A gradient vector drawn on the art, a click that applies one, and the
dragged start and end handles snapped through snap_draw, which gathers
the bounds and anchors of the art only. Path segments, View › Snap to
Glyph's guides and the construction guides through the vector's start
did not pull them, and a click applied the gradient from the pointer
rather than from the snapped point. They now snap through DrawSnap, as
the Pen and Line Segment tools do:
- The press gathers the targets, for a vector drawn on the art and the
start and end handles only, and the drag keeps them. A click applies
the gradient from the snapped press.
- A dragged end or handle leaves its start as a Line Segment's end does:
it lands on the construction guides through the start, and with Shift
it keeps to 45° steps from the Constrain Angle and snaps along them.
- The pointer hovering where a press would draw a vector (anywhere with
art selected, over art with nothing selected), and not over the
annotator, shows the guides of the point the vector would start on.
A press that snaps onto a nearby target no longer starts the drag
early: the 3 px drag threshold counts from where the pointer was
pressed, not from the snapped start.
A graph keeps paints for its series and labels, and character and
paragraph style names for its labels, which each redraw gives the
marks and labels. Copy did not follow them, so a graph pasted into
another document left those swatches and styles behind, and a paste
that renamed them left the graph pointing at the old names.
Copy now collects them and paste relinks them, as it does for type.
Paste without Formatting drops the labels' style names, so it still
leaves text styles behind.
A raster effect (Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Gaussian Blur and the other
effects that paint pixels) on a symbol instance's topmost fill now draws
on each filled shape of the symbol's art, and one on its topmost stroke
draws on each stroked shape, after any geometry effects listed before
it. The same rules as for geometry effects apply: only a visible fill or
stroke with an opacity above 0 counts, a group's own fills and strokes
in the art take the effect, and an instance inside the art passes it on.
The canvas, Use Preview Bounds and the drawn bounds, SVG and PDF export
draw it, and Object > Expand Appearance is enabled for such an instance:
a shadow or glow becomes an image under the instance, and a blur,
feather or inner glow replaces it with the image, in one undo step.
Existing documents with a raster effect on a symbol instance's fill or
stroke draw differently: before, the effect drew nothing.
A paragraph whose characters differ in line metrics, in area type that is
not a rectangle or that wraps around an object, was broken line by line
with the Single-line Composer when the frame could not hold all of it.
The lines the frame holds are now composed with the whole paragraph: a
line the frame has no room for, and every line after it, is measured as
wide as the span of the last line set in the frame, less its indents.
Those lines overflow, or go on in the next threaded frame, which composes
them again at its own widths. A paragraph whose first line has no room,
and a search that passes its limits, still fall back to Single-line.

The ranges in the addon.shapes params text are in parentheses, so each
description reads as a params object. The configure description and
docs/mcp.md say that an omitted or null value keeps each shape's setting;
the defaults apply to the drawing commands only.
A required index given as something other than a whole number of 0 or
more, such as "3", 2.5, -1 or true, was reported as missing: `anchor` of
path.setHandle, path.moveAnchor and text.setPathHandle, `segment` of
path.insertAnchor, and `to` of artboard.reorder, library.moveGroup and
graphicStyle.move. Each now refuses it with "`anchor` must be a whole
number", naming the key; left out or null, it is still missing.
An optional `subpath` of path.appendAnchor, path.close and path.reverse
given that way was read as left out, so the command extended, closed or
reversed the default subpath (path.reverse reversed every subpath). The
`artboard` of the ruler origin commands answered "index out of range"
for such a value and for null. Both now refuse such a value with the
same message and change nothing. A null `artboard` is artboard 0, as one
left out is; a whole number past the artboards is still out of range.
The Parametric Shape tool's center and the Slice tool's corners snapped
with Smart Guides to the bounds of the art only, so View › Snap to Glyph
had no effect on them, and neither did the anchors and segments of
paths that the other drawing tools snap to. The point dragged out from a
Parametric Shape's center did not snap at all, and neither tool showed
Smart Guides while hovering before a press.
Both tools now snap through the drawing tools' shared snapping
(DrawSnap). A Parametric Shape's center (from a drag or a double-click),
the point dragged out from it, and a slice's corners land on glyph
guides and on path anchors and segments. The guides show while hovering
and during the drag. When a ruler guide then takes a slice corner, the
Smart Guides are no longer shown. A click with the Parametric Shape tool
still draws nothing when its center snaps a few pixels from the pointer.

