|

| 2026-10-31 | minor | M12: as the help describes, holding Cmd/Ctrl while moving a connector's end places it on any part of an object instead of snapping to a side. It keeps that spot as a fraction of the object's box, so it follows the object when it moves or resizes, and without the key an end snaps as before. `board.connector {fromAt, toAt}` and `board.reattach {at}` take it; saved only when set.

| 2026-10-31 | minor | M12, #1710: a selected elbow or curved connector shows path handles. Dragging a run moves it and a first or last run gains an extra run to stay on its end; a curve's middle goes where it is dragged (`board.reshape`, one undo step). The shape travels with what the connector joins, is saved with the file, and goes back to routing itself when the style changes or an end moves to something else. |

The person hosting a session, or a file's owner, removes someone from it (right-click their avatar, `collab.removePerson`): they are disconnected and their address can't join that file again while it runs. The list is per computer; a server only a team reaches can also list the files shared from it now for everyone (`team_files`): Home ▸ Online shows that team list for the server in Preferences, a row joins its file, and its links (`figcraft://join?server=…&file=…&team=1`, or the browser build's) carry no secret and stop working with the share.

The Share popover offers Can edit / Can view under Local network before sharing starts (the edit code then never shows) and while sharing; `collab.share {via: "local", access: "view"}` does the same (its `link` and `url`, like its `code`, are the view-only way in), and `share` in `collab.peers` lists both codes and links.

With `team_files = "edit"` (or `comment`, `view`) everyone who reaches the server sees the files shared from it now (a link of theirs has a join code: Share ▸ Start sharing) and joins them by a team list link, `figcraft://join?server=…&file=…&team=1`, which carries no secret: the server hands out the file's team link while it stays shared (`ResolveTeam`, answered like a join code), and Stop sharing revokes it with the others, disconnecting whoever joined with it. Turning the list off or changing its access refuses the old team links at once. `collab.files {refresh}` asks the server in Preferences for its list (`Admin::Team`; not the public server FigCraft ships with), and Home ▸ Online shows it below your own files: a row joins its file, its menu copies the link for the app or, with the server's `web_url`, for the browser build (`<web_url>#join=…`). A browser build served beside its server names it with `<meta name="figcraft-server">`, the page's default for sharing, codes and the team list. No accounts: the list is for a server only your team reaches. Tests: `team_tests` (the server and apps over loopback), `code_tests` (links and the browser's driver), `online_tests` (the Online section), `query_tests` (the page's server).

The file opens in a tab, or an open tab comes to the front, on the main's page with the main selected and zoomed to: a nested instance goes to its own main, a variant to that variant.

| 2026-11-06 | patch | M8, #1906: under Wayland (seen on GNOME and KDE Plasma) a minimised FigCraft window still reports itself visible and the compositor stops asking it to draw, so every control or attached-MCP request waited for a frame and timed out after 60 s ("it was not applied"), though eframe kept running the app's logic. `control::background` now treats a window that drew no frame for `NOT_DRAWING_AFTER` (0.2 s) while a request waited for it as hidden: state-only requests are answered from the logic passes (0.54 s each, measured on GNOME Wayland; they took 13.7 s or timed out before), the wait starts again when the window draws, and screenshots and `ui.input` still wait for a frame.
