File > Import > EffectCraft Project (and .ecproj/.ecprojx given to File > Import)
merges the project into a folder named after the file, with every id shifted past
the open project's, in one undo step. Relative footage resolves next to the file;
the result lists comps, root comps, primaryComp and missing media.
offset_ids now shifts tracker Motion Targets and saturates instead of overflowing;
fix_next_id saturates too, so a damaged file can't overflow on open or import.
Menu entry translated in all four languages.

With no GPU compositor the report only said "GPU: none", though the host had recorded the
reason (`Session::accel_note`: the compositor's setup error, a retired GPU preview, a
headless start) and the window's wgpu adapter was known. Users with a capable GPU (#596, an
RTX 4070) couldn't tell why it wasn't used.
The report now carries `gpuNote` (the reason, when there is no compositor) and
`windowGraphics` (the adapter, backend, device type and driver the window draws with, which
the desktop app records when it sets up the GPU), and the text shows
"GPU: none (CPU compositing): <reason>" and "Window graphics: …"; the issue line names the
reason too.
Test: the compatibility report test sets a reason and an adapter and checks the JSON and text.

Cause: edit.copy handled text editing, selected keyframes, effects and shape
items, then fell back to copying the selected layers. Selecting a property
selects its keys, so an animated property copied, but an unanimated one (or
the Transform group, whose keys prop.select doesn't select) copied the whole
layer, and Paste added a duplicate layer instead of setting the property.
Fix: with properties (or the Transform group) selected, Edit > Copy copies, as
After Effects does, each animated property's keys (the selected ones, else all
of them, through keys.copy) and each unanimated property's value into a new
value clipboard keyed by match path. Edit > Paste sets those values on the
same properties of the selected layers (a key at the CTI where the target is
animated) and pastes the keys at the CTI, as one undo step (keys.paste now
honours `merge`). Keys alone still answer with their count, as before.
Test: copy_a_selected_property_pastes_onto_the_same_property (static
Position, then the Transform group with animated Opacity: values and keys
land on layer B, no layer is added, one undo step each).

A running script reached `prefs.set` through `app.run` and could turn on
Settings > Scripting & Expressions > Allow Scripts to Write Files and Access
Network (or turn off Warn User When Executing Files), which the File, Socket
and system.callSystem gates then read: the permission the user withheld was
the script's to take.
Commands a script issues now go through `Session::execute_for_script`, which
marks the session as running for a script for the command and everything it
runs (engine.batch, ScriptUI callbacks, scheduled tasks). While it is,
`prefs.set` refuses any change that would leave the Application Scripting
settings different (compared on the resulting settings, so dotted keys,
whole-page objects and batches are all covered), and a script's
`prefs.reset` keeps them as the user set them. Command scripts read from a
file (File > Scripts > Run Script File... with .json/.jsonl) count as
scripts too. The UI, CLI, control channel and MCP still change them.

Reload Footage (Cmd+Alt+L) updated an item's metadata but left the media
pool's decoded frames and the layer cache in place, so the old image kept
rendering until Edit > Purge. It also replaced the footage with a probe of
the merged document, so a Photoshop layer item lost its layer and its
Retain Layer Sizes bounds.
Reload now re-reads only what the file decides (size, a movie's duration,
streams and frame rate, codec, a data file's text), keeps the layer or
page and the interpretation, finds a Photoshop layer again by name, and
makes the media layer forget the file (FootageSource::forget, which also
drops the EXR aux-channel cache) and clears the layer cache.
Settings > Import > Reload Footage Changed on Disk (on by default): the
desktop app stamps footage files (size + modification time) on a worker
thread every two seconds and when the window comes back to the front, and
reloads what changed. Not an undo step and it doesn't modify the project;
a file still being written is retried on the next check.
footage.reloadChanged runs one check (CLI, MCP, agents).

