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).
With downsampling on, each piece of an image bent by a Warp effect was
resampled for its own placed size, so a warp wrote one image XObject for
each size a piece was placed at (four for a 4 x 4 warp that stretches
across, eight for a colorized one with its soft masks). The pieces are
now resampled for the widest and the highest size any piece places the
image at, and all paint that one image. Pieces off the page count too,
and another placement of the same image keeps its own size.
Without downsampling, a colorized image and a CMYK image with a grid
mask no longer key their cache by placed size, so each is decoded and
encoded once for all the sizes it is placed at, as plain images are.
Object › Plug-ins › Cutting Tools › Banner Hems and Grommets…
(`addon.cutting.banner`) marks where a printed banner is hemmed and where
its grommets go. The banner is the bounds of the selected art, or each
artboard when nothing is selected. On each chosen side the command adds a
hem line a set depth inside the edge (1 in by default) and grommet marks a
set inset inside it (0.5 in): one at each end of the side and the rest
spread evenly, as few as keep them at most a set spacing apart (24 in). A
corner that two chosen sides share gets one grommet. Each grommet mark is a
circle (27 pt by default) with a cross through its center. The marks are
stroked in a chosen swatch ([Registration] by default) with no fill, in one
group named Banner Marks per banner on top of the current layer, selected,
as one undo step. While a clip group is edited in isolation, the group goes
outside the outermost clip group, as Weed Box and Lines does.
The command refuses every side off, no hem and no grommets, and bad params
with a message. It also refuses a hem or inset that reaches the far edge of
the banner when one of two opposite sides is chosen, or that meets the marks
of the opposite side when both are chosen, an inset of more than half a
chosen side's length, and more than 100000 grommets. The dialog has Preview.
The grommets' distance from the edge is `grommetInset`, so the dialog shows
it as Grommet Inset with its own catalog rows. The new Diameter catalog
rows also translate the Diameter field of the `shape.flare` command dialog,
which had no rows.

ROADMAP.
object.setLiveShape was in params::UNCHECKED, so a key it does not read,
such as `path`, ran the command with the key ignored. Its description
names every key it reads, so it now goes through check_keys like other
commands, for MCP, scripts and command.batch steps. Each of `items` takes
`id` and `corners` alone; another key is refused as
`items[0].corner`, with the nearest accepted key. Saved steps still
replay leniently.
A `sides` that is not a whole number from 3 to 1000 (2.5, -1, 2, 1001)
and a negative `radius` are now errors naming the key, and leave the
document and its undo history as they were; a radius of 0 still
removes rounding. The Transform panel's Sides field takes 3 to 1000,
the Corners dialog's radius field stops at 0, and the panels' corner
radius fields send 0 for a negative value typed in.
Spot Color Objects listed every spot color linked from a gradient's stops
once any stop was above opacity 0. A spot stop at opacity 0 between other
clear stops, at the end of the ramp after a clear stop, or meeting an
opaque stop only at one offset was listed though it prints no ink, and so
was an opaque stop out of order whose pairs have no width.
A stop now counts when it bounds a stretch of some width that the
gradient sampler mixes and either stop of that stretch is above opacity
0, or when it is the first or last stop and above opacity 0, since those
color the offsets before and after the others. Stops in any order are
judged by the stretches the sampler uses. A freeform gradient keeps the
old rule, since it draws from its points. Type runs follow the same rule.
The document.info params text, docs/mcp.md and the progress line
describe it.
In a PDF without a standard, the warning for a page longer than 14,400 pt
written with a UserUnit above 1 now ends with "turn on Write pages longer
than 200 in at full size in points". The warning already said that apps
ignoring UserUnit show such a page smaller; it now names the Save PDF
option that writes the page at its size in points instead. PDF/A files,
which keep the UserUnit with the option on, and .ai saves, whose options
do not have it, keep the warning as it was.
The longer message has a row in every complete-message catalog. The
params text of document.exportPdf, docs/mcp.md and the evidence line in
docs/target-app-parity.md describe it.
object.distort warped the anchors of paths, groups, compound paths and
clip groups but left their bounding-box angle as it was, so a rotated
path kept its old box after a warp and an upright one stayed square to
the page however far the warp tilted it. Text, images and symbol
instances already took the angle of the warp's affine approximation.
- Each path, group, compound path and clip group now takes the angle
the warp turns its x axis to at its own center before the warp, the
members of a warped group and the art of a linked opacity mask each
at their own. An unlinked mask's art keeps its angle. Mirroring keeps
the nearer angle and a collapsing warp keeps the old one. Reset
Bounding Box squares the boxes again.
- Each subtree's bounds are measured once while it is warped.
- Corners that equal the corners of the box being warped change
nothing and add no undo step.

