View > Proof Setup > Working CMYK simulates the working CMYK space of
Color Settings in Proof Colors and Separations Preview, also in a
document assigned another CMYK profile. The active context keeps the
working context beside the assigned profiles, and the proof table cache
key includes the working settings, so a change of the working CMYK space
shows in the next proof.
color.removeProfile gave every open document a new revision for any
removed profile. It now redraws when the removed profile was an assigned
profile in use, which the working space replaces, or the CMYK profile
View → Proof Setup targets. Removing any other profile leaves the
revisions unchanged, which loading_or_removing_the_proof_profile_redraws
checks.
With automation read roots in force, document.json returned each entry of
svg_scripts unchanged, so a JavaScript file linked from outside the read
roots kept its full path in the reply. The reply copy now names such a
file by its file name alone. An entry given as a URL is kept, and the
stored document is not changed.
- 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 stroke at an opacity of 0 draws nothing, so its brush is no longer
listed in the Brushes category, brushNames or brushes. Pattern Objects,
Gradient Objects and Spot Color Objects likewise leave out fills and
strokes at an opacity of 0, and Objects no longer counts objects whose
only such paint is at opacity 0.
Document Info's Brushes category now lists the brushes the artwork's
strokes draw with, each once with its type (Calligraphic, Scatter, Art,
Pattern or Bristle), as the Document Info panel help page describes:
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/get-started/learn-the-basics/document-info-panel.html
Without Selection Only the category used to list every brush in the
Brushes panel, used or not; it now lists only the brushes art uses.
document.info adds `brushes` ([{name, type}]) and `panelBrushNames`
(the Brushes panel's brushes), and `brushNames` holds the used brushes.
Hidden strokes, strokes with no paint or width, guides, paths with no
segment, type that draws no characters, groups' and layers' own strokes,
compound path members' own strokes and image strokes without a shape
are left out. A brush the panel does not hold is listed as missing,
with a null type, and a name two panel brushes share takes the type of
the brush the renderer draws with.
A miter join on a stroke whose dashes have round or projecting caps
still paints the miter spikes the limit keeps, and the visual box
includes them. object.setBounds with Use Preview Bounds did not count
such a stroke as one whose margins follow its segments' directions, so a
closed path at a slant missed the size typed when the width and height
were out of proportion.
A Transform effect on a group reshaped its members' paths but left the
raster effects inside it at their own values: a member's Drop Shadow
kept its 10 pt offset under a 200% Transform effect, and with Scale
Strokes & Effects on, it scaled by the mean scale without turning. The
same held for the raster effects of an object's own fills and strokes
under the object's Transform effect.
- A Transform effect that moves the art once now transforms the raster
effects of a group's members (their own and their fills' and
strokes'), of nested groups, of the art of the linked opacity masks
in it and of an object's fills and strokes, after the members' own
Transform effects: sizes scale by the mean scale and a Drop Shadow's
offset turns, reflects and scales. A raster effect that a member's
own Transform effect with copies or random holds back keeps its value
through that effect and still transforms with the group's. Scale
Strokes & Effects does not scale them a second time. A group's or
object's Transform effect that makes copies or moves at random leaves
them as before.
- The canvas, the redraw region, export, Expand Appearance, Object ›
Expand and Outline Stroke read the same values.
- The Transform effect's params text and docs/target-app-parity.md
describe the rule.
A path inside a compound path given in ids was replaced by a group inside the
compound path, which reads its members as paths, so the edges did not draw. The
compound path is now expanded in its place. The panel's Quick Actions show on
the Object tab of Revolve (Classic), not on its Rotation tab, as for the other
effects with an Object tab.
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.
A bevel join, and a miter join whose miter limit bevels a corner, end the
stroke at the outer corners of the two segments they join. The visual box
measured such a corner as if the stroke reached half its weight round it:
a 40 x 100 pt triangle with a 20 pt stroke and a miter limit of 2 measured
10 pt above its tip, where the stroke paints about 1.96 pt above it. Use
Preview Bounds, and the alignment and sizing that use it, took that box.
- With bevel and miter joins, closed paths and open paths with round or
projecting caps are now measured along their segments, as butt-capped
open paths already were, with the miter tips the limit keeps and the
caps added. Round joins still reach half the weight round each corner,
the round caps of dashes, which can end at a corner, reach half the
weight all round, and the projecting caps of dashes reach the diagonal
of their square. The visual box of
such a stroke can be smaller than before and is never larger. A path
with no width, such as a rectangle sized to 0 pt wide, turns back at
its ends, where the join bevels, so its box no longer reaches past them.
- object.setBounds with Use Preview Bounds measures an object as drawn
when a beveled or mitered corner, or a butt cap, is on a segment at a
slant. Before, a closed path with miter spikes the limit keeps missed
the size typed when the width and height were out of proportion.
- A click past a bevel or a butt cap, by more than the click tolerance,
no longer selects the stroke. Strokes with a width profile or with
dashes that have round or projecting caps, and the ends of curves that
bend more tightly than half the weight, keep the round reach.
- Paths measured along their segments skip the segments that cannot
reach past the box measured so far, which starts with the path's own
bounds.
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.
