The Brushes rows name each type as the New Brush dialog does (Art Brush,
Scatter Brush) and say "missing from the Brushes panel" for a brush the
panel does not hold. The panel now shows these values through the
catalogs, so a localized interface no longer shows them in English.
document.info and the saved report keep them in English. Every catalog
gets a row for "missing from the Brushes panel"; the type names already
had rows.
View > Proof Setup > Working CMYK simulates the working CMYK space of
Color Settings in Proof Colors and Separations Preview, also in a
document assigned another CMYK profile. The active context keeps the
working context beside the assigned profiles, and the proof table cache
key includes the working settings, so a change of the working CMYK space
shows in the next proof.
With automation read roots in force, document.json returned each entry of
svg_scripts unchanged, so a JavaScript file linked from outside the read
roots kept its full path in the reply. The reply copy now names such a
file by its file name alone. An entry given as a URL is kept, and the
stored document is not changed.
- object.expand.info reports no gradient or fill to expand for a
gradient that repeats in more runs across its box than are written,
matching object.expand, which leaves it a gradient. For a path that a
painting live effect draws, it measures each piece the effect returns.
- CSS writes a repeating gradient's stop positions, and a repeating
radial gradient's radius, with enough decimals that their rounding
adds up to at most a hundredth of a period across the box (at least
four for positions and three for the radius).
- docs/mcp.md says that sharp steps and swatch-linked stops are the last
to be left out rather than always kept, and that the CSS conic limit
counts stops before midpoints and Perceptual curves add more.
A stroke at an opacity of 0 draws nothing, so its brush is no longer
listed in the Brushes category, brushNames or brushes. Pattern Objects,
Gradient Objects and Spot Color Objects likewise leave out fills and
strokes at an opacity of 0, and Objects no longer counts objects whose
only such paint is at opacity 0.
A reply hid a hidden library's absolute path wherever it appeared, also
inside another loaded library's id when the match began after the id's
start. With `/libs/Kit.gpl` hidden, the readable id
`loaded//project/libs/Kit.gpl` came back as `loaded//projectKit.gpl`,
and a request that used it failed.
Each whole readable id in a reply (with or without `loaded/`, or in a
`file:` URL with no host or `localhost`) is now found first, and a
hidden id or path that lies inside it stays. The same path after a
drive or in a URL with another host is still hidden.
Document Info's Brushes category now lists the brushes the artwork's
strokes draw with, each once with its type (Calligraphic, Scatter, Art,
Pattern or Bristle), as the Document Info panel help page describes:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/document-info-panel.html
Without Selection Only the category used to list every brush in the
Brushes panel, used or not; it now lists only the brushes art uses.
document.info adds `brushes` ([{name, type}]) and `panelBrushNames`
(the Brushes panel's brushes), and `brushNames` holds the used brushes.
Hidden strokes, strokes with no paint or width, guides, paths with no
segment, type that draws no characters, groups' and layers' own strokes,
compound path members' own strokes and image strokes without a shape
are left out. A brush the panel does not hold is listed as missing,
with a null type, and a name two panel brushes share takes the type of
the brush the renderer draws with.
A path inside a compound path given in ids was replaced by a group inside the
compound path, which reads its members as paths, so the edges did not draw. The
compound path is now expanded in its place. The panel's Quick Actions show on
the Object tab of Revolve (Classic), not on its Rotation tab, as for the other
effects with an Object tab.
When a repeated or reflected gradient needs more stops than a limit
allows, each run now leaves out the stops that change its colors
least, so every run is still written, instead of writing fewer runs
and padding the rest with the last color. Each run keeps its ends,
sharp steps, swatch-linked stops, tint and CMYK ink changes and spans
shaped by an off-center midpoint, and the colors are compared as the
gradient's method mixes them. This applies to gradients along or across
a stroke, CSS conic gradients, and PDF, EPS and .ai export.
- Outline Stroke's mesh fits the gradient to at most 1,024 stops, and
splits a stroke into several meshes when one would hold more than
2^20 points.
- Object > Expand leaves a gradient as it is when the box needs more
than 256 runs, instead of expanding only the first runs.
- CSS writes the stop positions of repeating gradients with four
decimals, so the period stays in place across the box.
- A swatch chip of a gradient that repeats gets at least four grid
cells a run along each side (at most one a point, and 128), so it
does not show one color when the count matches the chip's cells.
- docs/mcp.md states the stop limits and the PDF import sample budget.
A process color can't colorize a grayscale image that has an alpha channel,
and paint.setFill refuses that combination. Remove Background gave such an
image an alpha channel and kept its process colorize color. It now refuses
the run, changing nothing, when an image it is given is gray and colorized
with a process color. It checks this before any image is decoded. Another
image in the document that already has that combination does not affect a
run on other images. Black, white and spot colors still colorize the result.
The rule check_colorized applies to each image is now one function,
paint::gray_colorized_with_process, which both checks call.

When a Tabs panel indent marker gave the paragraphs of a threaded story
values of their own, the panel sent one text.setFormat for each
paragraph, and the story flowed through its frames again after every
one of them. text.setFormat now takes paragraphIndents, a list of
{id, start, leftIndent?, firstLineIndent?} entries, one per paragraph.
It checks every entry before it changes anything, rebuilds each type
object's paragraph styles once and makes the whole change one edit, so
the story flows again once. The markers send one such command inside
the same labeled command.batch, and a drag that changes no paragraph
runs nothing.
- With the Selection tool, a marker drag on any frame of a threaded
story now sets every paragraph of the story, in its locked and hidden
frames too.
- The single-value form of text.setFormat fails, naming the key, when a
number such as leftIndent is given as a string, a switch or a list.
- A null value of any text.setFormat attribute leaves it as it is, as an
omitted one does. A call whose attributes are all null fails with
"nothing to change" and records no edit and no undo step.
- A text.setFormat call whose values are the ones the text already has
returns its ids and records no edit, no undo step and no new revision.
