When the document does not hold a color mask's masked pixels, the image is
drawn from its own pixels. A live color adjustment now recolors those pixels
and drops the mask on the recolored copy, instead of pointing the image at
the missing masked pixels, which drew nothing and left Expand Appearance with
an image whose pixels were not in the document.
Export As starts with Use Artboards off. For a PDF it then wrote one
page of the art's bounds straight away with the default preset, so the
Save PDF dialog never showed and none of its options applied there,
"Write pages longer than 200 in at full size in points" included.
Export As now opens Save PDF with Use Artboards on or off. With it off,
the dialog has no Artboards section, and OK writes one page of the
visible art's bounds the way Export As writes its other formats: with
Background Export, the progress dialog and its Cancel, and the question
before replacing the file the document was opened from. View PDF after
Saving opens that file too.
document.exportPdf listed useArtboards among its options but did not
read it. false now writes the page that document.export writes, and
ignores artboard, artboards and range; both commands use one helper
for it. document.pdfSettings refuses a useArtboards that isn't true or
false, and with includeDocument it exports that page, so the Summary's
warnings are about it.
While an opacity mask or symbol is being edited, document.exportPdf
and document.pdfSettings leave out the editing layer, from the drawn
pages and from the Preserve Editing data, as document.export does.
With the artboards as pages too, Save PDF's OK over the file the
document was opened from, when opening it left things out, now asks
first (file.export.pdf), and the question stays open when the dialog
closes.
A layer expanded to its edges keeps the paths made into guides inside it, as it keeps its ruler
guides. A clipping group with Revolve and Rotate is cut for Revolve, the effect the canvas draws,
so its fills go in one piece and art with more fills than a 3D effect takes still expands.
An HP-GL wedge of almost no radius drawn with an adaptive line type
(LT-1;EW0.000001,0,0;) leaves a lone moveto. Fitting the dashes to its
corners indexed the empty segment list and panicked while rendering. Such
a subpath now uses the exact plan, which has no runs to fit.

Plain RGB fills and strokes and RGB gradient stops were written with
their display RGB values. The reader reads those values as working RGB,
so with a working RGB space other than sRGB a reopened file was saved
with different RGB values and CMYK equivalents. They are now written
with the color's own RGB values, as global process and spot colors
already were.
A spot color in a gradient stop now writes its RGB values from its full
color as the palette writes it (Lab to four decimals and clamped), the
same values its CMYK equivalent comes from.
artboard.new no longer raises a width or height below 1 pt to 1 pt, and artboard.setProps raises only a supplied side, so an edit to a small artboard's name or lock keeps its size.
many_tiling_patterns_and_spot_inks_read_in_linear_time checked that a
program setting 200,000 different tiling patterns and 200,001 spot inks
reads within 20 s of wall-clock time. It reads in about 4 s alone; while
the crate's full test suite ran in parallel it took more than 20 s and
failed.
In test builds, the tiling pattern lookup now counts on its thread how
many patterns it compared with the one it looked for (tilings_compared,
gated with cfg(test) like SELECTOR_TESTS in the SVG reader's CSS). The
test, renamed many_tiling_patterns_are_found_again_through_a_hash, reads
through import on a thread of its own and asserts that its 200,000
lookups compared at most 200,000 patterns in all. When every pattern
hashes alike, as when each lookup went through every pattern made so
far, the lookups compare 19,999,900,000 and the test fails. The test
still reads the 200,001 spot inks and checks their swatches, but it does
not count or time their lookups.
The other tests that read through read_soon wait 300 s instead of 20 s,
as a guard against a read that never ends; their budgets and limits
decide what they check. work_on_the_longest_dash_pattern_ends_soon (4.5 s
alone) now also checks that the states gsave, grestore, gstate,
currentgstate and setgstate save, make or set hold the one 65,535-entry
dash pattern, so a copy of the pattern in any of them fails it.
