Boxes that touch at -0.0/+0.0 now count as overlapping, so the pair cap cannot be skipped. try_boolean_n, try_unite_all and try_area report a refused input, and the Pathfinder shape-mode unite and the Blob Brush use them to show an error. When the planar map is over its budget, the fallback leaves out paths that fill nothing so a flood of cutting lines cannot take the filled shapes down with it.

useArtboards: false writes one file of the visible art even when artboards are named. With useArtboards absent, naming artboards writes the same files as useArtboards: true, including the no-art exception for the central file. The option description and the document.exportEps params text now say so, and the EPS test covers both cases.
With nothing selected and no ids, set_paint changes only the paint for
new art, but its reply was the same as when it painted objects, so a
caller could not tell that no object changed.
paint.setFill, paint.setStroke, paint.none, paint.lastColor,
paint.lastGradient and stroke.set now reply {objects}: how many objects
took the paint, as the commands resolve their targets (a selected group
counts the objects inside it). set_paint adds the largest of those
counts to its reply as `objects`, and when it is 0 a `note` says that
only the paint for new art changed. The tool description and the
set_paint row in docs/mcp.md describe the reply.
A misspelled parameter key got a did-you-mean suggestion, but a
misspelled command id only got "unknown command `select.al`", through
the CLI, MCP and the control channel alike. Session::execute now names
the nearest command id, using the same matching as parameter keys
(ignoring case), and action.batch does the same for an unknown step. An
id with no near match keeps the plain error.
The matching skips candidates whose length differs by more than the
allowed number of edits, so a very long unknown command id or parameter
key is answered at once instead of being measured against every command
id or accepted key.
The new message has a row in every catalog, and docs/mcp.md's
Parameter keys section shows it.
New Symbol and Redefine Symbol replaced a frame of threaded text by a
symbol instance whose art holds a copy of the frame. The thread's
re-flow then added the frame's text to the story, as it does for a
frame that was deleted, so the other frames held that text a second
time while the instance drew it.
A frame that New Symbol or Redefine Symbol puts in the symbol now
leaves its thread with the text it shows, and the other frames keep
the text they hold, as with Create Outlines, Expand and Flatten
Transparency. When the thread's last frame goes into the symbol, the
text it has no room for goes after the text of the last frame that
stays, and the copy in the symbol's art holds only the text the frame
shows. When every frame of a thread goes into the symbol, the copy of
the last frame keeps all its text. Undo restores the thread.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
File > Data Recovery read the copy without marking the threaded frames
whose first paragraph continues from the frame before, so those frames
drew the paragraph's first-line indent and list marker again until the
next edit re-flowed the thread. The restored copy now gets the same
marks as an opened file.
In a file name pattern, <filename> is documented as the document's name
without its extension, but it expanded to the File Info title whenever the
document had one, so a saved my-logo.vectorcraft titled "Logo: final
version" exported as Logo--final-version__Artboard 1.png. The Full
Document file and the .zip took the same title.
Export for Screens and the dialog's Example line now take <filename> from
the document's file, as Save names it (save.rs), and fall back to the
title only for a document that has not been saved.
Object › Rasterize replaced a frame of threaded text by an image of
it. The thread's re-flow then added the frame's text to the story, as
it does for a frame that was deleted, so the other frames held that
text a second time while the image drew it.
A frame that Rasterize turns into an image now leaves its thread with
the text it shows, and the other frames keep the text they hold, as
with Create Outlines and Expand. When the thread's last frame is
rasterized, the text it has no room for goes after the text of the
last frame that stays. A thread left with one frame is no longer a
thread, and undo restores the thread.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Object › Flatten Transparency replaced a frame of threaded text by its
outlines with Convert All Text to Outlines, and by flat regions or an
image where the frame was transparent. The thread's re-flow then added
the frame's text to the story, as it does for a frame that was deleted,
so the other frames held that text a second time while the outlines,
regions or image drew it.
A frame that Flatten Transparency outlines or flattens now leaves its
thread with the text it shows, and the other frames keep the text they
hold, as with Create Outlines and Expand. When the thread's last frame
is flattened, the text it has no room for goes after the text of the
last frame that stays. A thread left with one frame is no longer a
thread, and undo restores the thread.

A merge removed every piece of an open line that had a merged region on
both sides. The end of a line that stops inside a shape has the same
region on both sides, so a click or a drag on the shape, or deleting it
in erase mode, cut the line back to where it enters the shape.
A piece is now removed only when it runs between two different merged
or deleted regions. A line that crosses a shape still splits it, and
merging the two halves still removes the piece between them.
A drag tested points spaced by a step that grew with the selection (at
least 0.25 pt), and the tool's highlight tested points 2 screen pixels
apart. A region narrower than the step, such as a thin overlap, fell
between samples: it kept its piece of each source, the merge left strips
behind, or the drag failed with "no region under the pointer" while the
highlight showed the region. Zoomed out, the highlight could miss a
region the merge then took.
