object.expand.info reported a gradient (and a fill) to expand for any
type whose characters have a gradient fill. Expand outlines type first,
and each outline then holds the run's gradient on its own box, so a
gradient that repeats or reflects in more than 256 runs across every
outline stays a gradient: the dialog enabled options that changed
nothing.
- The query now measures the paths type.createOutlines makes of the
glyphs, ruby glyphs and underline and strikethrough bars, each with
its run's paint, and reports a gradient when one of them expands. It
lays the text out only when a run has a gradient fill, stops at the
first outline that expands, and does not change the document. Type in
symbol art, blends and repeats goes through the same check.
- docs/mcp.md says when gradient is false; docs/target-app-parity.md
gets an evidence line.
An app that does not send the image back wrote the window capture to
vectorcraft-window-<pid>.png directly in the system's temporary folder.
On a shared Unix temporary folder another user could put a link at
that name, and the app would then overwrite the file it points to. A
failed read also left the file behind.
The capture now goes to window.png in a new folder made for it inside
the temporary folder (owner-only on Unix; a name that is taken is
skipped). The folder is removed after the read, also when the app or
the read fails.
PDF export without a PDF/X or PDF/A standard writes pages longer than
200 in at full size in points instead of with a UserUnit scale.
longPagesInPoints is now on by default in PdfSettings, the built-in
presets and the Save PDF dialog. Turning it off writes such a page with a
UserUnit from PDF 1.6 on, as before. PDF/A-2b files keep the UserUnit,
and .ai saves keep it unless longPagesInPoints: true is passed.
Docs: params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The profiles Edit > Assign Profile gives a document stayed the active
color settings after another document came to the front, so a new,
opened or switched-to document drew and converted its colors through the
previous document's profile, and closing the last document left it in
use.
The session now puts the front document's profiles in use (the working
spaces where it has none, or no document is open) after a new or opened
document, a tab switch, a close, File > Revert, every command including
each batch step and Undo or Redo of Assign Profile, a failed batch or
plug-in call, a script's rollback and slice boundaries, a canceled
preview, undo group or undo scope, and for each document Export All Open
and the update of placed documents work in. The active settings are
rebuilt, and the documents redrawn, only when they change.
document.export and document.serialize to .ai with useArtboards: false
wrote the one page of the visible art, but embedded the one-artboard
stand-in as the native document and as the editing copy for other apps.
Reopened, the file replaced the document's artboards with one artboard
around the art.
- The .ai of the art's bounds now leaves out both editing copies and
returns the warning "Preserve editing was left out: an .ai file of the
art's bounds would replace the document's artboards when reopened",
as the PDF of the art's bounds does.
- useArtboards: false with pdfCompatible: false is refused, with or
without editingData, since the file would have blank pages and no
editing copy.
- Save, Save As, Save a Copy and exports of the artboards keep both
copies. Legacy version 7 .ai files are written as before.

A graph draws its series groups again with no rows of their own, so a
fill, stroke, opacity or graphic style that a command put on a series
group was lost the next time the graph's data, type or size changed,
and the graph stored nothing. paint.setFill and paint.setStroke already
pass a series group's id on to the paths directly inside it.
- appearance.addFill, addStroke, setItem, removeItem, duplicateItem and
moveItem, graphicStyle.apply and transparency.set with a fill or
stroke item now edit the paths directly in a series group given by id
or picked with Group Selection, and the graph stores what they change.
A series group with no such path, or with a fill or stroke row of its
own, is still edited itself, and appearance.moveItem from "contents"
still moves the group's own Contents row.
- appearance.clear, appearance.reduceToBasic, appearance.showAllHidden
and graphicStyle.breakLink edit the group as well as its paths.
- graphicStyle.apply without add and appearance.transfer onto a series
group clear the group's own opacity, blend mode, isolation, knockout,
effects and style link, and graphicStyle.apply with add unlinks the
group. A transfer source that is one of the group's paths keeps its
look, and a source that is the group's only path is an error.
- graphicStyle.redefine passes the style to the paths of a linked series
group, other than the source and the linked paths whose look was
edited, and clears and unlinks the group.
- graphicStyle.new, graphicStyle.redefine and appearance.transfer read a
series group that holds no row, effect, opacity, blend mode,
isolation, knockout or style link of its own through the topmost path
directly in it, and a move clears each of those paths. A series group
that holds one of them is read itself, as before.
- The Graphic Styles panel reads the style link of such a selected
series group from that path.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md. Not yet: the Appearance
panel and appearance.setActiveItem still read the selected group's own
rows, and the effect commands and the paint, stroke and gradient
commands with an item still edit the group itself.
Follows #5501.
$.fileName gave the file being run, so a function defined in a file
that #include inserted, in a file $.evalFile ran, or in an earlier run
of a named engine reported the calling file instead of its own.
- vectorcraft_js: HostItem::SiteGetter gives a getter the CallSite
(source tag, line, column) of the code that reads it.
- $.fileName maps that place through the run's source maps, or the
maps a named engine kept, to the file the code is in. It is empty in
code from a script given as source and in kept code whose map was
dropped. Code that eval or Function compiled still gets the file
being run.

