Pinning a closed spine from Replace Spine (a spine edit, Reverse Spine)
stored it closed with both end keys on its first point, so moving the
first key afterwards landed it on the last. Pinning now opens the spine
there as the layout of a moved key does.
A function an earlier run of a named engine defined was reported without
a line, column or file when it threw in a later run. The realm now gives
each source a tag that stays the same from run to run (Realm::error_tag,
Realm::script_tag), and no two sources share one once the tags run out.
Each named engine keeps the source maps of its runs' scripts, included
files and $.evalFile files, within 8 MiB, dropping the oldest first, and
an error in kept code is reported at that file, line and column. The
report's name and the console line keep the calling run's name. For an
earlier script given as source, file is that run's name.

Vertical type lays its lines out in line space and turns them a quarter turn
into text space. Convert To Area Type built the frame from line-space line
edges mixed with text-space bounds, so vertical point type moved (a 12 pt line
at (295.44, 40) went to (320.8, 28)). Convert To Point Type placed the new
origin in line space, so vertical area type moved down its column.
Both conversions now work out the frame or origin in line space and map it
through the layout's line transform. Horizontal type is unchanged.
When a dynamic symbol is redefined or edited, each instance kept every
appearance change whose path still named an object, even when that
object is now one that draws no fill or stroke of its own (an image, a
blend, a mesh) or a symbol instance given a gradient or pattern fill.
symbol.instance.setAppearance refuses such a paint, but the change stayed
on the instance and still counted as a color the document uses.
Fitting the changes to the new art now also clears a fill or stroke the
object at that path does not draw, and drops a change left empty.
On a closed spine from Replace Spine both end keys sit on its first
point, so moving one moved that point onto it and then back onto the
other. Once a key is moved off, the spine is now opened at its first
point, with a copy of it at the end taking the closing segment and the
last key.
An entry `<area>/keeps-<left area>` kept the copies in the left area
whenever the lock check on `<area>` failed, so an entry in a folder of
another account, or in one whose lock file can't be opened, kept a
crashed app's copies from being offered. Such an entry now keeps
nothing: only an area that this session holds, or that a running app of
this account has locked, keeps the copies it names.
After Replace Spine the keys are not pinned to spine anchors, so the
steps spread them evenly along the spine by arc length and put a moved
key straight back where it was. Once a key is moved off its place, the
spine is laid out pinned at the anchors where the keys were spread, and
the moved key takes its point of the spine along, as on a pinned spine.
When a running app has to leave its recovery area (its lock file was
removed and another app locked the area), its copies stay in the old area
until it writes them again in its new area. Only that app knew this, so
once the other app let the old area go, any app could offer, restore or
discard those copies while their app still ran.
The app now writes an entry `<new area>/keeps-<old area>` in its own area
while copies of its documents are left in the old one, and removes it
when none are. Another app that finds an area unlocked checks for such an
entry, and treats the area as a running app's while the area that names
it is held. After a crash the new area is no longer held, so the copies
are offered as before. The heartbeat writes the entry again if it was
removed.
Window › Swatch Libraries › Gradients gains Holographic, after Organic
Fades: seven foils (opaque linear gradients of six narrow pastel and
pearl bands with off-center midpoints) and seven glows (radial
gradients from a bright center out to a clear edge), all mixed with the
Perceptual method. They also list in the Swatches panel's library menu,
swatch.library.list/get/add and the Gradient panel's Presets.
The names, colors and stops are VectorCraft's own. A saved preset that
already uses one of the new names is renamed with the first free number
when the preferences load.
