The EPS reader read PostScript by any name, but the Open and Place
dialogs hid .ps and .epsf files, and a .ps or .epsf file whose header
is only %! could not be opened or placed ("not a format VectorCraft
reads"). The reference app lists .eps, .epsf and .ps under Open and
Place.
- A read-only PostScript format (ps) joins the format table. A .ps
file opens and places through the EPS reader and reports the
ps format. document.export does not write .ps; file.print does.
- .epsf is an EPS extension.
- OPEN_EXTS and PLACE_EXTS list epsf and ps, so the dialogs, the CLI
help and the MCP open_file description list them.
UNASSOCIATED_EXTS lists them too: the macOS bundle declares neither.
- A .ps or .epsf file whose header is only %! now pastes as EPS when
copied in a file manager, as one with a %!PS header already did, and
clipboard.importEps reads PostScript whose header is only %!, which
it rejected before.

A double-click on a ruler guide with the Selection, Direct Selection or
Group Selection tool did nothing, whatever keys were held. A guide could
be released only with View › Guides › Release Guides.
With the Selection, Direct Selection or Group Selection tool, a
double-click with Cmd/Ctrl and Shift held now runs view.guides.release
on the ruler guide under the pointer (index) or, when no ruler guide
is there, on the guide path under it (ids). Nothing is released while
guides are hidden or locked, and a double-click without both keys does
what it did before.

The Character panel menu's Reset Panel reset tracking, leading,
kerning, baseline shift, the scales, rotation, underline,
strikethrough and All Caps, but left Small Caps, superscript or
subscript, Character Alignment, Proportional Metrics and Digits at
their custom values.
Reset Panel now also sets those five to their defaults in the same
text.setFormat call, with the values taken from CharStyle::default().
It resets them in the same characters as the other attributes: those
of the selected type, or, while the Type tool edits text, its
selection (all of that text at a caret). It resets them whether or
not Show East Asian Options and Show Indic Options (Preferences ›
Type) are on.
The Layers panel menu had no saved-selection items, and the Select
menu was the only menu that listed saved selections. The reference
app's help also names a Save Selection menu in the Layers panel that
lists the saved selections and holds Save Selection, Update Selection
and Edit Selection.
The Layers panel menu now has a Save Selection submenu after Locate
Object. It holds Save Selection…, Update Selection and Edit Selection…,
which are enabled and run as in the Select menu, and below them the
active document's saved selections. Choosing a name runs select.recall
with that name, as the Select menu's list does.

Native files remember the grid like the saved view, so reopening restores it.
Toggling it is still view state: no undo step, document not marked modified.
Fixes#1968
rgba_within checked an image's size as RGBA against the allowance it
was given (2 GB on the desktop), then decoded the image within the
image crate's default limit of 512 MB. An image whose decoded pixels
take more than 512 MB, such as an RGBA image of 11,586 × 11,586 pixels,
was refused although the canvas draws it: the Eyedropper picked up
nothing from it, and Edit Colors, Recolor Artwork, print separations
and the color adjustment effects in export and Expand Appearance left
its pixels as they were.
The decoder's limit is now the allowance that rgba_within is given.
An image decoded as RGBA is no longer copied before it is used.
With several artboards selected, the Artboards panel menu's Duplicate
Artboards copied only the active one, and Copy and Cut with the
Artboard tool took only the tool's active artboard.
artboard.duplicate, artboard.copy and artboard.cut now take `indices`,
and without `index` or `indices` they act on the artboards the
Artboard tool has selected. Duplicate Artboards passes the selected
artboards and selects the copies. Duplicate and Cut are one undo step
each, and Paste adds every copied artboard back, with its art, in one
undo step. The copies keep their places relative to each other,
together right of the last artboard. A cut fails when it names every
artboard.

file.saveAsTemplate kept a name whose extension named another format
and wrote the template into it: {path: "card.png"} wrote .vctemplate
JSON to card.png, and card.pdf typed in the desktop save panel got it
too. file.saveAs {format: "ait"} answered that document.export writes
other formats, but document.export does not write .ait either.
file.saveAsTemplate now replaces another format's extension (card.png
is saved as card.vctemplate, or card.ait for format: "ait") and adds
the extension to a name whose extension names no format. The desktop
panel adds the template's extension to any name that does not end in
a template extension (card.pdf.vctemplate), as Save As adds its own.
Save and Save As still refuse ait, and the error now names
file.saveAsTemplate.