A blend made with Create Spine set to Never now shows the Appearance
widget with the Selection and Blend tools, so its color Shift can be
dragged on the canvas as on a blend with a spine. The Easing widget
stays hidden, since easing needs a spine.
The widget sits 16 px above the halfway point, by length, of the
straight lines between the key centers that the steps are laid out
along, and a drag follows those lines' direction there. The lines are
not drawn. `blend_layout_line` exposes that line; `blend_spine` still
returns `None` for such a blend.
The eye and lock on a guide's row in the Layers panel hide or lock that
guide alone, in one undo step, and a drag down either column takes guide
rows along with the other rows it passes. A hidden guide is not drawn and
does not snap, and its row is dimmed; a locked guide is drawn and snaps
but can't be selected, moved or deleted. Both can be changed while the
guide's layer is hidden or locked, and the guide shows or can be edited
only when its layer allows it as well. The state is kept through save
and reopen.
- layer.setProps takes ruler guide node ids; every other command still
refuses them.
- guide.list rows carry the guide's node id and its own hidden and
locked state.
- Alt-click and Ctrl/Cmd+Alt-click on a guide row's eye or lock act on
the other layers, as on any row in that layer.
- Object > Lock > Selection and Object > Hide > Selection lock or hide the
selected ruler guides with the selected art, in one undo step, outside
isolation mode. Unlock All and Show All, document scope, also unlock or
show guides locked or hidden on their own and select them as guides.
- Guide rows dropped on the Layers panel's trash delete their guides
(guide.remove {indexes}). A click on a guide row clears the highlighted
rows, so Delete deletes the guide; with no row highlighted the trash
deletes the selected guides.
- guide.remove and guide.setLayer refuse index together with indexes and
an indexes value that is not a list, and count a repeated index once.
guide.select, guide.remove and guide.setLayer refuse an indexes list of
more than 10,000 entries; guide.setLayer cut such a list short before.
- Moving, deleting or moving to another layer a guide that is hidden or
locked on its own fails with "the guide is hidden or locked"; a guide
on a hidden or locked layer still fails with "the guide is on a hidden
or locked layer".

A Fit to Artwork Bounds step of `command.batch` that names neither
`index` nor `indices` now fits the artboards the Artboard tool has
selected when the step runs (two or more), as the command does when the
app runs it on its own. Before, the step took the batch's `artboard` as
its `index`, so an action played from the Actions panel fitted only the
active artboard while several were selected.
- A step's own `index` or `indices` is kept, and the batch no longer adds
an unused `index` to a step that names `indices`.
- The batch's journal entry records the `indices` the step took, so a
replay fits the same artboards. An action leaves them out and fits the
artboards selected when it plays.
Docs: command.batch params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
- With art, the bar is 10 pt tall and the Edit tab leaves out the gaps
above the wheel and above the sliders. The dialog is as tall on the
Edit tab as on the Assign tab, and all of it but the color chips fits
a 1024 by 576 screen.
- recolor.weigh counts a use for the first row that is not excluded
when an excluded row lists the same color first.
Insert Menu Item… now lists the Object › Align items and the View menu
commands the app runs itself (Outline, Pixel Preview, Trim View,
Presentation Mode, Screen Mode, zoom, fit, Rotate View, and the show,
hide and snap items).
- An Align step holds the params its click sends at insertion, so a
later Align To choice does not change it. A step that aligns to the
key object stops the playback when the selection has no key.
- A View menu step plays in its place at every speed and adds no undo
step. At Accelerated the steps on each side of it are one undo step
each. Playing it while recording records it.
- Batch… refuses an action with an included View menu step.
- An action set file with a View menu step is version 6.
- The steps before a stop now play as saved steps, as other playback
does, so a key that an older version recorded no longer fails there.

