Update it when a featur - **Image Trace small contours:** closed fits too small to form an editable subpath retain their positioned outline, including holes. Source-generated island, hole/winding and stepped-region regressions cover Corners and Noise; defaults, parity scores and estimates are unchanged. - **Image Trace, simpler contour walk:** `contour::trace_mask` works out each turn from the pixels during the walk, with no precomputed direction table and no assertion; identical loops to the previous walk on every 4 × 4 mask (see [quality notes](image-trace-quality.md#a-simpler-contour-walk)). - **Image Trace, measured:** `crates/trace/tests/quality` traces drawings made from known vector art with every preset and [`image-trace-quality.md`](image-trace-quality.md) records the numbers against the baseline. Black and White, Grayscale and Color place each edge by the blend of the pixels across it (to a fraction of a pixel on anti-aliased and blurred images; hard-edged images are read as staircases) and fit outlines as Flat Logo does. *Measured* on each preset's own inputs, all sizes and variants: Default's outlines went from 0.31 px off on average to 0.09 (largest 1.51 to 1.02), Black and White Logo's from 0.27 to 0.06 with 0.3 kinks per trace where it had 15, and the gaps between abutting paths from 64 px to 22. On clean curved shapes Black and White Logo is 0.02 px off (the open tracer measured beside it: 0.20). The palette is made of the picture's own colours (blends along edges take none of it, colours that noise made of one colour merge, a blend pixel goes to one of the two colours it lies between; #1504): 16 Colors on flat art, all variants, went from 70 paths to 4.2 and from 5.1 px off to 0.13, with no path left in a colour the art doesn't have (5.9 before). Photos are smoothed within their tones before they are quantised and stacked layers go by lightness (#1516): High Fidelity Photo went from 3,653 paths to 121 with its colour error down from 2.30 to 1.75, and a 16 megapixel photo-like image is traced in 3.5 s where 4 megapixels were refused. Since then, by the same harness: outlines are cut at their junctions and each shared piece is fitted once (#1535: gaps and overlaps between abutting paths 22 to 50 px of area down to under 2); layers are traced within the box of their pixels and a few at a time (#1546: a 16 megapixel photo 3.9 GB to 0.9 GB); black and white are read against the image's own black and the paper near each edge (#1563, for thin lines in blurred and scanned art); Ignore Color and the Auto Color and Outline presets (#1574); Snap Curves To Lines levels lines within 2.5 degrees of level or upright (#1593, the angle our choice); Create: Strokes puts centre lines in the middle of their ink and makes them as wide as it (#1595: Outline 0.295 to 0.052 px from the true centre line, 18.4 to 2.7 anchors a stroke); sharp corners whose pixel is mostly outside the shape stay corners (#1609: Default 69% to 76% kept). Three options, each off unless asked for as the legacy presets have them: Shapes (#1609: 57 to 62% of plain circles, ellipses, rectangles and regular polygons come out as live shapes, rounded rectangles rarely), Auto Grouping (#1618: paths grouped with what lies inside them, the same picture) and Gradients (#1627: linear gradients traced as one gradient-filled path; on gradient inputs 6 Colors' colour error 2.12 to 0.62 with 6.4 to 3.4 paths, none found in flat art). Snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46). Flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px). Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in aliased, blurred and scanned art (#1845: 57 to 62% of the plain shapes up to 98 to 100%, no false shape but one line 2 px wide). Stroked lines get square caps where their ink is cut square, and a wide end that turned towards a corner goes back on its line (#1846: Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88, 14 anchors to 10). Each of the 14 documented presets has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and, in all but High Fidelity Photo, Shapes (#1847), measured beside its preset: equal or better within 0.005 px and 1% of edge ΔE on every preset's own inputs (Default 0.091 to 0.083 px); Auto Grouping keeps traced order in its groups, which removed a light seam along the counters of letters. Gradients grows a gradient over the pixels noise and soft rims took off it (#1848: blurred and noisy linear gradients 3 to 11 paths beside the gradient down to 0.5 with 6 Colors, 24 to 56 