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.

Window › Brush Libraries gains Ink and Wash after Art Ribbons: Tapered Ink, an art brush broad near its start that thins to a fine tip; Brush Pen, a calligraphic brush whose size follows the pen pressure; and Soft Wash and Pooling Wash, art brushes of translucent gray layers. The art brushes take the stroke color as tints. The names, shapes and opacities are VectorCraft's own.

effect.list's catalog lists the plug-ins installed in the process-wide
registry, which the plug-in tests change while the id and ids comparisons
run in the same test binary. Both comparisons, id against ids of one and
ids against the selection, now take the plug-in effects (plugin.<id>) out
of effect.list's catalog before comparing. The built-in catalog, applied,
activeItem, errors and the document are still compared.
Korean text broke after every Hangul syllable. A paragraph now has
Korean Line Break Anywhere, set from the Paragraph panel menu (with the
East Asian options), from the East Asian Composition Settings section of
Paragraph Style Options, and with `text.setFormat {koreanLineBreakAnywhere}`.
- Off, a word that contains Hangul (the characters between spaces) breaks
only at its spaces and after East Asian punctuation, or where the word
is wider than the line. Both composers follow it, and the word takes no
hyphen. On, a line may break between any two syllables, as before.
- New type has it off. Paragraphs and text objects saved before the
option read as on, so their lines do not move; the value is saved only
when it is off.
- Paragraph styles carry it, Reset Panel turns it off, and the .ai writer
reports it as lost for Korean paragraphs.
The help page: https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/design-with-text/fonts-and-scripts/set-line-breaks-korean-text.html
The command is described in docs/mcp.md, and docs/target-app-parity.md
lists the option.
Effect › 3D and Materials › 3D (Classic) › Revolve (Classic)… sweeps the
profile round a vertical axis, as Revolve does, and draws every face with
the Wireframe, No Shading, Diffuse and Plastic surfaces of Extrude & Bevel
(Classic).
- `effect.apply` with `threeD.classicRevolve`: Angle (0 to 360), Cap,
Offset (0 to 1000 pt) from the left or right edge of the profile's
bounds, the Position rotation and Perspective, and the classic lights,
Ambient Light, highlight, Blend Steps and Shading Color.
- Groups and layers revolve about one shared axis, and the effect also
goes on a fill or stroke, as Revolve's does.
- `effect.lightingPreset` refuses it, as it refuses Extrude & Bevel
(Classic).
- Revolve faces carry their view-space normal, and
`three_d::revolve_facets` hands them to the classic surface code.
- Unknown parameters, numbers out of range and bad flags, edges,
surfaces and colors are refused with an error.
Paragraph Style Options and New Paragraph Style gain a Tabs section. It
lists the style's stops and edits the selected stop's Alignment, position
(X:, or Y: for vertical type), Leader and Align On character. Add puts a
left stop 36 pt past the furthest one, Delete Tab removes the selected
stop, and Clear All Tabs leaves the style with no stops. OK sorts the
stops by position and keeps the stop edited last when two share one
position. Reset Panel removes the style's tabs.
paraStyle.new, paraStyle.setAttrs and paraStyle.edit check changed tabs
stop by stop: at most 256 stops, and each changed stop's position from 0
to 100000 pt and leader of at most 8 characters. Stops the style already
has are kept as they are. Changed tabs are sorted by position, keeping
the first of stops at one position. text.tabs.set rejects a leader longer
than 8 characters, an Align On value of more than one character and more
than 256 stops. Loading paragraph styles skips a style whose indents,
spacing, hyphenation, justification or tabs are out of range.

flat_charged and the property-key path now root the rope itself, so a string held only by
native code (a getter's result for ++o.x, a valueOf result, a toString key) still counts
what it holds when the reservation collects. The per-call roots for these cases are removed.
stroke.set without an item always went to the painted leaves, so a join
set on a group whose stroke is its own (a row in the group's stack)
left that stroke alone and gave every member without a stroke a new
black 1 pt one: on a PDF map, every glyph path got an outline. A
selected group or layer with a stroke row of its own now edits that
row, as the Stroke panel does with the group targeted; other targets
reach their leaves as before. A stroke row made for options alone
(cap, join, miter limit, dashes, alignment) has no paint, so nothing
becomes visible; a weight, an arrowhead or a profile still gives the
black stroke.
Fixes#6739
A Cutting Tools add-on command (Object › Plug-ins › Cutting Tools › Weed Box
and Lines…, `addon.cutting.weed`) for vinyl cutting: around the selected art
it adds a weed box, a rectangle at a margin outside the art's bounds, and
weeding lines across the box, horizontal, vertical or both, by count or by
spacing. Each line runs from one side of the box to the other and is left out
over the art and within a gap of its outlines, so it stops at the art and the
waste lifts off in pieces. The lines and the box are straight paths stroked
in a chosen color swatch ([Registration] by default) with no fill, in one
group named Weeding on top of the current layer, selected, as one undo step.
While a clip group, or a group inside one, is edited in isolation, the
group goes on top of the container that holds the outermost clip group
around it.
The art is measured by the outlines a cutter cuts: closed paths by their fill
rule (the hole of an even-odd compound path gets lines too), open paths as
lines, type by its glyph outlines, images by their frames, placed files by
the art they show (by their boxes when the file can't be read), symbol
instances by their art, and blends and other live objects by the art they
draw. A clip group, and an object selected inside one, is measured by what
shows inside the region its clipping paths clip to, and a clipping path
selected on its own as its clip group. Art in a hidden group or layer is
left out. The command refuses an empty selection, art with no outlines, bad
params, and art or lines too complex to measure, with a message.
The dialog has Preview; a Spacing above 0 is used instead of the Count.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Cutting Tools add-on) and docs/target-app-parity.md.
When the flattened copy of a String object's concatenated string would pass the heap limit
before a collection can run, the indexed read walks the rope to the unit instead, taking a
unit of fuel for each node it visits, so no copy is made.
Inside braces, a line such as `#include$size = 1` was taken for an `#include` line, because only the ASCII letters, digits and `_` after the `#` were compared with the directive names. The name now runs over every character a name may hold, written out or as an escape, before the comparison.
On Windows, removing a copy whose path runs through a file reports the copy as missing, so the removal counted as done and the file in the way went unreported, while a listing names it. The removal now names that file, and a copy that is just not there still counts as removed.
`insideFirst: true` (default false) draws each pen's path only after
the pen's paths that lie inside it: a letter's counter before the
letter, a part's holes before the part. Without `sortPaths` the paths
otherwise keep paint order; with it, the next path is the nearest of
those free to draw.
Touching outlines count as inside; crossing ones, and copies of one
outline, do not. Finding which paths lie inside which shares the plot's
work budget with sorting, and each case that runs out of it adds a
warning.

