dataset.import and variable.loadLibrary added an undo step, cleared Redo
and marked a saved document modified even when the variables and data
sets came out as they were, such as the same CSV or library loaded
again. Both now build the new variables on a copy and record a step only
when it differs. variable.loadLibrary's params text and docs/mcp.md say
so.
dataset.import read two header cells that named one variable (City
and City, or Shown and #Shown) into the same column, so each row kept
only the last non-blank cell and the other value was dropped without a
word. The import is now refused with the two column numbers, and the
message has a row in every complete-message catalog.
dataset.import replaced the reason for a refused cell with "value for
`X` must match its variable kind", so a visibility value such as
maybe and a graph value over 262,144 bytes gave the same message. The
error now keeps the line and gives the reason, and both messages have
a row in every complete-message catalog.
Legacy type (`To` ... `TO`) now reads `min opt max TC` and `min opt max TW`
into the paragraph's letter and word spacing, `hangingQuotes Tq` into Roman
hanging punctuation, and `hyphenate limit lead tail max Th` into hyphenation
on or off, After First, Before Last and the Hyphen Limit (0 when the limit
flag is 0). Values are kept to the ranges the Justification and Hyphenation
options take, and a spacing triple out of order goes back to its default.
Operands of the legacy type attributes are read by their place: an attribute
whose operands are missing, are not numbers, or are flags other than 0 and 1
stays as it was. Before, a value that was not a number shifted the later
operands (`5 /x 7 Ti` set indents of 5, 7 and 0), and a bad `TA` or `Ta`
turned kerning on or set the alignment to left. One long `Tx` no longer goes
past the reader's limit on characters.
A clipping path painted with a stroke (`W S`, `W B`) lost the stroke when
a .ai file opened from its editing data. The clipping path now keeps it,
and it paints over the clipped art as a clipping path's stroke does in
VectorCraft. A gradient-filled clipping path stroked with `1 BB` or `2 BB`
put the stroke on the painted copy of its fill, under the clipped art; it
now goes on the clipping path too. Several clipping paths in one group
make one compound path, which keeps their stroke, opacity and blend mode
when they all have the same ones.
View > Outline was one app-wide flag saved in the interface preferences,
so after Cmd+Y every later launch drew every opened or new document as
outlines, with no fills. The flag is now part of each document's view:
a document opens in Preview, each tab shows its own Outline or Preview,
and the setting is not saved at launch. An older preferences file that
holds the flag still loads, and its value is ignored.
The Outline command and ui.set's outline act on the active document and
are an error without one.
While a polygon, star or rounded rectangle is dragged out, Up and Down
change its side count, point count or corner radius, and Ctrl/Cmd on a
star changes its inner-to-outer ratio. Escape canceled the drag but kept
those values, so the next drag and the tool's options started from a
shape that was never made.
- ShapeTool keeps those options as they were when the drag began and
Escape puts them back. A drag that is let go keeps the changed values.
An option set with tool.setOption during the drag stays.
- Session::tool_key saves the tool's options when a key cancels a
gesture, so the saved options and General > Corner Radius hold the
values Escape put back.
- docs/target-app-parity.md has one line for it.
Save… in the Document Info panel menu now writes only the category the
panel shows, with Selection Only applied. With All Categories shown it
writes every category, as before. docInfo.save takes an optional
category (a document.info category id) and passes it to document.info.
Simplify Anchors (Keep Shape) simplified every path under the selection,
locked and hidden paths and paths in locked or hidden groups included.
It now takes only the paths Document::editable allows, as the health
check and Rejoin Path Pieces already do.
Deep Ungroup took apart hidden and locked groups inside the selection,
so their members became visible or unlocked. A hidden or locked group
now stays whole, a locked or hidden object named in ids is left alone,
and members that are locked or hidden themselves keep that and are not
selected. With no group to take apart, the reply's ids list the
selection, which stays as it was.
The Edit tab's color mode menu offers Global Adjust, with Saturation,
Brightness, Temperature and Luminosity sliders from -100% to 100% that
open at 0%, which changes nothing. One slider changes every recolored
color, each one separately, in its own model; the rows keep their new
colors and the art previews the change. The Edit tab also shows the
color sliders of the selected new color in the other modes.
recolor.apply takes globalAdjust {saturation, brightness, temperature,
luminosity}. Excluded rows and colors no row holds stay as they are, a
rewritten color group takes the same change, and with Limit to Library
each row's new color takes it before it snaps to the library.

A version 7 text object has no arbitrary-angle character rotation: its
character attributes include baseline shift (Ts), scaling (Tz) and
tracking (Tt), Tv only turns Roman characters 90 degrees in vertical
text, and the positioning operators such as Tm are ignored on reading.
Type with Character Rotation was written as editable text with the
rotation left out, so rotated characters opened upright.
