Optical moved every pair all the way to a fixed 0.08 em ink gap, tighter
than most text faces' own stem spacing, so ordinary text was squeezed
(at 100 pt, Source Sans 3 `nn` closed from 54.7 to 46.9 pt).
Each pair now moves 0.6 of the way toward the face's reference gap (the
median ink gap of `nn`, else `HH` or `oo`; 0.08 em when it has none),
keeps at least 0.3 of it at its narrowest, and changes by at most
0.12 em tighter or 0.06 em looser. Ideographs, kana, hangul, fullwidth
and CJK punctuation forms and dashes keep the font's spacing.

The method help of paint.editGradient and docs/mcp.md said a Perceptual
gradient with spot stops becomes an image in PDF unless every other stop
is paper white, CMYK or gray. PDF export checks each stop's color as it is
written: a CMYK document, or an export that converts colors to a CMYK
destination profile, writes RGB and Lab stops in CMYK, so the gradient
becomes a DeviceN shading. Both texts now say so, and a test covers the
CMYK document and CMYK destination cases.
Follows #5442.
- text.setGlyphAlternate keeps the default glyph as a choice when a
feature of the character's style (salt, a stylistic set) draws another
glyph for it, so the default glyph is drawn. A character that is not
laid out (overflowing text) is shaped alone in its style to decide.
gid: null reports the glyph the style draws.
- The Glyphs panel's alternates grid shows the default glyph first when
the font does not list it, so a chosen alternate can be put back.
- A test for a chosen character that starts a longer grapheme (f with a
combining acute), which is not split from its mark.
- The alternates tests in the engine hold the shared font lock while
they add fonts to the global font database.
The type.size.* commands, type.resetTracking and type.resetHorizontalScale
do not take `id`, `start` or `end`, so they refuse those keys as unknown
parameters. The list in docs/mcp.md now leaves them out.
addon.select.byArtboards {artboards, relation} in a new Selection Tools
add-on. Overlapping is All on Active Artboard's test, now one shared
helper (select::on_artboard); Fully inside is within one artboard, edges
included; Fully outside is on none. Objects are those Select All takes.

OK in Tate-chu-yoko Settings read an Up/Down or Left/Right that is not a
length as 0 and applied it. It now returns "Up/Down must be a number" or
"Left/Right must be a number" and keeps the dialog open, and a blank
field leaves its value alone.
Select > Object > All on Same Layers took the layer of every selected
object, including one that select.set had kept while it is hidden or
locked, on a template layer, on a locked artboard, or outside the
isolated group. That object's layer then decided which art was
selected. The command now takes the layers only of the selected
objects that the Select commands could select. When the selection
holds no such object, it clears the selection.
The PDF writer writes a spot gradient as a Separation or DeviceN shading
only when it is linear or radial; freeform gradients and dithered fills
are written as images in process colors.
- `paint.editGradient`'s method help and the Method paragraph in
docs/mcp.md limit the Perceptual exception to linear and radial
gradients.
- The Linked gradient stops paragraph in docs/mcp.md no longer says the
writer has no DeviceN: a gradient mixing spot inks with other spot,
CMYK or gray inks exports as a DeviceN shading, and only a mix with RGB
or Lab colors is written in process colors, with a warning.
text.tabs.set and text.tabs.clear return without an edit when every
targeted paragraph already holds the stops. A Ctrl-drag that the 0 pt
bound keeps from moving, or a drag released where it started, no longer
adds an undo step that changes nothing. When one targeted paragraph
holds other stops, the command still sets them all.
OK in Shape Builder Tool Options sent highlightColor to tool.setOption,
which keeps only #rrggbb, so #ff000080 was applied as #ff0000 with no
error. OK now gives the same error as the Live Paint tool options for a
hex color with an alpha part (#rrggbbaa or #rgba), the dialog stays open
and the tool's options do not change. The tool.options params text,
docs/mcp.md and the progress doc say so.
Step by Step and Pause For remember the document that was active after each step. When the next step is due and a different document is active (another one was made active, or that one was closed), the playback ends with a status and the rest of the steps do not run. A step that makes another document active itself does not end the playback.
Step by Step holds the frame after Play, so the first step's result is drawn before the
second step runs, also when the panel's Play button runs after the canvas drew.
