properties
panel's Quick Actions. It runs Object › Repeat › Options, opening the
Repeat Options dialog with the repeat's current values.
The area an Intertwine member is drawn over another in was exactly the
overlap face, so its edge lay on the edge of the member below. Both edges
were anti-aliased, and the member below showed through as a thin line along
them. The area now reaches 2 pt past the face into the parts where only the
raised member paints (where drawing it again changes nothing), so its edge
lies inside that member.
From about 50% zoom on the file of #4155, the pixels drawn are the full 141-megapixel photo,
and in a CMYK document they were separated into ink planes (or colorized, or proofed) whole
for every view: 8 to 9 s of white canvas a zoom step.
When the pixels drawn are larger than a 1,024-pixel tile, their colours are made again for the
frame and part of them is out of view, only the tiles in view are made, each kept under its own
key (`ImageKey::tile`), and drawn together as one pixmap so their edges don't show. The colours
are made pixel by pixel, so the result is the same as for the whole image. CMYK images painting
their own inks are still made whole.
Zooming in to 50%, 100% and 200% on that file went from 9.0, 8.6 and 8.7 s to 0.78, 0.05 and
0.05 s (M3 Pro, one run each), with the same pixels on screen.
Direct Selection kept only one picked point of a blend's spine. Shift-click
now adds a point of the same spine or takes it away, and dragging any picked
point moves them all. object.blend.spine.moveAnchor takes `with`, the other
points to move by as much, with the key objects on them, in one undo step.
SVG text with a textLength came in at its natural width. Following
SVG 1.1 §10.9.1, the characters of each text or tspan with a textLength
are now fitted to it: by spacing them out (lengthAdjust="spacing", the
default), which becomes kerning, or by stretching them
(spacingAndGlyphs), which becomes horizontal scale (kept within
1–10000%). Inner elements are fitted first; vertical text is spaced out
only, with a warning for spacingAndGlyphs. Negative lengths are ignored.
The Join tool drew a segment between the open ends of two crossing paths
instead of trimming what overhangs the crossing. path.joinScrub now looks for
two crossing open subpaths whose overhanging ends the scrub runs over, cuts
both at the crossing and joins the kept parts there with a corner, in one undo
step. Without a crossing the endpoint join is unchanged.
A clipPath with several children was imported as one compound path under
the first child's fill rule, so children wound in opposite directions
cancelled where they overlapped, and an even-odd child after a non-zero
one lost its hole. SVG 1.1 §14.3.5 defines the clip as the union of the
children's silhouettes, each computed on its own.
A clipPath with several children now comes in as a group of them as the
clip group's clipping path, each child keeping its own rule; a group
clips to the union of its members. One child imports as before.