The drag now finds where each segment crosses a region outline and tests
the middle of every stretch between crossings, so every region it
crosses is picked. The tool's highlight and shapeBuilder.merge use the
same picking, and Shaper's scribble picks the faces it crosses the same
way. In erase mode the line pieces and edges are still found within the
tolerance, and a segment that crosses one also tests the crossing point.
Shaper's scribble found the strokes to erase at points at least 0.5 pt
apart, so with a tolerance below 1 pt it could pass over a stroke
without erasing it. It now also tests where the scribble crosses each
stroke and points tolerance / 2 apart.
A paragraph split between two threaded frames took its first-line
indent again at the top of the next frame, and a list paragraph drew
its bullet or number there again. Each frame is laid out on its own,
and its first paragraph kept every paragraph attribute there.
A text object now marks a frame whose first paragraph continues from
the frame before (first_para_continues, not saved). The thread re-flow
sets the mark where each frame's share starts inside a paragraph and
measures each share with it, and a restored document reads the marks
from its saved text. Area type and type on a path set the first line of
such a paragraph as a wrapped line: no first-line indent and no bullet
or number. The paragraph after it takes the next number. Release
Selection, Remove Threading, Convert To Point Type and copies of a
frame clear the mark, so the first paragraph there has its indent and
bullet or number again. When Create Outlines, Expand or Expand
Appearance takes frames out of a thread, a frame that stays keeps the
mark only while it is threaded and the frames before it end inside a
paragraph. A frame whose mark changes lays out its first line again,
and when it is still threaded, its thread re-flows. When the outlined
frame is the last one, the text it has no room for is measured as the
frame lays it out: without the first-line indent when it continues a
paragraph, and with its numbers counted on from the frames before it.
The frame before it now takes exactly the text the last frame has no
room for. Duplicates, copies dragged in the Layers panel, the copies
that Release to Layers (Build), Release Opacity Mask and Edit Opacity
Mask make, and Draw Inside's clipping copy then have their cached
bounds computed again, as paste already does for pasted type.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
With Use Artboards and two or more artboards, a document with no visible art gets only the artboard files. The useArtboards and range descriptions, the document.export and document.exportEps params text, the control protocol and the parity line now say so.
A document opened or created between edit.undoGroup.begin and
edit.undoGroup.end opens an undo group of its own with the begun
group's name, so an atomic command_batch that starts with file.new or
document.open is one undo step in the new document. The group opens
after the command that opens the document: when that command also
edits it (a command.batch), those edits stay the command's own undo
step, and a canceled group keeps them, so the journal still replays.
Both commands also run with no document open, and a command.batch that
fails rolls back a begun group. Switching to a document that was
already open does not open a group in it.
Flat Logo traces a copy of the image at most 1024 pixels on a side,
averaged down by a whole factor, so a 1025-pixel image is traced at
513 pixels. The trace's warnings did not say so, because they compared
the image only with the decoded raster. For an image over 1500 pixels
they said instead that it is traced more slowly, which Flat Logo does
not do.
The trace result now carries Flat Logo's working size when it averaged
the image down. imageTrace.make and imageTrace.makeAndExpand then name
both sizes in their warnings, and the status bar shows that note, in
place of the slower-trace and megapixel notes. Other modes keep their
warnings. The message has a row in each catalog that translates the
other Image Trace warnings.
Live Paint builds its faces and edges from path outlines alone. Make,
Merge and the Live Paint Bucket put every selected object among the
group's hidden sources, so type, an image, a symbol, a blend or a group
holding one of them vanished from the canvas. They now refuse such a
selection before changing anything ("Live Paint takes paths and compound
paths: convert type, images and other objects to paths first"), as type
and raster images can't go into a Live Paint group directly
(https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/paint-and-fill/learn-painting-basics/create-live-paint-groups.html).
One predicate, vectorcraft_tools::builder::live_paint_takes (Live Paint
groups, paths, compound paths and groups of them), decides it for Make,
Merge and the Properties panel's Merge Live Paint, which no longer shows
for a selection Merge refuses. The message has an @msg row in every
catalog.
Tests: tests_build::live_paint_refuses_type_and_images_and_changes_nothing
(Merge, Make and the Bucket with type, an image or a group holding type:
refused, document, selection and undo history unchanged; a group of
paths and a path still merge) and
panels::properties::tests::merge_live_paint_is_a_quick_action_for_a_live_paint_group_and_more
(hidden with type selected). Both fail without the change.

A save (document.save, file.saveAs, file.saveCopy) passes its options to
the export encoders, so an option an encoder refused was reported under
document.export: file.saveCopy with format pdf and range "5" on a
document of three artboards, or with format ai and compress "yes", or
document.save to a .vectorcraft path with compress "yes", failed with
"invalid parameters for `document.export`". The error now names the
save command that was run, for PDF, SVG, .ai, .ait and native files.
document.export's own errors are unchanged.
