File › Place set every justified paragraph (`\qj`) of an RTF file as
Justify with last line aligned left, so a right-to-left paragraph
(`\rtlpar`) ended its last line on the left. Such a paragraph now
places as Justify with last line aligned right, in either order of the
two control words. `\qj` in a left-to-right paragraph still places as
Justify with last line aligned left, and `\ql`, `\qr`, `\qc` and `\qd`
keep their alignments in both directions.
With crop "bounding", file.place measured the placed art by each
object's visual bounds, which include the hidden members of a group.
A group holding a 40 pt square and a hidden 170 x 42 pt rectangle was
measured as 251 x 123 pt: at, rect, the place cursor and
file.place.info all used that box. A group whose only part on the page
or artboard was a hidden member was also placed, and symbol instances
were measured as a 20 pt square.
The art's box now follows the rule exports use
(vectorcraft_render::encode::drawn_bounds, made public): hidden
objects, guides and template layers do not count; the reach of effects
such as a drop shadow now counts; symbol instances are measured by
their art. The same rule picks the objects on the page or artboard.
Hidden objects on the page or artboard are still placed, and stay
hidden. Replace and the width and height that file.place answers also
measure symbol instances by their art.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Place), docs/target-app-parity.md.
When a drop shadow or an outer glow follows Effect › Rasterize, the
renderer makes the Rasterize image on the first draw and keeps it for
the shadow and the content, which draw it again. The kept image held no
count of the images that failed to decode while it was made. With a
blur or a filter after the shadow, the content's raster was made from
the kept image and recorded no failure, so a renderer that drew the
object again took the shadow and the content from its caches and
counted nothing. Pattern tiles are drawn by a renderer that keeps these
rasters across exports: a tile drawn again with the same art, for
example after Pattern Options changes the overlap, gave an export
without the "couldn't be decoded" warning although the picture lacked
the image.
The kept Rasterize image now stores how many decodes failed while it
was made, and each draw from it adds that number to the count again, as
kept effect rasters and pattern tiles do.
When the PDF writer keeps a PNG, GIF or WebP image as it is, it accepts
the image once its header reads, and it reports pixel data that it
can't decode only when it finishes the file. An image whose pixel data
was cut short or damaged therefore failed the whole export with "PDF
writer error: Image(...)", and nothing was written. This happened in
Save as PDF, .ai saves, Save a Copy, Print, Export for Screens and
native files with PDF compatibility, and with On Copy: PDF turned on,
Copy left the PDF off the clipboard.
When the writer fails on an image's pixel data, the export now runs
again with that image left out. Its warnings hold the note that raster
exports give, once: "an image couldn't be decoded and is missing from
the picture". This note replaces the writer's "image '<key>' could not
be decoded and was skipped", which named the image by an internal key.
An export without such an image runs once, as before. A .ai file keeps
the image in its editing data and reopens with it.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (PDF options).
A version 7 .ai wrote each image's matrix as [a b c d tx ty] and its
samples on comment lines of 64 hex digits. The Adobe Illustrator File
Format Specification version 7.0, which the writer follows, writes the
matrix with a space inside each bracket in the XI syntax (section 8.1)
and in all five examples (section 8.4), and every example data line
holds 60 hex digits. #2692 reports that the reference app leaves out an
image inside a clipping group, and all the art after it, in the files
written from the reporter's two SVGs.
The writer now writes [ a b c d tx ty ] and data lines of 60 hex digits
(the last holds the rest), for every image it writes. VectorCraft's
reader and the file's PostScript prolog read both forms. The result was
not checked in the reference app.
The version 7 .ai writer wrote a radial gradient's highlight (Bh) only
when the gradient had a focal point off its center. A centered radial
gradient, such as an SVG radialGradient without fx and fy, was written
Bb, Bg, f, BB with no Bh. Every radial instance in the Adobe Illustrator File
Format Specification version 7.0, which the writer follows, has one,
0 0 0 0 Bh for a centered highlight (sections 3.5.5, 3.5.6 and 9.3).