effect.deferredStatus lists a stage in the art of a symbol, pattern, brush
or opacity mask by the id of the object in that art. effect.refreshDeferred
took such an id only while the object still had a deferred stage; an
existing object there without one was refused as no such object, while a
layer object without a stage was accepted. An id is now valid when it names
an object in the layers or in that art, an object without a stage adds
nothing to the counts, and an id of no object is an error.
The params text and docs/mcp.md said `id` names one object, but the params
text did not list the key, so `{id: N}` was refused as an unknown
parameter. It is now `{ids?|id?}`, and the command checks only the form of
the ids before it looks them up itself.
The requested ids are held in a set while the art is walked, and only those
with a stage are handed to the refresh.
- ui.dock's move takes a hidden panel's shown id in target, as the other
docking destinations do.
- Shortcut overrides keyed panel:<panel id>, saved and in an open
Keyboard Shortcuts dialog, show the panel id shown for a library
outside the read roots, also when nothing else refers to it.
- Outside Windows, a native path is matched only as written: a sent
/out/weird/name.svg no longer renames a hidden library at
/out/weird\name.svg, and a reply does not read one as a spelling of the
other. Windows paths are still matched with either separator.
- wrapping a string no longer flattens it, so Object(s).length and new String(s) on a large concatenated string make no copy and cannot collect while a call's operands are off the stack
- reading a String object's character by index, `in` and hasOwnProperty count the flattened copy at the next limit check, and the run ends before the copy when the fuel for it is not left
- unary plus on an object whose valueOf returns a concatenated string, and a property key from toString, keep that string rooted while its copy is reserved
- the unshift comment cites step 6 of section 15.4.4.13
A command given a key without a modifier did not open the slider or
dialog that its menu item and its chords open. With Smooth on F,
pressing F opened no slider, and Offset Path, Reflect, Average, Split
Into Grid, Vector Halftone, Divide into Dashes and Find Nearest Swatch
changed the document at once with their default values. The single-key
handler ran the command directly, while a chord goes through the menu's
route. Single-key presses now take the chord's route (run_hit), so
Smooth and Simplify show their sliders, and Offset Path, Move, Rotate,
Scale, Reflect, Shear, Transform Each, Average, Average & Join, Split
Into Grid, Vector Halftone, Rearrange All Artboards, Pathfinder Options,
Arrange in Grid, Divide into Dashes and Find Nearest Swatch open their
dialogs. Commands without a dialog still run at once. On that route a
single key also finishes a pending tool edit before its command runs,
as a chord does.
Holding a key that opened a dialog or the palette no longer types into
it: the key's repeats and the text they type are held back until the
key is let go. With Move on F, holding F typed "ffffffff" into Move's
first field. A shortcut that opens a dialog or the palette also stops
the shortcuts after it in the same frame, single keys and chords alike,
so they no longer change the document behind the dialog.
The drag out of the rulers' corner was ended only by the rulers' own
input, which the canvas skips while the rulers are hidden (View › Rulers,
Presentation Mode). Hiding them mid-drag left the drag's snapping guides
on the canvas and its state open until the rulers came back.
The canvas now ends the drag, cancelled, while the rulers are hidden,
through the same helper a release uses.
The zero point dragged out of the box where the rulers meet snaps as a
Pen or shape tool's point does: with Smart Guides onto the anchors,
centres, edges and paths of the art and the artboards or into line with
them, with Snap to Point onto the anchors and along the ruler guides,
else onto whole pixels or the grid. The guides showing what it snapped
to show during the drag and go when it is released or cancelled
(Escape, focus loss, another document). The origin is still set once,
on release (document.setRulerOrigin, one undo step).
The engine snaps it (Session::ruler_origin_drag, with the tools crate's
rulerguide::OriginDrag over PointSnap::drawn), as it does a guide
dragged out of a ruler.
