dotCooCoo 94e9839438 Opacity masks: linked masks follow group effects through type, plug-ins and perspective
Type and live objects in the art of a linked opacity mask are outlined
and evaluated before a group's or layer's geometry effects run over it,
so the mask moves and bends with the art it masks. Before, the effects
reached only the paths in a mask's art.

- With Scale Strokes & Effects on, a Transform effect scales the strokes
  of an image's or symbol instance's linked mask as it scales those of a
  path's mask.
- A mask's art takes Transform copies in the form it had before the
  first effect, as the art it masks does.
- A linked mask whose art is one image or symbol instance takes a
  Transform effect's move and copies with the art it masks. Under any
  other geometry effect, which images and symbol instances do not take,
  art whose masks hold one keeps its shape.
- A symbol instance in perspective projects the linked masks in its art
  with that art.
- A live-effect plug-in that paints its pieces leaves art with linked
  masks as it is, since a mask can't take the pieces.

Docs: the docs/target-app-parity.md line moves next to the Transparency
entry and lists the cases where existing documents draw differently.
