A graph keeps paints for its series and labels, and character and
paragraph style names for its labels, which each redraw gives the
marks and labels. Copy did not follow them, so a graph pasted into
another document left those swatches and styles behind, and a paste
that renamed them left the graph pointing at the old names.
Copy now collects them and paste relinks them, as it does for type.
Paste without Formatting drops the labels' style names, so it still
leaves text styles behind.
A raster effect (Drop Shadow, Outer Glow, Gaussian Blur and the other
effects that paint pixels) on a symbol instance's topmost fill now draws
on each filled shape of the symbol's art, and one on its topmost stroke
draws on each stroked shape, after any geometry effects listed before
it. The same rules as for geometry effects apply: only a visible fill or
stroke with an opacity above 0 counts, a group's own fills and strokes
in the art take the effect, and an instance inside the art passes it on.
The canvas, Use Preview Bounds and the drawn bounds, SVG and PDF export
draw it, and Object > Expand Appearance is enabled for such an instance:
a shadow or glow becomes an image under the instance, and a blur,
feather or inner glow replaces it with the image, in one undo step.
Existing documents with a raster effect on a symbol instance's fill or
stroke draw differently: before, the effect drew nothing.
Two windows or processes using one Plug-ins folder could interleave their
writes: an install from one could leave its module with the other's grant,
a grant written for one plug-in could drop one written for another, and
plug-in settings and cache changes could lose each other's keys or pass the
cache caps together.
Each change to the folder now runs in one turn on disabled.lock, the file
the disabled list was already locked with:
- plugin.install takes the turn before it reads the stored grants and holds
it through the module, grant, put-back and disabled-list writes;
plugin.remove holds it through grant removal and storage deletion.
- Grant writes, the disabled list, loading the folder, and the plug-ins'
settings and cache changes read and write in a turn.
- When disabled.lock can't be locked, plugin.install and plugin.remove fail
and change nothing, plugin.setEnabled keeps its change in the process, and
loading the folder writes nothing to it.

When links.update or links.relink re-read a DCS file and Placement
Options also clipped the image (Fill with Clip, or an aspect change
that overflows), the placement rectangle replaced the file's clipping
path, so plate art outside that path showed and printed.
The file's clip group now stays around the image and the placement's
clip goes in a clip group around it. The clip group holding just the
file's group takes that clip, as one holding just an image does today,
else a new one does, so later updates reuse the same two groups. A
file that loses its clipping path leaves its group as a plain group
inside the placement's clip. The same applies in symbols, graph
designs, patterns and opacity masks.
Merge copied a face's or edge's appearance to the part it rebuilds in its
place, but not its visibility, opacity or blending mode. A half-transparent
face drawn by its stroke became opaque, and a hidden edge was shown again.
Since #7294, object.setLiveShape refuses a negative `radius` and a
`sides` that is not a whole number from 3 to 1000. Session::replay
applied the same checks, so a journal entry or action step recorded
before that change with such a value stopped with a parameter error.
On replay, a negative radius now counts as 0, which is how it drew
before. A whole side count below 3 or above 1000 is brought into that
range, and a fractional or negative one is ignored. Direct calls still
refuse these values.
Expand kept a face only when its topmost fill had paint, and an edge only
when its topmost stroke had paint and a weight. A face or edge drawn by a
lower row under an unpainted top row was removed, and one whose only
painted row was hidden was kept as a visible path.
Expand now keeps a face or edge when it is shown, its opacity is above 0,
and any fill or stroke row is shown, has paint and an opacity above 0 (a
stroke also a weight above 0), with all of its rows. The rows are checked
with the new Appearance::has_drawn_fill and has_drawn_stroke.
Merge carried a face's topmost fill paint by the same topmost-row test.
It now carries every row of each face that draws by this rule, and of
each edge, pins their unplaced gradients to the old outline as
repaint_from does, and leaves the strokes' pen pressure, tilt, bearing
and rotation behind, since the rebuilt parts are other paths.
Docs: livePaint.expand params text, docs/mcp.md, and a line in
docs/target-app-parity.md, which also drops a repeated Live Paint
Selection marquee line.
A required index given as something other than a whole number of 0 or
more, such as "3", 2.5, -1 or true, was reported as missing: `anchor` of
path.setHandle, path.moveAnchor and text.setPathHandle, `segment` of
path.insertAnchor, and `to` of artboard.reorder, library.moveGroup and
graphicStyle.move. Each now refuses it with "`anchor` must be a whole
number", naming the key; left out or null, it is still missing.
An optional `subpath` of path.appendAnchor, path.close and path.reverse
given that way was read as left out, so the command extended, closed or
reversed the default subpath (path.reverse reversed every subpath). The
`artboard` of the ruler origin commands answered "index out of range"
for such a value and for null. Both now refuse such a value with the
same message and change nothing. A null `artboard` is artboard 0, as one
left out is; a whole number past the artboards is still out of range.
After Reset Bounding Box on a turned symbol instance, Break Link to
Symbol and Object > Expand gave the art a box turned with the instance's
transform again. The art's boxes now turn with the instance's own box,
so they stand square when the instance's box did, and the angles the
art has inside the symbol are kept relative to it. The group that an
instance's opacity, blending mode or opacity mask adds around the art
takes the instance's box angle instead of standing square to the page.
A reflected instance can hold a box 180 degrees from the box its
transform gives in one step; the art now takes the instance's box
there too, the same rectangle with its handles where the instance had
them.
Compound shapes and Pathfinder receive an instance's art through the
same rule.
The clip groups and clip paths that 9-slice guides make for gradient
and pattern art take the angle of the cell that places them, and the
outer group keeps the object's angle turned by the instance, instead
of standing square to the page. This also changes the result for an
instance that was never reset: a 20 degree sliced instance gave clip
groups at 0 degrees and now gives them at 20.