docs/mcp.md's line and stack row said $.stack shows at most 64 lines
and uses [global] only for the script's own code. It keeps the
innermost 64 frames after a leading line "…" when some are left out,
and [global] names any code outside a function, including code that
an included file, $.evalFile or eval runs. The row now also says how
a frame's file compares with $.fileName in each case: the same file
for code from a file, the run's name where $.fileName is empty for a
script given as source, [eval] where $.fileName is the file being run,
and [unknown] at line 0 where $.fileName is empty.
The engineName row now gives the #targetengine name, and the
script.run params text, the script module doc and the Scripts evidence
line say $.fileName is the file of the code that reads it rather than
the file being run.
After Reset Bounding Box on a turned symbol instance, Break Link to
Symbol and Object > Expand gave the art a box turned with the instance's
transform again. The art's boxes now turn with the instance's own box,
so they stand square when the instance's box did, and the angles the
art has inside the symbol are kept relative to it. The group that an
instance's opacity, blending mode or opacity mask adds around the art
takes the instance's box angle instead of standing square to the page.
A reflected instance can hold a box 180 degrees from the box its
transform gives in one step; the art now takes the instance's box
there too, the same rectangle with its handles where the instance had
them.
Compound shapes and Pathfinder receive an instance's art through the
same rule.
The clip groups and clip paths that 9-slice guides make for gradient
and pattern art take the angle of the cell that places them, and the
outer group keeps the object's angle turned by the instance, instead
of standing square to the page. This also changes the result for an
instance that was never reset: a 20 degree sliced instance gave clip
groups at 0 degrees and now gives them at 20.

The Home screen gets a Learn section between Recent Files and the new-file
presets: the Quick skill guide card, which shows the Learn panel's list of
skills (learn.skills), and each tutorial under its skill, which shows the
panel at its steps (learn.show). It works with no document open and over
open documents, opens no document and never hides the panel.
The card is shared with the panel's For you tab and now shows an outline
while it has the keyboard focus.
A command that needs a whole number of 0 or more, such as `index` of
`appearance.setItem`, `anchor` of `path.removeAnchor` and
`addon.pen.removePoint`, `sourceDocument` of `edit.dropSelection`, `index`
of `document.activate` and `to` of `document.move`, answered "missing
integer `index`" (or "missing index") both when the key was left out and
when it was given as a value that is not a whole number of 0 or more, such
as "3", 2.5, -1 or true. A value that is given but is not one is now
refused with "`index` must be a whole number", the message object ids
already use. A key left out or given as null is still missing, and an
optional index such as `subpath` keeps its default. Neither error changes
the document or records an undo step.

The Actions panel menu has a Button Mode item with a check mark. While it
is on, the panel shows every action of every set by name as a button in
its Action Options color, without set names, steps or checkmarks, and a
click on a button plays that action without its excluded steps. Choosing
Button Mode again shows the list.
- ui.action.buttonMode {enabled?} switches the view (left out: the
other view) and is kept with the UI preferences; it cannot be turned
on while an action records.
- ui.action.playAt {set, action} plays an action by its place, as the
buttons do.
- An action without a color is an ordinary button. The bottom bar shows
only Stop Playing/Recording while an action plays or records, and Play
Current Selection while one waits at a stop. Menu items for a selected
action or the current set are off in Button Mode.

craft_dxf::parse_recovering reads the tags (ASCII and binary, any code
page), model::Document::read the sections, tables, blocks, layouts and
entity followers, and Entity::read each entity. The pair parser, the
records, the header, layer, block and layout readers and the colour
palette are gone; what stays is the mapping onto VectorCraft art.
Binary DXF files now open instead of being refused. A damaged binary
file says so.
A CSV file that holds NUL bytes and has no byte-order mark was refused.
It is now read as UTF-16 when at least half of its two-byte units hold
a NUL byte, in the byte order that reads a line break. A file with fewer
NUL bytes (UTF-8 or Windows-1252 text with stray NUL bytes, or UTF-16
text made mostly of characters above U+00FF) is still refused, and so is
a file that reads a line break in both byte orders, has an odd length,
isn't valid UTF-16 in that order or holds a NUL character. Refused files
get the same message as before.