A fill or stroke row that the Appearance commands gave a graph label, its
object opacity, and the characters the Eyedropper gave it lasted only
until the graph was drawn again: the graph stored nothing for a label's
rows, and the Eyedropper's character attributes were not stored.
- The graph keeps, for value axis numbers, category labels and legend
labels, the paint, weight, opacity and blend mode of a label's topmost
visible fill and stroke row, their order and place relative to the
Characters row, and the label's object opacity and blend mode
(labelStyles valuesRows, categoriesRows, legendRows). Every label of
the kind gets those rows when the graph is drawn again, with a placed
gradient fitted to each label.
- Every appearance.* command stores them, and so do graphicStyle.apply
and redefine and the paint, stroke, gradient and transparency edits
aimed at a row, even when the label already showed them.
transparency.set without a row and object.setProps store only the
object opacity and blend mode. With several labels of a kind, the last
one edited wins.
- appearance.copyFrom onto all of a label's text stores the character
attributes it applied and, from type, the paragraph attributes; a
transparency pick stores the object opacity and blend mode, and
append stores the rows.
- paint.setFill and paint.setStroke store a character fill or stroke
only when the characters take the paint (the whole label, or all of
its text highlighted with the Type tool); aimed at a row, they store
the row.
- Document Color Mode and swatch edits reach the kept rows.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, the commands' params text, docs/target-app-parity.md.
tool.setOption for the Live Paint Bucket, the Live Paint Selection tool
and the Shape Builder used to keep the old value when a switch was not
true or false, a color could not be read or a width or gap length was
not a number, and it set the other values sent with it. It also took
the RGB of a color with an alpha part, and the Shape Builder took any
`pickColorFrom` other than `swatches` as `artwork` and any `selection`
other than `straightLine` as `freeform`.
The command now checks every value before it sets any, whether the tool
is chosen or not: a switch must be true or false, a highlight color
must be an RGB color or a layer color's name without an alpha part, a
width or gap length must be a number, `pickColorFrom` and `selection`
must be one of their names, and an option the tool does not have is an
error. The error names the option, and nothing is set or saved. A width
outside 1 to 20 and a gap length outside 0 to 72 are still clamped, and
saved settings with an invalid value still load.

- The clipping path of a clip group or a clipped layer takes no part,
the members of a compound clipping path included. Before, only a
plain clipping path was left out.
- In isolation mode only paths inside the isolated object are trimmed;
paths outside it still count as crossing.
- A rectangle or line that reaches so many paths that comparing their
boxes would take more than 50,000,000 tests is refused before any
work starts.
- A tool drag that goes 3 screen pixels or more from the press stays a
rectangle or line when it ends near the press. Before, it ran as a
click and could remove a whole path the final rectangle did not
touch.

With Enable Touch Gestures on, a two-finger tap on the canvas undid and a
three-finger tap redid even while a modal dialog was open, and in the Touch
workspace a two-finger tap switched modes behind it. Fingers already down
when a dialog opened could still complete a tap when they lifted, during
the dialog or after it closed.
While a modal is open, from the frame it opens:
- no finger tap runs a command and no multi-finger gesture begins; the
fingers already down are forgotten, so lifting them later runs nothing
- a primary press does not reach the tool, a middle-button press does not
start a pan, and a double-click does nothing
- a long touch does not drop the canvas press
- a click in Presentation Mode does not step to the next artboard
- a pinch, wheel turn or trackpad rotation does not move the view, and the
rest of a wheel turn made under the dialog is dropped after it closes;
a new wheel turn after the dialog closes moves the view at once

Brushes, Spot Color Objects, Pattern Objects and Gradient Objects left
out a fill or stroke that was hidden or at an opacity of 0, but still
listed an object that was itself hidden or at an opacity of 0, and the
objects inside such a group or layer. They now leave those out, their
characters' paints and colorized images included. With Selection Only,
an object selected inside a hidden group or layer, or one at an
opacity of 0, is left out too. Objects still counts every object.
