 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-10-31 | patch | M4: Dash and Custom strokes have a Dash cap (None, Round, Square) in the advanced stroke settings and `node.set {dashCap}`, on both ends of every dash on the canvas and in PNG, PDF and SVG. Unset, dashes keep taking the end point caps, so older files look the same; the saved file writes it only when set. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-30 | minor | `.fig` import: a connector's label without a saved snapshot was skipped; now the connector imports as a frame holding its line and the label, as a connector with a saved snapshot does, the label centred on the line's middle by length (in a 200-wide box, laid out again with the fonts at hand), in the connector's fill paints or black. Its background isn't known without the snapshot and is left out. Not checked on real files. Test: `fig::tests::tail::a_labelled_connector_without_a_snapshot_keeps_its_label` |
 | 2026-10-30 | minor | Pasted content row: an image the clipboard doesn't carry keeps its name and shows a placeholder that reads as missing; the paste names those layers in its message and opens the import report with its notes (#1646). Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-30 | minor | Pasted content row: styles a pasted layer links by its library's guid are found by their library asset, so paint-style colours on pasted components and instances no longer import as black; a link to a style that isn't there keeps the stored colour, with a note (#1638). Numbers unchanged |
