The paragraph above the ROADMAP stage line moves into the revision history; docs/server-memory-retention.md
is folded into the compaction bullet of docs/server.md.
The PNG row of docs/file-format-parity.md listed the export settings as
"contents only" and "include bounding box (the layer's own box)". Since
#1307 the Export section labels the first option Ignore overlapping
layers and shows Include bounding box for text layers. The row now uses
those names, says that ignore overlapping layers is on by default, and
gives include bounding box for text layers, as the help page lists
them. The status line gets the new date and topic, and the revision
history gets a row; the percentages and hours are unchanged.

* Prototype player: no clicks reach the prototype behind the link notice
* Selection colors: scopes filter the variable menu; the command binds as variable.bind does
* Style picker: color variables scoped to every selected layer's fill or stroke
* Corner button: named Corner smoothing on polygons and stars
* docs/gaps.md: known gaps from the #1311 review
* cargo fmt
* Style picker: clippy
The export setting's advanced options name the contentsOnly option
"Ignore overlapping layers" and offer Include bounding box only when
every selected layer is a text layer. A setting that already has Include
bounding box on still shows the option, so it can be turned off, and the
export still applies it. The saved keys and the contentsOnly and
includeBoundingBox params of export.add, export.update and file.export
are unchanged.
Every catalog's "Contents only" row becomes an "Ignore overlapping
layers" row.
A slice exported every layer of its page that showed in its area, whatever
its Contents only setting said. With Contents only on (the default), a slice
inside a frame or group now exports only that frame or group and the layers
in it. With it off, or for a slice on the page or in a section, the slice
exports everything in its area as before. The Export section's preview of a
slice follows its first export setting in the same way.
The player opened a prototype's Open link at once, also from an After
delay trigger with no click. The help center's Prototype actions page
says that the viewer is told they are leaving before an external
website opens, with a checkbox that skips this page on the current
device.
An Open link to an http or https address now shows a notice with the
link, Open link, Cancel and "Don't show this again". Open link opens
it; Cancel, the close button or Escape drops it. While the notice
shows, the prototype takes no keys, and the presenter's C, Shift+C and
F keys do nothing. When Open link is pressed with the box ticked, the
desktop app saves the choice with its preferences; the web build keeps
it until the page reloads. proto.linkNotice {show} turns the notice on
or off. A mail link opens at once, as before, also while the notice
shows. A second link to a website that fires while the notice shows is
dropped.
text.onPath, and the Design panel's Put text on path button that runs
it, kept the text layer's own fill and effects when the text went onto
a path. The help center's Guide to text says that the vector object's
fill and effects are transferred to the text layer.
The text now takes the path layer's fills, with their fill style and
variable bindings, when one of them shows, and the path layer's effects,
with their effect style and bindings, when it has any. The text's own
bindings on those fields are dropped. When the path has no visible fill
or no effects, the text keeps its own.
Text went onto a path only with the Design panel's Put text on path
button (a text layer and a path selected together) or with text.onPath.
The Text on a path tool, in the Text flyout of the toolbar
(tool.textOnPath), shows the I-beam over a shape's or vector's path, and
a click there puts new, empty text on the path, starting at the click,
and starts typing. The text takes the path layer's place, transform,
box, constraints and effects, and its fills when one of them shows; the
path layer is removed. Ending the edit with nothing typed puts the path
back with no undo step.
The tool measures the distance on the page, so a layer scaled more one
way than the other, or shown smaller, is reached where it shows. Shapes
in front whose outline is away from the click do not hide a path behind
them, and paths that a mask or a clipping frame hides at the click are
skipped, as are locked layers and layers inside instances.
A double-click into a text layer that was just made no longer makes it
count as an existing layer, so leaving it empty records no undo step,
with this tool and with the Text tool.
The status line of docs/file-format-parity.md repeated eight topics,
from SVG/PDF export depth refusal (#208) to "last major". Each topic is
now listed once, and the boards entry closes its parenthesis.
