Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate take a Shadows switch on the
Lighting tab, with Position (Behind Object or Below Object), Distance from
Object (0 to 100%) and Shadow Bounds (10 to 400%), saved in the effect as
shadow, shadowPosition, shadowDistance and shadowBounds.
With shadows on, the first light casts a hard-edged vector shadow of the
solid: every face of every solid of the object projected along the light
onto a plane behind the object (square to the view) or below it (square to
its own vertical axis and turned with it), filled black with the nonzero
rule at 50% times the opacity of the art that casts it, in that art's
blending mode, and drawn behind the solids. Distance moves the plane away
by a share of the object's largest size; Bounds ends the plane at a square
about the foot of the object's center, four times that size across at
100%. No shadow is drawn while Shading is off, when the first light's
intensity is 0, or when it does not reach the plane. A member's opacity
mask and blending mode apply to the part of the shadow it casts. A shadow
is cast from at most 327,680 faces; past that, commands are refused and a
loaded file draws the source path. The canvas, SVG and PDF exports draw the
shadow, and Expand Appearance keeps it as a path. Values out of range are
refused before the document changes.

These commands read optional numbers and flags with f64_or and bool_or,
so a value such as "10" or "yes" ran the command with the default. They
now return an error and leave the document, the selection and the undo
history as they were. Omitting a key or giving null behaves as before.

Document Setup gains alignNewObjectsToPixelGrid. When it is on, every
path or compound path drawn in the document (shape tools, Pen,
Curvature, Pencil, Paintbrush, Blob Brush, grids, flares and add-on
shapes) gets the pixel-aligned property and snaps in the same undo
step. Text, paste, duplicate, Place and import are not affected.
- The Transform panel menu has an Align New Objects to Pixel Grid
item for the active document.
- New Document's Advanced Options has the checkbox; the Mobile and Web
presets turn it on, other presets and older saved presets leave it
off, and file.new, Save Preset and Recent keep it.
- The setting is saved with the document only when it is on.

Save and Save As as EPS always wrote the chosen artboard as the page and
%%BoundingBox, and the EPS Options hid Use Artboards, so art past the
artboard was left outside the file's bounding box.
The EPS Options of Save As now show Use Artboards with All or Range
under it, unchecked by default. Unchecked, Save writes one file whose
bounding box fits all the visible art, as Export does, without the
artboards' background colors; with no visible art the page is the first
artboard, in its color. Checked with two or more chosen artboards, the
file at the path is the central file of the visible art and each
artboard is also written to <name>_<artboard>.eps beside it. Checked
with one, that artboard is the page of the file at the path, the
behavior Save had since #4293 (mockydevs). The file the document becomes
still carries the whole editable document.
Naming artboards with artboard, artboards or range still turns Use
Artboards on. file.formatOptions now reports it on, with those artboards
as the range, and the Save As dialog opens that way.
Changed default: an EPS saved with Save or Save As, an opened EPS
included, now gets a bounding box around its visible art unless Use
Artboards is checked or the save names artboards; an opened EPS saved
back this way loses the margins its page had. selectedOnly stays an
Export option, and Save refuses it.

registry::grant takes a GrantToken, which the engine makes after a
person's approval and when it loads grants.json. registry::install,
install_bytes and folder loads refuse a module that lists permissions no
recorded grant gives this very module (Error::NeedsApproval), and leave
the plug-in under its id and the revision as they were. A folder load's
approve callback only narrows what installs. A module without
permissions, or with an empty list, installs as before.
A folder load in a session with a plug-in store records the store's
grant for each module it approves, so those modules still load.
docs/plugins.md says what the approval does not protect against: native
code linked into the app, and another program running as the same user,
which can edit the Plug-ins folder and its unsigned grants.json.
With a TIFF preview, each EPS file's PNG thumbnail is now the preview
averaged down to the thumbnail's size and composited on white, so
export and Save draw the page once instead of twice. The thumbnail
keeps the size a 128 px render of the page has; a page that fits in
128 px gets the preview's own pixels. Without a preview the thumbnail
is still drawn.
