On Linux and the BSDs, the desktop draws the window's frame on X11, on
Wayland compositors that draw server-side decorations and in a window
opened through XWayland. There, with VectorCraft Title Bar on Every
Desktop off, the window has the desktop's title bar with System Title
Bar on or off, and the dialog showed nothing about it under System
Title Bar.
- The desktop app records at startup whether VECTORCRAFT_TITLEBAR is
unset and the desktop would draw the frame without VectorCraft Title
Bar on Every Desktop (VectorcraftApp::desktop_keeps_frame), from the
frame probe and the launch path's XWayland choice.
- Preferences shows a note under System Title Bar in that case while
VectorCraft Title Bar on Every Desktop is off, with rows in the 27
catalogs that carry the neighboring title bar notes. The value is
worked out at startup, so a Linux Display Server change shows in the
note from the next start.

Right-to-left type on a path that overflows searched for the start of its
text that fits with a binary search, which assumed that a longer start
never fits once a shorter one does not. A letter tracked to a negative
advance breaks that: with steps of 6, 6, -3 and 6 points in a 10 point
span, the first three letters fit while the first two do not, and the
search showed only the first letter.
- Without hanging punctuation, and with no spacing or on a path of one
straight segment, every start is measured in O(n log n): each glyph
keeps its place in the whole text's visual order, except the trailing
whitespace and controls that UAX #9 rule L1 sets to the paragraph's
level.
- With hanging punctuation, or spacing on a curve, when a letter has a
negative advance, a start is a candidate only when its glyphs, in its
own visual order and each at the least step it can take, reach no
farther than the path's length. This lower bound holds with negative
advances.
- At most 32 candidates are arranged from the longest. When none of
them fits, a binary search over the rest shows a start that fits,
which is not always the longest.
- With hanging punctuation, or spacing on a curve, text with no negative
advance keeps the binary search.
Right-aligned and centered type on a curve with Spacing was placed using
the width its glyphs have at the start bracket, while the steps were
measured where the line was placed, so a line that fits could end past
the end bracket and lose glyphs. It is now placed using the width of the
steps it has where it is placed.
A path directly in a graph series lost what these commands gave it when
the graph was drawn again, for example after graph.setData:
- While Global Edit is on in an isolated graph, a match that is a series
path, or a series group whose paths take the edit, now has what
changed on its paths stored for their series: the paint, weight,
opacity and blend mode of the topmost visible fill and stroke, and the
object's opacity and blend mode. The edited match is stored by its own
command as before.
- addon.arrange.randomizeOpacity and addon.arrange.sort with apply
"opacity" now store the object opacity, with the blend mode, of the
series paths whose opacity they change. When they change several
paths of one series, the frontmost of them sets what the graph
stores, as for the other commands.
The graph stores them in the same undo step as the edit. The params
text of addon.arrange.randomizeOpacity and addon.arrange.sort,
docs/mcp.md and docs/target-app-parity.md describe the new behavior.
The check after each edit that the selected objects stay within the
canvas measured the whole of every selected path. Moving one anchor of
a 10,000-anchor path measured all 9,999 segments. A path or compound
path whose anchors and handles are all finite and inside the canvas
range now passes without being measured, because its curves stay inside
their control points. A path with a point outside that range is still
measured, so the check accepts and refuses the same edits as before.
path.moveAnchor to the point the anchor is already at, and
path.setHandle to the point the handle is already at, now leave the
document as it is and record no undo step.
vectorcraft_geom::path::measured_segments counts the segments that
PathData::bounds measures, and the new engine tests use it.
A 3D effect on a fill or stroke worked on copies of the object's fills
and strokes, and the copies were looked up among the object's items by
identity, so a live-effect plug-in before that 3D effect was given
`_context.item` "object" and a deferred stage there was listed with no
item. The drawn art, the 3D meshes and Expand as Wireframes now pass the
original item, so the plug-in is given `{"fill": i}` or `{"stroke": i}`
as docs/plugins.md describes. The paints of a type's first run still have
no item.
Select > Start Global Edit was enabled for any plain group, so a group
holding type, an image or nothing was offered in the Select menu and the
Properties panel's Quick Actions, the Control bar showed its Global Edit
Options, and starting then refused it. The enabled check now applies the
same support check as starting to every selected object, a group's
contents included.
The answer is kept per document revision and selected object, so the
Control bar, which asks every frame, walks a group once per change.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md (a new line; the existing
Global Edit line no longer says the menu item checks only for a group).
A document's composite fonts were lent by writing them into the font
database's shared map, and a second lend of another definition of the same
name was skipped while the first was held. A document drawn in a tiled or
floating window while the front document drew, a document placed in one
that defines the name differently, and an export made while another
document is in front could draw their type in the other document's
definition. Registering the front document's fonts during a render could
also change the definition mid-render.
Lending now applies on the lending thread only: each guard pushes the
document's definitions onto a per-thread stack that lookups read before the
database's own fonts, latest loan first, and removes them when it drops,
also when the thread unwinds. The guard is neither Send nor Sync. Lending no
longer changes the database or its generation; while a thread lends
definitions other than the database's, FontDb::generation gives a number of
its own for them, so kept layouts and render caches made in one document's
definitions are not used for another's.
Delete Artboards, Delete Empty Artboards and Cut Artboard removed the
chosen artboards one at a time, walking every ruler guide and the layer
tree once per artboard. They now share one helper that removes the
artboards in one walk and their guides in one more, leaving the same
artboards, guides and selected guides as before.
Empty Artboards in Artwork Cleanup had its own copy of the one-pass
removal. It now calls the same helper, and its test reads that helper's
walk counter.
