 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-11-05 | minor | Documents: a paragraph's base direction can be forced left to right or right to left (Text ▸ Text direction, `text.direction`, `node.set textDirection`, the Type settings control, the `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality`), as Add right-to-left text says (#1830); detection stays the default. Four new UI strings (English only; other catalogs fall back). |
 | 2026-10-30 | minor | Bosnian (`bs`, Bosanski) draft catalog: every UI string (1,906), command label (629) and menu wording (31), machine-drafted in Latin script with ijekavian forms and marked as a draft awaiting native review. Bosnian plurals: one for 1, 21, 31… (not 11), few for 2–4, 22–24… (not 12–14), other for the rest. Grade and hours unchanged (Bosnian is not one of the twelve key languages) |
 | 2026-10-29 | minor | German terminology corrections (M10): gradient stops, OpenType stylistic sets and the Home-screen preference; partial review, catalog remains a draft. Nine existing translations corrected; keys, placeholders, coverage, grade and estimates unchanged |
 | 2026-10-28 | minor | Arabic draft: 1,857 UI entries, 620 command labels and 31 menu wordings, with count-neutral plurals. AI-assisted, native review pending. Desktop uses the existing Arabic fallback and bidi; web requires an embedded Arabic face. No panel mirroring or parity-grade increase claimed |
