The panel menu's item added the artboard and left the active artboard
where it was, while the panel's button, the Control bar and Properties
made the new one active. All four now call one helper. With the Artboard
tool, the new artboard is then the only one selected.
When the link-watch worker unwound before storing its stamps,
poll_link_scan returned None on every frame and left link_scan set. The
app then asked for a repaint every 100 ms and start_link_scan returned
early, so the app did not look for changed linked files in the
background again for the rest of the session.
poll_link_scan now clears a look that has ended without stamps. The new
ended_without_stamps helper holds the slot's lock across its read of the
stamps and its read of the ended flag, so a look whose worker stores its
stamps during the check is applied. The app goes back to its two-second
wake, and the next look starts on schedule. A look still running and a
look that stored its stamps behave as before.
Clipping paths in a compound path that holds a drawn look become one
compound path. It took the paths' shared stroke, opacity and blend mode
but dropped the knockout shape flag. It now has the flag when every
clipping path has it.
An `Xy` whose shape operand is set now reaches an image (embedded or
linked) and a gradient mesh when it is written before the object, and a
mesh or blend when it is written after the object's end. A live blend
takes the flag from its drawn steps. Before, the reader dropped the flag
on these objects, so an image saved with Opacity & Mask Define Knockout
Shape lost it on reopening, with no warning.
A styled object takes the flag written on its drawn look. For a text
object, the flag goes to the object when the look draws only its type,
and otherwise to the group that holds the look and the type. An opaque
look that draws more than the type and sets the flag now goes into that
group as well.
Area type whose open frame ends where it starts was written as text and
read back in a closed frame. It is now written as its outlines, alone or
as a frame of a thread.
The reader gives an Xy right after a compound path or a text object to
that object. The writer now writes XR before the Xy of type, images and
guides, so type next to type, a compound path before type, image or
guide, and type before an image or guide keep their own opacity, blend
mode and knockout shape flag.
- Type keeps its Isolate Blending and Knockout Group state in a state
block after its text object, as its outlines did on their group.
- The reader no longer gives a layer the Xy before its last text object.
- The ASCII85 end marker of the text document stays on one line.
- The warning and docs/file-format-parity.md also list area type in an
open frame, type on an open path whose ends meet, type of only white
space and threads of type on a path as written as outlines.
- README.md, ROADMAP.md, docs/gaps.md, docs/roadmap.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md describe the editing copy a saved .ai holds.
- clip_path's doc comment is back on clip_path.
- import_fuzz reaches threaded area type and vertical type.
a_pan_moves_the_marks_without_building_them covered Direct Selection
only. It now runs with both tools.
The module comment and MAX_PAN's comment now say what is kept as
triangles and as document points, and when a pan builds the marks again.
A test label now says points rather than px.
The timings in docs/target-app-parity.md are measured again with 10 fill
colors on the 2,000 circles. The pixel sentence there also names the
rounding errors of kept vertices.