The Materials tab and threeD.mapGraphic now map graphics onto
Revolve's swept side, unrolled flat: x runs around the axis (the
angle times the profile's distance from the axis at that point) and
y along the profile. A graphic keeps its size at every distance from
the axis, so it reaches farther around where the profile comes nearer
the axis. Each face of the side draws the part that falls on it: a
graphic narrows toward the silhouette, follows the profile along its
length, is shaded with the surface (several lights included) and is
hidden where the side faces away. A part that runs past the end of
the profile reaches the curved rim and stops there. The middle of the
side faces the viewer with the axis on either edge. On a compound
profile or a group the graphics go on the longest contour.
- three-d: with Revolve::map_surface set, side faces carry a
SurfaceCell (corners on the page and on the unrolled side, whether
the outside faces the viewer) and a closed profile off the axis
takes an anchor where its side is cut; without it the faces are as
before. revolve_surface_size gives the side's size for a new
graphic's fit.
- effects: Revolve takes `graphics` (front only); surface_parts cuts
and maps them per face; curves are cut into straight pieces one at
a time, and commands refuse graphics past the point limits;
switching between Extrude, Plane and Revolve keeps the front's
graphics.
- The Materials tab hides Face for Revolve; params text, docs/mcp.md,
docs/three-d.md and the progress docs describe the change.
- i18n: the complete-message catalogs translate the three new
refusals in place of the planar-faces refusal they replace, and ja,
es, zh-hans and zh-hant translate the Materials tab's label.
- recolor.weigh drops another row's entry for a color that moved, so
recolor.apply recolors it with the row it moved to and the shares
describe the recolor. A color that the first color of another row
with a new color also lists stays where it is.
- Linked swatch colors are grouped through a map, so a row with many
unlinked colors no longer compares each one with every group.
- The Prominent Colors bar reads the shares again when a row gains or
loses a new color, since that changes which row takes a shared color.
With Real-time Drawing off, a command that ends a drag first (Undo, Redo,
Clear History, a plug-in command and the others) applies the drag's
deferred preview, but dropped the warning that preview gave, which
releasing the drag shows in the status bar.
- The applied preview's warning is now kept while a top-level command or
the tool's actions run. A command's result carries it as
`previewWarning`, and as `warning` when the command has no warning of
its own, so the status bar shows it.
- Typing kept as its own step when a tool's drag begins, or when Cmd
lends the Selection tool, shows the warning in the status bar.
- The Cmd-lend path no longer ignores an error from keeping the typing.

The Pencil and the Paintbrush send their Fidelity in points at the
current zoom, but path.freehand read at most 100 pt. At 3.13% zoom a
20 px Fidelity (639 pt) was fitted at 100 pt, the same as 3.13 px on
screen, so a stroke drawn zoomed out kept far more anchors than the
same stroke at 100%.
- path.freehand, and brush.freehand, which runs it, take a Fidelity
from MIN_FIT_TOLERANCE to MAX_FIT_TOLERANCE (100 / 0.0313 pt, the
100 px field maximum at the lowest zoom). A value outside that range
is now rejected with an error instead of being read as the nearer
end. The default stays 1.5 pt and path.blob keeps its 100 pt bound.
- The Pencil and the Paintbrush keep the value they send within that
range, so a stroke draws at any zoom.
- An extending stroke still closes the path within four Fidelities of
its other end, at most 400 pt, as before.
It conflicts with open #7089 in crates/tools/src/draw2.rs.

learn.skills {} shows the Learn panel on its Skills tab with the list of
skills, with no skill and no tutorial open, and returns what learn.list
returns. Back to skills after a skill's last tutorial and the Quick skill
guide card on the For you tab now run it, so the control channel and MCP
can reach the same view.
- The command is listed in both UI command catalogs, and its label has a
row in every catalog.
- Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/ui-parity.md.
A toolbar made with New Toolbar now docks in a lane along the window's
left or right edge (on the left, right of the Tools panel docked there).
Dropping its title bar on an edge docks it, with the target lit while
the title bar is dragged over it; dragging it out of its lane floats it
under the pointer, and Escape or losing the window's focus during the
drag puts it back. The title bar's context menu has Dock to Left, Dock
to Right and Float Toolbar.
- Toolbars docked at one edge stack from the top, each with an equal
share of the lane's height, and the lane is as wide as its widest
toolbar. A lane too short for its stack wraps it into more columns,
up to half the width beside it; past that the toolbars show only
their title bars, a lone toolbar included, and a column too short
for those scrolls with the mouse wheel.
- With Keep Tools Beside the Canvas on and Tools docked on the left,
the left lane is laid out inside the canvas panel right of Tools, and
the canvas keeps room for one column of it and its 200 points.
- A release in the frame the pointer leaves the lane floats the toolbar
with its corner where the drag put it.
- window.toolbar.dock {name, side?, order?} and window.toolbar.float
{name, x?, y?} do the same from the control protocol; bad params are
errors and change nothing. window.toolbar.list reports floating, side
and order.
- CustomToolbar keeps dock (place in the edge's stack) and dock_right;
both default, so toolbars saved before load floating. Workspaces and
preferences keep the placement; New Toolbar still starts floating, a
copy floats, and deleting a docked toolbar closes up its stack.
- Dock to Left, Dock to Right, Dock Toolbar and Float Toolbar have rows
in every catalog.