#2687 reports that the reference app draws such a circle in its outer
color.
The writer now writes Bh in every radial instance, 0 0 0 0 Bh at the
center. A focal point past the radius, which an elliptical gradient
written circular can have, is written on the circle, so its x and y
offsets agree with the fraction 1 written after them (section 3.5.5).
Linear instances are unchanged. The result was not checked in the
reference app.
Saving a version 7 .ai expands raster effects into images and flattens
images with see-through pixels, opacity or a blending mode, and both
draw the art with the renderer. An image the renderer couldn't decode
drew nothing, so it was missing from the result, and the reply carried
no note. A semi-transparent image cut short was removed without one.
The save now compares decode_failures() before and after it writes the
artboards, as Expand Appearance and the raster exports do, and adds
"an image couldn't be decoded and is missing from the picture" to its
warnings once.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (aiVersion "7").
A PDF-compatible .ai, or a PDF saved with the editing data, whose
editing data can't be decompressed (damaged zlib or Zstandard data, or
data that decompresses to more than 256 MB) opened from its PDF part
with no note about its layers. layered_ai returned on the
decompression error without a note. Data that decompresses to layers
that can't be read gets one, and so does an EPS.
layered_ai now gives the same note with the decompression error as
its reason: "the file's layers weren't read from its editing data (its
zlib compression is damaged): they come from its PDF part". The note
counts as a loss, so document.export or Save As over a PDF saved with
the editing data asks first (acknowledgeLoss), as it already did for
a .ai. The three reasons have rows in the 17 catalogs that translate
every message.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
The layers of PDF and PDF-compatible .ai files come from their
optional content groups, whose /Name is a PDF text string. The import
read a name without a byte order mark as Latin-1. Such a string is
PDFDocEncoding (ISO 32000-1 Annex D, Table D.2), which differs from
Latin-1 at 0x18 to 0x1F and 0x80 to 0xA0. A group named
(Art\205final) opened as a layer named "Art", U+0085, "final" instead
of "Art–final", and curly double quotes (0x8D, 0x8E) and the euro sign
(0xA0) became control characters and a no-break space.
text_string now reads such a string with the PDFDocEncoding table that
File Info already used for the document information dictionary. The
table moves from file_info.rs to import_scan.rs, and File Info reads
the information dictionary's strings with text_string.
When a PDF, PDF-compatible .ai or .ait opens, crates/pdf/src/file_info.rs
reads its File Info from the XMP packet with roxmltree, which parses
nested elements recursively and has no limit on their depth. A packet
with elements nested 10,000 deep (70 KB) overflowed a 1 MB stack, and
one nested 100,000 deep (700 KB) overflowed an 8 MB stack. A stack
overflow aborts the app.
File Info now counts how deep the packet's elements nest before roxmltree
parses it, and leaves out a packet nested more than 256 deep, as it
leaves out a packet that is not XML. The document information
dictionary then gives the File Info.
document.exportForWeb renders the artboard or the art and writes GIF,
JPEG, PNG-8 or PNG-24 files. When the art held an image that the
renderer could not decode, the renderer drew nothing for it, and the
files lacked the image with no message: the reply had no warnings at
all. A raster export of the same art warns that "an image couldn't be
decoded and is missing from the picture".
document.exportForWeb and document.exportForWeb.preview now compare
decode_failures before and after they render, as raster exports do,
and their replies carry that text in `warnings`. The files are still
written. Save, Download and Preview in Browser in the Save for Web
dialog show the first warning in the status bar as Save As shows a
save's notes.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Save for Web), docs/control-protocol.md.
charStyle.new and paraStyle.new kept the name they were given as it
was, while charStyle.rename and paraStyle.rename trim the white space
around the new name. So a script could make a style " Body" beside
"Body", and a blank name was refused with the message for a name that
is taken.
