After a rotation the Selection tool already shows and drags a bounding
box turned with the objects, but the Free Transform tool still used the
page-aligned box. Its handles sat on the wrong corners, a side handle
scaled along the page axes, and Perspective Distort and Free Distort
started from a box that did not match the art.
- The Free Transform tool keeps the selection's turned box for the
drag. Handles, the rotate zone and the move zone are read in its
frame; a handle scales along the selection's own sides from the
opposite handle (or the center with Alt) and snaps as the Selection
tool's does; Cmd/Ctrl on a side handle shears along that side; the
outline, handles and cursors are drawn on the turned box.
- Perspective Distort and Free Distort move the corners of the turned
box. `object.distort` takes `angle?` (degrees): `from`, or the
selection's bounds without it, is then a box in the frame turned by
that angle. Upright boxes send the same params as before.
- The Scale and Reflect tools, their dialogs and commands, and the
Transform panel's flips keep the page's axes.

A new Type preference, Show samples on white (`fontSamplesOnWhite`, off
by default), draws each family's sample in every font menu, and in
Type → Font in the in-window menu bar, in the Light brightness's text
color on a white area, in every interface brightness. A row's white
area is drawn while its sample is still rendering, and leaves 2 pt above
and below it where a highlighted row's color shows. The family names and
the rest of the menu keep the interface's colors. Preferences dims the
checkbox while Enable in-menu font previews is off.

The Drawing tools row in docs/target-app-parity.md now names the
measurement readout that the Pen, Smart Pen and Curvature tool show
with the rubber band off. The score, gaps and hours are unchanged.
The Paragraph panel's Mojikumi Set lists None, YakumonoHankaku,
GyomatsuYakumonoHankaku, GyomatsuYakumonoZenkaku and YakumonoZenkaku,
then Line-end Punctuation Half Width, and text.setFormat {mojikumi}
takes yakumonoHankaku, gyomatsuYakumonoHankaku, gyomatsuYakumonoZenkaku
and yakumonoZenkaku besides none and lineEndHalf.
The spacing of each set is VectorCraft's own rule, built on the help
page's one-line description of each set:
- YakumonoHankaku sets every bracket, comma and full stop half width,
takes a quarter em off each side of a middle dot, and puts a quarter
em between Japanese and Latin letters or digits.
- GyomatsuYakumonoHankaku keeps punctuation full width inside a line,
sets an opening bracket starting a line flush and a closing mark
ending it half width, and takes the quarter em after a middle dot
ending a line off.
- GyomatsuYakumonoZenkaku keeps punctuation full width and adds the
quarter em between Japanese and Latin text.
- YakumonoZenkaku sets characters as None does.
Both composers and vertical type measure each line as it is set. A
right-to-left paragraph, whose line ends are measured untrimmed, also
draws them untrimmed, and a right-to-left line that ends between a
Japanese and a Latin character is measured without the quarter em the
set adds there. With a Desired glyph scaling other than 100%, the
space a set takes off before an opening bracket or middle dot, and the
Japanese-Latin space recorded at a line's end, scale with the glyph.
The sets save with the document and paragraph styles; new type and
Reset Panel keep Line-end Punctuation Half Width. SVG export lays type
with middle dots out again for its positioned spans. A .ai save
reports a paragraph with one of the new sets as left out.

Enable Rubber Band now hides only the preview segment in the Pen, the
Curvature tool and the Smart Pen. With it off and Measurement Labels on,
the three tools still show the D / Angle / dX / dY readout at the pointer
while a path is drawn, and the Curvature tool also shows it when
going on from the current end of a selected path. With Measurement Labels
off, no readout shows either way. The click places the same anchor as
before.