- Rendered::area_resized averages premultiplied pixels over the area
under each new pixel, weighting edge pixels by the share they cover,
and returns an error for a 0 side or a buffer that does not match.
graphicStyle.apply and graphicStyle.redefine copied the style's whole
appearance into a new allocation for every target. Targets that take
the style's appearance as stored now share one copy-on-write handle; a
target whose placed gradients are fitted to its own bounds still gets
its own. Editing one object later gives it its own copy. Saved files
and undo values are unchanged.
The undo history's memory estimate counted a shared appearance once
per object; it now counts each appearance allocation once per side.
A file read as HP-GL by its extension no longer has to start with an instruction plot files usually start with. Any instruction the reader knows, or one of another set that a semicolon ends, may come first; the rest of the check still refuses files that are not HP-GL. Telling HP-GL apart by content alone keeps the stricter check.
The grants that should be gone from grants.json but could not be removed
were kept per Session, so a second Session attached to the same Plug-ins
folder in the same process still counted them for plugin.inspect,
plugin.install and loading plug-ins. They are now kept for the process,
by the folder's canonical path and the plug-in id, and a successful
write of grants.json for the id in any session makes the grant count
again. Attaching another folder no longer clears them.
A failed removal does not override a write another session made for
the id in the meantime. The process keeps the latest 256 grant writes
for that check. Another process on the folder still reads grants.json
as it is written.
The Edit Colors commands read `fill`, `stroke`, `includeImages` and
`includePatterns` with a reader that fell back to the default for any
value that is not true or false, so `edit.colors.toGrayscale
{"fill": "false"}` converted the fills it was asked to leave alone.
These keys, and `convert` and `mode` in `edit.colors.adjustBalance`,
are now read with `switch_or` and `text_param`, and a wrong type is an
error that changes nothing. The same applies to `addon.color.filter`,
which shares the scope.
`edit.colors.overprintBlack` now refuses a `remove`, `fill`, `stroke`,
`includeCmyBlacks` or `includeSpotBlacks` that is not true or false
and a `percentage` that is not a number. `color.harmony` refuses a
`rule` or `variation` that is not a string; a `variation` such as 5
was dropped before.
A null still counts as a key left out. docs/mcp.md describes the
errors.
With the Artboard tool selecting several artboards, Paste in Place, Paste
in Front and Paste in Back put a copy of the copied art on each, where it
was on the artboard it was copied from, in one undo step. The three
commands take `artboards: [index...]`; the app passes the Artboard tool's
selection there, and without it the engine uses that selection while the
tool is chosen and records it in the journal. Art copied from no artboard
keeps its place on the first artboard and its offset to it on the others.
Copied artboards still paste once, where they were.
An `artboard` or `artboards` value that is not an artboard index of the
document, a repeated index or an empty list is now an error, and nothing
is pasted. An out-of-range `artboard` used to paste the art where it was.
A batch keeps the `artboards` a paste step names, and a paste step that
names neither pastes on the Artboard tool's selection while that tool is
chosen with several artboards selected.

On Windows a recovery area's lock file counted as the one that was
opened when the two had the same creation time. NTFS gives a file made
within 15 seconds under a removed file's name that file's creation
time, so a second running copy could take an area another copy had
just made again. The check now compares the volume serial number and
file index, as Unix compares the device and inode, and counts a file it
cannot read as not the same. The test that a lock file made again is
not the one opened now also runs on Windows.
select.object.notAlignedToPixelGrid selects the paths (not guides) and
compound paths whose pixel-aligned property is off, whatever their
coordinates, and returns {count}. It looks into groups but not into
compound paths, which take the property as one object, and leaves out
hidden, locked and template art and, in isolation mode, everything
outside the isolated object. It replaces the selection, clears it when
nothing matches, and records no undo step.
