Ka with a nukta and the vowel sign I is shaped as one cluster: the vowel
sign's glyph, then the ligature of Ka and the nukta. The ligature is
neither Ka's default glyph nor an alternate, so the lookup found no
glyph for Ka: text.glyphAlternates reported the vowel sign's glyph and
text.setGlyphAlternate reported Ka's default glyph. When the cluster
holds neither, the lookup now takes the first glyph that is not drawn
for another character of the grapheme.
text.glyphAlternates reported the first glyph of the character's
cluster as the chosen glyph. A vowel sign drawn before its consonant
(Devanagari Ka with the vowel sign I) comes first in that cluster, so
the query reported the vowel sign's glyph for Ka, while
text.setGlyphAlternate reported Ka's own glyph. Both commands now take
the character's glyph by the same rule, and so does the check in
text.setGlyphAlternate that the chosen glyph is drawn.
A character that overflows its area is shaped with its grapheme, and
each character of the grapheme now keeps its own style there, so a
nukta of another size no longer makes a ligature with its consonant
that the laid-out text does not draw. A test font with a Devanagari
nukta ligature checks both.
Paint and effect edits matched the active row across all selected
objects at once, so one object without an equal row made every object
edit the row at the raw index. ItemTarget::per_target and
effect_targets now match each object against the first one on its own,
as items_per_target does. effect_targets also looks up the row in the
stack it belongs to when deciding whether an effect edit is
object-level, so an effect on a row that sits lower in another object's
stack no longer fails with "no appearance item".
The `method` text of `paint.editGradient` and two passages of
docs/mcp.md said a CMYK document writes RGB and Lab gradient stops in
CMYK. An export that converts colors to an RGB destination profile
converts them to that profile first, so in a CMYK document they stay
RGB and a Perceptual spot gradient with such stops is written as an
image with the spot warning. The texts now say so, and the test of RGB
stops in a CMYK document also checks the RGB destination case.
The link-watch worker now signals a condition variable when it ends,
whether it stored its stamps or unwound, and Session::wait_link_scan
blocks until then. The place tests' idle helper waits on it once per look
in place of a 5 ms sleep under a 20 s wall-clock bound, and the engine's
link-watch and link-path tests wait on it in place of spinning under a
10 s bound. The link-watch tests date a rewritten file 2 s after the one
it replaces instead of sleeping 30 ms before writing it.
text.setGlyphAlternate looked for the character's glyph only in a
cluster as long as the character. A character followed by a combining
mark is shaped in one cluster with the mark, so the lookup found
nothing: under a substituting feature such as salt, `gid: null`
reported the default glyph instead of the one drawn, and a request for
the default glyph changed nothing.
The lookup now also takes a cluster that holds the character's
grapheme, and in a cluster of several glyphs takes the character's
default glyph or one of its alternates. Text that overflows its area
is shaped with the whole grapheme.
The method help of paint.editGradient and docs/mcp.md said a Perceptual
gradient with spot stops becomes an image in PDF unless every other stop
is paper white, CMYK or gray. PDF export checks each stop's color as it is
written: a CMYK document, or an export that converts colors to a CMYK
destination profile, writes RGB and Lab stops in CMYK, so the gradient
becomes a DeviceN shading. Both texts now say so, and a test covers the
CMYK document and CMYK destination cases.
A spot swatch defined in RGB keeps its spot flag and its own plate when
the document changes to CMYK, and its definition converts like any other
swatch: a fill that uses it and a 40% tint stroke take the converted
color. The Lab spot test's comment now says it covers a Lab definition.
Follows #5442.
- text.setGlyphAlternate keeps the default glyph as a choice when a
feature of the character's style (salt, a stylistic set) draws another
glyph for it, so the default glyph is drawn. A character that is not
laid out (overflowing text) is shaped alone in its style to decide.
gid: null reports the glyph the style draws.
- The Glyphs panel's alternates grid shows the default glyph first when
the font does not list it, so a chosen alternate can be put back.
- A test for a chosen character that starts a longer grapheme (f with a
combining acute), which is not split from its mark.
- The alternates tests in the engine hold the shared font lock while
they add fonts to the global font database.
A `color` parameter shows a color button that opens the color picker in plug-in
dialogs and the Appearance panel's effect editor; its default and values may be
a color object or a hex string, and the plug-in gets a color object. A filter's
returned objects may set `guide` and `locked`; objects it locked or made guides
are left out of the selection after the run.

Select > Object > All on Same Layers took the layer of every selected
object, including one that select.set had kept while it is hidden or
locked, on a template layer, on a locked artboard, or outside the
isolated group. That object's layer then decided which art was
selected. The command now takes the layers only of the selected
objects that the Select commands could select. When the selection
holds no such object, it clears the selection.
appearance.addFill copies the active fill row only when the call has no
`ids`, no `id` and no `target: "contents"`; the params text now names
`id` too. appearance.addStroke gives the new stroke at least 1 pt, so a
0.5 pt top stroke gives a 1 pt stroke; the params text now says so.
