Only a painted effect's references are checked, so a refusal recorded for a painted effect stayed in plugin.info after an effect that paints nothing replaced it under the same id.
A painted effect's cached result passed its swatch and pattern check and cleared the error of a failed run, so plugin.info reported none while the effect still failed on another object. A run and a reference check now record their errors separately, and each clears only its own.
tool.setOption on another tool reloaded every saved option of the active tool. During a shape drag that reload rewrote the options Escape restores, so Escape kept a side count an arrow key had changed. The active tool now reloads only the stores it shares with the tool that was set.
File › Print printed each artboard on a sheet of its own. A 2 × 3.5 in
card on Letter printed once in the middle of the page, and Print had no
option to fill the sheet with copies.
The Print dialog's General section has Copies per Sheet (off by
default) and a Gutter. With it on, a sheet holds as many copies of the
artboard as fit the imageable area, each with its bleed and marks,
across then down, gutter pt apart. The card prints 4 × 3 on Letter,
and 3 × 3 with an 18 pt gutter. The copies are not turned, and the
placement places the whole grid as it places one copy. An artboard
that does not fit prints one copy per sheet with a warning, and more
than 1,000 copies on a sheet is an error. Tiling leaves the option
out. The PDF and PostScript writers draw the art and the marks once
per copy, the PDF TrimBox holds every copy, the preview draws each
copy, and print.preview lists them as `copies`. With the option off,
the layout lists no copies and the writers draw the page as before.

The canvas, the gradient chips and the SVG, PDF, EPS and EMF writers mixed
freeform points in display RGB, while Object > Expand and Create Gradient
Mesh mixed them in the model the points share. Points that are all CMYK,
Gray, Lab or RGB now mix in that model in those places too. Points in
different models mix as before: in display RGB, and on ink planes as the
inks of each point.
This changes how existing art looks:
- CMYK and Lab points. With the default Generic CMYK working space and no
ink planes, halfway between C100 and K100 the canvas drew (17, 106, 139)
and now draws (54, 118, 143).
- RGB points in a working RGB space other than sRGB mix in that space.
- On ink planes (a CMYK document that shows transparency), RGB and Lab
points mix first and then separate.
Gray mixes keep their values, and CMYK and Gray points on ink planes draw
as before. RGB points in an sRGB working space draw as before except on
ink planes.
- PDF and EPS write a gradient whose points are all CMYK, or all Gray in a
CMYK file, as a CMYK image. PDF's Output settings convert it as they
convert any CMYK image.
- Darkening applies to the points before they mix.
- With Appearance of Black set to Rich, the canvas mixes a gradient with a
pure CMYK black point in display RGB, and the point fades from RGB black.
A settings get no longer reads and parses settings.json each time. The
parsed settings are kept per plug-in folder and read again only when the
file's size or modified time changes. A set to the value a key already
has writes nothing, and every other change is written with an atomic
write before the call returns. plugin.remove drops the kept copy.
cacheBytes in plugin.list, plugin.info and plugin.install comes from a
total kept while the cache folder keeps its modified time, instead of a
listing of up to 8,192 items per call. A cache write still lists the
folder to enforce the caps.
docs/plugins.md states what a run counts and that a cache call moves a
whole entry in one step. docs/plugins.md and docs/mcp.md now say when a
later plugin.remove retries a leftover .removed folder.
With New Art Has Basic Appearance on (the default), the selection never
reached the fill and stroke proxies, so new art kept the colours set last.
A select.* command or layer.target that changes the selection now loads
the proxies and the weight from what the selection shows in them.
A paint or weight the selected objects don't share stays as it was, and
art without paint (a placed image) changes nothing. The template is left
alone, and only a changed selection loads, so a sampled paint stays.
A path whose live effect paints its pieces was measured with the
flattened output and the source appearance's strokes, so a piece with a
wider stroke of its own could be culled while the stroke was on screen,
and Rasterize and raster effects worked over bounds that were too small.
visual_bounds and shape_bounds now measure the art reshape returns, each
piece with its own appearance, and a raster effect on a fill or stroke
spreads that art.