A command that needs a whole number of 0 or more, such as `index` of
`appearance.setItem`, `anchor` of `path.removeAnchor` and
`addon.pen.removePoint`, `sourceDocument` of `edit.dropSelection`, `index`
of `document.activate` and `to` of `document.move`, answered "missing
integer `index`" (or "missing index") both when the key was left out and
when it was given as a value that is not a whole number of 0 or more, such
as "3", 2.5, -1 or true. A value that is given but is not one is now
refused with "`index` must be a whole number", the message object ids
already use. A key left out or given as null is still missing, and an
optional index such as `subpath` keeps its default. Neither error changes
the document or records an undo step.

A swatch delete, Swatch Options edit, merge, Edit Color Group, Spot
Colors options change or Default Swatches replace run as a
command.batch step left the fill and stroke new art takes linked to the
old or deleted swatch, because the defaults were skipped whenever an
interaction was open. A batch step now rewrites them as the command run
on its own does; a live Swatch Options preview still leaves them alone,
and a failed batch or a canceled batch preview puts them back.
The same commands now also rewrite the fills and strokes of the
appearance new art takes, and record the change with their undo step,
so Undo and Redo put the paints for new art back with the swatches.
- After a fill drag, the Live Paint Bucket stores the release point, so the
cursor swatch preview shows there instead of where the pointer last moved
before the press.
- Arrow nudges and Alt+arrow type spacing read Shift and Alt from the key
press, as the tool keys do, so a modifier released within the same frame
still makes a 10 pt nudge, a copy, or a spacing step.
- tool.setOption accepts cursorSwatchPreview for the Live Paint Bucket and
refuses a value that is not true or false.
A closed freehand stroke is fitted as the open stroke would be and closed by a
straight segment from its end back to its start. Fitted as one loop, the
closing segment curved on past both ends and back, like a hat's brim.
A CSV file that holds NUL bytes and has no byte-order mark was refused.
It is now read as UTF-16 when at least half of its two-byte units hold
a NUL byte, in the byte order that reads a line break. A file with fewer
NUL bytes (UTF-8 or Windows-1252 text with stray NUL bytes, or UTF-16
text made mostly of characters above U+00FF) is still refused, and so is
a file that reads a line break in both byte orders, has an odd length,
isn't valid UTF-16 in that order or holds a NUL character. Refused files
get the same message as before.
A Live Paint Bucket click or drag over faces that already have the
fill, a stroke on an edge that already has the paint and width, Gap
Options with the options the groups have and no gap to close, and Make
or Merge given one Live Paint group alone now leave the document, the
undo and redo steps and the saved state as they are, and reply as
usual. Such a fill or stroke also leaves the recent colors as they are.
Gap Options with Close Gaps With Paths makes a group's faces again only
when it adds a path or what paint stops at changes, so the faces keep
their ids otherwise.
