On a machine busy with other builds, five tests on main failed now and
then and passed when run alone. The canvas test for dragging an object
with raster effects gave the render worker 10 s for its frame, which
took 0.10 s alone and 5.8 to 9.4 s with four ui-egui test runs at
once. The three tests_sysclip_probe tests gave the clipboard probe's
thread 2 or 3 s. The control server's persistent-requests test sent
each request with writeln!, which sends the JSON to the socket in many
small writes, and a pause of more than the test's 120 ms line deadline
between two of them closed the connection.
The canvas test now waits up to 60 s for the worker, as another test in
canvas.rs does. The probe tests wait up to 60 s too. The control server
test sends each request line in one write and keeps its 120 ms line
deadline. Only test code changes.
Save for Office Documents, the pictures that css.export rasterizes and
the PNG and PDF that Copy offers other apps were encoded with
fileio::encode, which drops the encoder's warnings. When the art held
an image that the renderer could not decode, the PNGs lacked it; type
in a font that is not installed came out in the fallback font in the
Office PNG and Copy's PNG and PDF. No reply or status message said so.
The app also dropped the warnings that document.exportSelection
returns.
document.exportForOffice, clipboard.exportPng and clipboard.exportPdf
now return `warnings`, and css.export adds the notes of its pictures to
its `warnings`, each once. Save for Office Documents and
document.exportSelection show the first note in the status bar in Save
As's message, and the CSS Properties panel's Export Selected CSS… and
Export All… show it in Export As's message. After Copy or Cut, once
the PNG and PDF are on the system clipboard, the status bar shows their
first note. The files are written as before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Clipboard, CSS Properties), docs/control-protocol.md.
Export for Screens wrote each file with fileio::encode, which drops the
encoder's warnings, and its replies had no `warnings` key. When the art
held an image that the renderer could not decode, or type in a font
that is not installed, the files lacked the image or used the fallback
font, and neither the reply nor the status bar said so. document.export
returns the same notes in `warnings`, and Export As shows the first in
the status bar.
document.exportForScreens and assets.export now collect the warnings of
every file they export, each once, and every reply carries them in
`warnings`. The export still writes or returns every file. When there
are warnings, the Export for Screens dialog and the Asset Export panel
show the first in the status bar as Save As shows a save's notes.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Export for Screens), docs/control-protocol.md.
When zoomed in, an object with a texture, a blur or a shadow was slow
to drag. Filtered content whose on-screen area passes the 8.4 million
pixel raster budget keeps no raster, and a shadow or glow larger than
4 million pixels keeps none either, so every frame of the drag ran the
effects again over up to 8.4 million pixels. A drag that scales or
rotates an object runs them again at any zoom.
The canvas now renders a tool's drag with RenderOptions::dragging. In
such a frame the renderer draws filtered content within 1,000,000
pixels, at a lower resolution where it would need more, unless it can
draw the content from an earlier frame's raster. On the multithreaded
pipeline it does the same for drop shadows, outer glows and inner
glows. No raster made that way is kept. They count as moved rasters,
so a raster made over them is made again after the drag, and the
desktop canvas renders the frame after the drag on the render worker.
That frame renders them as a still frame does. A dialog's preview,
exports and printing render as before.
zoomed_drag_perf times a drag's frames at 100% to 6400% with and
without dragging.

With the Artboard tool in use, Ctrl/Cmd+A after a click on a row of the
Artboards panel selected all the art. The panel now takes the keyboard
when one of its rows is clicked, as the Layers panel does for Delete,
and gives it up when the pointer is pressed outside its list or the
panel is not drawn.
While it has the keyboard and the Artboard tool is in use, Select All's
keys, and Select All in the macOS menu bar, select every artboard: the
active artboard stays active and the art's selection does not change.
Otherwise Select All still selects the art.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
The History panel menu held only a disabled History Options… item. The
reference app's History panel menu has Step Backward and Step Forward,
which undo and redo a change, and Set History Limit, which sets the
number of History States.
