The Stroke panel menu's Edit Arrowheads… (stroke.arrowheads.edit) opens
Arrowheads.vectorcraft next to the preferences, creating it with one
example head when it is missing. Each symbol in the file is one head,
listed by name after the built-in heads in both arrowhead menus: it
points right, its registration point is the tip, and its height is drawn
as wide as the built-in heads. The file is read at startup and again
each time VectorCraft saves it; stroke.arrowheads.reload and
stroke.arrowheads.list read and list it.
Arrowhead gets a Custom variant, appended after the built-in names, that
carries the head's name and outline, so a document that uses one draws,
saves, reopens and exports it without the arrowheads file. stroke.set
takes {"custom": name} or the {"Custom": {name, path}} form that
document.inspect reports.
Part of #5421.
Convert To Point Type left Dynamic Text on when it turned Block area
type into point type. Point type has no Dynamic Text, but the flag was
saved, and converting the type back to area type turned Block on again
and fitted the lines to the new frame. The conversion now turns it off;
the point type keeps the sizes and leading Block wrote into the
characters, and the conversion is still one undo step.
- A name may hold \u{...} escapes with any number of hexadecimal digits
up to U+10FFFF. An empty, unclosed, out-of-range or surrogate escape is
not part of a name. Each \u{...} escape read in a name is reported as
syntax newer than ES3, with the escape as written.
- # followed by an escaped name start is one private name, also in the
code of an XML literal, and its escapes are read in the report
(this.#app is #app).
- A # and a name at the start of a line is a private name, not a
directive, when the name starts with an escape, or when the line is
inside braces and the name is not a directive's. A private name whose
decoded name would make the line a directive is reported as written.
- The identifier test against vectorcraft-js also compares braced
escapes.

draw_shape's rotation also turns rectangles and ellipses; object.reflect's numeric axis is counter-clockwise from horizontal. A test covers that axis and the Scatter brush's rotation range, which every_turn_param_says_which_way_it_turns can't reach.
The hover lists up to 30 notes, fewer when the window is small, and says how many were left out. The docs and command description said it lists them all.
Window > 3D and Materials > Quick Actions > Expand as Wireframes, and the
command effect.expandAsWireframes, replace each selected object that has a
visible 3D effect (Extrude & Bevel, Extrude & Bevel (Classic), Revolve,
Inflate or Rotate) with a group of paths: the edges of the faces the effect
draws for the object as it is turned and projected now.
- Each edge appears once. Edges that meet end to end form one path, closed
where it comes back to its start, and curved edges stay curves. Geometry
effects after the 3D effect reshape the edges as they reshape the drawn
surface.
- The paths have a 0.5 pt black stroke with round joins and no fill. The
group keeps the object's id, name, transparency, attributes, slice and
text wrap, and is selected. A layer stays a layer holding the edges.
- It is one undo step. Nothing selected, no visible 3D effect, a solid that
can't be built or is drawn as its source art, or more than 1,000,000 edges
in one object is an error, and the document does not change.

Fixes#6354
Window › Swatch Libraries › Patterns and the Swatches panel's library
menu gain a second built-in pattern library, Grit Textures, with eight
black textures on square grid tiles of 18 to 36 pt: Fine Grain, Coarse
Grit, Sand, Speckle, Stipple, Scratches, Sparse Flecks and Dense Flecks.
Each is drawn in code from a fixed seed, so it is the same every time.
Marks that reach past a tile edge are drawn on the next tile by the
tiling, so the tiles join without a seam.

