The script module docs, the script.run params text and the evidence line now
say that $.fileName in code that eval or Function compiled gives the file
being run, and the params text says that the empty name applies to code
compiled from a script given as text.
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 a fill drag, the Live Paint Bucket stores the release point, so the
cursor swatch preview shows there instead of where the pointer last moved
before the press.
- Arrow nudges and Alt+arrow type spacing read Shift and Alt from the key
press, as the tool keys do, so a modifier released within the same frame
still makes a 10 pt nudge, a copy, or a spacing step.
- tool.setOption accepts cursorSwatchPreview for the Live Paint Bucket and
refuses a value that is not true or false.
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.
addon.pathtools.cornerSet and cornerRemove now refuse a key other than
id and anchors in an `items` member, with the standard unknown-parameter
error, instead of ignoring it. A misspelled `anchor` used to fall back
to the request's `anchors`, else the path's direct-selected anchors,
else every corner of the path. They also refuse `items` given together
with `ids`, which `items` replaces. Saved steps played with replay
still run as recorded.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Text Wrap Options showed Offset as a plain number in points. It is now a
distance field in the document's General unit: a bare number is in that
unit, a typed unit is read as typed, and OK sends points.
The field's range is the one object.textWrap.options keeps an Offset to,
-1000 to 1000 pt, read from the engine's TEXT_WRAP_OFFSET_RANGE. A value
typed outside it, or text that doesn't read, is refused: the field
flashes and the dialog stays open. The ends as the field shows them in
another unit (352.7778 mm for 1000 pt) read back as the ends.
In the dialogs drawn by the shared dialog window, a click on OK no
longer confirms the dialog when the field it takes the focus from
refuses its text, as Enter already did not. OK pressed from the keyboard
after such a click still confirms.
A Live Paint Bucket click or drag over faces that already have the
fill, a stroke on an edge that already has the paint and width, Gap
Options with the options the groups have and no gap to close, and Make
or Merge given one Live Paint group alone now leave the document, the
undo and redo steps and the saved state as they are, and reply as
usual. Such a fill or stroke also leaves the recent colors as they are.
Gap Options with Close Gaps With Paths makes a group's faces again only
when it adds a path or what paint stops at changes, so the faces keep
their ids otherwise.
Type > Create Outlines dropped the fills and strokes of the type object
itself (the items around the Appearance panel's Characters row), so the
outlines no longer drew what the type drew. On type without effects of
its own, Object > Expand outlines the type with the same command, so it
lost them before Fill or Stroke could expand them.
- Create Outlines puts those items on paths of the type's whole outline:
the items below the Characters row on one path under the glyph paths,
the others on one path over them, in their order. Unplaced gradients
are fixed to the type's layout box, as the canvas paints them.
- object.expand.info reports the type object's own strokes, pattern
fills and gradient fills, measuring a gradient on the whole outline.
It counts them only when the type has an outline: type of only spaces
reports none of them.
- The stroke flag of object.expand.info counts every stroke Outline
Stroke outlines, not only the topmost one, for paths as well as type.
Expand skipped Stroke for a visible stroke under a stroke with no
paint.
Create Outlines still does not carry over the type object's own effects.

Invert Colors, the Convert to commands, Saturate, Adjust Color Balance,
the Blend commands and Recolor Artwork recorded an undo step even when
they changed no color, for example Invert Colors with fills and strokes
off, Saturate at 0 or a second Blend Front to Back. The empty step also
cleared the redo steps. paint.invert and paint.complement on whole
objects, Apply as Filter (addon.color.filter) and Apply Nearest Swatch
run the same pass and did the same.
These commands now run on a copy of the document and record the step
only when something changed. Convert to Indexed Color uses the same
helper. Recolor Artwork also compares the documents when it counted no
recolored paint, so rewriting a color group's swatches still records
its step.
A graph draws the art of a column or marker design inside a series again
from the stored design. Rows, effects and graphic styles that a command
gave that art were lost the next time the graph's data, type or size
changed. The paint commands already left the art out.
- The appearance.* row and whole-appearance commands, effect.apply,
appearance.addEffect and the effect.* commands that edit, move or
remove an effect, threeD.mapGraphic, graphicStyle.apply,
graphicStyle.addFromLibrary with apply, transparency.set with a fill
or stroke item, and appearance.copyFrom (as the target) leave out any
object inside a series group other than a path directly in it, given
by id, selected or reached through target: "contents". They edit the
other objects given, and a command whose objects are all design art
is an error.
- appearance.transfer with design art as its target, or as its source
without copy, is an error.
- A Pathfinder effect no longer groups selected design art.
- The paint commands given a design's copy with a fill or stroke item
leave it out as well.
docs/mcp.md states the rule, and the Graphs line in
docs/target-app-parity.md names it.
Session::replace_document on a tab other than the current one cleared
the bounds of type set in a font named like a composite font and left
that type with estimated bounds until the document came to the front.
- The replacement's type without bounds is measured at once, in the
document's own composite fonts, lent for the measuring. The front
document stays the one whose composite fonts are registered.
- When the document then comes to the front unchanged, its type in its
own composite fonts is not measured again. Type set in a composite
font only another document defines is still measured again, as
missing, and so is type set in a composite font name that another
thread's loan held with a different definition.
A legacy .ai graph (%_Gs ... %_GS) opened as plain art, with its table,
type, axes and settings left out. A grouped column, stacked column, line
or area graph now keeps them on its group when every record has the
shape and values the version 7 specification's appendix A gives, the
table holds at least one number, the drawn art strokes the plot's left
and bottom edges, and each series group is tagged once as a whole
column, holds only paths and paints them with one fill and one stroke.
The saved art stays as it is on open; Graph Data redraws the graph from
its data afterward, with each series' fill and stroke kept.
Any other graph (pie and scatter graphs, designs, customizations, record
shapes of later versions, tables past 10,000 categories, 256 series or
2,600,000 cells) keeps its art as plain objects with the existing note.
Saving a graph to .ai, in either form, now warns that its data and
settings are not written.