The panel menu now has Step Backward and Step Forward. They run
edit.undo and edit.redo, and each is disabled when there is no step to
undo or redo, as Edit › Undo and Edit › Redo are. Set History Limit…
opens Preferences at Performance, where History States is set.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
The task bar offers more next steps for each kind of selection:
- an open path: Join (closes it) and Edit Path (the Direct Selection
tool); a closed path: Edit Path;
- a compound path: Edit Path and Release Compound Path;
- a clipping group: Edit Clipping Path and Release Clipping Mask
instead of Ungroup and Isolate;
- an image selected with vector art: Make Clipping Mask instead of Unite;
- point or area type: Convert To Area Type / Convert To Point Type
beside Create Outlines.
Buttons may now carry command parameters. "Edit Path" is translated in
every catalog; the other labels reuse the menu's. cargo xtask ci passes
all 9 steps.

Add opaque RGB light color and up to ten independently adjustable lights to
Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate. Keep light selection, Add/Delete,
selected-light gizmos and preview transactions on the existing command path.
Preserve legacy white-light Inflate polygons, paint composition and seam joins,
including the 0.05 seam minimum. Use shared smooth normals for colored Inflate,
and batch solid-fill RGB channel paths behind one surface clip. Keep source
paths editable and SVG/PDF output vector artwork.
Rebase onto main f7de3d6a, retaining both sides of progress docs and all 22
catalogs. Shade freeform points once through the shared paint mapper. Document
release measurements and a reproducible CLI fixture, including the remaining
source-gradient cost and the one-light timing tradeoff.
Validation: full cargo xtask ci passed all 10 steps; 7,978 tests passed, zero
failed and 11 ignored. Four legacy white-light PNGs match unchanged main byte
for byte. Three paired release bench/perf repetitions completed without busy
warnings; all six standard perf runs passed every budget. Two-light solid
Inflate improved from 136.2 to 96.8 ms/frame at 1200x1200, default eight threads.
Artboard Options showed Name, Width and Height only: the generic form
hides x and y, which in the shape dialogs are the click position. The
artboard's position could be dragged but not typed.
The dialog now draws its own rows after the form's, in the same grid:
the reference point locator the Transform panel, the Control bar and
Properties share, then X and Y. They show where the reference point
lies, counted from the ruler origin (#1212), as the Transform panel and
the Control bar show an artboard's position. A typed X or Y moves the
artboard so that its reference point lands there, and a new Width or
Height keeps the reference point in place. The fields still hold the
top-left corner in document points, so OK runs artboard.setProps as
before, in one undo step. The shape dialogs keep their x and y hidden.
form::grid_then lets a dialog add rows to the generic grid.
The Paragraph panel menu's Roman Hanging Punctuation was a disabled stub.
It is now a per-paragraph attribute: in a left-to-right paragraph of point
or area type with it on, the punctuation Optical Margin Alignment hangs
(quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas wholly; asterisks,
tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons by half) hangs
outside the margin when it starts or ends a line, on the same sides
(left-aligned lines at their left, right-aligned at their right, centered
and justified at both); letters don't hang. With Optical Margin Alignment
on as well, letters hang too. East Asian punctuation keeps hanging only
through burasagari. The layout shares Optical Margin Alignment's hanging
code, given the share of each glyph that hangs.
text.setFormat takes romanHangingPunctuation; it is off by default, saved
only when on, carried by paragraph styles (New and Redefine capture it)
and turned off by Reset Panel. The panel menu item is a checkbox enabled
with type selected.

With anchor points selected with Direct Selection, the Contextual Task
Bar's anchor items were Remove Anchor Points and Cut Path. The
reference app's bar also offers to connect the selected end points and
to convert the selected anchors to corner or smooth.
The bar now offers Remove Anchor Points, Connect, Cut Path, Corner and
Smooth. Connect runs Join (path.join), and Corner and Smooth run
path.convertAnchors with `to` set to corner or smooth. These are the
commands of the Control bar's anchor buttons. "Connect" has a row in
every catalog; "Corner" and "Smooth" use the existing rows.
The reference app's Smooth item, which adjusts a path's curvature, is not
offered, because VectorCraft has no Object > Path > Smooth. Simplify,
which the reference app's bar also offers here, is still offered only
while no anchors are selected.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
VectorCraft listed a variable font's named instances as styles, but
type could not be set between or past them. The reference app's
Character panel has a Variable Font control that adjusts a variable
font's axes, such as Weight, Width and Slant.
