| Date | Change | Summary |
|---|---|---|
| 2026-10-24 | minor | Variables on a text style's fields from the style editor: the font and font style menus start with Apply variable (string variables), and the size, line height and letter spacing fields show a variable button on hover (number variables). A bound field shows its variable in place of the value; a click on it picks another variable and its detach button unbinds it (`style_picker_tests`). Left: the other effect and grid fields (commands only), library variables in the picker. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-10-23 | minor | Instance-swap properties in the component playground: the Inspect tab's Playground shows a dropdown for each, with the same menu as the Design panel's (the property's preferred components first, then every component in the file). The component picked changes the preview and the code only, never the file. Left: slots in the playground. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-10-20 | minor | A main component's copy within its file is an instance of it (#892): Duplicate (`edit.duplicate`) and Alt-drag on the canvas made a second main; they now place an instance where the copy went (same offset, the instance's default name, selected), as Copy then Paste already did. A variant duplicated in its set stays a new variant. |
| 2026-10-18 | minor | A bound colour variable's alpha applies once (#802): a `#RRGGBBAA` paint keeps its alpha in the paint opacity, and binding a variable with alpha left that opacity in place, so a 50% fill bound to a 50% variable drew at 25%. Binding (`variable.bind`, `node.set` `boundVariables`, `style.bind`) now restarts the paint's opacity at 100% and unbinding (also deleting the variable) moves the colour's alpha back into the opacity; `.fig` and REST imports take the variable's alpha back out of a bound paint's opacity, so `.fig` round trips no longer square it. Colour-picker edits of a colour variable or a plugin colour field, generated CSS strokes and the document colours list counted the paint opacity twice and now count it once (`bound_alpha_tests`). Numbers unchanged |