The menu item goes under Select › Object with rows in every complete
catalog, and plug-ins may call the command like the other Select ›
Object filters. Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
graph.setType read `axisMin: "10"` as a cleared bound, so the axis went
back to the calculated range, and it ignored a string or number given for
a true/false option, a string for a number and a number for a text option.
graph.setData and graph.create ignored a `csv` that is not a string and
`series`, `categories` or `rows` that are not lists, and read a string in
`rows` as a blank cell.
The three commands now refuse such a value with an error naming the key,
and leave the graph and the undo history as they were. A null is still
read as a key left out, and a null axis bound still goes back to the
calculated value. A negative tick count is refused too.
Double-clicking a paragraph style, or Paragraph Style Options... in the
Paragraph Styles panel menu, opens Paragraph Style Options
(`ui.paraStyleOptions`) instead of the rename dialog. Its sections are
General (name and stored attributes), Basic Paragraph Formats (Alignment,
indents, space before and after), Composition (composer, Roman Hanging
Punctuation), Hyphenation and Justification. OK runs the new
`paraStyle.edit {name, to, attrs}`, which replaces the name and attributes
in one undo step; paragraphs that use the style keep their local
overrides. Fields left as they were keep the style's values, empty fields
leave an attribute unset, Preview can be canceled, and each section's
Reset Panel (`ui.paraStyleOptions.resetPanel`) clears only its own
attributes. New Paragraph Style shows the same sections, filled in from
the selected paragraph or the interface language's paragraph defaults.
`paraStyle.new`, `paraStyle.setAttrs` and `paraStyle.edit` now reject a
changed indent or space outside -1296 to 1296 pt, Hyphenation counts and
zone outside their ranges, Justification values outside their ranges or
out of Minimum/Desired/Maximum order, and tab positions outside 0 to
100000 pt. A value the style already holds is kept.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Symbols panel menu gains Sort by Name, which puts the document's
symbols in name order, ignoring case, as one undo step
(`symbol.sortByName`). Symbols whose names differ only in case keep their
order, the current symbol stays current, and no undo step is added when
the symbols are already in order.
The menu's Thumbnail View and List View become Thumbnail View, Small List
View (18-point rows, 14-point thumbnails) and Large List View (the former
List View's 26-point rows and 22-point thumbnails), as in the Graphic
Styles panel. Clicking, double-clicking and dragging a symbol work the
same in every view.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The test drew an ellipse from the top-left corner of the rectangle it had
just drawn, which stays selected. With a shape tool, a press on a handle of
the selection's box now scales the selection, so the press scaled the
rectangle instead of drawing. The test deselects before each tool draws.
file.package, file.place, file.place.queue, file.place.info,
document.serialize, document.export, document.exportSelection and
document.exportForOffice read their switches, strings and numbers with
helpers that fell back to the default for a value of the wrong type.
file.package {"copyFonts": "false"} copied the fonts, and
document.exportForOffice {"path": 5} returned the bytes instead of
writing a file. Each such value is now an error naming the key, and
nothing is placed or written. Null still means the key was left out.
File › Open and File › Place refused plotter files: HP-GL/2 files
(.plt, .hpgl, .hgl, .hpg) were not a format VectorCraft reads.
The format table gets a read-only HP-GL format, read by a new
vectorcraft_cad::hpgl module. Each line the pen draws becomes a stroked
path in its pen's color and width, with the line type as a dash pattern
and the line attributes as caps and joins. Circles, arcs, wedges and
Bézier curves are drawn as curves. Filled and edged rectangles, wedges
and polygons (polygon mode) become filled or stroked paths, and encoded
polylines, scaling points, user units and rotation are read. Plotter
units (1016 to the inch, y up) become points, and the artboard holds
what the art paints. Place brings the art in as one group. Older HP-GL
files are read by the HP-GL/2 rules for the instructions the two share.