Type now keeps Variable Font settings by axis tag
(CharStyle::font_axes, saved as fontAxes only when set). text.setFormat
and text.setRangeStyle take fontAxes: each value is clamped to its
axis's range, a tag the font has no axis for is left out, and null
goes back to the style's own setting. Another font or style clears
them, including one from a character style that does not set them. A
character style captured from type sets them, with {} for none.
text.fontList {family, style} lists a font's axes.
Layout, outlines, the substituted-glyph highlight and PDF export use
the font instanced at the settings, and neighboring runs at different
settings are shaped apart, as runs in different fonts are. SVG export
writes them as font-variation-settings, the wght setting as the weight
and the wdth setting as font-stretch, and embeds the font instanced
there; SVG import reads font-variation-settings back. Legacy .ai export
warns that the settings are left out.
The Character panel shows a Variable Font button for a variable font.
It opens a slider and a field for each axis the font does not hide,
labeled with the font's name for the axis, and screen readers get each
slider under that name. A drag is one undo step. Reset Panel leaves
the settings, as it leaves the font and style.
Missing Glyph Protection now keeps the settings and the font version
on the characters that keep their font; before, it kept only the
family and style. A character style applied or redefined with another
font now clears the old font's version, as text.setStyle does, unless
the style sets one. SVG export with embedded fonts warns when faces of
one weight, style and width share characters, which browsers then draw
in one of the faces.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/type-parity.md.
The public documentation says Image Trace warns about images larger
than 1500 pixels on a side but traces them, only more slowly. VectorCraft
traced them silently, and refused any trace of more than 2,000,000
anchors, which a 4000 x 3000 photo at High Fidelity Photo nearly reaches
(1.9 million on a code-drawn photo) and a noisier one passes.
- imageTrace.make and makeAndExpand return `warnings`: one for an image
over 1500 px on a side (traced, but more slowly; a lower-fidelity
preset or a smaller copy is quicker), one for an image over 64 MP
that was traced from a scaled-down copy. The app shows the first in
the status bar.
- MAX_TRACE_ANCHORS is 8,000,000 natively (2,000,000 on wasm, where a
page has at most 4 GB). Measured through imageTrace.make on
code-drawn photos: about 90 bytes an anchor kept in the document;
7.9 million anchors kept 685 MB with an 876 MB peak (4000 x 3000,
Full Tone at Colors 100, Paths 100, Noise 1, 37 s).
- The refusal keeps its translated advice: raise Noise, lower Paths or
Colors, or pick a lower-fidelity preset.
Tests: a_large_image_traces_with_a_warning (1600 x 40 and 1500 x 8
code-drawn images, make and make-and-expand),
trace_warnings_name_a_large_or_scaled_down_image, a compile-time check
of the limit's range, and a UI test that the status bar shows the note.

Each swatch or graphic style library now opens in a panel of its own,
`library:<kind>:<library id>`, in the shared docking system: several can be open
at once, and they float, group as tabs, dock and close like any panel.
Opening a library that is open brings its panel forward; Previous / Next
Library show the neighbouring library in the same panel.
The library panel menu gains Persistent. The panels' view, Show Find Field
and Persistent are kept in the UI preferences (`library_panels`); at startup
the persistent panels reopen where the saved layout had them, a library
loaded from a file read again from its path (a missing file is skipped with
a status-bar note). `ui.libraryPanel {panel, library?, view?, showFind?,
persistent?}` reaches all of it; docs/mcp.md documents the panels.
The History panel looked up each step's name with tl!, which reads only
a plain catalog row. 95 of the 427 names that the engine, the tools and
the shell give their undo steps had no such row in at least one complete
catalog, and 83 had no row at all (Make Blend, New Guide, Pen, Reshape
Spine and others). A step named after an effect has the effect's menu
name without its ellipsis. For many effects, and for steps such as New
Layer, the catalogs hold that name only with the ellipsis. The panel
listed those steps in English.
