With undecoded-image marks off, an image in an opacity mask's art that
failed to draw left a hole in the mask. Without Clip, the area outside
the mask art counts as white, so the masked object showed in full.
The renderer now notes an image that fails to draw while mask art is
drawn and leaves the masked object out, as PDF export does since #4765.
This covers images in pattern tiles and in cached effect and shadow
rasters, which remember the failure and report it again when they are
reused. Nested masks pass the failure outward, and View Opacity Mask
shows no coverage for such a mask. An image still waiting to be decoded,
or drawn with the undecoded-image mark, keeps today's behavior.
With Document Swatches as the library, traced fills and strokes take the
library color without a swatch link. Global, spot and tint swatches no
longer link the trace, so editing a swatch later leaves the trace
unchanged, and swatch order no longer decides whether a fill is linked.
Each region still takes the nearest library color, and a tint traces at
the color the tint swatch shows.
The Tabs panel's ruler shows an upper marker at the first line's position
(left indent plus first-line indent) and a lower marker at the left
indent. Dragging the upper marker sets the first-line indent. Dragging the
lower marker sets the left indent and keeps each paragraph's first line
where it was; Ctrl-dragging it (Command on macOS) moves both markers.
Marker drags land on whole points, or on ruler ticks with Snap to Unit or
Shift, and each release is one undo step through text.setFormat. With a
marker selected, the X (or Y) field shows and sets its position.
When the touched paragraphs have different left indents, only the upper
marker is shown, and its position applies to every touched paragraph.
Path Precision Tools gains the Shared Edge Merge Tool, kept out of the
toolbars (All Tools drawer and Object › Plug-ins › Path Precision Tools,
no shortcut), and Keep Shared Points Together:
- Shared Edge Merge Tool (sharedEdge): over two paths touching at two
coincident anchors (tolerance 0 to 3 pt) hovering shows the two
stretches and the merged edge; a click replaces both with it, half way
between them, or following the upper (Shift) or lower (Alt) path. Both
paths stay closed or open, anchors either stretch has inside are
matched on the other, one undo step.
- Making ends: near anchors meet on a click and an anchor one path lacks
is added to match; Shift+Alt asks for this inside a stretch.
- Keep Shared Points Together: an option that makes Slide Anchor Along
Path, Extend Path and Set Anchor take coincident anchors along. Nothing
else in the app changes.
- Shared Edges section in the Anchor Inspector: brush diameter,
coincidence and the option.
- Commands addon.pathtools.mergeEdge and movePointsTogether, params
validated and covered by the command sweep.
- Cursor stand-in, catalog rows in every language, docs and tests.
With the Live Paint Bucket, Alt-click on vector art samples its fill,
stroke and stroke weight into the paint defaults, and on a placed image
it samples the pixel as a solid fill with no stroke. Alt+Shift-click
samples only the color under the pointer, including an intermediate
gradient color or image pixels, into the active fill or stroke. Neither
click paints or changes the selection or selected art, and the next
Bucket click paints with the sampled paint. While Alt is held, the
Bucket shows the Eyedropper cursor and no face or edge highlight.
appearance.copyFrom takes `defaultsOnly: true` to update only the paint
defaults, and paint.sampleColor takes `clearStroke: true` to clear the
stroke default after an image sample into the fill.
A knockout element with one opaque Normal solid fill (a path or
compound, no mask, effects or isolation) is drawn once under
AntiAlias::None, including the internal hard-edge frame of Art
Optimized supersampled exports, instead of being erased and added back
through per-element backdrop layers. Analytical antialiasing keeps the
existing compositor and rounding.
Exact-pixel tests compare against the general knockout path for paths
and compound holes across precision, supersampling, translucent parents
and copied backdrops, and check that the backdrop rasters are skipped;
translucent fills keep their knockout compositing.

The constant is used only by the Linux Wayland arms, so on macOS it is
dead code and `cargo clippy -p vectorcraft --all-targets -- -D warnings`
fails with "constant `TEXT_ONLY` is never used". Gate it with
`#[cfg(target_os = "linux")]`, as the `Wayland` variant beside it is.
With a path selected that the Smooth tool can change, Alt held at a
Paintbrush press now switches the drag to the Smooth tool: it smooths the
selected paths under the drag with the Smooth tool's radius and Smooth Tool
Options' Fidelity, and the cursor shows the Smooth tool before the press.
Alt pressed after a stroke begins still closes the path on release. With no
such path selected (nothing, only text or an image, or only a two-point
line), Alt at the press draws the closed stroke as before.
The Paintbrush no longer reads the Pencil's "Alt key toggles to Smooth Tool"
setting: its Alt close and Alt smoothing do not depend on it.
An Escape that cancels a ruler-origin drag or a floating Tools panel move
now stops there: the active tool does not receive it, so a tool's own
Escape action (for example Intertwine returning to the Selection tool)
waits for the next press. The ruler-origin test also covers the drawer
and Global Edit.