New Character Style and New Paragraph Style now trim the name as rename
does, compare the trimmed name with the styles there are, and refuse a
name that is then empty with rename's message. Duplicate names the copy
from the trimmed name. symbol.new and symbol.duplicate trim the name as
symbol.options trims newName, and a blank newName gives "<name> copy"
instead of a symbol named with the blank. library.use adds a library's
text style under its trimmed name, so a library file whose style is
named with spaces around it still applies.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
brush.new, brush.duplicate, object.pattern.make,
object.pattern.saveCopy, artboard.new and artboard.setProps kept the
name they were given as it was, and brush.options and pattern.options
kept the white space around a new name. So a script could make a brush
" Nib" beside "Nib", and a blank name made a brush, a pattern or an
artboard named with the blank. Artboard Options sends its Name field
as typed, so clearing it named the artboard "". The Brush Options
dialog, the Pattern Options panel and the Artboards panel trim the
names they send.
The eight commands now trim the name, and the brush and pattern
commands compare the trimmed name with the names there are. In
brush.new, brush.duplicate, object.pattern.make,
object.pattern.saveCopy and artboard.new, a blank name gives the name
the command gives when there is none: "New Calligraphic Brush" and the
other default brush names, "<name> copy", "New Pattern N",
"<pattern> copy" and "Artboard N". brush.options and pattern.options
keep the name when the new one is blank, and artboard.setProps gives a
blank one the artboard's default name, Artboard N for the Nth
artboard. Duplicate Brush and Save a Copy name the copy of a brush or
pattern whose saved name has white space around it from the trimmed
name (" Old " gives "Old copy").

A bounding-box handle dragged with the Selection or Free Transform tool
snapped only with Smart Guides on, and then only to the other objects
and the artboards. View > Snap to Grid, Snap to Pixel, Snap to Point
with Smart Guides off and the ruler guides did not move it, while a
move snaps to all of them.
The corner or side a handle moves now snaps as a dragged point does.
With Snap to Grid on it lines up with the nearest gridline, and with
Snap to Pixel on it lines up with whole pixels. With Smart Guides off,
Snap to Point lands it on the other objects' anchors and on ruler
guides within its distance. With Smart Guides and Snap to Point both
on, it lines up with the ruler guides as well as with the other
objects. Shift still keeps the proportions. Without Alt the opposite
side stays put, and with Alt the box still scales about its center.

On a Wayland session a drawing tablet's pen could not draw or click:
winit 0.30 does not bind the Wayland tablet protocol, and neither KWin
(since Plasma 6.3) nor GNOME's Mutter turns tablet input into pointer
input. Linux Display Server's X11 (XWayland) choice let the pen work as
a mouse, but it opened the window through XWayland on every start, also
without a tablet.
Linux Display Server has a third choice, X11 (XWayland) When a Pen Is
Attached (x11WithPen). It opens the window through XWayland on a
Wayland session only when /proc/bus/input/devices lists a pen as the
app starts: a device with the BTN_TOOL_PEN key and the ABS_X and ABS_Y
axes, the check PhotoCraft's tablet.rs makes. Automatic stays the
default. On Linux the Performance page shows a note for tablet pens
that don't draw.
README.md named KDE alone; the KWin commit's message says Mutter does
not emulate tablet events either, so README.md and docs/development.md
now name GNOME. The Pen pressure row of docs/hardware-parity.md said
Linux has pressure through XWayland; winit 0.30 reports none on X11
either.

dataset.import refused every header cell that wasn't the name of a
variable the document defines. A data source file could only fill
variables made beforehand, and `#` and `@` in a header were read as part
of a variable's name.
A header cell that names no variable now defines a new, unbound
variable in the import's undo step. `#Shown` defines a visibility
variable `Shown`, `@Photo` defines an image variable `Photo`, and a
cell without a prefix defines a text variable. A prefixed cell whose
name is already a variable of the prefix's kind names it. A cell that
is a variable's exact name keeps naming it, even when the name starts
with `#`, `@` or `%`, so files that dataset.export writes import back
as before. The import fails, naming the column, on a prefixed cell
whose name is a variable of another kind and on a `%` cell that names
no variable (graph data files). While the variables are locked, a
header that would define a variable fails the import with "variables
are locked", as New Variable does. The reply's `defined` lists the new
variables.