effect.apply and effect.setParams stored any string as the color of
Drop Shadow, Inner Glow, Outer Glow and Shift to Color. When the
effect could not read it, it drew its default color with no message,
so a typo such as #ff00 in the Drop Shadow dialog turned the shadow
black.
The commands now refuse such a color before they edit, with
"`color` must be a #rrggbb color", and the document and its undo
history stay as they were. Hex colors, the five named colors,
[r, g, b] and color objects still pass. The check runs in the
commands, so the app, command.batch steps and replayed journals get
it too. The effect dialog's OK shows the error and keeps the dialog
open, with Preview on or off. Saved documents open as before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (effect params).
A raster export warns that "an image couldn't be decoded and is
missing from the picture" when the count of failed decodes rose while
it drew. A pattern fill draws from a tile kept for each thread, and a
tile taken from that cache draws none of its art. Only the export that
made the tile counted the image, and later exports of the document gave
no warning although their pictures lacked the image too. The raster
kept for a blurred or filtered object had the same fault: the renderer
that draws pattern tiles keeps those rasters from one tile to the next,
so a tile drawn again took such an object from its raster and counted
nothing.
A kept tile and a kept effect raster now store how many decodes failed
on their thread while they were made, and each draw from them adds that
number to the count again.
Labels that the UI looks up through a variable or a context (#1259) had
rows only in the Bulgarian, Czech, Greek, Spanish, Finnish, French,
Polish, Brazilian Portuguese and Swedish catalogs. In German, Hungarian,
Italian, Japanese, Korean, Russian, Ukrainian, Vietnamese and both
Chinese, the UI showed most of them in English: the file dialogs' filter
names, the status bar's render and UI timings, New Document's preset
name, and the contributor tooltips with their plurals. The Printer mark
type list showed English "Roman" in each of those languages except
Hungarian, and in Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese and both Chinese it
showed the language's name for Japanese.
Those catalogs get the rows, each next to its related entry. German also
gets rows for the 3D gizmo's light, which the UI showed as "Hell"
(bright), and for Grain's Regular type, which the UI showed in English.
complete_catalogs_translate_render_site_labels requires the rows those
catalogs get and the light's row in every complete catalog, and checks
German's Regular row.

A style captured from text left out the attributes that the text's
JSON skips at their defaults, such as the Hyphenation options, the
Composer, tab stops, Auto kerning and the character alignment.
Redefining a paragraph or character style from text set
back to the defaults therefore did not reach the text using the
style: a paragraph that had the old Hyphen Limit or Single-line
Composer from the style kept it. setAttrs dropped a default value it
was given in the same way.
New and Redefine now capture every attribute of the selected text,
and charStyle.setAttrs and paraStyle.setAttrs keep a default value.
When a style changes, text whose value equals the old definition's
takes the new value, a default included. Local overrides on text that
uses a style other than the Normal styles stay, and an attribute that
setAttrs leaves out still leaves the text's value alone. The Character
Styles and Paragraph Styles panels compare the attributes a style holds
with the same attributes of the selection. A paragraph style made from
type with Auto alignment no longer shows "+" on that type.
Two existing behaviors change. Applying a style made with New or
Redefine from text, without Clear Overrides, now also sets the
attributes that text had at their defaults, such as Auto kerning, no
OpenType features, the Every-line Composer, no tab stops and the
default Hyphenation options. Redefining [Normal Paragraph Style] or
[Normal Character Style] from text gives every paragraph or run that
uses it those attributes too, so local values of them on that text are
reset.

Batch over data sets names each output file after the document and the
data set, as the reference app's File + Data Set Name option does. It
joined that name onto the destination folder as it was, and a data set
name can hold any character. A data set named a/b failed to save, and
one named a/../../x wrote its file outside the destination folder. On
Windows, one named c\d also failed to save, and one named e:f left an
empty file.
The data set's name now goes through file_part, which Export for
Screens uses for its file name prefix and a format row's suffix, so
output file names have - in place of /, \ and : from a data set's name.
When two data sets then give the same name, compared without case, the
later ones get -2, -3 and so on, as artboard file names do, through a
distinct_names helper split out of unique_file_names. This covers the
folder destination and Override Save/Export.

The Character panel's Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript buttons
were disabled, with "(on the roadmap)" tips, and always drawn off, and
the panel menu's items of the same names were disabled, although
text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle already set smallCaps and
position. The reference app applies all three from the Character
panel menu.
The three buttons and menu items now turn small caps and the
superscript or subscript position on and off for the selected type, or
for the text the Type tool has selected, in Document Setup's
proportions. Turning Superscript on turns Subscript off, and turning
Subscript on turns Superscript off. They show as on when the first
selected character has the attribute, as the All Caps, Underline and
Strikethrough toggles do.
docs/mcp.md did not mention smallCaps and position; it now describes
them for text.setFormat and text.setRangeStyle.

An object whose art style had a Drop Shadow with Darkness (a csrc
other than 0 in the shadow filter's dictionary) came in as its drawn
look, with a warning that its appearance isn't editable yet. With a
Color shadow instead, the same object comes in as itself with its
fill, stroke and shadow.
The reader now reads such a shadow as Drop Shadow with shade
"darkness" and darkness set to the filter's dark value, a percentage
kept within 0 to 100, or 100 when the value is missing or not a
finite number. The shadow's other keys are read as for a shadow with Color,
and the object comes in as itself wherever it would with a shadow with
Color. A shadow with Color comes in with the same params as before.
The import fuzz's .ai tokens now include csrc and dark.

Each style run was shaped on its own, so restyling one character, even
only its fill, dropped the font's kerning pairs at the new run
boundaries. A fill change on the V of 40 pt "AVAV" moved it 0.56 pt and
moved the characters after it 1.12 pt. Manual kerning on a character
also dropped the font's kerning with the character before it.
Adjacent runs that differ only in fill, stroke, underline,
strikethrough, overprint, character style name, leading, baseline
shift, rotation, Character Alignment, kerning, or tracking (as long as
both values leave standard ligatures on or both turn them off) are now
shaped together, and each glyph takes those attributes from its own
run. The font's kerning pairs apply after characters with automatic
kerning: a manual value replaces the pair after its character, and the
pair before it stays, except before a character that All Caps or Small
Caps sets as two letters (ß as SS). A change of font, size, scale or
OpenType features still shapes the characters apart, and a ligature or
a mark still does not join characters in different styles.