An action step recorded as command.batch (an action played while recording, including one
playing at Step by Step or Pause For, or a panel operation that runs as one batch) now plays
as its own steps in Play and Batch..., instead of failing with "batches cannot nest".
The Actions panel menu's Playback Options... sets how actions play (ui.action.playbackOptions {speed?, seconds?}). Accelerated, the default, plays every step at once as one undo step, as before. Step by Step plays one step per frame so the canvas draws each step's result, and Pause For waits 1 to 60 seconds between steps; each paced step is its own undo step. Stop Playing/Recording ends a paced playback, and another action does not play while one is paced. The setting is kept with the UI preferences. Batch... plays at full speed.
Batch Trace Folder replaces a script, so it is now a Document Tools
add-on command, addon.document.batchTraceFolder, under Object ›
Plug-ins › Document Tools (as Export All Open Documents is), and no
longer in Object › Image Trace. Behaviour, caps and the refusal of a
folder too big to list in full are unchanged; the tests move with it.
The status messages have @msgplural rows in every catalog, as does the
menu label. When some images trace and some don't, the status is one
counted message ("Traced {n} images; not traced: {failed}") so it
translates as a whole.
list_dir cuts its listing before sorting, so a cut listing could skip any image. The batch now
stops with an error instead of tracing part of the folder.
imageTrace.batchFolder opens each image in a folder, traces it with a
preset (optionally expanded), saves it into a destination folder under
its own name (vectorcraft, svg, pdf, ai or eps; taken names numbered so
nothing is replaced) and closes it again whether it traced or not; the
active document stays active. Object > Image Trace > Batch Trace Folder
asks for both folders. Not on the web.
text.areaOptions given for several area type frames (ids, or a selection of
several) copied the first frame's options onto all of them, so setting one
option (say the vertical alignment) also replaced the others' columns, gutter,
inset and fit. Each frame now takes only the options given over its own, and
fit resolves against each frame's own setting, so fitMinPercent alone changes
only frames that already shrink text to fit. Options that change nothing add
no undo step and keep redo.
The `method` text of `paint.editGradient` and the Method paragraph in
docs/mcp.md said SVG and PDF exports draw a Perceptual gradient as an
image. PDF writes an eligible one natively: tints of one spot ink as a
Separation shading in that ink, and spot inks mixed with other spot,
CMYK or gray inks as a DeviceN shading. Gradients without spot stops,
with RGB or Lab stops, dithered fills and curves with too many stops
still become images there. Both texts now say so.
The Navigator panel menu's Panel Options… is enabled and opens a dialog with
the view box color (a preset or a custom color; Light Red, today's color, is
the default) and Draw Dashed Lines as Solid Lines, off by default, which draws
dashed strokes without their dashes in the panel's thumbnail only. The
options are kept with the UI state, and ui.navigatorPanelOptions sets them.
RenderOptions::solid_dashes draws dashed strokes as solid lines, including
type strokes and the silhouettes of stroke effects.
layer.setProps, layer.new, layer.newSublayer and livePaint.gapOptions read
an 8-digit hex color such as #ff000080 as #ff0000 and set it without its
alpha. They now refuse it with the error a bad color already gets, and
change nothing. #rgba was already refused. #rrggbb, #rgb, a preset index
and a preset name are read as before.
`Color::from_hex` reads `#rrggbbaa` and keeps only its first six digits, so
a `color` set to `#ff000080` through `ui.dialog.set` was applied as
`#ff0000` without an error by Tile Edge Color, Live Paint Selection Tool
Options, Live Paint Bucket Options and Gap Options.
- A new `checked` next to `resolve` in `dialogs/tile_edge_color.rs` gives
the existing "is not a colour" error for an 8-digit hex color, and
otherwise reads the color as `resolve` does. `resolve` is unchanged, so
the swatches the dialogs draw with it show such a color by its RGB as
before.
- Each of the four dialogs' OK checks the color with `checked` first, and
leaves the dialog open with nothing changed. Tile Edge Color and Gap
Options already refused `#rgba`, which `from_hex` does not read. Live
Paint Selection and Live Paint Bucket used to ignore a color they could
not read, such as `#f008`, and apply their other fields; their OK now
refuses it.
- With Preview on, Gap Options sends no color for a `#rrggbbaa` value, so
the groups keep their own color, and the previewed gaps draw in black.
Docs: the params text, docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md.