Save for Office Documents, the pictures that css.export rasterizes and
the PNG and PDF that Copy offers other apps were encoded with
fileio::encode, which drops the encoder's warnings. When the art held
an image that the renderer could not decode, the PNGs lacked it; type
in a font that is not installed came out in the fallback font in the
Office PNG and Copy's PNG and PDF. No reply or status message said so.
The app also dropped the warnings that document.exportSelection
returns.
document.exportForOffice, clipboard.exportPng and clipboard.exportPdf
now return `warnings`, and css.export adds the notes of its pictures to
its `warnings`, each once. Save for Office Documents and
document.exportSelection show the first note in the status bar in Save
As's message, and the CSS Properties panel's Export Selected CSS… and
Export All… show it in Export As's message. After Copy or Cut, once
the PNG and PDF are on the system clipboard, the status bar shows their
first note. The files are written as before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Clipboard, CSS Properties), docs/control-protocol.md.
Export for Screens wrote each file with fileio::encode, which drops the
encoder's warnings, and its replies had no `warnings` key. When the art
held an image that the renderer could not decode, or type in a font
that is not installed, the files lacked the image or used the fallback
font, and neither the reply nor the status bar said so. document.export
returns the same notes in `warnings`, and Export As shows the first in
the status bar.
document.exportForScreens and assets.export now collect the warnings of
every file they export, each once, and every reply carries them in
`warnings`. The export still writes or returns every file. When there
are warnings, the Export for Screens dialog and the Asset Export panel
show the first in the status bar as Save As shows a save's notes.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Export for Screens), docs/control-protocol.md.
Export for Screens, Batch over data sets, Save for Web and the
Libraries panel name files after text the person typed: a prefix, a
suffix, a name pattern, the name of an artboard, asset, layer, slice,
data set or library, or the document's title. The prefix, the suffix,
name patterns and Batch's data set names had only /, \ and : replaced,
so on Windows a name holding <, >, ", |, ?, * or a control character
failed to save, and Save for Web without a path named its files after
the document's title as it was. A row folder name could end in a
period, which Windows does not allow, and names such as CON, NUL, COM1
or LPT1, which Windows reserves for devices, were written as they
were.
file_part, which Export for Screens' prefix and suffix and Batch's
data set names use, now writes all of those characters as -, and name
patterns use it in place of their own copy. A new safe_file_name runs
a whole file or folder name through file_part, removes trailing
periods and spaces, and adds - after a device name that is the whole
name or comes before its first period (CON.png becomes CON-.png).
Export for Screens uses it for each file, folder and zip it names, and
keeps item names distinct after it. Save for Web uses it for slice
images and, without a path, for files named after the title. Library
files use it too. This happens on every platform. Other names are
written as before, except where a changed name now equals another
item's name, which then gets a number added.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
With Override Save or Override Export on, action.batch named each
step's file in the destination folder with the step's format exactly as
written. The save and export commands read the format in any case and
with a leading dot, so a step with "format": ".svg" wrote
"Untitled_a..svg", "SVG" wrote ".SVG", "png8" wrote ".png8" and
"template" wrote ".template".
The file now ends in the format's extension: the extension as written,
in lower case and without the dot, when it is one of the format's
(".JPEG" gives ".jpeg"), and otherwise the format's first extension, the
one Export and Save use for a file name ("png8" gives ".png", "template"
gives ".vctemplate"). An unknown format ("xyz") keeps its spelling, and
the step fails with the command's error as before.
Docs: docs/mcp.md, docs/target-app-parity.md.
Renaming a saved PDF preset (pdf.preset.save with newName) removed
the old file from the PDF Presets folder before it wrote the new one.
When that write failed, for example on a full disk, the folder held no
file for the preset, and the preset was gone at the next start.