down to 0.5 to 1.5 with High Fidelity Photo). Silhouettes is 0.52 px off because its threshold is 200 (0.11 px at 128). Still weak, by the same numbers: rounded rectangles and other line-and-arc outlines take 12 to 16 anchors (the fitter does not split lines from arcs), blurred and scanned polygons lose corners, hairlines under half a pixel are lost to the threshold, aliased art is about 0.25 px off, a scan's uneven paper splits into tones when more colours are asked for than the art has, stroke junctions stay at their skeleton pixels, a three-stop gradient in a small or scanned disc is not found, radial gradients stay bands (a draft, #1849, traces them; the documented option is for linear ones, so it waits for a decision), near-regular polygons a few dozen pixels across are made regular with Shapes (up to 0.5 px off), and aliased stroked lines are 0.8 px off at worst. -- **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos. Each pixel is read as a blend of the logo's colours (found automatically or named), the blend is interpolated smoothly and every outline is placed where two colours are equally present, so edges are accurate to a fraction of a pixel. Outlines are then cleaned: corners the blur rounded are put back, near-straight runs and near-circular arcs become exact lines and arcs, the rest is fitted with as few Béziers as the tolerance allows, touching colours overlap by a hair so no gap opens, and an outline that strays from the raw contour is fitted plainly instead. Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide. The built-in colour presets (6 Colors, 16 Colors, High Fidelity Photo, Low Fidelity Photo) had a mean edge error of 2.5 to 3.4 px and region overlap of 0.88 to 0.91; Flat Logo had 0.78 px and 0.966 (0.48 px and 0.975 from a crisp source), in about 0.1 s. Limits: flat-colour art only; needle-thin sharp tips are shortened by about 1.7 source pixels because the blur erases them; it works at no more than 1024 px on the long side (larger images are averaged down first); only one logo family has been scored against a vector original. +- **Image Trace Flat Logo mode:** a fourth mode beside Black and White, Grayscale and Color, for flat-colour logos.

Gradients and photos are refused with advice to use Color. Line art whose only solid area is white paper (strokes a pixel or two wide) takes its colours from the strokes' cores, with the lighter shades along a stroke's anti-aliased edge folded into its ink; a page whose ink (a channel at least 48 below white) covers under 1% of it traces to nothing, as blank paper does. *Measured* (a local experiment, not run in CI): a flat-colour logo's vector original was rendered down to a soft 199 × 100 px transparent PNG, traced, and the result compared with the original at 1600 px wide.

Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756). - **Paint and appearance (M3):** - **Swatches:** names follow the colour model and are unique; Swatch Options (process/spot, Global, Gray/RGB/HSB/CMYK/Web, live preview); editing a global or spot swatch recolours every linked fill, stroke and text run in one undo step; multi-select and delete with confirmation; New Swatch and New Color Group dialogs (a group from the selected artwork's colours); swatches in colour groups convert, separate and count like any other. The Swatches panel selects ranges and whole groups, has a find field, and drags swatches to reorder, regroup or paint art; Add Used Colors, Select All Unused, Merge, Ungroup and Sort by Kind; a CMYK document keeps applied colours in CMYK. Swatch libraries: nine generated colour libraries and five gradient libraries in a library panel, saved as `.vcswatches`, `.gpl`, swatch exchange (`.ase`) or CSS, and loaded from `.vcswatches`, `.gpl` and `.ase` files (`.ase` both ways: RGB, CMYK, Lab and Gray; global, spot and process; groups) and from color books (`.acb`, read only: the RGB, CMYK or Lab colors of a book such as a Pantone book a user owns, named with its prefix and suffix, spot unless it says process, #831); `swatch.library.copyToUser` copies a loaded library into the User Defined folder without replacing a file, and a file with the same extension and bytes as a User Defined library opens as that library. Tints of global and spot colours ("Name 40%") stay linked and separate as a percentage of their plate. Spot colours can be defined in Lab (Spot Colors options). A built-in [Registration] swatch prints on every plate. @@ -712,6 +712,7 @@ Moved from the ROADMAP's "Shipped so far" on 2026-10-10.