Tests pin both: `id` alone leaves the active row alone and puts the new
fill on top, and Add New Stroke on a 0.5 pt stroke adds a 1 pt one.
A freeform gradient whose field has no points of its own takes its
colors from the stops, so spot-linked stops in it are written in
process colors too. The export now warns in that case, as it does for
the other gradients drawn as images.
A Copy of ruler guides alone left the system clipboard as it was, so the
next Paste took whatever another app had copied before instead of the
guides. The guides-only Copy now empties the system clipboard (on the
web, empty text through egui with Copy As SVG on), as any Copy replaces
what the clipboard held, and drops an earlier Copy's formats not written
yet. What another app copies afterwards still pastes.
Copying only ruler guides published an empty SVG and text to the system clipboard, replacing
what other apps put there. The clipboard now offers other apps nothing without art. Tests cover
two pastes adding guides of their own on the current layer (following its visibility) and the
SVG carrying no guides.
With anchors and ruler guides selected, Cut deletes the anchors and the
selected guides in one undo step (edit.clear's guides: true reaches the
anchor-deleting path).
Cut with objects and ruler guides selected now removes both, in one
undo step: edit.clear takes guides: true beside ids to delete the
selected guides with the objects it names.
Edit > Copy and Cut put the selected ruler guides on the clipboard,
with the selected objects or on their own. Pasting puts them on the
layer new art goes to, selected, in the same undo step: with objects
they move as the objects do; alone they keep their places, while Paste
in Place / in Front / in Back put them on the active artboard as they
lay on theirs, and Paste on All Artboards on every artboard.
text.areaOptions given for several area type frames (ids, or a selection of
several) copied the first frame's options onto all of them, so setting one
option (say the vertical alignment) also replaced the others' columns, gutter,
inset and fit. Each frame now takes only the options given over its own, and
fit resolves against each frame's own setting, so fitMinPercent alone changes
only frames that already shrink text to fit. Options that change nothing add
no undo step and keep redo.
#5139 (in 0.21.0) made a positive Twist angle turn clockwise, but
documents saved by earlier releases stored their angles with the other
sign and reopened twisted the other way.
The document version (FORMAT_VERSION) goes from 1 to 2. Opening a
version 1 document negates its Twist angles (in layers, opacity-mask
art, Shaper edits, symbols, graph designs, pattern swatches, graphic
styles and brush definitions), unless the file is of the current file
version and its generator is VectorCraft 0.21.0 or later. The document
opens and saves as version 2. A save for an older file version, which
only apps before 0.21.0 read, writes a version 1 document with the
angles negated back. Graphic style libraries (.vcstyles) go to version
2: a version 1 library's Twist angles are negated when it is read.
Readers do not check either version, so older builds open the new files
as before.
Add New Fill again copies only the active fill row's paint; Duplicate
Item copies a whole row. The params text of appearance.addFill and
appearance.addStroke now says the new fill or stroke takes the paint
(and for a stroke, the weight) of the row it starts from, and a test
pins the paint-only copy.
With a fill row active, Add New Fill copied only the row's paint and
reset its opacity, blend mode, visibility, overprint and effects. The
new row is now a copy of the whole active row, as the command's
description says.
text.setStyle and text.setRangeStyle collected the fonts for their
warning after Missing Glyph Protection had run. A character the new font
has no glyph for keeps its earlier font, and when that font was not
available the warning named it, although the command did not set it.
protect_missing_glyphs now returns the byte ranges that kept their font,
and both commands leave those ranges out of the warning's fonts.
Reduce to Basic Appearance and Add New Fill matched the Appearance
panel's active row only when every selected object had an equal row.
With three objects whose third had a different lower fill, the second
object lost the match too: Reduce kept its top fill instead of the
active one, and Add New Fill put the copy on top instead of above the
active row.
items_per_target now matches each object against the first one
separately, so an object keeps the match whenever it has an equal row.
layer.setProps, layer.new, layer.newSublayer and livePaint.gapOptions read
an 8-digit hex color such as #ff000080 as #ff0000 and set it without its
alpha. They now refuse it with the error a bad color already gets, and
change nothing. #rgba was already refused. #rrggbb, #rgb, a preset index
and a preset name are read as before.
The params text of select.same.symbolInstance, docs/mcp.md and
docs/target-app-parity.md now say that the object compared with can be
of any kind (a group member selected on its own, or an object that is
not a symbol instance, which leaves the selection empty), and that new
art on a locked artboard is not passed over while it stays selected.
A test covers the three cases.
Done (pattern editing), Stop Editing Opacity Mask and Exit Isolation
Mode end the Type tool's edit first, so point type a click placed and
left empty is discarded. While a Cmd/Ctrl press had lent a selection
tool, the Type tool was not the active tool, its edit was not ended,
and the empty point type was saved into the pattern tile or the mask.
The lent tool is now given back first. A drag the lent tool started is
kept as its own step, with its last position applied when Real-time
Drawing and Editing is off.
A layer nested in a group whose art was all locked counted for nothing,
so the group was hidden or locked with the layer inside it. The selected
layer now counts as selected itself.