Each complete catalog now has a row for every step name, written in the
catalog's own terms: 1,437 rows in the 19 catalogs. The History panel
reads a step's row, or else the row of the same name with an ellipsis,
without the ellipsis, and shows the name as recorded when the catalog
has neither. A new test reads the step names from the sources, as the
tl! and message tests read theirs, and requires a row for each in every
complete catalog.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Selecting other art drops Puppet Warp pins, ending Edit Text clears the
flat view, and a font scan lays type out again. None of these makes an
undo step or counts as an edit to save, but each one replaced the
document. A background save that finished afterwards compared the
document with the one it wrote by pointer, so the document stayed
marked modified. Data Recovery also wrote a new copy of a document whose
pins had been dropped.
DocState now records the documents that these changes replaced, and
DocState::same_content counts them as having the same content. The
modified flag, the end of a background save and Data Recovery use it.
After Edit Text ends, an undo state that was the saved one stays the
saved one.
With the Artboard tool in use, a Shift-click on a row of the Artboards
panel selects the artboards from the last row clicked without Shift to
the clicked row, and the clicked row's artboard becomes the active one.
When the artboard of the last row clicked without Shift is no longer
selected, the range starts from the active artboard, and later
Shift-clicks start from there too. Ctrl/Cmd-click still adds or removes
one artboard, and a plain click selects one. The public Select
artboards page lists Shift-click in the Artboards panel for selecting
several artboards.
A Shift-click used to add or remove one artboard, as Ctrl/Cmd-click
does (#1139).
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Nothing locked the variables: any command or panel button could delete
or rename a variable that scripts and data sets name.
variable.lock {locked?} (Lock Variables: a lock button in the Variables
panel's bottom bar and an item in its menu) sets a flag that is saved
with the document. Without `locked` it toggles, and a change is one
undo step. While the flag is set, variable.define, variable.delete,
variable.rename and the four variable.make…Dynamic commands are refused
with "variables are locked", and the panel disables New Variable…,
Variable Options…, Delete Variable and Make … Dynamic. Binding,
unbinding and the dataset commands still run. variable.list
reports `locked`. A file without the flag opens unlocked.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Document Info's Save, Save Swatch Library and Save Graphic Style
Library to a file, the Libraries panel's Export Library…, the presets
dialogs' Export…, the CSS Properties export, Print to a PostScript
file and Keyboard Shortcuts › Export… passed no file type to the save
panel. On Windows the panel listed "All Files", and neither the Windows
nor the macOS panel added the extension to a name typed without one.
Each of these saves now passes the one file type it writes, as Save and
Export do for document formats. The Windows panel then lists it, and
the Windows and macOS panels add its extension. The labels are the ones
the open dialogs use for these files (Swatch libraries, Libraries, the
presets, Shortcut sets), the Window menu's Graphic Style Libraries, Text
for Document Info, CSS and PostScript.
A selection with more than 100,000 anchors shows its bounds instead of
every outline and anchor (#525). The count took in path anchors only.
Type, images, symbol instances, placed documents, gradient meshes and
envelopes counted nothing, although the selection overlay outlines each
of them: a box, an area type frame or a type path, a baseline marker
for point type, and the points and mesh lines of meshes and envelopes.
The PDF importer makes type objects from a page's text lines, one image
object per image and one gradient mesh per patch or triangle of a mesh
shading, so selecting all of a large PDF outlined each of them: 131,072
selected mesh pieces need 16.8 million vertices, a 336 MB vertex
buffer, past wgpu's 256 MiB buffer limit.
The count now takes in what the overlay draws for each kind. Paths
count their anchors. Area type and type on a path count the anchors of
their frame or path, and point type counts six: its box's corners and
the ends of its baseline marker. Images, symbol instances, placed
documents, and area type or type on a path in perspective count the
four corners of their box, and gradient meshes and envelopes count
their points and the ends of their mesh lines. The selection's outline,
the key object's outline and the hover highlight all use the count.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
A two-finger rotation on a Mac trackpad did not turn the view. With
the new General preference Trackpad Gesture to Rotate View
(`trackpadRotateView`, on by default) and the pointer over the canvas,
the rotation turns the view about the pointer, keeping the document
point under it in place. The view does not turn until the rotation
reaches 5°; it then turns by the whole rotation and follows each later
rotation event. A rotation ends 0.25 s after its last event. A rotation
in the same frame as a pinch zooms and turns about the same point.
egui reports the gesture as `Event::Rotate`: egui-winit makes it from
winit's macOS rotation gesture, and eframe makes it from Safari's
gesture events in the web build. Rotation events that arrive while
fingers are on a touch screen do not turn the view. With the
preference off, the gesture does not turn the view.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md, docs/hardware-parity.md.