The Ease Presets panel (#254) is modelled on a third-party panel, so,
as with third-party tools in After Effects, it isn't core any more: it
is `extensions/scriptui-panels/Ease Presets.jsx`, a ScriptUI panel
bundled as an optional extension (Window ▸ Ease Presets.jsx), written
only against the public scripting API. Clicking a preset eases every
pair of neighbouring selected keyframes in one undo step (per
dimension, along the motion path for spatial properties, the keys'
other sides as they play); the fields edit the working curve, which the
panel draws; From Keys, Save, Rename and Delete as before. The twelve
built-in curves are unchanged.
Scripting API fixes it needed (After Effects parity):
- `app.settings` lasts between runs (`script_settings.json` in the
settings folder; `script.settings.get` / `script.settings.save`).
- Per-key methods (`setTemporalEaseAtKey`, `setInterpolationTypeAtKey`,
`removeKey`, the continuous / auto-Bezier / roving setters) no longer
change the user's key selection (they selected the key they edited).
- `keyInTemporalEase` / `keyOutTemporalEase` report linear and
auto-Bezier sides as they play, `keyIn/OutSpatialTangent` the
tangents the motion path plays.
- `selectedProperties` includes the properties of selected keyframes.
- `isInterpolationTypeValid` is false for Linear / Bezier on values that
only hold.
Removed from core: Window ▸ Ease Presets, the `keys.easePreset.*`
commands, `engine::ease_presets` and the `ease_presets.json` store,
`keyframe::EaseCurve` (nothing else used it) and the egui panel. User
presets saved by the v0.6.0 panel move into the panel's app.settings
section the first time settings load (the old file is left as is).
Docs: plugins.md (bundled extensions), parity.md, gaps.md G8, agents.md.
Test: app_settings_last_between_runs,
per_key_methods_keep_the_key_selection_and_report_eases_as_they_play,

Effects: effect points on shape layers start at the layer centre (#227)
# Conflicts:
# crates/ui-egui/src/panels/puppet_tool.rs
# crates/ui-egui/src/panels/viewer.rs
Image sequences were found only by the desktop media prober: one picked
numbered still brought its whole run, with no way to import just that
frame, picking every frame made one sequence item per frame, the browser
couldn't make sequences at all, and a gap in the numbering closed up
silently.
The engine now groups numbered stills itself (engine/src/sequence.rs):
one picked file brings its run from its folder, several picked files of
one run import as that range, a picked or dropped folder imports its
files with each run as a sequence, and Force Alphabetical Order takes
every image of that type in the folder by name. `file.import` takes
`sequence` (default on), `alphabetical` and `frameRate`; Replace Footage,
Reload, proxies and render outputs probe the same way. The media layer
probes one file; the browser lists its file table for the run and
registers every frame with its media pool.
File > Import > File... asks, like After Effects' "PNG Sequence"
checkbox, whether picked numbered stills import as a sequence, with
Force Alphabetical Order and the frame rate. Sequences are named
`shot_[0001-0250].png`.
Interpret Footage gains Missing Frames (Show Placeholder, colour bars as
in After Effects, the new default; Hold Previous Frame; Skip) and Start
Frame (the frame number at the footage's first frame: trims or pads the
head). Saved projects keep Skip, so their sequences play as before.
Form notes keep a readable width and the form fits its rows, so OK stays
in view. docs/footage.md explains importing footage and sequences.
Test: tests_sequence (engine: run, picked range, every frame, Sequence
off, folder, alphabetical, Interpret Footage Missing Frames / Start
Frame, Replace Footage and Reload), project sequence unit tests,
sequence_gaps_show_placeholders_hold_or_close_up (media),

dropped_frames_import_as_one_sequence_with_sequence_interpretation (UI).

Shape and text layers have comp-sized effect bounds centred on their
origin, but effects measured positions from the origin: a point at its
default "layer centre" sat at the comp's bottom-right corner, so Twirl
on a centred shape changed nothing and Bulge only its bottom-right
quarter. As in After Effects, effects now work in effect space,
measured from the top-left of the layer's effect bounds.
The renderer moves the layer buffer into effect space for the whole
stack (Buf::rebase, CPU and GPU alike) and hands effects everything
else in it: masks, other layers' pixels for layer parameters (each in
its own effect space, so Set Matte and displacement maps see a whole
shape layer), the layer's own frames (layer_input, also what Puppet,
Roto Brush and the Layer panel read) and the comp camera
(CompScene::rebased). Layer bounds are now right for every effect, so
pin_rect and EffectEnv::bounds_origin go and layer_rect serves edge
pinning too. Adjustment layers still run on the comp below as it is.
effect_bounds / EvalCtx::effect_to_comp replace the repeated "comp size
when there is no source" code; the viewer's effect point handles and
eyedroppers, Puppet pins, the Layer panel (paint, Roto Brush) and the
tracker's Corner Pin output use them.
Project schema 2: opening a schema 1 project moves positions held by
effects on shape and text layers by half the comp size, so set points
keep their place (point parameters with keyframes, Paint paths and
clone positions, Puppet seeds and pins, Liquify and Roto Brush
strokes). Points still at their default become the layer centre;
expression controls, adjustment layers and expressions are left as
they are (docs/architecture.md). The disk cache's render version is
bumped.
Tests: default_effect_points_sit_at_the_centre_of_a_shape_layer and
layer_parameters_see_a_whole_shape_layer (render, both fail before),
effect_points_on_a_shape_layer (GPU vs CPU),

