With Background Save on, Package's OK started the save of a dirty
document on the worker and then wrote the package whether or not that
save succeeded. With both preferences off, a failed save already stopped
the package, so the result depended on the preferences.
The package now starts only after the save is written, with both
preferences in every combination. With Background Export on, it is still
collected from the document as it was at OK and starts once the save's
result arrives; when the save fails, or asks a question first, no package
is written and the save's error stays in the status bar. With Background
Export off, the dialog shows the save's error.
background::after runs a step on the UI thread once a job's result is
applied.
docs/mcp.md said twice that `pages` naming every page of a .ai saved
without PDF compatibility opens it from its editing data, once with the
file named and once as "such a file". The paragraph also ended in the
middle of a sentence: "`clipboard.importPdf` takes every object of its
editing".
The sentence now appears once, with the file named, and the paragraph
ends with "its editing data."
Docs: docs/mcp.md.
Saving with transparentImages "omit" now reports its note in the notes on
the options rather than in the warnings, so the test compares every note
the export gives.
A mesh envelope's points carry no color, so object.mesh.addLine with
a color at a point the envelope already has changes nothing. It now
compares only the envelope's points and handles and records no undo
step. The command text and docs/mcp.md say so.
object.mesh.addLine at a point that is already a mesh point (a corner,
a point on an edge or inside) adds neither a row nor a column, yet it
recorded an undo step. The lines are now added to a copy of the object
first: when the grid stays the same, including a mesh envelope stored
without handles, the command returns the point's index and records
nothing. A new color at the point is still one undo step.
The symbol instances the picker reads now share one limit of 16,000,000
placed objects, charged through charge_symbol_art and counted as the
renderer counts them, so deeply nested or heavily repeated instances
stop there. An instance whose art would pass the limit is left out with
its own paints, as the canvas draws none of it. Pattern tiles carry the
count in and out, and their art is read one level deeper than the
object the pattern fills, so a chain of patterns shares the depth limit
with the art around it; a pattern cut short there is read again where
it is used less deep.
The pixels read inside clip groups are now tested against at most
4,000,000 clipping-path elements in all. The clipped reads of one image
share the work, a read outside clip groups keeps its own pixel budget,
and when the work left can't test a pixel of every clipped read, the
reads that fit are kept in order and the rest are left out.
ImageBlob::sample_pixels takes a pixel budget for each pick.
A drag with the right or middle button on a Layers row could move or
copy the row, and the same drag on a guide row, the selected-art
square, the eye or lock column or a target circle moved the guide or
the art, swept visibility or locks, or transferred the appearance.
Each of these drags now starts only with the primary button, as the
Artboards panel's row drag does, and the grab cursor follows the
primary button too. A right-click still opens the row's menu.
The new test drags each of the six sources with the secondary and the
middle button, checks that no drag payload is held and that nothing in
the document or its undo steps changes, then drags the same path with
the primary button to show the drop target takes it.
docs/ui-parity.md and docs/target-app-parity.md listed the distance and
angle readouts while drawing as missing. With Smart Guides > Measurement
Labels on, the Line Segment tool labels the segment being drawn with its
distance, angle and X and Y offsets, and the Pen, Curvature and Smart Pen
tools label their rubber band the same way (#2983). The Measurement
labels row is marked done, the two dimension rows drop the gap, and the
Drawing aids entry describes the labels.
locate_within measured every boundary edge of the mesh at full accuracy
for each lookup, including points well inside the mesh. It now skips an
edge whose control points all lie farther than the distance it is
looking for: a millionth of a point for the outline, or the tolerance
for a point outside.
An Alt-click on an end of a selected open path makes that end the current
point without converting it, so the next click extends the path from it.
This applies to the other end too while one end is current; a plain click
there still closes the path. Alt-click on any other point still toggles it
between smooth and corner, and a double-click toggles any point, ends
included. An Alt-click that starts a new path places a corner point, as
later Alt-clicks do.
Changed behavior: an Alt-click on an end of a selected open path no longer
converts it; double-click converts it.

- file.new installs the color profiles a New Document profile's file
carries when they are missing, as document.open does, so the new
document's assigned profile draws and a save embeds it. A color
profile that can't be used is listed in the result's `warnings` and
shown in the status bar.
- The new document's links find their files through relative paths
from the profile's file (`links_from`), as
edit.newDocumentFromState sets it.
- When the read roots leave out the profiles folder, profileError's
reason no longer names the folder's path.
A geometry effect on a symbol instance's topmost fill now reshapes the
filled shapes of the symbol's art, and one on its topmost stroke reshapes
the stroked shapes, keeping their colors, strokes and other detail. Only
a visible topmost fill or stroke with an opacity above 0 counts. Clipping
paths, guides and opacity-mask art keep their shapes; a group's own fills
and strokes in the art take the effects; a nested instance passes them on
to its own art, except one whose symbol holds the outer symbol.
The canvas, Use Preview Bounds and the drawn bounds, SVG and PDF export
and Object > Expand Appearance use the same art. Expand Appearance is
enabled for such an instance and turns it into an editable group in one
undo step. Bounds measure the art with a dynamic symbol's overrides, as
the canvas draws it.
Existing documents with a geometry effect on a symbol instance's fill or
stroke draw differently: before, the effect drew nothing.
The Colour, swatches, gradients, patterns, mesh, recolor row of
docs/target-app-parity.md now lists the outline fix and its two tests.
Score and hours are unchanged.