The Selection and Direct Selection tools drew the start, center and end
brackets of every selected type on a path, and hit-tested each of
them, however large the selection was: 32,768 selected type on a path
objects added 1,310,720 vertices to the frame's mesh, 40 for each
object. The PDF importer makes type on a path for curved text lines,
so selecting all of a large PDF can reach that size.
With more than 10,000 type on a path objects selected, the tools now
neither draw nor hit-test any bracket: a press where a bracket would
be does not start a bracket drag, and the pointer does not change to
the bracket cursor there. The tools draw 10 points for each object's
brackets, so 10,000 objects take 100,000, the same number as the
canvas's limit on the anchor points it outlines. The tools crate has
its own constant with the same value.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
Object > Rasterize, Crop Image, Flatten Transparency, Expand
Appearance of raster effects and Vector Halftone draw the art with the
renderer and replace it with the result. When the art held an image
that could not be decoded, the renderer drew nothing for it, and the
result lacked the image with no message. A raster export of the same
art warns that "an image couldn't be decoded and is missing from the
picture".
These five commands now compare decode_failures before and after they
draw, as raster exports do, and their replies carry that text as
`warning`. They still make their result in one undo step. The app
shows a command's `warning` in the status bar: after a menu command,
after OK in a dialog with a preview, and after a tool runs a command
(Crop Image's Apply).
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Flatten Transparency, Expand Appearance, Document
Raster Effects Settings, Vector halftone).
A selected clip group drew the outline of everything inside it: the
clipping path, the whole rectangle of a clipped image, and the whole
outline and anchors of each clipped path. The Selection tool's
bounding box, which fits the clipping path, showed on top of them.
The hover highlight and the key object outline drew the same hidden
art.
The selection overlay, the hover highlight and the key object outline
now show only the clipping path of a clip group or clipping layer,
its first child. The overlay's limit on anchors counts only that path
too, so a clip group that hides a large trace still shows its
clipping path's anchors and hover highlight. The art inside still
shows its whole outline when it is selected on its own: with Edit
Contents, a Direct or Group Selection click, or in isolation mode.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
View › Rulers › Change to Global Rulers (Cmd+Alt+R) was a disabled
stub: the rulers always counted from one document zero point. The
reference app's public help describes two modes: artboard rulers, the
default, count from the active artboard's top-left corner, and each
artboard can have its own zero point; global rulers keep one zero point
for the whole document whichever artboard is active.
https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/about-rulers.htmlhttps://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/measure-and-align/grids-and-guides/use-rulers.html
`view.globalRulers {global?}` switches the mode (toggle by default),
undoable and saved with the document (`rulers`). The menu item reads
Change to Artboard Rulers while global rulers are on. A new document has
artboard rulers; a file saved before the mode existed has no `rulers`
key and opens with global rulers, so it measures as it did.
With artboard rulers, dragging the ruler corner sets the active
artboard's zero point, kept as an offset from its corner
(`artboard_ruler_origins`, by artboard id) so it moves with the
artboard, and double-clicking the corner resets it. The global zero
point (`ruler_origin`) stays separate. `document.rulerOrigin`,
`document.setRulerOrigin` and `document.resetRulerOrigin` take
`artboard`; `Document::ruler_origin_for` is the zero point with an
artboard active, falling back to the corner or the global one when a
stored value is out of range.
The rulers, the Transform, Properties and Control bar X/Y, the Info
panel's X/Y (which ignored the zero point before), ruler-guide
readouts and Shift ruler-tick snapping all count from that zero point:
the view's active artboard reaches the tools through `ViewInfo` and
`ToolContext::ruler_origin`. Command coordinates stay absolute.
Tests: engine/tests/ruler_origin.rs (default mode, per-artboard origin
following its artboard, global origin apart, toggle and undo, save and
legacy files, out-of-range values), ui-egui/src/tests_ruler_origin.rs
(position fields and corner drag on the active artboard, menu label and
shortcut), tools/src/rulerguide.rs (guide readouts and tick snapping).