get_project / render.backend reported "gpuAcceleration": true with
"active": "cpu" and no reason, which read as a broken GPU. The
headless MCP server only attaches the GPU compositor when started with
--gpu, which docs/agents.md didn't mention, and a failed --gpu said
only "no usable GPU adapter" (the adapter's error went to a log no
one sees). The session now keeps the host's reason there is no GPU
compositor (accel_note): the CLI's "headless: renders on the CPU
unless started with --gpu", or the desktop app's compositor setup or
retirement error. The status reports it as `why` whenever it renders
on the CPU (or that the project's renderer is Software Only). --gpu
failures include the adapter's error (Gpu::try_headless).
docs/agents.md documents `mcp --gpu`.

keys.easePreset.apply {preset | curve} eases every pair of neighbouring
selected keyframes of each selected property in one undo step: the out
side of the earlier key and the in side of the later one. A curve is
given as {outInfluence, outSpeed, inInfluence, inSpeed} or as handles
[x1, y1, x2, y2]. keys.easePreset.capture reads the curve between the
first selected pair; keys.easePreset.save {name, curve?} keeps it (or a
given curve), and list, rename and delete manage the user presets.
Twelve built-in curves are our own numbers (Linear, Smooth, Ease In-Out
Soft / plain / Strong, Accelerate and Decelerate with Strong variants,
Expo In-Out / Accelerate / Decelerate) and can't be renamed, deleted or
overwritten. User presets live in the config store (ease_presets.json),
loaded with the other settings. A file that isn't JSON gives no user
presets, and entries that don't parse, have no usable name or repeat a
name are skipped and logged. A failed write leaves the presets as they
were.

Dragging a layer already snapped its feature nearest the pointer to
other layers' edges, corners, centres, anchor points and path points
and to the comp's edges and centre, and Cmd/Ctrl held during the drag
already turned snapping on or off against the checkbox. What was
missing were After Effects' Snapping options beside the Tools bar's
checkbox. The new menu turns Snap Edges Extended off (a layer's edges
then snap only along the layer, not across the comp) and each feature
family (edges, corners, centres, anchor points, mask and shape path
points) on or off, for the dragged layer's snap features and for the
targets alike. Agents set them with view.snappingOptions.
Layers whose eye is off (or that a solo hides) are no longer snap
targets, mask and shape path points of the dragged layer snap too, and
while snapping is on the feature that snaps is boxed during the drag.

The Tools bar had Fill and Stroke swatches and a Stroke Width, kept in
the interface only, so agents couldn't set them and new shapes could
only be a solid fill with a solid stroke. As in After Effects:
- With a shape layer selected and a shape tool or the Pen active, Tool
Creates Shape / Tool Creates Mask choose whether drawing adds shapes
to the layer or masks on it (Fill and Stroke hide while drawing
masks).
- Clicking the word "Fill" or "Stroke" opens Fill Options / Stroke
Options: None, Solid Color, Linear Gradient or Radial Gradient, the
blend mode and the opacity. The swatches show the kind; Alt-click
steps through the kinds.
- New shapes and Pen paths are painted with them: a Gradient Fill or
Gradient Stroke across the shape for the gradient kinds.
The options are engine state (EditorState.shape_tool) set with the new
shape.toolOptions command; shape.newShape and shape.newPath use them
unless given paint parameters (which now include fillType, fillBlend,
fillOpacity and their stroke twins; layer.newShape takes them too). A
Pen path without paint parameters now takes the Tools bar's stroke
(none by default) instead of a fixed 2 px white one. layer.addMask also
draws rounded rectangle, polygon and star masks, so every shape tool
makes a mask on a selected footage or solid layer (rounded rectangles,
polygons and stars made a new shape layer).
Test: shape_tool_options_paint_new_shapes,
masks_of_every_shape_tool_kind,
tool_creates_mask_draws_a_mask_on_the_selected_shape_layer,

