A settings get no longer reads and parses settings.json each time. The
parsed settings are kept per plug-in folder and read again only when the
file's size or modified time changes. A set to the value a key already
has writes nothing, and every other change is written with an atomic
write before the call returns. plugin.remove drops the kept copy.
cacheBytes in plugin.list, plugin.info and plugin.install comes from a
total kept while the cache folder keeps its modified time, instead of a
listing of up to 8,192 items per call. A cache write still lists the
folder to enforce the caps.
docs/plugins.md states what a run counts and that a cache call moves a
whole entry in one step. docs/plugins.md and docs/mcp.md now say when a
later plugin.remove retries a leftover .removed folder.
With New Art Has Basic Appearance on (the default), the selection never
reached the fill and stroke proxies, so new art kept the colours set last.
A select.* command or layer.target that changes the selection now loads
the proxies and the weight from what the selection shows in them.
A paint or weight the selected objects don't share stays as it was, and
art without paint (a placed image) changes nothing. The template is left
alone, and only a changed selection loads, so a sampled paint stays.
With Scale Strokes & Effects or Transform Patterns on, the path and each copy are moved by Node::transform, which fixed a fitted gradient to its fit before a scale of 0 flattened it to one color. Scaling::keep_fit_when_flat keeps the gradient fitted under a map that flattens the object (node::flattens, the gate fixes_fit already used), and the Transform effect's path transforms set it.
docs/target-app-parity.md also says that the Gradient tool still shows a fitted gradient's vector at its unturned fit.
A CMYK image's pixels are now its inks shown through the working CMYK profile, by a table built
the way the canvas builds its own, instead of the image decoder's own conversion to RGB.
An output lists at most 100,000 objects and must return every read-only object, so an input with
more than that many is now an object-budget limit before the plug-in starts.
A path or compound path that doesn't fit what is left of the input now fails the run with the
runtime's own "selection is too large to hand over" limit before the rest of the selection is
written, instead of later read-only objects reporting a size error. Objects that clip a clip
group are left out for every filter: compound paths and paths inside a group that clips one
reached filters before, as type, images and symbol instances did.
A range of 4,096 indices or fewer is visited index by index, and so is a
longer one that is at most 8 times the properties on the object and its
prototypes. Each index visited takes fuel.