File › Place with Link reads a DCS 1.0 or 2.0 file (an EPS file whose
header names one EPS program per printing plate) as one linked image of
its plates. Each spot plate adds a spot swatch in the CMYK values the
file gives, and the clipping path the file's composite is drawn through
clips the image. document.open, file.place without link or from bytes,
and links.embed refuse a DCS file and change nothing.
- The screen, composite print and exports show the plates mixed into
CMYK. Separations Preview and print separations show each plate on
its own ink; a spot plate prints as its CMYK values when spots print
as process.
- links.list answers the format DCS, and with dcsTransparency marks the
DCS images that are transparent or overlap transparent objects (the
Links panel menu's Show DCS Transparency Interactions).
- swatch.unused leaves out a spot swatch while a DCS image has a plate
of its ink.
- links.update and links.relink read the plates and the clipping path
again, and the link shows as modified when one of its plate files
changes or is gone.
- The plates go on the first plate's pixel grid, grown to hold every
plate where it prints; a plate of another size or position is
resampled onto it.
- A file may name 64 plates, a plate file may be 1 GB, and the plates
together may hold 512 MB of ink amounts. A file naming more plates is
an error.

In a CID-keyed font whose CIDFont the file only names, a cshow procedure
now runs with the CIDFont as the current font, rootfont gives the
composite font, and the procedure gets each code's last byte. A show in
the CIDFont shows the character of that code, and any other string is a
rangecheck error. The current font is restored after each procedure.
A kshow procedure no longer leaves a font it sets current: the current
font is restored when the procedure completes, for every font, and a
kshow the procedure runs sees the font the procedure set.
In GBT-H and CNS2-H, whose mappings are not read, a byte that starts no
row-and-cell code is a code of its own.
docs/gaps.md dates this G9 work in a bullet of its own.
Under --automation-read-root, document.json names a linked image or
placed file in a stored brush's art outside the read roots by its file
name alone, as it does in the layers. A stored brush entry that does not
read as a brush is left out of the reply, and a stored brush library
that is not a list becomes an empty one. A link whose file is inside the
read roots loses its stored relative path when that path leads outside
them, from the folder of the file the document was read from or from the
document's own folder.
Under automation read roots, a reply's base64 `thumbnail` (a library
item's PNG in `library.get`, a page's PNG in `document.pdfInfo`) was
searched for hidden library paths like any other text, so a short path
that happened to occur in the encoded bytes was rewritten and the image
broke. `thumbnail` now joins `dataBase64`, `pngBase64` and
`thumbnailBase64` as encoded data that is left unchanged; text under it
that is not base64 is still searched.
craft-update and craft-vectorcraft-format move from storytold/craft-libs
at 6e03f65bf to e98299546, craft-libs main with 47b6bbadf. The startup
check's thread now reads whether the copy installs itself, so a slow
disk no longer stalls a frame when the startup prompt is built. Both
crates stay on one craft-libs revision; the other craft-libs pins are
unchanged. Cargo.lock changes only the two crates' source.
When the action New Action made for the recording in progress is deleted,
Stop Playing/Recording keeps none of the recorded steps. The step and
file limits measured a new action in the original set instead, so a
recorded command could be refused while the set's file was near 8 MiB.
The recording now has no target in that case, and no limit applies.
With Size 0, Roughen moved no point but still replaced each segment
with its Detail's points joined by straight lines (Corner) or by a
smoothed curve through them (Smooth), so a curved path lost its shape.
At Size 0 each segment is now split at the Detail spacing into pieces
of equal length on the segment itself, with `pathtools::insert_at`: a
straight segment gets corner points without handles, and a curve gets
smooth points whose handles follow it. The path keeps its outline with
Smooth or Corner points alike. The params text of `distort.roughen`
describes size 0.
`insert_at` now counts the anchors added before each returned mark in
one pass. It counted them again for every split segment, which took
quadratic time on a path with many split segments. Its results are
unchanged.
Existing documents with a Roughen of Size 0 on a curved path, or with
Smooth points, draw differently.
This is VectorCraft's own rule. What Roughen does is described in