A native save was pretty-printed when the document had at most 2,000
layers and objects and its compact JSON was at most 1 MiB. Pretty
printing puts every coordinate on its own indented line, so traced art
with few paths and many anchors could pass that check and be written at
about five times the size of its compact JSON.
The 1 MiB limit now applies to the pretty-printed document, indented as
the file holds it and in the form the save writes: version 1 anchors,
and placed documents expanded for older versions or Include Linked
Files. Documents whose pretty-printed JSON is over 1 MiB are saved as
compact JSON, even when their compact JSON is under it. The 2,000-object
rule and compressed saves are unchanged. docs/mcp.md describes the rule.
The editing data's palette (%AI5_BeginPalette) was skipped, so a .ai file
opened with the default swatches plus only the spot colours its art used:
inks the art doesn't use (a Pantone set kept in the file) and colour groups
were lost. The palette is now read in order (process, spot in CMYK, RGB or
Lab, and global colours, gradients and patterns, colour groups; versioned
content read once) and replaces the default swatches.
Xs/Xz (Registration at a tint, as printer's marks use it) are read as the
Registration swatch: before, art painted with them stopped the editing data
from being read at all.

With model "keep" (the default), a row whose new color is in another
color model gives linked art the color converted into the art's model.
That art no longer stays linked to the rewritten group swatch, which
holds the color in its own model, and the reply's note reports the
conversion.
When recolor.apply with a group rewrites a global swatch with another
color than the row of the art linked to it, and that row leaves the art's
color as it is, the art now keeps the row's color and is no longer linked
to the swatch. Before, the link stayed and the group's rewrite gave the
art the swatch's new color.
Art linked to a global swatch of the group that recolor.apply rewrites stays
linked when the swatch takes its row's new color: it shows that color at its
tint, and a later swatch.edit still reaches it. Before, the art took the new
color unlinked. With group, the reply adds relinked, the count of other linked
paints that followed the group's new colors.
With Use Artboards and two or more artboards, EPS export now writes a
central file under the path's own name before the file of each artboard.
The central file contains the whole document, and its bounding box is
the visible art, as in an export without Use Artboards. An export of a
single chosen artboard still writes one file at the path's name, and
Export for Screens still writes one EPS per artboard. When no art shows,
only the artboard files are written.
Docs: the useArtboards params text, the MCP export tool's range text,
docs/mcp.md, docs/control-protocol.md and docs/target-app-parity.md.
document.find took only name, kind and text, so removing hairline slivers or
every object in one region needed the whole inspect tree and a filter
written outside the app. It now also takes within and intersects
([x, y, width, height] in document points), min and max width, height,
thickness (the smaller side) and area of the geometric bounds, and min and
max anchor count (a compound path counts its members together). Each given
filter must match, and limits are inclusive.
select: true also selects the matches, leaving out hidden and locked
objects, matches inside another match, and compound path members unless
the compound path is isolated; the reply adds selected. Select > Reselect
repeats the find, and an action being recorded records a find that
selects. The count that select.color, the Select > Same commands and the
Select > Object commands report is now the number of objects selected,
after Lock Guides leaves out guide paths.
The title field of document.inspect and the document.open reply is the
document's tab name, which comes from the file name once the document
is saved to or opened from a file. A client had to call file.info or
document.info to read the File Info title, so reading a saved
document's title from these replies gave the file name instead.
Both replies now add fileInfoTitle, the title file.info reports, and
keep title as it was. docs/mcp.md's File Info section describes both.
imageTrace.make and imageTrace.makeAndExpand checked their own keys, but
not the keys inside `params`. A misspelled setting such as `colours` was
dropped, and the trace ran with the preset's value and no error.
A key inside `params` that is not a trace setting is now an error that
names the nearest setting, as for a command's own keys. Errors from
imageTrace.makeAndExpand, including those for `enhanced` and a missing
swatch library, name that command instead of imageTrace.make.
recolor.colors and recolor.reduce were unavailable with nothing selected, so
listing a document's colors needed a select.all first, which also changed the
selection. Both now take ids and read the selection when ids is left out.
With nothing selected they read the objects Select All takes and the objects
inside them: hidden and locked objects are left out with what they hold, also
inside a group, as are the objects of hidden, locked and template layers, and
in isolation mode only the isolated art is read. The selection is left
unchanged. An object named in ids or selected is read with everything it
holds, and an object listed twice, or listed together with a group that holds
it, counts once. recolor.apply still recolors only the selection.
The params descriptions of Same Fill Color, Stroke Color, Fill & Stroke,
Graphic Style and Appearance Attribute say that a member path of a
compound path selected first compares as its compound path, except in
isolation mode inside that compound path.
