 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-11-02 | minor | Selection QoL: saved marquee modes, screen drag direction with a 3 px dead zone, and translated mode/E feedback (#5313); VectorCraft addition, scores and estimates unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-07 | minor | Indian-language hyphenation (#4947): eleven MIT-licensed pattern sets, with grapheme and shaping-cluster protection in both composers and existing paragraph limits. Assamese and Sanskrit are selectable; Sanskrit automatic patterns remain pending an allowlisted source. Scores and estimates unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-05 | minor | Effect dialogs: a colour swatch beside a hex colour field follows typed values, and a double-click opens the Color Picker over the dialog, whose OK fills the field (#5365); scores and estimates unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-05 | minor | Selection Tools add-on: Select Linked, Embedded, Missing and Modified select the images and placed documents with that link status (Object › Plug-ins › Selection Tools and the Links panel menu; Shift adds), and Select by Link Status… lists them by name, status and format to pick from, optionally zooming to them; what is hidden, locked, on a template layer or outside the isolated group is left out and the status bar says how many (#5526, a VectorCraft addition); scores and estimates unchanged (estimated). |

 | 2026-11-03 | minor | M7: Touch Type moves right-to-left characters along their line while keeping text editable; first-logical-character restriction retained. Estimates unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-30 | patch | M5: opaque solid-fill knockout paths avoid redundant erase/add layers in hard-edge frames and supersampled raster export; exact-pixel regression coverage retains analytical-AA rounding and translucent knockout behavior; scores and estimates unchanged |
 | 2026-11-03 | minor | M7: retain composition trimming in rotated character placement and rotation metadata; estimates unchanged. |
-| 2026-10-30 | minor | M4: G9: `.ai`/EPS editing data: a blend takes the transparency (opacity, blend mode, knockout) in its state block after its record, so its steps knock each other out as the page draws them; a user's file comes in 0.6% from its page instead of 1.3%. Scores and estimates unchanged. |
-| 2026-10-30 | minor | M4: File formats: `.ai`/EPS editing-data fidelity from an audit of a user's files: All Caps and Small Caps (#4708); placed files at their box's corner, kept where they draw closer to the page (#4664, #4723, #4742); pages cropped to the art, with `UserUnit` (#4658, #4727); gradient mesh corners with handle weights of 0 and the state written after a mesh (#4738, #4744, #4748); type on a path spaced as the file lays it out (#4743); synthetic regressions in `crates/eps`; scores and estimates unchanged. |
 | 2026-10-29 | minor | M6: Pathfinder: live compound shapes (#4522): the panel menu's Make, Release and Expand Compound Shape, Alt-clicking a Shape Mode, a selected member's Shape Mode and the Expand button act; scores unchanged |
 | 2026-10-26 | minor | M4/G9: EPS Save and Save As: an opened EPS saves back to its own path as EPS, keeping the chosen artboard's page frame and transparent margins and the complete editable VectorCraft document; Save's TIFF preview is capped at 1024 px (Export keeps 2048); partly read, preview-only or damaged-editing-data sources still need confirmation before they are overwritten; it does not write Illustrator's own editing data (#868), and G9's real-file import fidelity is unchanged; scores and estimates unchanged |
 | 2026-10-25 | minor | M10/G1: a selected Grid Repeat shows handles: the one below the grid adds or removes rows, the one right of it columns, the one past its bottom-right corner both, and the sliders between the first two columns and rows set the horizontal and vertical spacing; each drag is one undo step and Escape cancels it (#2691); estimates unchanged |