The store now writes the new file first and removes the old one only
when that write succeeded. A failed write leaves the preset in the
folder under its old name. A rename that changes only the case of the
name writes the old file and then renames it, and the old file gets
its content back when the rename fails. The command still succeeds
when the folder can't be written, and the failure is logged, as
before.
File > Place could not place a Word document: a .docx file was "not a
format VectorCraft reads". The reference app's File > Place reads
Microsoft Word files as text.
File > Place now reads .docx files, written from ECMA-376 Part 1
(WordprocessingML, Transitional and Strict), and sets their text as
area type the way a text or RTF file is placed. The package is read
through its relationships. The formatting comes from the document
defaults, the paragraph style (else the default paragraph style), the
character style (else the default character style), the styles each
is based on, and direct formatting. Bold, italic, caps, small caps,
strikethrough and hidden text are toggle properties: a style that
turns one on reverses the state the styles before it give.
Each run keeps its font (theme fonts from the theme part), size, bold
and italic, underline, strikethrough, all caps, small caps,
superscript or subscript (in Document Setup's proportions), raised or
lowered text and color. Each paragraph keeps its alignment, start,
end, first-line and hanging indents, space before and after, and
direction; the start indent of a right-to-left paragraph is its right
indent. Table cells are separated by tabs and each table row is a
paragraph. Text in insertions, hyperlinks, content controls and
fields' results is read. Hidden and deleted text, field instructions,
pictures, text boxes, headers, footers, notes and list numbers are
left out.
A ZIP archive named .docx, or one that holds word/document.xml, is
read as a Word document. fileio/zip.rs gains a reader for stored and
deflated files that checks each file's CRC. A package with more than
10,000 files, a part that unpacks to more than 16 MiB or nests
elements more than 256 deep, and a document with more than 4 MiB of
text or 100,000 paragraphs or runs are refused with an error. The
Place dialog lists Word files, and file.place, file.place.info and
file.place.queue report the format `docx`. .doc files are still not
read.
The Word document tests in tests_textimport.rs fail without the
change, and text_import_fuzz.rs places random and damaged packages.

1-bit TIFFs compressed with CCITT Group 3 did not open, place or
relink: the image decoder reads Group 4 only and refuses Compression 2
(modified Huffman) and Compression 3 (ITU-T T.4).
They are now decoded with hayro-ccitt, the CCITT decoder that EPS
import uses. Compression 2 rows start at a byte and have no EOL codes.
Compression 3 rows follow an EOL code and are one-dimensional, or, with
T4Options bit 0, one- or two-dimensional as each row's tag bit says.
Fill bits, FillOrder 2, either PhotometricInterpretation, strips and
tiles are read.
A file whose pixels would take more than the decoding allowance as
RGBA is refused as too large to draw. A strip or tile whose data ends
before its last row is refused as damaged, and so is a tile larger
than the allowance. The strips and tiles together are read from at
most as many bytes as the file holds.

A Shaper Group keeps its original shapes as a transparent first child.
Clicks skip them outside Construction mode, but a marquee did not: one
drawn over the outline of an original shape whose face the group had
erased selected the group, where nothing is shown. Group Selection's E
marquee selected an original shape that lay inside it, and Direct
Selection's marquee and clicks selected the anchor points of the
original shapes.
The marquee now skips a Shaper Group's original shapes with the same
check clicks use, which moves into shaper_hides, and Direct Selection's
walk over the art it can pick skips them too. In Construction mode, with
the original shapes isolated, the marquee still selects them and Direct
Selection still selects their anchor points.

Optical Margin Alignment was stored and set per text object, so the
frames of one thread could differ. Turning it on in the first frame of
a thread left the lines in the other frames flush with their margins.
Type › Optical Margin Alignment and type.opticalMarginAlignment now set
every frame of a selected frame's thread, in one undo step, and the
reply's ids list them all. After any edit to a thread, its frames take
the setting of the frame that the edit turned on or off, else the
first frame's. Threading frames gives the thread its first frame's
setting, and frames taken out of a thread keep it. A file whose frames
of one thread differ opens with the first frame's setting in all of
them. This holds for native files and for documents restored from the
editing copy that an EPS, SVG, PDF or .ai file carries.