A file is recognized by its first instructions, after any printer
escape sequences and PJL lines, so a plot file also opens under an
extension no other format reads. VectorCraft's own rules where the
device decides: before the first SP the pen is pen 1, and the hard-clip
limits are 11 x 8.5 in, which P2 takes when the file sets no scaling
points. Labels, symbol-mode symbols and raster images are not drawn,
the input window does not clip, hatched fills are filled solid, and
later pages are drawn over the first; the warnings list each. Objects,
path points and pen widths are capped, and the import fuzzer covers
random, mutated and garbage plot files.
An importer plug-in that lists .plt, .hpgl, .hgl or .hpg now opens
those files only when document.open names it with `importer`.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/file-format-parity.md,
docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/releasing.md.
swatch.library.list, brush.libraries, symbol.libraries and
graphicStyle.libraries returned every library's file path and the user
library folder to a client confined by --automation-read-root, including
paths outside its read roots. They now return null for those paths, and a
library loaded from a file outside the roots is listed as
loaded/<file name>, numbered (2), (3) when names repeat. That id finds the
library in the other library commands, and their replies show it too.
- The naming moves from control.rs into
swatchlib::concealed_library_ids, which numbers the session's loaded
libraries first, so ui.inspect, ui.docking and the library commands show
a library under the same id.
- swatch.library.copyToUser refuses a library whose file is outside the
read roots without naming the file; it and the library saves with
`user: true` leave out `path` when the user library folder is outside
the read roots.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (read roots), docs/target-app-parity.md.
A missing file below a folder link whose target does not exist got
"does not exist", while one below a link to an existing outside folder
was refused, so a script could tell whether the folder a link leads to
exists. A missing path is now refused when the nearest entry above it
that exists is a link that leads to nothing.
A fourth gradient kind, conic (also accepted as `angle` or `conical`),
sweeps the stops once around the center (the gradient's start),
clockwise on the page from the vector, with a seam where the last stop
meets the first. A negative aspect mirrors the sweep, and reflecting an
object turns its sweep the other way, also for a conic without a
vector or with a flat extent.
- Gradient panel: a Conic button in the Type row; the Aspect Ratio
field works for conic gradients and keeps a mirrored sweep mirrored.
- Gradient tool: the extent ellipse, aspect handle and center ring of a
radial gradient, without a focal point.
- Rendering, swatch chips, transforms, warps, plug-in round trips, and
Object > Expand into wedges or a mesh of columns around the center.
- Commands: a negative `aspect` is an error for linear and radial
gradients, and so is a `focal` point for a conic gradient.
- PDF export writes a function-based shading whose calculator function
turns the angle into the ramp, and PDF import reads a function-based
shading that turns around the origin of its space back as a conic
gradient, also when that origin lies outside the painted area. A
PDF/A file, or a conic with more than 97 stops, gets an image
instead.
- SVG export writes 360 solid wedges clipped to the shape for opaque
stops and an image otherwise, and a linear gradient on characters.
- CSS export writes `conic-gradient(from ...)`, with the stops mirrored
for a mirrored sweep.
- EPS and legacy .ai export write 360 solid wedges; the .ai editing data
holds a linear gradient along the vector with the same stops.
- .af files: conical gradients open as conic gradients.
- An export that writes the gradient in another form gives a warning.
Supersedes #2326 and includes switch87's code from it.

When plugin.remove could not remove the grant and then could not rename
the plug-in's settings folder back from <folder>.removed, the failure was
only logged: the plug-in got empty settings, and the next removal deleted
the .removed folder with the settings in it.
- The error now names the .removed folder, the plug-in folder and the
reason, and the plug-in gets no storage until the settings are back.
- The next load, install or plugin.remove of the plug-in renames a kept
folder back while the plug-in has no folder of its own. When it has one,
that folder is used and the kept one stays until plugin.remove deletes
both. A removal while a kept .removed folder exists renames the plug-in
folder to <folder>.removing.
- Before deleting a renamed folder, the store writes an empty
<folder>.removed.delete file and removes it once the folder is gone, so
what a failed deletion leaves is not moved back. When that file can't
be written, nothing is deleted.