The check that a PDF/X-1a or PDF/X-3 file has no transparency read names
in literal strings and comments as syntax. The file identifier is a
base64 hash of the file, so a file could now and then hold `/BM` or
`/Lab` there and its export was refused as having blend modes or Lab
colors. The check now leaves out the text of literal strings and
comments as well as stream data.
Window › Swatch Libraries › Gradients gains Organic Fades, a gradient
library of fifteen fades (ten linear, five radial). Each runs through
three to five unevenly spaced stops with off-center midpoints, mixes
with the Perceptual method, and thins out to transparent at the end of
a linear fade or at the edge of a radial one. The colors are computed
from VectorCraft's own OKLCH anchors.
The library also lists in the Swatches panel's library menu, in
swatch.library.list (category "gradients") and in the Gradient panel's
Presets. swatch.library.add keeps each fade's stops, opacities,
midpoints and method in RGB and CMYK documents.
The other built-in libraries are unchanged: their gradients still mix
with Classic and keep centered midpoints, and a test checks it.
- Gradient previews in the Swatch Libraries panel, the Gradient
panel's Presets menu, swatch tiles and the toolbar drew every stop
opaque. Each chip vertex now takes the sampled opacity as its alpha
(freeform points too), and a chip with any translucent vertex draws
a white and gray checkerboard under the gradient. Opaque gradients
draw as before.
- When the preferences are applied, a saved gradient preset whose name
matches a built-in preset, or an earlier saved preset, in any case,
is renamed to the first free "<name> N" (N from 2), so a saved
preset named like a new built-in fade stays listed and can be
applied and deleted.
In distance mode, each pixel took a square root for every background color.
The nearest color is now found by squared distance, and only that distance is
converted to a percentage. The levels do not change.
- the relational operators root both strings while flattening them, so the first copy still counts when the second one starts a collection
- join roots its separator for the whole join and each element while it is written, and JSON.stringify roots a string while it writes it
- a String object flattens its string when it is made, with the copy counted, so reading one of its characters copies nothing
Window > Brush Libraries > Dry Media (`dry-media`) holds four art brushes:
Chalk Grain, Graphite Pencil, Wax Crayon and Charcoal Dust. Each is 100 pt
of filled vector paths generated from a fixed seed with integer steps and
plain arithmetic, at most 80 paths and 500 anchors, stretched along the
path with Tints colorization. The chalk and crayon art has even-odd gaps
cut out of its band.
The names, sizes and art are VectorCraft's own. A new i18n test checks
that every complete catalog names each built-in brush library.
The Blend panel gets a Create Spine menu (Auto, Always, Never) under Make,
and object.blend.createSpine {mode?} sets or reads it. It is kept with the
preferences, is not an undo step and leaves blends already made as they are.
object.blend.make takes createSpine to choose for one new blend.
Auto and Always give every new blend a straight spine, as before. Never
makes a blend without one: its steps sit where a straight spine puts them,
object.blend.info reports hasSpine: false, easing is refused and dimmed,
Reverse Spine and the spine point commands refuse it, Release gives back
no spine path, and Replace Spine gives it a spine. A blend taking more keys
keeps whether it has a spine. Native files save noSpine; older files open
with their spines.

The Graphic Styles library menu lists nine libraries. Painted and
Sketched follows Hand-Drawn and holds Washed Blue, Bristle Ochre,
Pastel Heather, Charcoal Shade, Ink Contour, Wet Ink and Fine Pen. Each
style is a solid fill, two with a 1 pt stroke, under one watercolor,
dry brush, rough pastels, charcoal, ink outlines, sumi-e or graphic pen
effect with every setting given. The library and style names have rows
in all 27 catalogs, and docs/mcp.md describes the library.
DXF Options gets Include Placed Images and Include Fill Hatches, and
document.exportDxf and document.export {format: dxf} take
includeImages and includeHatches. Both are VectorCraft's own options
and default to true, so Custom exports write what they wrote before.
- includeImages: false writes no IMAGE entity, IMAGEDEF, reactor or
linked file for a placed image, and does not decode its pixels.
- includeHatches: false writes each filled area's outlines without the
solid HATCH after them.
- Each adds one note to warnings when it left something out. R12,
which has neither, keeps its own notes.
- The CNC / CAM preset sets both to false, so its drawing holds the
cutting paths alone; the options given still override it, and
changing either checkbox shows Custom.