Such type is now written as its glyphs' outlines, the way type 8-bit text
can't hold already is, with the warning "type with rotated characters is
written as outlines, which keep the rotation, and is no longer editable
text". The outlines keep each character's rotation, baseline shift and
scale. Type without rotated characters, and type turned a whole number of
times, is still written as text.

A Separation space whose colorant is named All paints every plate, and
one named None paints nothing (ISO 32000-1:2008, 8.6.6.4). EPS export
wrote a spot swatch's name as its colorant, so a spot color named All
printed on every plate and one named None did not print.
Such an ink is now written as All Spot or None Spot, numbered All Spot 2
and on when a spot swatch already has that name, in its Separation
space, DeviceN spaces and the %%DocumentCustomColors and
%%CMYKCustomColor comments. At PostScript Level 3, a gradient that mixes
one of these inks with another spot ink or with process or gray stops is
now a DeviceN shading instead of process colors. Registration still
writes All.
A gradient of one spot ink's tints and paper white is written as a
Separation shading in that ink, with each white stop at 0% of it. A
white stop linked to a swatch that is not a spot color (a global White
swatch, for example) did not count as paper white. In an RGB document
the spot ink was then dropped: a Classic gradient was written in the
stops' own colors, and a Perceptual one was exported as an image in
process colors.
Such a stop now counts as paper white in the Separation and DeviceN
paths and in the checks that pick them, as an unlinked white stop does.
A stop linked to a white spot color is still a stop of that ink.
Gamut Check reported "1 colour(s) are out of the CMYK gamut". It now
reports "1 color is out of the CMYK gamut", "3 colors are out of the
CMYK gamut" and "All colors are within the CMYK gamut", and the status
bar shows them in the interface language through new @msg and
@msgplural rows in every catalog. The plain catalog rows for the old
British text are removed, since the status bar does not read them.
An override on a dynamic symbol instance names an object of its symbol's
art by path. Replace Symbol kept every override whose path the new
symbol's art also had, so a change made to one object of the old symbol
was applied to an unrelated object of the new one. An instance given a
different symbol now drops its overrides; an instance replaced with its
own symbol keeps them. Undo brings them back.
A clipping path hides the art outside it. Empty Text removed empty type
that clips a clipping group, and Off-Artboard Art removed type that clips
a layer from off every artboard, so the art they hid showed. Both now
leave type that is a clipping path, as the other kinds already did, also
when the clipping path itself is selected.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Artwork Cleanup kinds table).
A legacy .ai stores layer, object, color, gradient, pattern, style and
swatch names as bytes, without saying which code page they are in.
Names that aren't UTF-8 are still read as Windows-1252 by default, and
now each gives a warning naming it and the encoding it was read in (the
first three, then a count).
document.open takes legacyNameEncoding (windows-1252, macintosh,
windows-949 or euc-kr, shift_jis, gbk, big5) and vectorcraft-cli
convert takes --legacy-name-encoding, to read those names in another
code page. Definitions and the fills that name them are read alike, so
they still match. Type, comments, dictionary keys and PDF layer names
are read as before.
encoding_rs becomes a direct dependency of vectorcraft-eps.
Part of #2831
Applying a data set wrote a text value into the bound frame only, and the
thread's reflow then joined it with the other frames' old text. The art no
longer matched the row it had just applied, a captured row applied back lost
text, and a value bound to a later frame deleted the rest of the story.
- A text value bound to any frame of threaded text replaces the whole story,
which then flows through the frames again. `overflow` names the story's
last frame.
- Capture Data Set, Update Data Set and the Variables panel's match check
read such a frame as the whole story, frames joined in thread order.
- When any frame of the story is locked, the text value is skipped and
counted in `skipped`, and the story is not read.
- Two text variables bound in one story apply in definition order, as for
two on one object: the one defined last wins.
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
The editing data keeps each styled object's drawn look, the outline as
the file draws it, next to the editable path. An object whose art style
was one stroke with a width profile came in as a live stroke instead, and
VectorCraft's width profile does not draw these strokes at the widths the
file draws them, so outlines no longer met the fills built against them.
Such an object now comes in as its drawn look, as other styles that
VectorCraft cannot draw the same way already do. Type keeps the stroke
and its profile live, since its drawn look cannot be retyped. The import
warning for drawn looks now names variable-width strokes.
Version 7 files write each palette swatch as its paint and `Pc`, with no
name. The reader only kept a swatch with a name before `Pc`, so such a
palette gave no swatches and the document got the default set.
A swatch without a name is now named by its spot color, gradient or
pattern, or by its values in the format the swatch import already uses
for unnamed colors ("Gray K=25", "C=25 M=0 Y=0 K=0"). `Pn` and a `Pc`
with no paint before it add nothing. Named swatches keep their names.
An operator the reader does not know, or a `Pg`, now ends the paint
before it, so a later `(name) Pc` no longer takes that paint. The
swatch limit is kept with a running count instead of summing every
group at each `Pc`.