- A .removed folder without a .delete file, including one an earlier
version left, counts as kept settings: a new install of the id needs
replace: true, and plugin.remove of the id deletes it.
The word gap is now the Desired word spacing the layout uses for area type
with Block on (TextObject::layout_justification), with Minimum and Maximum
moved out to it when it lies outside them. The paragraphs keep their own
Justification values, so a wide gap no longer leaves a 1,000 % Maximum
behind, and turning Block off brings back the paragraph's own Desired
value. The SVG writer reads the same values.
- The Contextual Task Bar offers Dynamic Text for area type outside a
thread, beside Convert To Point Type.
- type.dynamicText with wordGap or lineGap and no area type in the
selection is an error instead of being ignored.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, params text, docs/target-app-parity.md.
object.vectorHalftone read frequency, angle, invert, clip and
keepOriginal with readers that fall back to the default for a value of
the wrong type, so {"frequency": "60"} drew a 20 lpi screen. shape and
mode given as a non-string also fell back to circle and mono. Each of
these is now an error and the document is left as it was. A null
value, color included, still stands for the default.
Closing a path by dragging on its first anchor made that anchor smooth
with symmetric handles, so the first segment bent along with the closing
one. The drag now sets the first anchor's incoming handle to the mirror
of the pointer. Its outgoing handle stays where it is on a corner, so
the first segment keeps its shape, and on a smooth anchor it turns to
stay in line at its own length. Alt makes the anchor a corner and leaves
the outgoing handle where it was when Alt went down. A click on the
first anchor closes the path with the incoming handle retracted and the
anchor a corner, so the closing segment comes in straight.
The Smart Pen's closing drag follows the same rule.
path.close's `in` now places the handle as path.setHandle does, and a
new `out` param places the outgoing handle and makes the anchor a
corner.
Type › Type on a Path › Center on Top and Center on Bottom
(type.pathCenter.top and type.pathCenter.bottom, also on the Contextual
Task Bar for type on a closed path) slide the type along its path so that
the middle of the span between its brackets lands on the path's topmost or
bottommost point as the object is drawn, after its transform. On a level
stretch, such as a rectangle's top edge, the middle of the stretch is used.
The span keeps its length, and the first paragraph is set to Center unless
it is Center or Justify Center. The type is not flipped. Type on an open or
compound path, type in a thread, and type on a path with no length or no
height are refused with an error that names them. When the type is already
centered there, no undo step is recorded. This is VectorCraft's own
behavior.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
every_command_survives_empty_params and
read_only_commands_read_the_instance_of_a_picked_object run every command
with {}. That includes plugin.clearCache, which without an id empties the
cache of every plug-in installed in the process. When either sweep ran
during plugin_storage_is_capped_and_survives_a_damaged_settings_file
(called from plugins_keep_settings_and_a_cache_of_their_own_in_the_store),
it deleted that test's cache entries Tile and tile. The test's
st.clear_cache() == MAX_CACHE_BYTES + 3 assertion after the
MAX_CACHE_SCAN folders then failed with 536870912 bytes freed.
Both sweeps now leave plugin.clearCache out.
tests/plugin_clear_cache.rs already runs it with {} in a test binary of
its own. A new test runs the other plug-in commands with {} in the
selection states that every_command_survives_empty_params uses, and checks
that an installed plug-in's cache keeps its 3 bytes.
The gradients category was titled Gradient Swatches and listed every
gradient swatch, used or not. It is now Gradient Objects: one row per
object filled or stroked with a gradient, named as the object is, with
the gradients it uses (a linked swatch by name, else Linear gradient,
Radial gradient or Freeform gradient). document.info adds
gradientObjects and gradientNames, and Selection Only, Save and the
Package report use the same rows.