While Lock Guides was on, a guide path that was locked itself, or sat in
a locked object, was not kept, so the group around it was hidden. Guide
paths inside locked objects are now kept too.
text.startList read a negative or fractional `at` as the end of the
text, so it could remove a typed list marker there and start a list.
The `start` and `end` of text.editRange, text.getRange,
text.setRangeStyle and the type shortcut commands given an `id` read
such values as the start or end of the text.
These now return "`at` must be a whole number" (naming the key) and
change nothing. Omitted or null keys keep their defaults, and 2.0 is
read as 2.
Object > Expand with Object on now turns each symbol instance in the
selection, including one in a selected group or in a placed document's
art, into its art, as Break Link to Symbol places it. It goes one level
deep: the instances in that art stay instances. The art keeps the
instance's id and place in the stacking order, and Expand stays one
undo step.
- Instances with effects stay instances, and Expand Appearance bakes
them as before. Instances with an effect on a fill or stroke,
instances in perspective, and those in blends, repeats and Intertwine
groups stay instances.
- The art keeps the instance's opacity mask, as Break Link gives it.
- A hidden or locked instance's art stays hidden or locked.
- A placed document in an instance's art is expanded too.
- When the instances' art would make more than 1,000,000 objects, they
stay instances, the limit Break Link uses.
- The Fill and Stroke options (object.expand.info, and the Expand
dialog) count the fills, strokes and gradients in the art of those
instances, with a dynamic instance's own changes applied. The info
reports under symbolArt which of them only that art holds, and the
dialog enables those options only while Object is on.
While the Type tool edits a frame of threaded text, Select All selects
the text of every frame of the story, highlighted in each frame. The
tool edits the first frame that holds text.
- Typing, Delete and Cut replace the whole story as one undo step
(`text.editRange` takes `clear`, the other frames whose text goes).
- Copy and Cut take the whole story (`text.getRange {id, story: true}`).
- Fills and strokes, `type.step`, `appearance.copyFrom`, the Character,
Paragraph, OpenType and text style panels, the Tabs panel's tab
stops, the font menus and the Justification dialog act on every
frame's text (`text.setRangeStyle {id, story: true}` styles them in
one edit).
- A caret move, a click or a word or paragraph selection ends it.
Select All in unthreaded type is unchanged.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Convert to Smooth or Corner on a blend whose spine came from Replace
Spine stored key anchors with the converted spine, so the spine's
points then moved onto the key centers. It now changes only the
spine's handles: the points stay where they are and the keys stay
spread along the spine. Direct Selection's spine conversion and the
other spine edits are unchanged.
Capture sweep-piece source attribution before endpoint pinning can move its
midpoint off the original outlines. Keep the existing lookup after pinning
when the original piece has no source.
Add planar coverage and native compound Make/Expand/undo regressions, and
document the existing front-most source-fill rule.
With a group isolated, a selected layer or group that holds the isolated
group is not selectable itself, so the type inside the isolated group was
never reached and the font Same commands returned "select a text object".
The walk now goes through such a layer or group to the type inside the
isolated group that can be selected.
A save as .ai or .ait (file.saveCopy, file.saveAs, document.save and
file.saveAsTemplate) set range to "all" before the file was written.
The one exception was a legacy .ai of version 7 given a range, which
its encoder checks. Every other save accepted an artboard, artboards or
range that names an artboard the document does not have (artboards: [5]
on a document of three artboards) and wrote every artboard.
document.export refuses the same value.
The save now refuses such a value with the export's error, under the
name of the command that was run, and writes no file. A range that is
not text, such as range: 42, was also replaced by "all". The save now
leaves it for the encoder, which refuses it as an export does. An
artboard the document has, or an empty artboards list, is still saved
with every artboard, and a legacy .ai still writes the artboards of its
range.
Select > Same > Fill Color, Stroke Color, Fill & Stroke, Stroke Weight,
Opacity, Blending Mode, Appearance, Shape, Graphic Style and Appearance
Attribute compared the other objects with the first selected object,
even when select.set had put a hidden or locked object, one on a
template layer or one outside the isolated group first. They now take
the first selected object that the Select commands could select, in
selection order, and keep the compound path and isolation rules for it.
A selection that holds no such object returns "nothing selected".
A layer that was selected (for example with select.set) gave no reference to
Select > Same > Font Family, Font Family & Style, Font Family, Style & Size,
Font Size and the text fill and stroke color commands: the layer itself is
not selectable, so the type on it was never reached and the command returned
"select a text object". A selected layer or sublayer now gives the type on it
that can be selected. A hidden, locked or template layer gives none.
Break Link to Symbol dropped the instance's opacity mask. The art now
keeps it, or a group around the art holds it when the symbol's art has
a mask of its own. The objects in the instance's mask art count against
Break Link's limit of 1,000,000 objects.
The test moves from an inline module in cmd/textedit.rs to
tests/charstroke.rs and uses that file's helpers. docs/mcp.md says that
text.setRangeStyle gives a range's stroke a 1 pt weight as text.setStyle
does, and that its strokeWidth and strokeOptions lengths are in document
points.