Threading text from an out port into existing area type
(text.thread.add with to) now flows the story into that frame at once.
Before, the story reached it only at the next edit of one of the
thread's frames.

A .vectorcraft file's type opened with the character and paragraph
values it held. With a size of 0, the characters were not drawn. With
a size, leading, horizontal scale, left indent or space before of
1.797e308, point type's bounds were infinite or over 1e308 wide or
high, and moving or scaling it failed with "result would exceed the
canvas".
These values are now read into range when a file opens, in the type of
the layers, symbols, graph designs, patterns and the pattern definition
that Cancel puts back in pattern editing mode, and in character and
paragraph styles. A size, horizontal scale or vertical scale of 0 or
less becomes 12 pt or 100%, and a negative leading becomes Auto. A
size, leading or scale past 4,000,000 (MAX_COORD) becomes 4,000,000,
and a baseline shift, indent or space before or after past 4,000,000
either way becomes 4,000,000 or -4,000,000. A tab stop is kept to the
0 to 100,000 pt that text.tabs.set takes. A leading of 0, which legacy
.ai import stores, and the sizes, scales and indents within these
limits that SVG, PDF and .ai import keep outside the panels' ranges
open as saved.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Paragraph attributes per paragraph).
document.setup accepts a superscript and subscript size of 1 to 500%
and a position of -500 to 500%, and a small caps size of 1 to 200%.
text.setFormat copies these proportions into the characters it
formats. A .vectorcraft file's characters, character styles and graph
label styles opened with the proportions they held. With a superscript
size of 0, the superscript characters were not drawn, and with a
superscript or small caps size of 1.797e308, moving the type failed
with "result would exceed the canvas".
These proportions are now read as the nearer end of each range when a
file opens: in the type of the layers, symbols, graph designs, patterns
and the pattern definition that Cancel puts back in pattern editing
mode, in graph label styles and in character styles. Proportions in
range and the other character attributes open as saved.
Docs: docs/mcp.md (Small Caps, Superscript and Subscript).
Add opaque RGB light color and up to ten independently adjustable lights to
Revolve, Extrude & Bevel, Inflate and Rotate. Keep light selection, Add/Delete,
selected-light gizmos and preview transactions on the existing command path.
Preserve legacy white-light Inflate polygons, paint composition and seam joins,
including the 0.05 seam minimum. Use shared smooth normals for colored Inflate,
and batch solid-fill RGB channel paths behind one surface clip. Keep source
paths editable and SVG/PDF output vector artwork.
Rebase onto main f7de3d6a, retaining both sides of progress docs and all 22
catalogs. Shade freeform points once through the shared paint mapper. Document
release measurements and a reproducible CLI fixture, including the remaining
source-gradient cost and the one-light timing tradeoff.
Validation: full cargo xtask ci passed all 10 steps; 7,978 tests passed, zero
failed and 11 ignored. Four legacy white-light PNGs match unchanged main byte
for byte. Three paired release bench/perf repetitions completed without busy
warnings; all six standard perf runs passed every budget. Two-light solid
Inflate improved from 136.2 to 96.8 ms/frame at 1200x1200, default eight threads.
The Paragraph panel menu's Roman Hanging Punctuation was a disabled stub.
It is now a per-paragraph attribute: in a left-to-right paragraph of point
or area type with it on, the punctuation Optical Margin Alignment hangs
(quotation marks, hyphens, full stops and commas wholly; asterisks,
tildes, ellipses, en and em dashes, colons and semicolons by half) hangs
outside the margin when it starts or ends a line, on the same sides
(left-aligned lines at their left, right-aligned at their right, centered
and justified at both); letters don't hang. With Optical Margin Alignment
on as well, letters hang too. East Asian punctuation keeps hanging only
through burasagari. The layout shares Optical Margin Alignment's hanging
code, given the share of each glyph that hangs.
text.setFormat takes romanHangingPunctuation; it is off by default, saved
only when on, carried by paragraph styles (New and Redefine capture it)
and turned off by Reset Panel. The panel menu item is a checkbox enabled
with type selected.