Tests written for the single global zero point now turn global rulers
on first. "Change to Artboard Rulers" is translated in every catalog.

The Appearance panel's inline effect editor showed a parameter that
picks one of some values (Roughen's Points, Offset Path's Joins, the
menus of Smart Blur, Glass, Texturizer and De-Interlace) as a text
field holding the stored value, where the effect's dialog has a
dropdown. Its labels did not have the dialog's mappings ("Channel1"
and "Max Radius" for "Channel 1:" and "Max. Radius:"), and a plug-in
choice named mode whose value is a blend mode name showed the blend
mode list.
The editor now shows the other parameters that effect::choices lists
as dropdowns with the dialog's labels (Drop Shadow's Shade keeps its
radio buttons), translated in the "effect" context, and a pick sends
the dialog's value with effect.setParams. Glass's Texture menu ends
with Loaded Texture once a texture is loaded. A plug-in's choice lists
the plug-in's values, and the blend mode dropdown is only for our own
effects. The labels are form::humanize's without the colon. The dialog
and the panel both call form::choice_label and effect::glass_textures.

Three original Artistic filters on the pixel pipeline, each with a
catalogue row, the generic live dialog, translations and tests.
- Cutout: colours softened by Edge Simplicity (less with Edge Fidelity),
split into Number of Levels steps per channel and painted as flat
pieces in their average colour; slivers along softened edges take the
nearest large piece's colour.
- Poster Edges: channels posterized to Posterization + 2 levels, black
lines on the edges of any channel and of the outline, widened by Edge
Thickness and darkened by Edge Intensity.
- Neon Glow: dimmed greys screened with a glow colour from the light
areas (positive Glow Size) or the dark ones (negative), as strong as
Glow Brightness.
All keep coverage and work in document units at any Document Raster
Effects resolution. Photoshop filters 33/57; cargo xtask ci passes all
9 steps.

Native review of the rows added in the Finnish merge: "artboard" is
piirtoalusta everywhere else in the catalog, so the two export rows that
said piirtoalue now match; "Color Scheme" becomes Väriteema so it no
longer reads the same as Swatches (Värimallit). The other added rows
read correctly and are kept.

Object › Graph › Column… was a menu stub, so a graph's columns and bars
were always plain rectangles. The reference app fills them with a graph
design, vertically scaled, uniformly scaled, repeated with a value for
each copy, or stretched at a guide line.
graph.column (Column…) draws the columns, bars or stacked segments and
the legend swatch of the series picked with Group Selection with a
design saved by Object › Graph › Design. Vertically Scaled stretches the
design to each column's length at the column's width. Uniformly Scaled
scales it both ways to that length and centers it on the column.
Repeating stacks a copy for each Each Design Represents value out from
the zero line, and For Fractions chops the last copy at the value or
scales it down. Sliding keeps the part above the design's horizontal
guide line in proportion and stretches the part below. The design and
its options are saved with the graph, and the graph follows the design
when it is renamed or deleted. Columns drawn with a design cast no drop
shadow.
A marker or legend design made of one path is now drawn in a group of
its own. Painting a series with Group Selection then leaves the design's
paint alone, as it already did for designs of several objects.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Object > Live Paint > Gap Options was a stub, and paint leaked through
any gap between the paths of a Live Paint group. The reference app's
Gap Options stop paint at small gaps, close them with unpainted paths
and preview them on the canvas.
livePaint.gapOptions (Gap Options) sets a group's options: detect (Gap
Detection), size (small 3 pt, medium 6 pt, large 12 pt, or a custom
size over 0 up to 72 pt), color (the Gap Preview Color, #rrggbb or a
layer color's name) and closeGaps, which adds an unpainted path across
each gap to the group's paths. A gap runs from a loose end of a path
to the nearest point of any path within the size, unless the paths
already join the two close by. With detection on, the faces are made
again as if a line closed each gap, and each face or edge keeps the
look of the old one it lies in or on. The options are stored on the
group, so they are saved, copied and undone with it, and Expand drops
them. Merge keeps the bottom group's options when its Gap Detection is
on, or else turns Gap Detection on with Small when another merged
group has it on. When Gap Detection is off in every merged group,
Merge keeps it off. livePaint.info lists the options and the gaps up
to the size wide that no path closes.
