A .ai whose editing copy for other apps holds no transparency, while the VectorCraft document it carries holds 50% opacity, opens in VectorCraft with the opacity of the VectorCraft document. Read with native: false, the same file gives the editing copy.
The color sliders now mark the row they edit with `model: "new"`
instead of a dialog-wide flag, and `recolor.apply` reads a row's own
`model` before the command's. Rows the sliders did not edit keep each
color's model, so with RGB art and a CMYK color group, a slider edit of
one row no longer turns the other rows' art CMYK. Another edit of the
row's new color, Reset and rows reduced again remove the mark, and
`recolor.randomize` moves it with its new color.
A wheel drag or a harmony rule on the Edit tab now removes a row's tint
when it gives the row another new color, as the color sliders, the hex
field and the Color Picker already do. With Limit to Library, an edit
that snaps back to the row's own color keeps the tint.
recolor.randomize moves each row's tint with its new color when it
shuffles the order, and removes the tint from a color that saturation
and brightness changes.
The Assign tab gets a Color Mode menu (HSB, RGB, CMYK, Lab, and Tint when
the row's new color is a spot color of the Limit to Library library) and
its sliders under the rows. They edit the first selected row's new color
and are disabled with no row selected. Once they have edited a color in a
mode, the preview and OK send recolor.apply with model "new", so the art
takes the color in that mode.
recolor.apply rows take an optional tint (percent, default 100): art linked
to the row's global or spot library swatch takes that share of its tint.
recolor.randomize keeps a row's tint.
The Paragraph panel menu (with the East Asian options) gains Kinsoku Shori
Type, and text.setFormat takes kinsokuType. Where the Kinsoku Set keeps a
character off the start of the next line or the end of this one, Push In
First sets it on the line and closes the line's gaps next to CJK
characters to fit, each by at most a tenth of an em of the character
before it; a line that cannot close up that much, or that holds a tab,
pushes out. With Optical Margin Alignment or Roman Hanging Punctuation
on, the gaps that hanging punctuation keeps open are not counted. Push
Out First pushes in only when pushing out would leave the line more than
an em short. Push Out Only, the default, is the line breaking area type
had before, so existing documents lay out unchanged. The setting does
nothing with Kinsoku Set None, is saved only when it is not Push Out
Only, and paragraph styles carry it. Reset Panel sets it back to Push
Out Only.

The PDF pages of a .ai draw each artboard's background color (Include
Artboard Fill, on by default), but the editing copy of the art left it
out, so the two differed and the file reopened from its PDF part. The
editing copy now takes the same option.
Object > Plug-ins > Color Effects > Find Nearest Swatch... picks a
library (the document's swatches, a built-in library, or a library or
colour book the user saved or loaded) and Fill and Stroke, and lists
each colour of the selection with its three closest swatches and their
CIEDE2000 difference. Apply gives each colour its nearest swatch as one
undo step.
- addon.color.nearestSwatch (a query): the closest swatches of a
library to each colour of the selection's fills and strokes (solid
colours and gradient stops, inside groups and type), or to a colour
given, with deltaE; count 1..50.
- addon.color.applyNearestSwatch: recolours those paints (and gradient
meshes) to their nearest swatch; global and spot swatches link, and a
library's swatches the colours take are added to the document first
(as swatch.library.add adds them), so a spot colour stays spot.
- The library picker Image Trace's Document Library uses moves to the
Swatches panel module and is shared.
- No colour book data ships: only libraries VectorCraft computes or the
user loads are searched.
Each format's copy options are given in full, so no remembered option
applies: PDF and .ai copies write every page (range all), SVG copies
the art of every artboard in one file (useArtboards false), native,
.ai and EPS copies include linked files' data.
Each copy is saved with images embedded and artboards together, so a
document last saved with linked SVG images writes no image files beside
its copy; any other file a save reports is reserved for the copies still
to come.
A Perceptual linear or radial gradient that mixes spot colors with each
other or with CMYK or gray stops was written as an image in process
colors. It is now written as a DeviceN shading of its inks, with the
stops on its Perceptual curve: at each one, the inks of the two stops on
either side are mixed at the weight where the two colors mixed in
display RGB have the OKLab lightness of the color on the curve.