Edit > Copy with a shape group (or a path, fill, stroke or path
operation) selected in a shape layer's Contents copied the whole layer,
and Paste made a new layer. As in After Effects, Copy now copies the
selected items, Paste puts them into each selected shape layer's
Contents (above its selected item, in that item's group, else on top,
with names kept unique there: "Rectangle 2"), and Cut removes them, so
Cut + Paste moves them. Pasting with no shape layer selected is an
error rather than a new layer. Copying anything else clears the shape
item clipboard, as it does the other clipboards.

#154: renderQueue.add (and render.addOutputModule) applied `format`, then
dropped it before applying the output path, so `--format hevc --out
x.mp4` saw the .mp4 extension and switched the module back to H.264
(and ProRes / VP9 for .mov / .webm). An explicit format now wins and a
mismatched extension follows it (x.webm → x.mp4 for AV1), as choosing a
format in the Output Module renames Output To; an extension that agrees
with the format keeps the name as given. The format error lists hevc and
av1 everywhere (one FORMATS string).
#155: a `comp` that names no composition (name or id) failed with "no
active composition". comp_id now reports it as `no composition "Nope"`
(EngineError::NoSuchComp), and comp_for_queue passes that on instead of
collapsing it.
Tests: an_explicit_format_wins_over_the_output_extension and
an_unknown_comp_is_named_in_the_error (engine). Checked with the CLI:
the files are hevc/hvc1 and av1/av01 and decode cleanly with ffmpeg.

A Windows user reported that the Properties panel's font menu offered only the bundled Inter,
JetBrains Mono and Noto Serif. The system font folders were scanned only when a project asked for
a family the bundled fonts lack, so until then every font menu (Properties, Character, Essential
Graphics) and `file.findMissing {what: fonts}` saw the bundled families alone, on every
platform. Listing the families now scans the system fonts first, and the desktop app starts that
scan on a background thread at launch so the menus are complete when first opened.
The style menus in the Properties and Character panels list the chosen family's own styles
instead of a fixed Regular / Medium / SemiBold / Bold / Italic. Both menus build their lists only
while open.
New query for agents: `text.fonts {query?, rescan?}` (MCP tool `list_fonts`) lists every family
with its styles, origin (bundled / system / user) and own-language name; `rescan` picks up fonts
installed since launch.
Tests: a fresh-process test that the family list includes every family in the platform's font
folders without a prior scan (failed before), and `text.fonts` filtering, rescan and per-family
styles, and the `list_fonts` MCP tool.

- effectcraft-segment: a FaceModel interface (find a face in a region, follow it; a Topology
maps the model's points to the tracker's landmarks and outline), a TensorFlow Lite reader and
interpreter (float ops, float16 weights folded; matches ai-edge-litert to ~1e-6), and
MediaPipe Face Landmarker (Google, Apache-2.0: BlazeFace + Face Mesh V2, 3.8 MB, pinned
SHA-256). The registry gains a task and authors per model; installed weights get a NOTICE.
- effectcraft-track: FaceTracker::new_with uses the model, falls back to the classical fitter
when it finds no face; chin and jaw come from the outline either way so measurements agree.
- Engine: roto_models becomes models (both tasks); face.models / face.model.* commands,

a registry of open-licensed models (licence must be MIT/Apache/BSD/…; URL, size, SHA-256),
a PyTorch checkpoint reader (zip + pickle subset), dependency-free SHA-256, and MobileSAM
(TinyViT-5M + SAM prompt encoder / two-way transformer / mask decoder) on rayon and ndarray's
safe GEMM. Loads the official mobile_sam.pt as published; checked against candle
(embedding 0.3% RMS, 99.9% equal mask pixels); ~0.7 s/frame encoder at 32 threads, cached
per frame, ~0.1 s decoder.
- track::roto: segment_with / propagate_with prompt a model with the strokes or the flow-warped
matte (box, core points, mask); its probability is a strong, unblurred prior for the same
graph cut (strokes stay hard constraints); a failing model or one disagreeing with the flow
(IoU < 0.5) is ignored. Prior gets a weight.
- effects::roto: Version 2.0 / 3.0 use the model chosen in Settings (set_model / model_for);
the model id is part of the chain seed.
- engine: roto_models (roto.models, roto.model.select / install / download / remove), weights in
the models folder (host::config_dir()/models, shared by the app, CLI and MCP), background
loading, downloads through the system curl, verified; Settings ▸ Roto Brush page (prefs
roto.model). host::config_dir moved from the desktop app.