Gradient objects follow the rules Pattern Objects uses for paint that
draws: hidden fills and strokes, strokes with no width, guides, compound
path members' own paint, image paint without a shape and type that draws
nothing are left out, and type whose characters carry a gradient is
included. objects.gradients now counts the listed objects, so it no
longer counts hidden or zero-width gradient paint and no longer misses
type whose characters use a gradient.
The duplicate Document Info Save line in docs/target-app-parity.md is
removed.
A `File` or `Folder` for a missing path got "does not exist" even when
the path led outside the script's folder, through a folder link or, on a
file system where case matters, through a folder whose name differs from
the script's folder only in case, while an existing file there was
refused. A missing path is now refused unless the nearest folder above
it that exists lies inside a granted folder.
When a second running copy listed the recovery folder, it could lock an
area that this copy had just made but not yet locked, take it for a
crashed copy's empty area and remove it. Locking the area then failed,
and the recovery save reported "No such file or directory". On macOS the
lock could also fail with "Invalid argument" on the removed lock file.
Taking a new area now counts it as busy, and tries the next name, when
its folder or lock file is gone by the time it is locked, when its lock
file is there but cannot be opened (some file systems keep a removed
file that another copy still has open until it is closed), or when the
lock file that was locked is no longer the one in the folder.
Tidying an empty area, and quitting, now remove the area while it is
still locked, and remove its folder once more after letting it go if
the folder is empty.
links.list, links.check, links.info and document.open's missingLinks,
modifiedLinks and updatedLinks rows no longer give an automation client
with read roots the path of a linked file outside those roots. path and
found are left out of the rows, and links.info also leaves out link,
location and the file size and date the document stores. A relative path
is taken from the document's folder. Each row keeps its id, file name and
status, and the document's links are not changed. Without read roots the
replies are as before.
Find in Folder now matches a search's rows by their ids, comparing paths
only when both rows have one, so it still shows the files found for a
row whose path was left out.
A PDF/A file at PDF 1.4 has no UserUnit, so a page longer than 14,400 pt is written in points with or without longPagesInPoints. The param text, docs/mcp.md and the exporter comment now say that only PDF/A files at PDF 1.5 and later keep the UserUnit.
- `File.encode` and `Folder.encode` leave `/` unescaped, as the File
object reference lists it among the characters kept
(https://extendscript.docsforadobe.dev/file-system-access/file-object/).
- `exists` is true for a `File` only when the path names something
other than a folder, and for a `Folder` only when it names a folder.
- Fields of the records the app returns are read as own properties, so
a property a script puts on `Object.prototype` does not turn a
successful `open` into a failure.
- `File.encode`, `File.decode`, `File.isEncodingAvailable` and the
`Folder` locations count as file calls and charge the host-call limit.
- On the web the locations are `null` and `File.tempName` names a file
at the root, without asking the platform for a temporary folder.
PDF/A-2 limits page boundaries to 14,400 units (ISO 19005-2, 6.1.13), and
PDF 1.4 has no UserUnit. A PDF/A-2b export at PDF 1.4 with a page longer
than 14,400 pt was written in points, with a MediaBox over 14,400 units,
whether or not longPagesInPoints was on.
Such a file is now written as PDF 1.6 with a UserUnit and a warning that
names the version, as PDF 1.5 files already are. PDF/A-2 files may declare
PDF 1.0 to 1.7. Pages past 32,767 pt that aren't whole numbers of points
are written too, since the refusal applies only to PDF 1.3 and 1.4 files.
Files whose pages are all 14,400 pt or shorter stay PDF 1.4.
New Color Group looked up and removed each named swatch with a scan of
every swatch list, so making a group from artwork linked to many global
swatches took time quadratic in their number. Delete Swatch, Move and
Merge did the same, and checked each paint's link against the name
list.
take_swatches now finds every named swatch in one pass and removes them
together, in the order and with the same choice of swatch as removing
them one at a time. The commands look names up in one name map and
check links against sets.
With 16,000 named swatches in a release build, New Color Group went from
175.9 ms to 16.3 ms; 4,000 went from 11.6 ms to 3.6 ms.