Three parity rows still listed work that has landed on main. The
prototyping Triggers row listed delays on mouse enter, leave, down and
up as missing; they landed on 2026-10-13. Canvas & navigation's
remaining work in target-app-parity listed outline mode's Include
hidden layers and Include object bounds, which View > Outlines has.
The file-format Fonts row said missing fonts give warnings only; the
desktop app lists them in the Missing fonts window, and replacing them
is still missing.
Each file gets its status line and a revision-history row. The
percentages and hours are unchanged.
Polygon and star outlines did not use their corner smoothing: the value
was stored, imported and exported, but `shape_path` drew their corners
as plain circular arcs, and the Design panel showed the Corner
smoothing field only for rectangles and frames. Rounded polygon and
star corners now take smoothing the way rectangle corners do. Each
corner keeps a circular arc over the unsmoothed part of its turn and
eases into both edges, and it starts (1 + smoothing) times the plain
corner's length from the vertex. When a smoothed corner does not fit
in half of its shorter edge, smoothing is reduced first, then the
radius, as for rectangles. The Individual corners button opens the
panel for polygons and stars too, with the Corner smoothing row and no
field per corner.
The Design panel's font family and font style menus offered no way to
bind a string variable; these bindings could be made only by commands
such as variable.bind. Each menu now starts with Apply variable, which
opens the variable picker on string variables for the selected text
layers. A bound family or style shows its variable's chip in place of
the menu. A click on the chip picks another variable, and its detach
button unbinds it. While a text is being edited (a caret or selected
characters), the menus have no Apply variable item and show the plain
dropdown. A pick applies to the selected characters, or to the whole
layer when no characters are selected, as before.
The style editor bound variables to paint colors, shadow colors, blur
radii and grid sizes, but a text style's fields took variables only
through style.bind. The font and font style menus now start with Apply
variable, which opens the picker on string variables, and the size, line
height and letter spacing fields show a variable button on hover for
number variables, as the Design panel's number fields do. A bound field
shows its variable's chip in place of the value, as in the Design
panel. A click on the chip picks another variable, and its detach
button unbinds it.
In Dev Mode the menus, shortcuts, clipboard, canvas and layers panel
refuse design edits, but an image or SVG dropped on the canvas was
still imported. The Pages list still added, renamed, reordered,
duplicated and deleted pages. The Assets panel still placed instances,
swapped them on an Alt-drop, applied styles, changed Hide when
publishing, accepted library updates and added, removed or swapped
libraries.
All of these now go through dev_mode_refuses with the command they
would run, and show its note. A dropped document still opens as a file
of its own, and the drop overlay shows the note instead of "Drop to
import". A click in the Pages list still opens a page, and page rows
take no drags in Dev Mode.
A Selection colors row could take a color style but not a color
variable, and a row linked to a style or variable could not be
unlinked from there.
selection.bindColorVariable binds a color variable to every solid fill
and stroke slot a row stands for. It replaces a color style on that
list and any earlier binding of the slot. A text range with fills of
its own takes the variable's value in the layer's modes. Gradients and
slots outside the variable's scopes are refused.
selection.detachColor unlinks the style or variable of a row's slots
and keeps their colors.
In the Design panel, the Styles menu of an unlinked row lists the
document's color variables after its color styles, and a linked row
shows a Detach button in the Styles button's place.
* M6: Dev Mode measurements kept on the canvas, a read-only layers panel
Measurements placed between two layers, along a side or to the layer
around one (devMode.addMeasurement / removeMeasurement / measurements),
stored on the layer they start from (saved, synced, undoable; old files
open without them), drawn in Dev Mode as labelled redlines that follow
the layers and listed, placed and removed in the Inspect tab. In Dev Mode
the layers panel only selects and expands.
* M6: Dev Mode measurements: explicit imports, a measurement row of its own (Sonar)