- Gradient::ink_mixes gives the curve's stops as weights between stops,
under the same 4,096-stop limit as ink_tints.
- Perceptual gradients that mix a spot color with RGB or Lab stops,
dithered fills and freeform gradients stay images, and the warning
now names those cases.
Baseline shift now moves a character in the line's frame, outside
Character Rotation, so a positive shift moves a character up from its
line at any rotation, and the character turns about its shifted pen
position. The Touch Type tool splits a drag into its part along the line
(kerning) and its part up from the line (baseline shift) at every
rotation; before, within about 6 degrees of a quarter turn it dropped
the cross-line part.
Characters that already combine a rotation with a baseline shift are
drawn in a new position. Their stored values do not change.
- text: glyph transform order, PositionedGlyph::pivot (the turning
point), tab leaders in the same order
- tools: Touch Type splits drags against the line's up axis and measures
rotate-handle turns about the shifted pen position
- engine: text.touchType description; dy is up from the line
- docs: mcp.md Touch Type paragraph, target-app-parity.md progress line
The Character panel's All Caps, Underline and Strikethrough buttons, and
its menu's All Caps, Underline, Strikethrough, Proportional Metrics,
Tate-chu-yoko and No Break, read the first selected character's style.
With only some characters marked they could show on, and choosing one
turned the attribute off for every character. They now show on only
when every selected character has the attribute, and a click on a mixed
selection turns it on for all, as Small Caps and Standard Vertical Roman
Alignment do. type.underline (Cmd+Shift+U) underlines a mixed selection
the same way. The Character Alignment and Digits submenus check no item
while the selected characters differ.
text.setFormat ignored a value that was not true or false for underline,
strikethrough, allCaps, proportionalMetrics, tateChuYoko,
standardVerticalRoman, noBreak, hyphenate, hyphenateCapitalized and
romanHangingPunctuation. It now refuses it with "`<key>` must be true or
false" and changes nothing, as text.setRangeStyle does.
A .ai saved with pdfCompatible false warned that other apps show empty
pages, also when the file carries the editing copy of its art. With the
editing copy the warning now says that apps that read its editing data
open it; with editingData false it is unchanged.
LoadOptions::is_partial now counts native off. A PDF saved with Preserve
Editing and opened from its pages instead of the document it carries kept
its save path, so Save wrote over the file and dropped that document.
Save now asks for a name, as for a page range or another box.
The installed memory that sizes the image cache and the undo history is
now the lower of MemTotal and the memory limit of the process's cgroups
and their ancestors (memory.max under cgroup v2, memory.limit_in_bytes
under v1), looked up under the cgroup mounts in /proc/self/mountinfo. A
file that holds max or can't be read sets no limit.
addon.document.exportAllOpen {folder, format?} writes a copy of every
open document to one folder as Save a Copy does, each named after its
document with taken names numbered so no file is replaced. Documents
keep their paths and modified state, the active one stays active, and a
document that can't be written is reported while the others are still
written. Object > Plug-ins > Document Tools gets Export All Open
Documents as PDF and as SVG, which ask for the folder.
With View > Show Bounding Box on, a resize by a bounding-box handle
keeps the box and its handles drawn at the bounds the drag gives. A
move, a rotation and a corner-radius drag still hide the box until the
release (#712).
With Real-time Drawing off the document stays at the drag's snapshot,
so the box is measured from the drag's pending preview, through the
same cache as the deferred outlines.
Character panel menu > Standard Vertical Roman Alignment, with Show East
Asian Options, is now a check item. It sets a new character attribute,
`standardVerticalRoman` (text.setFormat, text.setRangeStyle), off by
default and saved only when on. In vertical type the marked Latin
letters, digits and other characters that would lie on their side stand
upright one below the other, each in its upright cell. Spaces keep their
width and tate-chu-yoko blocks stay across the column. Horizontal type
keeps the mark and does not change. A combining mark shaped as its own
glyph turns with its letter, in Latin and CJK upright type alike.
