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.
Object › Plug-ins › Cutting Tools › Stencil Bridges… (`addon.cutting.bridges`)
cuts strips of a set width out of the selected art so that a stencil cut
from it holds together: every island (the inside of an O, A or 8, a hole in
a shape) stays joined to the sheet, directly or through another island.
Bridges take the shortest crossings that fit first, then spread around each
island up to the count asked for, at least two widths apart. They run
vertically, horizontally or along the shortest crossing among 12
directions 15° apart.
- The art is measured by the area its outlines enclose, whatever their
paint, with hidden objects left out; type by its glyph outlines, without
converting the type. The result is one compound path with the strips cut
out, painted as the topmost selected shape with outlines, in the place of
the topmost selected object with outlines. Selected objects with no
outlines in the art stay where they are.
- Keep Original (on by default) moves the selected objects that make up the
art to a new hidden layer, Stencil Original; off replaces them.
- Art with no islands, or none a bridge of the width fits, is left as it is
with a message and no undo step. Islands the cut result still encloses
are counted in `unbridged`, with a message. Otherwise the run is one undo
step.
- Curves are followed within a twentieth of the width (0.002 to 0.25 pt).
Art that reaches more than 10000000 pt from the origin or has more than
200000 anchors is refused before it is combined. Art is also refused when
its combined area has more than 4000 outlines, when its outlines need
more than 200000 straight segments, or when placing the outlines or
joining every island takes more work than a fixed budget allows; when
the budget runs out while extra bridges are added, the bridges found so
far are kept.
Tests in vectorcraft-pathops, vectorcraft-engine and vectorcraft-ui-egui,
command_sweep cases, catalog rows in all 27 languages, docs/mcp.md, the
evidence list in docs/target-app-parity.md and the ROADMAP progress log.
Under --automation-read-root, prefs.get, prefs.list, prefs.set and
prefs.reset returned the folder preferences (fontsFolder, pluginsFolder,
scratchPrimary, scratchSecondary, recoveryFolder, templatesFolder) and
the export presets' folder even when they were outside the read roots.
Such a folder preference is now null, as ui.inspect leaves it out, and
such a preset's folder is left out. An empty folder and the scratch disk
choices stay; without roots the replies are unchanged.
Art Alt-dragged (Option-dragged on macOS) from the canvas onto a
scatter, art or pattern brush in the Brushes panel becomes its art
(brush.replaceArt). When strokes use the brush, the app checks the art
first, then a dialog offers Apply to Strokes, which redraws them with
the new art, Leave Strokes, which keeps the brush and its strokes as
they were and adds "<name> copy" with the new art as the current brush,
and Cancel. Each change is one undo step.
A pattern brush takes back the tile groups brush.placeArt places, frames
included, and takes other art as its side tile. Calligraphic and
bristle brushes, an empty selection and art with no width are refused.
Art Alt-dragged off the canvas now reaches the panels as the art the
drag started with. Before, the panels got the ids of the copy the drag
previews, which no longer exist once the release over a panel ends the
move.
brush.new now also measures a symbol instance in the selected art by its
symbol's art when it checks that the art has width.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
When a folder on the way to the Data Recovery folder was missing and
couldn't be made, or was a file, the error named the area folder or the
copy inside it, for example `<recovery>/1794385145-1: Not a directory
(os error 20)`. Errors on the store's folders and files now name the
first folder on the way, from the top, that is not a folder ("<path> is
not a folder: <OS error>") or is missing ("couldn't make <path>: <OS
error>" while the store makes it, "<path> is missing" otherwise). When
every folder on the way is there, the error names the folder or file it
happened on. When reading a folder reports it missing, listing checks
the folders on the way, so a file there is an error and not an empty
list.
A scatter, art or pattern brush dragged from the Brushes panel onto an
empty part of the canvas places a copy of its art there to edit,
centered where it is dropped (brush.placeArt). Dropped on a path, a
brush is still applied to it. A pattern brush is placed as its tiles in
a row, 10 pt apart, each in a group named for its tile, with an
unpainted rectangle at the back of a tile that has a repeat frame.
Calligraphic and bristle brushes have no art and are refused. A symbol
instance in the art is measured by its symbol's art.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
A filled open path wrote its outline as an open polyline, so with fill
hatches left out (and in R12, and in CNC / CAM) the area lost its closing
edge. Fill outlines now close each open subpath that can enclose an area;
strokes of the same path stay open.
document.exportForScreens without a folder writes into the folder its
exportPreset keeps. When that folder is outside the client's read roots
and the export fails, for example because the folder is also outside the
write roots, the error now names the folder by its name, as the reply of
a successful export leaves it out. A granted root in the same message
stays whole, and a folder the client gives stays whole in the error.
A manifest whose `commands` value is not a list, whose entry is not an
object, or whose command `id` or `label` is not a string was refused with
serde's own text ("invalid type: ..., expected command [0] as {id, label,
params?}"), and no catalog had rows for it or for the reader's other
`commands` messages. The reader now gives its own message for each of
these cases, and the complete-message catalogs translate them, together
with "missing field", "duplicate field" and the manifest prefix with its
line and column.
A save with Use Artboards writes a file per artboard beside the path. Each of them is now checked against the file the document was read from, before the first file is written, so a sibling cannot replace that file without acknowledgeLoss. The interface checks the files beside the path the same way.
docs/gaps.md, docs/file-format-parity.md and docs/ui-parity.md still
listed the CNC preset as open after #5500 added it. They now name DXF
Options' Preset menu and dxfPreset: "cnc" on document.exportDxf; VCarve
QA stays open. The ui-parity row also no longer lists native CIRCLE/ARC
export as pending.
An approval question that a control request, MCP, injected input, or a
file dialog one of them opened leads to now keeps OK disabled and
refuses every confirm, a person's click included. The dialog says to
choose Object › Plug-ins › Install Plug-in…, and ui.installPlugin answers
approval: "personMustStartInstall". The person's own Install Plug-in…,
File › Open or drop inspects the module again and asks a new question
with its half-second delay.
The origin is fixed when the request is made and goes with a native
file dialog's deferred answer and the web picker's answers, which now
arrive apart from drops and from window.vectorcraft.openFile (always
automation). A question about taking another module's place now opens
in the approval dialog, and automation's replace: true no longer skips
it. A module that needs no approval still installs at once.
- Outside Windows a `\` stays part of a hidden library's or sent path's
file name; another platform's absolute path is still split on `\`.
- A hidden relative path is matched after leading `./` and `../` parts
only when they start the path, so `/work/./data/icon.svg` keeps its
text.
- `ui.inspect` and `ui.docking` replies are hidden once, so a library
at the top of the file system shows as `loaded/<file name>` with its
separator.
Boxing the string receiver of a non-strict function flattens it, and reserving the copy can
collect. The callee, receiver and arguments are already off the stack at that point, so they
stay in the temporary roots until the frame holds them; before, an argument object could be
freed and its cell reused by the wrapper. new String(value) roots the converted string the
same way, so what the rope holds is still counted while its copy is reserved.
