- object.expand.info reports no gradient or fill to expand for a
gradient that repeats in more runs across its box than are written,
matching object.expand, which leaves it a gradient. For a path that a
painting live effect draws, it measures each piece the effect returns.
- CSS writes a repeating gradient's stop positions, and a repeating
radial gradient's radius, with enough decimals that their rounding
adds up to at most a hundredth of a period across the box (at least
four for positions and three for the radius).
- docs/mcp.md says that sharp steps and swatch-linked stops are the last
to be left out rather than always kept, and that the CSS conic limit
counts stops before midpoints and Perceptual curves add more.
- A Learn link that locates a tool on a toolbar made with New Toolbar
brings that toolbar to the front once before its button is marked, so
another floating toolbar no longer covers the mark. A group torn off
into a strip still brings the strip to the front instead.
- A docked flyout whose rows are taller than the window scrolls them, and
a Learn link scrolls the located row into view before marking it. The
mark is clipped to the rows' view.
Color and Grayscale traces smoothed a gray photo before choosing its
colors, but a tinted photo with the same tones skipped smoothing: the
0.065 error rule applied only to pictures whose channels stay within 8
levels of each other. A picture whose opaque pixels lie, 19 in 20, within
6 levels of one tone curve now takes the same rule. The curve runs
through the median color of each 8-level stretch along the colors' main
direction, and a pixel on it must also lie within 6 levels of the plane
the colors spread along most, so art in several unrelated colors is not
counted. The sixteen-versus-eight exception still keeps clean flat art
on the flat-art route.
When a repeated or reflected gradient needs more stops than a limit
allows, each run now leaves out the stops that change its colors
least, so every run is still written, instead of writing fewer runs
and padding the rest with the last color. Each run keeps its ends,
sharp steps, swatch-linked stops, tint and CMYK ink changes and spans
shaped by an off-center midpoint, and the colors are compared as the
gradient's method mixes them. This applies to gradients along or across
a stroke, CSS conic gradients, and PDF, EPS and .ai export.
- Outline Stroke's mesh fits the gradient to at most 1,024 stops, and
splits a stroke into several meshes when one would hold more than
2^20 points.
- Object > Expand leaves a gradient as it is when the box needs more
than 256 runs, instead of expanding only the first runs.
- CSS writes the stop positions of repeating gradients with four
decimals, so the period stays in place across the box.
- A swatch chip of a gradient that repeats gets at least four grid
cells a run along each side (at most one a point, and 128), so it
does not show one color when the count matches the chip's cells.
- docs/mcp.md states the stop limits and the PDF import sample budget.
a_shadow_on_each_fill_a_painted_effect_returns_follows_the_transform_after_it
installed test.engine.twofills, which
a_second_painted_effect_on_a_fill_keeps_the_piece_s_other_fills also
installs with a different module. Installed plug-ins are kept for the
whole test process, so running the two tests in parallel could run one
test's effect with the other's module. The test now installs
test.engine.shadowedfills.
Single Word Justification adds no space inside an inseparable pair. A
right-to-left line draws the second half's cluster before the first half,
with the cluster's glyphs in logical order, so a dash followed by a
combining mark puts the mark next to the first dash. The pair is now found
from the two neighboring clusters instead of neighboring glyph indices.
Effects apply in the order they are listed, so an effect listed after a
Transform effect applies to the art the Transform effect made, at its
own values, as an object's later effects do after the object's
Transform effect. With Scale Strokes & Effects on, a fill's or stroke's
own Transform effect scaled the effects listed after it in that fill's
or stroke's list by the mean scale: a 300% Transform turned a 5 pt
Offset Path after it into a 15 pt one, and a Drop Shadow after it took
three times its offset. With Transform Patterns or Scale Strokes &
Effects on, an SVG filter after it also had the origin of its user space
moved.
- The effects after such a Transform effect now keep their values, on
the transformed art and on each copy, on every fill and stroke a
live-effect plug-in paints the piece with, and when the copies are
counted against the effect budget.
- With Transform Objects off, the effects before it keep their values
too.
- The Transform params text, docs/target-app-parity.md and docs/gaps.md
describe the rule, and drop the note that listed an object's later
effects keeping their distances as a shortfall.
With logoColors named, Flat Logo measured how flat the image is against
the named colors. A solid pixel counts as flat only within 22 (RGB
distance) of one of those colors or white. Flat art whose named colors
were 20 levels off in every channel was refused as not flat, and the
refusal score of a gradient changed with the names.
The check now uses the image's own colors, found the same way as when
no colors are named. It looks for as many colors as are named, with
white, or as the Colors setting gives, whichever is more. How far the named colors are
from the image's colors no longer changes whether the image is refused.
This changes one existing behavior: an image with large areas of a
color that was not named used to be refused, and it is now traced in
the named colors.

imageTrace.make params text.
A process color can't colorize a grayscale image that has an alpha channel,
and paint.setFill refuses that combination. Remove Background gave such an
image an alpha channel and kept its process colorize color. It now refuses
the run, changing nothing, when an image it is given is gray and colorized
with a process color. It checks this before any image is decoded. Another
image in the document that already has that combination does not affect a
run on other images. Black, white and spot colors still colorize the result.
The rule check_colorized applies to each image is now one function,
paint::gray_colorized_with_process, which both checks call.