Affinity: read native documents with craft-affinity from craft-libs
* Affinity: read native documents with craft-affinity from craft-libs
crates/affinity's reader moved to craft-libs as craft-affinity (#914).
The crate keeps its name and re-exports it, so the engine, the corpus
tests and fuzz targets, and the Affinity corpus CI job are unchanged.
Its integration tests take craft-libs' versions; the one signature that
changes is patchy-shapes-2.af, whose special shapes now have outlines.
* Affinity: pin craft-affinity to craft-libs 228f6d0c (no change to the crate)
cached_frames_keep_their_scale_during_resize_rotation_and_dpi_changes
delivered the worker's frame with a 1 ms render time. The canvas key
carries the process-wide placed-document generation, so when another
test in the same run made a placed bitmap between the delivery and the
next frame, the key no longer matched. With a 1 ms last frame, the next
frame rendered on the UI thread over the delivered one, and the
"the worker's frame arrived" assertion failed.
The delivered frame now reports 50 ms, as the frames before it do, so a
moved generation queues the next frame on the controlled worker and the
delivered frame stays shown.
drop_left forgot a copy in an area the session left before removing it, so a copy whose removal failed (the area read-only for a moment) could later be offered back to the same session as a crash's copy. The entry now stays until both files are removed, and the next heartbeat tries again.
ui.pointer and the headless pointer call read a pointer event's pressure,
holdMs, tiltX, tiltY and rotation with a default for any value that was not a
number, and treated any space other than screen as document space. Each event
is now checked before the packet runs: those values must be numbers and space
must be doc or screen, with null keeping the default. docs/mcp.md says so.
xml.xpath(expression[, variables]) evaluates an XPath 1.0 expression
(https://www.w3.org/TR/1999/REC-xpath-19991116/) with the XML value as
the context node and returns the selected nodes as an XMLList, in
document order and without repeats. On an XMLList the expression runs
on each element in turn, and the results are joined.
- All 13 axes and the 27 core functions. id() selects nothing, since
E4X trees carry no DTD data.
- Each property of `variables` binds the variable of its name. A
prefix in a name test resolves through the context element's
in-scope namespaces; `xml` is always bound.
- An expression that breaks the grammar gives a SyntaxError. An
unknown function, a wrong argument count, an unbound prefix or
variable, a result that is not a node-set, and a result that holds
the root or a namespace node give a TypeError.
- The parser and the evaluator keep their state on their own stacks,
so expressions of any depth use no native stack; nesting past
Options::max_depth gives "nesting too deep". Traversal stacks, node
lists, strings and the values that string functions build count
against the heap limit, and every node visited and string read takes
fuel.

Convert to Artboards found the highest artboard id twice for each object it
converted: once for the new artboard's name and once in
Document::next_artboard_id. Converting N objects read about N^2 artboards.
The command now keeps the highest id as it adds artboards, and
Document::next_artboard_id_above gives the next id from it. When an artboard
has id u32::MAX, it falls back to next_artboard_id, which takes the smallest
free id. The ids and names it gives are unchanged.
The fuel and heap checks for a host evaluator's source were split into a third
before encoding and the rest after, so a source whose whole UTF-16 text did not
fit in the heap could still be encoded and parsed. The whole encoded size is now
reserved before encoding. A source over the source limit is still refused as a
syntax error.
A save or an export with several notes named only the first of them in
the status bar, with the count, and the others could not be seen. The
status bar now keeps every note of a save or an export for the status
message's hover, as it does for an open's notes since #6752: resting
the pointer on the message lists them in the order the reply gives them
(a save's notes start with what the format loses), and screen readers
receive the list after the message. The status text is unchanged.
This covers Save, Save As, Save a Copy, Save as Template, Save a
Timestamped Copy, Save as PDF, Export As, Export Selection, Export for
Screens, Asset Export, Save for Web, Preview in Browser, Save for Office
Documents, Text Export Options, a print to a file and the CSS Properties
panel's export. The open, the saves and the exports read a reply's notes
through one helper.

VectorCraft could open and place HP-GL plot files but not write them,
so art for a pen plotter or a vinyl cutter had to go through another
program.
Export As, document.export and Export Selection now write HP-GL.
vectorcraft_cad::hpgl::export draws each visible path once along its
own line: a filled shape is its closed outline and a stroked path its
center line. Type is drawn as glyph outlines, a gradient mesh as its
outline, and a symbol instance as its art with its effects and the
instance's stain. Clipping masks cut the art they clip, and the art is
cut at the artboard's edges. Hidden and non-printing layers, hidden objects,
objects at 0% opacity, template layers, guides and placed images are
left out. Coordinates are plotter units (1016 to the inch, y up) from
the artboard's bottom-left corner or its center, and art more than
8,388,607 units from the origin is cut off.
Each color is a pen, in the order the plot first draws in it (up to
255), or a pen table maps each path to the pen of the nearest color.
With Use Artboards every file of the export uses the same numbering.
The pens draw in turn, each in paint order or, with sortPaths, nearest
path first. Curves are flattened to curveTolerance (0.1 pt by default).
hpglVersion "hpgl" writes IN, SP, PU and PD; "hpgl2" also writes the
palette (NP, PC) and each pen's paths as one encoded polyline (PE).
Options are checked, and Export As writes the file with the defaults.
Plots read back by the HP-GL reader give the same lines.