A Selection or transform drag held still now gets another drag event when
the backquote key goes down or up, as it already did for Shift, Alt,
Cmd/Ctrl and Space, so the preview switches between a pattern-only and an
ordinary transform without waiting for the next pointer move.
Saving a legacy .ai with transparent images flattened expands pattern
fills whose tile image is see-through or has opacity or a blending mode,
so the tile images flatten with the art under them. A pattern whose tile
is an opaque grayscale image with a colorize paint was not expanded, so
the writer drew the source gray pixels over white. A colorize paint now
counts too.
An unclipped opacity mask is drawn on a white backdrop. When an image in
the mask art could not be written (a colorized image whose color channel
is over the size limit, an image that can't be decoded, or one placed
beyond the coordinates a file holds), the backdrop stayed white and the
masked object showed in full where the image should hide it.
The exporter now records an image left out while it writes mask art,
and leaves the masked object out instead of applying the incomplete
mask, with a warning. A failure in a nested mask makes the outer mask
incomplete too.
colorized_image returned before its cache insertion when the image was
missing, left out or undecodable, or when its color channel was larger
than MAX_RASTER_ALLOC. Every placement of such an image then decoded it
and computed its coverage again. Both cases now cache None for the key,
as load_image does.
a_temp_dir_starts_empty_in_a_process_and_stays_for_later_calls
pre-created the "earlier process" directory with create_dir_all, which
under a usual umask gives others access, so temp_dir refused it as not
private and the test failed on every Unix run (main's CI included).
The test now makes it with mode 0o700; temp_dir and the assertions are
unchanged.
The import read each form's /Group /I and /K from the file in order and
matched them to the transparency groups the interpreter pushed. The
interpreter draws a group that adds nothing (full opacity, Normal, no
mask, neither flag) straight onto its parent without pushing it, so every
group after one took another group's flags. Blend steps written as a
knockout group of falling opacity then painted over each other and drew
as solid dark shapes instead of light rings.
The interpreter already reports the flags right after pushing a group
(set_knockout, set_isolated); the import now uses those and drops the
file-order list. That list was capped at 10,000 entries, past which a page
failed to import; that limit goes with it.
#4757 gives a blend the Xy written after its record. When the blend is a
layer's last object, the layer's own state block (Xy, Xd, 7 () XW, LB)
went to the blend instead, and the layer stayed opaque. The blend's state
is now tentative like a mesh's (#4748): its own 6 () XW confirms it, the
layer's LB gives it to the layer and the blend keeps what it had.
Also records the .ai/EPS audit fixes under G9, the File formats row and M4.
A PDF saved with Illustrator editing data for only some of its artboards
has pages for those artboards, while the editing data keeps them all. The
layers were compared with the first page on the first artboard, so a page
showing a later artboard never matched and the file came in as its PDF
part, without its layers.
With fewer pages than artboards, the first page is now taken to be the
artboard of its size whose art draws most like it (up to 16 weighed), and
the pages' type goes to that artboard and the ones after it. All the
artboards still come in, and the comparison still decides whether the
layers are used.
A gradient mesh with an opacity mask has its own state (`Xy`) after the
mask's dictionary, not right after its `/End X!`. The operators of the
mask's art, on `%_` lines, cleared the flag that says a mesh just ended,
so the state was read as the next object's and each masked mesh in a
run drew with the blend mode of the one before it.
The flag now goes back to what it was when a dictionary opened once it
closes, as `after_object` does.
Path Precision Tools gains two tools, kept out of the toolbars (All Tools
drawer and Object › Plug-ins › Path Precision Tools, no shortcuts):
- Corner Tool (cornerTool): editable corners on any path through the
existing Live Corners. Hover shows an eligible anchor, a click cuts a
corner with the tool's radius and kind, a drag sizes it (Shift: whole
values), a corner's marker selects it and loads its values, resizes it
and removes it at 0 or on a double-click; a corner never grows past
what fits; an Alt-marquee cuts every eligible anchor inside.
- Corners section in the Anchor Inspector: radius, kind, selected count,
Apply to Selected Anchors.
- Slide Anchor Along Path (slideAnchor): a drag runs an anchor along its
curve, the neighbouring segments refitted by the keep-shape kernel;
Shift snaps where the tangent is a multiple of 45° from the constrain
angle.
- Commands addon.pathtools.cornerSet, cornerRemove and slideAnchor, one
undo step each, params validated and covered by the command sweep.
- Cursor stand-ins, catalog rows in every language, docs and tests.
A layer's own state block (Xy, Xd, 7 () XW before LB) can have the
stroke style (J j w M d XR) between its Xy and Xd. Read as the art moving
on, it dropped the layer's opacity, so a layer at 17% drew opaque and the
file came in as its page. The stroke style now keeps the pending layer
state, and the state a mesh before it had; an object's own 6 () XW block
still isn't the layer's.