- Collapsed precomps: the renderer records the precomp layers a nested comp is drawn through;
motion-blur sub-samples re-evaluate their transforms (when their motion blur is on) and map
times down through each one, so the precomp layer's own motion blurs its nested layers. The
containing (outermost) comp's shutter applies to collapsed layers. The GPU compositor gets
this through Renderer::placement.
- Shape and text layers whose content changes within the shutter (compared by its cache key)
draw their source at Samples Per Frame times and average them; the cache key covers every
sub-sample's content.
- Tests: tests_motion_blur_depth (collapsed vs flat, the containing shutter, shape content vs
the same move by Position); each fails without the change.
- Docs: roadmap, parity.

- A drag (keys.move steps sharing a merge key) applies its total offset to the keys as they
were before it (`Session::key_move`, `prop::shift_keys`): dragging over another key of the
property no longer deletes it; only the drop position replaces a key, as in After Effects.
- Keys of time-stretched layers move with the pointer: offsets are applied in comp time and
snapped to comp frames (drags and Alt+Arrow nudges; they moved by the layer-time distance).
- Shift+click toggles a key in or out of the selection (`keys.select {toggle}`); Ctrl+click
switches Linear ↔ Auto Bezier and Ctrl+Alt+click toggles Hold.
- Keys of locked layers can't be selected (clicks, marquee, Select All Keyframes), so nothing
edits them.
- Toggle Hold off returns an eased key to Bezier (it always restored Linear).
- Shift-dragging a key snaps to everything the current time snaps to — other keys, layer in /
out points, layer and comp markers, the work area — and a tooltip shows the key's time and how
many frames it moved.

Every 10 seconds the UI thread re-read the system's memory for the cache budgets, and on
Windows that starts PowerShell (`Get-CimInstance Win32_OperatingSystem`) and waits for it:
about a second, sometimes two, during which the whole app froze. The reading now runs on a
background thread (`sysinfo::MemoryWatch`); `Session::memory_tick` takes the last reading and
starts the next one, never waiting. Console programs started for it no longer open a console
window (`CREATE_NO_WINDOW`).

The web app reopens the last visit's project and, when it had unsaved changes, marked it
modified with `bump()`. Since M3.9 the modified mark follows the saved snapshot, and a bump on
the very project just opened counts as "back at the saved state", so restored changes looked
saved (no `*`, no unsaved-changes prompt). `Session::mark_unsaved` forgets the saved snapshot
instead: the project stays modified until saved, whatever is undone. Regression test included.

Removes the engine's production expect() calls: background-job polling (camera, mask, roto,
point and warp tracking, render queue) uses let-else / if-let instead of take().expect("job"),
command helpers bind what they checked instead of re-reading it with expect, the menu bar falls
back to an empty tree (logged) instead of expect()ing that a constant parses, and
autotrace/text animator group lookups no longer expect a just-inserted group. perf.rs, the
benchmark harness behind `effectcraft-cli bench --ops`, opts out with a module-level allow.
Test-only unreachable!() calls become panic!() (clippy.toml allows panics in tests). Denies the
panic lints in the crate.

Session::execute runs every command (UI, CLI, control channel, MCP, scripts; file import,
export and save are commands too) through guard::guarded, which catch_unwinds a panic that
escapes the command and returns EngineError::Other("command `x` failed with an internal error
(...); it was stopped and your project is still open"). Edits work on a copy of the project, so
a command that panics mid-edit leaves the project untouched. The desktop app also installs a
panic hook that logs every panic through the app logger (then runs the default hook).