The params text of select.same.symbolInstance, docs/mcp.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md now say that the object compared with can be
of any kind (a group member selected on its own, or an object that is
not a symbol instance, which leaves the selection empty), and that new
art on a locked artboard is not passed over while it stays selected.
A test covers the three cases.
Remove Text Tweaker's own start and end check: range_of already refuses
a bad offset given with an id, and like the other type commands Text
Tweaker now ignores start and end without one. The test's "2" case
gets an id so it still reaches the check, and docs/mcp.md lists
addon.type.textTweaker with the commands that refuse such offsets.
text.startList read a negative or fractional `at` as the end of the
text, so it could remove a typed list marker there and start a list.
The `start` and `end` of text.editRange, text.getRange,
text.setRangeStyle and the type shortcut commands given an `id` read
such values as the start or end of the text.
These now return "`at` must be a whole number" (naming the key) and
change nothing. Omitted or null keys keep their defaults, and 2.0 is
read as 2.
Object > Expand with Object on now turns each symbol instance in the
selection, including one in a selected group or in a placed document's
art, into its art, as Break Link to Symbol places it. It goes one level
deep: the instances in that art stay instances. The art keeps the
instance's id and place in the stacking order, and Expand stays one
undo step.
- Instances with effects stay instances, and Expand Appearance bakes
them as before. Instances with an effect on a fill or stroke,
instances in perspective, and those in blends, repeats and Intertwine
groups stay instances.
- The art keeps the instance's opacity mask, as Break Link gives it.
- A hidden or locked instance's art stays hidden or locked.
- A placed document in an instance's art is expanded too.
- When the instances' art would make more than 1,000,000 objects, they
stay instances, the limit Break Link uses.
- The Fill and Stroke options (object.expand.info, and the Expand
dialog) count the fills, strokes and gradients in the art of those
instances, with a dynamic instance's own changes applied. The info
reports under symbolArt which of them only that art holds, and the
dialog enables those options only while Object is on.
While the Type tool edits a frame of threaded text, Select All selects
the text of every frame of the story, highlighted in each frame. The
tool edits the first frame that holds text.
- Typing, Delete and Cut replace the whole story as one undo step
(`text.editRange` takes `clear`, the other frames whose text goes).
- Copy and Cut take the whole story (`text.getRange {id, story: true}`).
- Fills and strokes, `type.step`, `appearance.copyFrom`, the Character,
Paragraph, OpenType and text style panels, the Tabs panel's tab
stops, the font menus and the Justification dialog act on every
frame's text (`text.setRangeStyle {id, story: true}` styles them in
one edit).
- A caret move, a click or a word or paragraph selection ends it.
Select All in unthreaded type is unchanged.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Template sets Lock again even when Lock was set in the dialog before it,
so a template layer is always locked. Only a Dim Images set before
Template keeps its value.
Setting Template in the dialog (the checkbox, or ui.dialog.set of template)
also set Lock and Dim Images, replacing a value set in the dialog earlier.
That value was then sent to every selected row, and ui.dialog.set gave
different results depending on the order of its fields. A Lock or Dim Images
set in the dialog now keeps its value when Template changes.
A .ai file whose PDF part has a page for each artboard had its layers
compared with the first page only. Art that the layers drew on a later
artboard and its page didn't, or that a later page drew and the layers
didn't, opened from the layers with no warning, and a text object that a
later page doesn't draw stayed.
When the PDF part has a page for every artboard, each page is now
compared with the layers on its artboard, and the comparison fails when
any page differs by more than it allows. Text objects that a later page
doesn't draw are weighed there and left out, unless their layer doesn't
print. Art that differs on a later page is handled as on the first page:
such files now open from their PDF part with the usual warning, where
they opened from their layers before. A PDF part with pages for some of
the artboards, or with its pages cropped to the art, is still compared
on its first page only. Pages are compared until their comparison
drawings take 8,388,608 pixels (about 67 letter-size pages, or 4 when the
PDF part is only images), and at most 128 pages are compared. The type
share in the import's note is now that of the page whose type differs
most.
The layers are drawn once for the pages of the same size and cut into
each page's part. Each page moves by less than half a pixel to start on
a whole pixel, and the column or row the move takes past its artboard
isn't compared. Each page's drawing and result are kept until the layers
change, for the last two documents weighed. Taking a text object out
draws again only the pages within reach of it (every page when type
wraps).