Character Style Options labels the Character Alignment row "Character
Alignment" and gives Standard Vertical Roman Alignment its own checkbox.
Reset Panel turns the attribute off. PDF and SVG export place the glyphs
from the layout and need no change.
A Perceptual linear or radial gradient was always written as an image,
so a gradient of spot ink tints lost its plate, and no warning named the
spot ink.
PDF export now writes a Perceptual gradient whose stops are tints of one
spot color (and paper white) as a Separation shading in that ink. Its
tints follow the gradient's curve: at each stop the renderer places on
the curve, the tint with the OKLab lightness of the color there.
Dithered fills, freeform gradients and Perceptual gradients that mix a
spot color with other colors are still images, and the export now warns
when such a gradient has stops linked to a spot swatch that its spot
colors are written in process colors.
Make Opacity Mask expands a layer among its targets to the art that can
be edited: an object in a sublayer of a hidden or locked layer, or on a
locked artboard, is neither the mask nor masked, so it stays where it is.
Make Opacity Mask took the topmost target as the mask. When that target was
a layer (a targeted layer above the art, or `ids` ending in a layer id), the
whole layer was removed from the layer tree and became the mask art. A layer
on top now stands for its visible, unlocked art, as a layer below the mask
already does: its topmost object is the mask and the rest of its art is
masked with the art below. A top layer with no such art is refused and the
document is left unchanged.
symbol.delete {names} expands every instance of the named symbols,
round by round, before it removes any definition, so a symbol and the
one placed inside it delete alike in either order. The Symbols panel's
picks belong to the document they were made in, and a single picked
symbol is deleted only while symbol.unused still lists it.
symbol.unused lists the symbols nothing places: instances in the art
(opacity masks included), graph designs, pattern tiles and brush art
count, and so do instances in a used symbol's art. The Symbols panel
menu's Select All Unused shows them selected, and Delete Symbol asks
once and deletes those still unused in one undo step
(symbol.delete {names}).
A 16-bit piece holding half of a UTF-16 surrogate pair was placed with
U+FFFD in its place; the document is now refused. A pair split between
two pieces is decoded as one character.
A field with no result (no separator, never ended, or nested past 64)
is left out with its own warning, and the warning about fields placed
as their results is given only for fields that have one.
File > Place reads a Word 97-2003 document (a compound file named .doc,
or one that holds a WordDocument stream) and sets its main text as area
type, as it does for .rtf and .docx files. The text comes from the
piece table, in 16-bit Unicode or compressed 8-bit pieces. Formatting
is resolved from the style sheet's default font, the paragraph style,
the character style and the direct character and paragraph properties,
and keeps the same properties the .docx reader maps.
Table cells are separated by tabs and each row is a paragraph, and a
field places as its result. Hidden and deleted text, pictures, headers,
footers, notes, comments and text boxes are left out, and the reply's
warnings name each kind of content left out or changed once. Word 6.0
and Word 95 documents, encrypted documents and documents last saved
with fast save are refused, and so are structures that lie outside
their streams.
The compound file is read with the cfb crate (MIT), which adds one
package to Cargo.lock.
Cmd/Ctrl held with the Pen lends the last-used selection tool (Direct
Selection until one is chosen), which already moved anchors, straight
segments and curves of the path being drawn, one undo step each, and
handed the path back to the Pen.
With the Selection tool used last, the lent tool hit-tested the
bounding box even though the canvas hides it while anchors are selected
on their own, as the end anchor of a path being drawn is. Over the
path it showed a resize pointer, and the drag scaled the path by a
handle nobody could see: a flat path did nothing at all.
The Selection tool's handles now take the pointer only while the box is
shown (View > Show Bounding Box, no anchors selected on their own), so
the lent Selection tool moves the path being drawn.
Tests: select::tests::hidden_box_handles_take_no_press_while_anchors_are_selected,
tests::draw2::pen_cmd_drag_edits_anchors_and_segments_and_goes_on_drawing.