A run's solid fill and its stroke no longer share one edge group, so the
stroke's edge inside the characters takes the method. docs/mcp.md says the
native document an SVG, PDF or EPS file carries keeps each frame's method.
Without `precision` 500 coordinates of every size reopen bit for bit and a
second save writes the same bytes. Halves round away from zero, a closed
path keeps its closing anchor on its first one, a shape smaller than one
step collapses onto one point, coordinates at the edge of the canvas round
to the asked places, and saving a rounded file again at the same precision
writes the same bytes. docs/mcp.md states these rules.
The color sliders now mark the row they edit with `model: "new"`
instead of a dialog-wide flag, and `recolor.apply` reads a row's own
`model` before the command's. Rows the sliders did not edit keep each
color's model, so with RGB art and a CMYK color group, a slider edit of
one row no longer turns the other rows' art CMYK. Another edit of the
row's new color, Reset and rows reduced again remove the mark, and
`recolor.randomize` moves it with its new color.
A wheel drag or a harmony rule on the Edit tab now removes a row's tint
when it gives the row another new color, as the color sliders, the hex
field and the Color Picker already do. With Limit to Library, an edit
that snaps back to the row's own color keeps the tint.
recolor.randomize moves each row's tint with its new color when it
shuffles the order, and removes the tint from a color that saturation
and brightness changes.
The Assign tab gets a Color Mode menu (HSB, RGB, CMYK, Lab, and Tint when
the row's new color is a spot color of the Limit to Library library) and
its sliders under the rows. They edit the first selected row's new color
and are disabled with no row selected. Once they have edited a color in a
mode, the preview and OK send recolor.apply with model "new", so the art
takes the color in that mode.
recolor.apply rows take an optional tint (percent, default 100): art linked
to the row's global or spot library swatch takes that share of its tint.
recolor.randomize keeps a row's tint.
The Paragraph panel menu (with the East Asian options) gains Kinsoku Shori
Type, and text.setFormat takes kinsokuType. Where the Kinsoku Set keeps a
character off the start of the next line or the end of this one, Push In
First sets it on the line and closes the line's gaps next to CJK
characters to fit, each by at most a tenth of an em of the character
before it; a line that cannot close up that much, or that holds a tab,
pushes out. With Optical Margin Alignment or Roman Hanging Punctuation
on, the gaps that hanging punctuation keeps open are not counted. Push
Out First pushes in only when pushing out would leave the line more than
an em short. Push Out Only, the default, is the line breaking area type
had before, so existing documents lay out unchanged. The setting does
nothing with Kinsoku Set None, is saved only when it is not Push Out
Only, and paragraph styles carry it. Reset Panel sets it back to Push
Out Only.

Object > Plug-ins > Color Effects > Find Nearest Swatch... picks a
library (the document's swatches, a built-in library, or a library or
colour book the user saved or loaded) and Fill and Stroke, and lists
each colour of the selection with its three closest swatches and their
CIEDE2000 difference. Apply gives each colour its nearest swatch as one
undo step.
- addon.color.nearestSwatch (a query): the closest swatches of a
library to each colour of the selection's fills and strokes (solid
colours and gradient stops, inside groups and type), or to a colour
given, with deltaE; count 1..50.
- addon.color.applyNearestSwatch: recolours those paints (and gradient
meshes) to their nearest swatch; global and spot swatches link, and a
library's swatches the colours take are added to the document first
(as swatch.library.add adds them), so a spot colour stays spot.
- The library picker Image Trace's Document Library uses moves to the
Swatches panel module and is shared.
- No colour book data ships: only libraries VectorCraft computes or the
user loads are searched.
A Perceptual linear or radial gradient that mixes spot colors with each
other or with CMYK or gray stops was written as an image in process
colors. It is now written as a DeviceN shading of its inks, with the
stops on its Perceptual curve: at each one, the inks of the two stops on
either side are mixed at the weight where the two colors mixed in
display RGB have the OKLab lightness of the color on the curve.
- Gradient::ink_mixes gives the curve's stops as weights between stops,
under the same 4,096-stop limit as ink_tints.
- Perceptual gradients that mix a spot color with RGB or Lab stops,
dithered fills and freeform gradients stay images, and the warning
now names those cases.
Baseline shift now moves a character in the line's frame, outside
Character Rotation, so a positive shift moves a character up from its
line at any rotation, and the character turns about its shifted pen
position. The Touch Type tool splits a drag into its part along the line
(kerning) and its part up from the line (baseline shift) at every
rotation; before, within about 6 degrees of a quarter turn it dropped
the cross-line part.
Characters that already combine a rotation with a baseline shift are
drawn in a new position. Their stored values do not change.
- text: glyph transform order, PositionedGlyph::pivot (the turning
point), tab leaders in the same order
- tools: Touch Type splits drags against the line's up axis and measures
rotate-handle turns about the shifted pen position
- engine: text.touchType description; dy is up from the line