The menu item opens a Gap Options dialog. With Preview on, the options
apply live and the gaps show on the canvas in the preview color, and
OK keeps them as one undo step. vectorcraft-pathops gains find_gaps
and live_paint_with_gaps.

i18n: the 19 complete catalogs have rows for the dialog's labels, and
bg's Gap Options menu label now names gaps instead of line spacing.
Window › SVG Interactivity was a disabled menu item. VectorCraft could
not attach JavaScript to an object's events or link JavaScript files
for SVG export.
The SVG Interactivity panel lists 19 events, from onfocusin to
onscroll. Pick one, type its JavaScript and press Enter to add it to
the selected objects; the list shows their events. Remove Selected
Entry removes the picked event, and the panel menu's Clear Events
removes all of them. Link JavaScript Files… opens the JavaScript
Files dialog, which adds a path or URL to the document's list and
removes the selected one. Its Choose… button puts a picked file in
as a file:/// URL. The commands are svgInteractivity.info,
setEvent, removeEvent, clearEvents, addFile and removeFile, and
ui.javascriptFilesDialog. Each edit is one undo step. A document
links at most 64 files.
SVG export writes each event as an event attribute on the object's
element and each file as a <script xlink:href> element. With the SVG
Tiny 1.2 profile, export leaves the events out with a warning. SVG
import reads the listed event attributes and the script links back
as text. It never reads a linked file or runs a script, and it leaves
inline scripts and the links after the first 64 out with a warning.
The native format keeps both.
An unnamed <g> with data-* attributes of its own around a single
object now imports as a group. Before, import folded it into the
object, which then took the group's data-* or, when it had its own,
dropped the group's. An unnamed <g> with event attributes stays a
group in the same way. The SVG import fuzz tests now include event
attributes and <script> elements.

An Alt-click (Option-click on macOS) on the Artboards panel's New
Artboard used to add an artboard at once, as a plain click does. It now
opens Artboard Options for the new artboard, filled in with the name and
size that artboard.new {} would give it, and adds nothing yet. OK adds
the artboard with the fields where artboard.new {} would place it (20 pt
to the right of the last artboard) in one undo step, and makes it the
active artboard; Cancel adds no artboard. A plain click and a row
dropped on the button work as before.
The new UI command ui.newArtboard ("New Artboard Options…") opens the
dialog. It is listed after ui.newLayer, and its label has a row in each
catalog.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The Contextual Task Bar showed only with the selection tools and
selected objects. With the Artboard tool it never showed.
With the Artboard tool, the bar now sits under the selected artboards
and offers Resize, which opens Artboard Options for the active
artboard; Duplicate, which copies each selected artboard in one undo
step and selects the copies; Rearrange All, with two or more
artboards, which opens Rearrange All Artboards; and Export, which
opens Export for Screens with the selected artboards checked. The
objects' Fill, Recolor Artwork and Lock buttons are not shown with
the Artboard tool. "Resize" has a row in every catalog.
Docs: docs/target-app-parity.md.
With the Artboard tool in use, the Control bar showed Move and Scale
Artwork with Artboard and then the object controls (Fill, Stroke,
Opacity and the rest). The reference app's help lists the Control
panel, with the Artboard tool, among the places to add, delete,
rename, resize and position artboards, set their orientation and
reference point, and open Artboard Options.
While the tool is in use, the Control bar now shows the active
artboard's controls in place of the object controls: Preset, Portrait
and Landscape, New Artboard, Delete Artboard, the Name field, Artboard
Options, Rearrange All Artboards, the Transform link, Move and Scale
Artwork with Artboard, and the reference point with X, Y, W and H and
the Constrain Width and Height Proportions link. Each control runs the
command its Properties or Transform panel counterpart runs, and the
reference point is the one the Transform panel uses. In an 800-point
window the controls up to the Transform link fit, the two artwork
options show as their boxes with their names in tooltips, and the link
opens the position and size in a popover, as it does for objects.