With Background Save on, Package's OK started the save of a dirty
document on the worker and then wrote the package whether or not that
save succeeded. With both preferences off, a failed save already stopped
the package, so the result depended on the preferences.
The package now starts only after the save is written, with both
preferences in every combination. With Background Export on, it is still
collected from the document as it was at OK and starts once the save's
result arrives; when the save fails, or asks a question first, no package
is written and the save's error stays in the status bar. With Background
Export off, the dialog shows the save's error.
background::after runs a step on the UI thread once a job's result is
applied.
The refusals of Extrude & Bevel, Revolve, Inflate, Rotate and their
Classic forms (art a 3D effect can't build a solid from, invalid
light, shadow, graphics and surface settings, and Expand as Wireframes
notes) now have an @msg row in every complete-message catalog, as do
the effect names and object kinds the messages name, so the status bar
shows them in the interface language. Parameter keys, numbers and
names keep their English form; command replies stay English.
A value a message quotes in "...", curly quotes or backticks, such as a
symbol's name, is shown as written instead of being looked up as a
message of its own.
Version 4 marks sets with Select Object steps, so a build that reads
version 4 but has no select.storedPath accepted a Select Path set and
failed at the step during playback. Sets with Select Path steps now
save as version 5, Load Actions reads versions 1 to 5, and docs/mcp.md
and the file header say so.
A colorized image whose linked file is missing shows the placeholder
preview, whose pixels are not grayscale. paint.setFill skipped such an
image and added a fill item instead, while the Fill proxy showed the
image's colorize color. A solid color now replaces the colorize color.
While that color is a spot color, black or white, a process color is
refused, since the relinked pixels may have an alpha channel.
A print to a file and the print preview list their notes as saves and
exports do since #6920: what the job leaves out of the document or prints
differently first (art outside the imageable area, type in a fallback
font, transparency flattened for PostScript), then the notes on the
options (halftone screens and a fixed flatness that aren't written, copies
per sheet that don't fit, a printer profile left out, ink options that
name no ink). Each kind keeps the order it is given in.
The print layout, the PDF print and the PDF print plan return the notes
on the options in `setting_notes` beside `warnings`, as `ExportReport`
does. The status message after a print to a file names the first note,
so a fixed flatness no longer hides type printed in a fallback font.
A solid now shares its mapped graphics only with the run of solids just
before it that have the same opacity and blending mode. Before, it
joined any earlier solid with the same settings, so with members A, B
and C where A and C match, A's graphic was drawn after C and over B.
The Materials tab shows no artboard handles for graphics on a hidden
fill or stroke, which draws no solid and no graphics.
docs/three-d.md now says that pattern tiles in a graphic keep their own
colors instead of taking the face's light.
Space held while dragging out a new anchor already moved it, handles and
all, but the closing drag skipped it, so the closing anchor could not be
repositioned. The closing drag now moves the first anchor by as far as the
pointer moves while Space is held, its handles with it, and the drag
shapes the handles round the new place once Space is released.
path.close takes `at: [x, y]`, which moves the first anchor, its handles
with it, before `in` and `out` are placed. docs/mcp.md and the Pen line
in docs/target-app-parity.md describe it.
- The link watch and links.updateChanged look at a DCS file's plate files
of their own, so a changed plate file is read again.
- links.update and links.relink apply the file's clipping path to the
images in symbols, graph designs, patterns and masks too. When the new
file has no clipping path, a clip group holding the old file's clipping
path loses that path and stays as a plain group of the image, keeping
its id, name, visibility and transparency. The image keeps that path with its plates to tell it from a
clipping mask made in the document; a clipping path given another fill
rule in the document stays. An even-odd clipping path in the file is
kept as the same area under the nonzero rule.
- links.update and links.relink return the swatch warnings file.place
gives, including two files that add one ink in two colors.
- links.relink with copy fails for a DCS file with plate files of its own.
- file.place answers the image id of a clipped DCS placement as image,
and checks page and crop for a DCS file as it does for an EPS file.
- Print separations and Separations Preview take a spot plate's color
from the document's swatch of its ink, and a reduced image's plates
keep their coverage.
- Show DCS Transparency Interactions counts a transparent DCS image and
characters filled or stroked with a transparent gradient.
- %%PlateFile names keep their spaces, and header bytes that are not
UTF-8 are read as Latin-1.
- A plate program that draws more than one image, art besides its image,
or its image through a clipping path is an error naming the plate
instead of printing the wrong ink.
- Nested clipping paths around the composite clip the image together.
- A kept image with more plates than are read, or more TIFF directories
than its composite and plates, is the CMYK image of its composite
only, not a set of plates cut short.
- swatch.unused counts a spot or process swatch as used only while an
image the art shows has a spot plate of its name.
- A fill or stroke at an opacity of 0 no longer counts as painting its
pattern, so Find, selection-only Change and Print leave that pattern's
type out.
- Text whose inline graphics draw a symbol shows that symbol's type: Find
selects it, and selection-only Change and the font list reach the type
through it, also through a pattern whose art holds such text.
- Refresh Font List lays out again the type in opacity masks and in the
art of symbols and patterns, and inline graphics, on the layers and in
that art, take the new size of their symbols' art.
docs/mcp.md said twice that `pages` naming every page of a .ai saved
without PDF compatibility opens it from its editing data, once with the
file named and once as "such a file". The paragraph also ended in the
middle of a sentence: "`clipboard.importPdf` takes every object of its
editing".
The sentence now appears once, with the file named, and the paragraph
ends with "its editing data."