- Quit and the window's close button, File ▸ New Project, Open Project, Open Recent, Close
Project, the demo project and a Home template show Save / Don't Save / Cancel when the
project has unsaved changes (Save asks for a path when untitled; cancelling that keeps the
project open). File ▸ Revert asks to discard. Before, all of them dropped unsaved work
without asking.
- The window title shows the project's path and `*` while it is modified.
- The modified mark follows undo: the session keeps the snapshot it last opened or saved
(`Session::saved_project`), so undoing, jumping in the History panel or rolling back a batch
to the saved state clears it.
- An edit that changes nothing (a value set to what it already is) records no undo step and
doesn't mark the project modified (`Project::same_content`, comparing untouched comps by
pointer).
- Agents' `engine.execute` / MCP calls are never asked; `ui.menu.invoke` shows the prompt like a
click (automation ids `dialog.unsaved.save` / `dontSave` / `revert` / `cancel`), and the
control channel's `app.quit {force: true}` skips it.
- Docs: architecture, agents, control protocol, parity.

- GPU in browser job workers: each job worker opens its own WebGPU device
(deferred readbacks); the Render Queue export and the analyses' frame loops
are futures (render::passes, offload::run_request_async) whose frames
render in passes, awaiting the device between them. GPU particles and
Advanced 3D read back under keys too. workers.jobs reports passes and
readbacks; the smoke test measures them.
- Layer buffers in the browser's OPFS disk cache: frame workers back their
layer caches with a PrefetchStore; the page plans what to fetch before a
request from recent misses (LayerPrefetch over the shared DiskIndex).
- Templates embed footage (default on, size-capped with a warning) and
creating from a template extracts it next to the new project / into
browser storage.
- ICC LUT profiles (lut8/lut16/lutAtoB/lutBtoA, from the public ICC spec) in
Simulate Output > My Custom RGB, baked into a 3D LUT for the viewer.

- GPU in the browser: each frame worker opens its own WebGPU device (Gpu::request_deferred) and
renders the GPU compositor and GPU effects with deferred readbacks (effectcraft-gpu deferred):
readbacks keyed by content start with map_async and miss, the pass returns placeholders, the
layer cache's gate drops inserts, and FrameServer::resume renders again once the device
delivered. Backend Auto times whole frames per comp in the workers. Frames with effects go to
GPU workers instead of the page. CPU fallback without WebGPU in workers (?nogpuworkers).
- Fix: a WGSL constant (3.40282347e38) that Chrome rejects invalidated every GPU kernel in Chrome
(the page's compositor too); a test checks every float literal fits f32.
- Disk cache in the Origin Private File System: workers write sealed frame entries with sync
access handles (temp file + move), the page keeps the DiskIndex (LRU under the settings' limit,
at most half the quota) and reads hits instead of rendering; survives reloads; blue cache bar.
- Storage manager: Settings ▸ Disk ▸ Browser Storage (usage/quota, persistent storage, Clear
buttons, automation ids) and storage.info / storage.persist / storage.clear (StorageHost).
- Docs: web.md (GPU workers, deferred passes, disk cache, storage manager, threading design:
one engine instance per worker), architecture, preferences, parity (WEB-1), roadmap.
- Tests: deferred passes vs CPU on a real device, placeholder gating, frame server passes and
Auto, GPU worker routing + disk cache across a reload, storage commands and widgets, store
usage by kind; smoke test: GPU effect frames in workers with pixel parity, disk hits after a
reload, storage manager.

Fill's ADBE Fill-0002 is Color (documented numbering); essential.* controls by name with
a listing error; an explicit comp param satisfies a command's active-comp enablement.

- footage.check: background footage check after File > Open (Progress panel), not an undo step
- timeline: track-matte / parent menus built only while open (was O(n^2) per frame);
expression-row lookup per layer; panels hold Arc<Comp> snapshots instead of deep clones
- Project panel: virtualised vertical scrolling, selection reveal, thumbnails rendered off
the UI thread
- effectcraft-cli bench --ops (engine::perf + ui-egui::bench)

Viewer frames render in long-lived Web Workers holding a project replica
(engine::remote: structural JSON diff/patch, Mirror, FrameServer); the
frame cache hands jobs to a RemoteFrames renderer (UI-thread fallback).
Roto Brush propagation runs in a job worker and streams segmentations
back (FrameSeg binary form), relayed to frame workers. Control-channel
wait:true commands whose job is offloaded reply when it ends. The Media
Browser browses a pluggable Browser: the file system on the desktop;
browser storage and File System Access folders on the web.