An artboard, or the page of an EPS's editing data, whose sides are within
half a point of its page's is drawn on an area of the page's size, so
both drawings have the same number of pixels. Before, such a file could
open without its layers when the half point changed the rounded size of
its drawing, even when its layers matched the page.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Capture sweep-piece source attribution before endpoint pinning can move its
midpoint off the original outlines. Keep the existing lookup after pinning
when the original piece has no source.
Add planar coverage and native compound Make/Expand/undo regressions, and
document the existing front-most source-fill rule.
Select > Same > Fill Color, Stroke Color, Fill & Stroke, Stroke Weight,
Opacity, Blending Mode, Appearance, Shape, Graphic Style and Appearance
Attribute compared the other objects with the first selected object,
even when select.set had put a hidden or locked object, one on a
template layer or one outside the isolated group first. They now take
the first selected object that the Select commands could select, in
selection order, and keep the compound path and isolation rules for it.
A selection that holds no such object returns "nothing selected".
add_text's vertical option turns on the OpenType vert feature, so the docs no
longer say it leaves glyph orientation unchanged. ui.actionSet.duplicate uses
the current set when set is omitted, with or without action.
Read RGB and HSB numbers in the active working RGB space in the Color panel
and Color Picker. Keep native values through hex and web-safe controls and
cache live components by native color and color settings.
Break Link to Symbol dropped the instance's opacity mask. The art now
keeps it, or a group around the art holds it when the symbol's art has
a mask of its own. The objects in the instance's mask art count against
Break Link's limit of 1,000,000 objects.
A `start` or `end` such as -1 or 1.5 was read as absent and changed text
before the range; it is now refused. Characters that already have the value
are left out, so a run that changes nothing returns count 0 and makes no
undo step. docs/mcp.md cites the public formatting-type page.

docs/mcp.md says that the default weight text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle give an unweighted stroke is in the type's own units, so scaled type draws it wider, while strokeWidth and strokeOptions lengths are in document points.
The test moves from an inline module in cmd/textedit.rs to
tests/charstroke.rs and uses that file's helpers. docs/mcp.md says that
text.setRangeStyle gives a range's stroke a 1 pt weight as text.setStyle
does, and that its strokeWidth and strokeOptions lengths are in document
points.
When an effect on a layer or a group draws copies of its art, the editing
data holds the type of each copy inside the drawn look. The reader skipped
that type, so the copies came in without text objects, the page's type for
them was given to other groups by painting order, and the import noted that
a text object may be in another group than it was.
The reader now keeps such type as a text slot without a story, in the
copy's group. The page's type that lies over a copy's other art (at least
half of it in the art's box) goes to that copy's slots by painting order,
before the rest is given out. Of overlapping copies, the one that holds
more of it takes it, and the smaller one on a tie. When the page's type
outside the copies is too little for the other text objects, a copy with
more of the page's text objects than slots leaves the extra ones to them.
A slot that gets no type
is removed and not counted as a text object that couldn't be read.
Type beside a copy's art, and every copy's type in a file past the import's
text-object limits or opened with its type as outlines, goes as before. A
text object with an appearance keeps its own type as before.
With several rows highlighted, Layer Options shows the first row's
settings, and OK sent Show, Lock, Color, Template, Print, Preview and
Dim Images to layer.setProps for every row. Changing one setting gave
every row the first row's values for all of the others as well.
The dialog now records each setting set by one of its controls or by
ui.dialog.set, and for several rows OK sends only those. A setting set
to the value the dialog shows is still sent, so choosing the first row's
color gives every row that color.
When Template changes and Lock and Dim Images are not set in the dialog,
OK does not send them. layer.setProps then locks each row that becomes
a template and dims it to 50%, unless a percentage is set in the dialog,
and unlocks and stops dimming each row that stops being one. When
Template is turned on, the dialog shows that 50%. When Template is set
back to the first row's value, the dialog shows the first row's Lock,
Dim Images and percentage again. A Dim Images percentage set in the
dialog is sent whenever Dim Images is on, also when Template turned it
on.
ui.dialog.set of template now also sets locked and dimImages, as the
Template checkbox does, for one row as well as several. Before, a script
that set template to true and confirmed the dialog left the layer
unlocked and undimmed.
The Dim Images percentage field now has the accessible name "Dim Images
to:", as its checkbox has.
