Window › Graphic Style Libraries › Textures, after Hand-Drawn, holds eight
styles that paint their fills and strokes with the texture effects: Fine
Grain (Grain), Canvas Weave and Burlap Sack (Texturizer), Cracked Glaze
(Craquelure), Mosaic Floor (Mosaic Tiles), Quilted Squares (Patchwork),
Leaded Glass (Stained Glass) and Damp Paper (Water Paper). The styles,
their names and their settings are VectorCraft's own.
Each catalog has rows for the library and style names. Docs: docs/mcp.md,
docs/gaps.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
After File > Open the status bar showed only the first of the import's
notes. A file whose layers weren't read could give another note first:
the EPS reader adds its note about brushes left out of the Brushes panel
before the note that the file came in as its page, so the status bar
named the brushes and not the page.
The status bar now names the first note that says reading the file left
something out (the notes that make Save ask before writing over the
file), else the first note, and still counts them all. When there are
several, hovering the message lists them in that order, translated where
the catalogs have them, as many as fit in the window and at most 30,
then how many more. Screen readers get the list after the message. The
status bar shows the list only while it shows the open's message. The
open's reply keeps its notes in the import's order.

Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate take a Shadows switch on the
Lighting tab, with Position (Behind Object or Below Object), Distance from
Object (0 to 100%) and Shadow Bounds (10 to 400%), saved in the effect as
shadow, shadowPosition, shadowDistance and shadowBounds.
With shadows on, the first light casts a hard-edged vector shadow of the
solid: every face of every solid of the object projected along the light
onto a plane behind the object (square to the view) or below it (square to
its own vertical axis and turned with it), filled black with the nonzero
rule at 50% times the opacity of the art that casts it, in that art's
blending mode, and drawn behind the solids. Distance moves the plane away
by a share of the object's largest size; Bounds ends the plane at a square
about the foot of the object's center, four times that size across at
100%. No shadow is drawn while Shading is off, when the first light's
intensity is 0, or when it does not reach the plane. A member's opacity
mask and blending mode apply to the part of the shadow it casts. A shadow
is cast from at most 327,680 faces; past that, commands are refused and a
loaded file draws the source path. The canvas, SVG and PDF exports draw the
shadow, and Expand Appearance keeps it as a path. Values out of range are
refused before the document changes.

docs/target-app-parity.md evidence list.
These commands read optional numbers and flags with f64_or and bool_or,
so a value such as "10" or "yes" ran the command with the default. They
now return an error and leave the document, the selection and the undo
history as they were. Omitting a key or giving null behaves as before.
- edit.duplicate, edit.paste, guide.move, object.slice.duplicate: dx, dy
- guide.move: copy
- document.node: summary
- edit.undoGroup.end: cancel
- guide.add: vertical
- guide.select, object.slice.select: toggle
- select.editSaved: delete; newName must be a string
- select.save: name must be a string
- file.close: index must be a non-negative integer
Object > Image Trace > Make and Make and Expand, and Object > Pattern >
Make and Edit Pattern, are no longer listed or accepted by
`ui.action.insertMenuItem`. Their menu items do more than run the
command: Image Trace traces off the UI thread with progress and Cancel,
and the Pattern items open the Pattern Options panel. Action playback
runs only the command.
Insert Stop and Insert Menu Item, given a set and action, now count the
steps that the recording in progress adds to that set, so the set as
Stop Playing/Recording leaves it stays within 10,000 steps per action
and 8 MiB as a file.
The command descriptions list every kind of menu item that cannot be
a step.

With a TIFF preview, each EPS file's PNG thumbnail is now the preview
averaged down to the thumbnail's size and composited on white, so
export and Save draw the page once instead of twice. The thumbnail
keeps the size a 128 px render of the page has; a page that fits in
128 px gets the preview's own pixels. Without a preview the thumbnail
is still drawn.
- Rendered::area_resized averages premultiplied pixels over the area
under each new pixel, weighting edge pixels by the share they cover,
and returns an error for a 0 side or a buffer that does not match.