path.reshapeSegment refused only a delta that was not finite. It moves
a segment's two handles by the delta divided by 3t(1-t), which is
0.1425 at t 0.05 or 0.95, so a finite delta above about 2.5e307 wrote
infinite handles into the path. object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment
refuses a delta of 1e9 pt or longer.
path.reshapeSegment now refuses a delta of 1e9 pt or longer, with its
"invalid delta" error. Two other path commands took a point with no
bound. path.convertAnchor with x, y at 1e308 put the two handles 2e308
apart, so the path's control box was infinitely wide, and path.freehand
through such points with keepSelected off fitted a path whose bounds
reached infinity. Both now refuse a point whose x or y is 1e9 pt or
more in size, with "x and y must be finite", the error
object.blend.spine.moveAnchor gives for the same bound.

VectorCraft listed a variable font's named instances as styles, but
type could not be set between or past them. The reference app's
Character panel has a Variable Font control that adjusts a variable
font's axes, such as Weight, Width and Slant.
Type now keeps Variable Font settings by axis tag
(CharStyle::font_axes, saved as fontAxes only when set). text.setFormat
and text.setRangeStyle take fontAxes: each value is clamped to its
axis's range, a tag the font has no axis for is left out, and null
goes back to the style's own setting. Another font or style clears
them, including one from a character style that does not set them. A
character style captured from type sets them, with {} for none.
text.fontList {family, style} lists a font's axes.
Layout, outlines, the substituted-glyph highlight and PDF export use
the font instanced at the settings, and neighboring runs at different
settings are shaped apart, as runs in different fonts are. SVG export
writes them as font-variation-settings, the wght setting as the weight
and the wdth setting as font-stretch, and embeds the font instanced
there; SVG import reads font-variation-settings back. Legacy .ai export
warns that the settings are left out.
The Character panel shows a Variable Font button for a variable font.
It opens a slider and a field for each axis the font does not hide,
labeled with the font's name for the axis, and screen readers get each
slider under that name. A drag is one undo step. Reset Panel leaves
the settings, as it leaves the font and style.
Missing Glyph Protection now keeps the settings and the font version
on the characters that keep their font; before, it kept only the
family and style. A character style applied or redefined with another
font now clears the old font's version, as text.setStyle does, unless
the style sets one. SVG export with embedded fonts warns when faces of
one weight, style and width share characters, which browsers then draw
in one of the faces.

The public documentation says Image Trace warns about images larger
than 1500 pixels on a side but traces them, only more slowly. VectorCraft
traced them silently, and refused any trace of more than 2,000,000
anchors, which a 4000 x 3000 photo at High Fidelity Photo nearly reaches
(1.9 million on a code-drawn photo) and a noisier one passes.
- imageTrace.make and makeAndExpand return `warnings`: one for an image
over 1500 px on a side (traced, but more slowly; a lower-fidelity
preset or a smaller copy is quicker), one for an image over 64 MP
that was traced from a scaled-down copy. The app shows the first in
the status bar.
- MAX_TRACE_ANCHORS is 8,000,000 natively (2,000,000 on wasm, where a
page has at most 4 GB). Measured through imageTrace.make on
code-drawn photos: about 90 bytes an anchor kept in the document;
7.9 million anchors kept 685 MB with an 876 MB peak (4000 x 3000,
Full Tone at Colors 100, Paths 100, Noise 1, 37 s).
- The refusal keeps its translated advice: raise Noise, lower Paths or
Colors, or pick a lower-fidelity preset.
Tests: a_large_image_traces_with_a_warning (1600 x 40 and 1500 x 8
code-drawn images, make and make-and-expand),
trace_warnings_name_a_large_or_scaled_down_image, a compile-time check
of the limit's range, and a UI test that the status bar shows the note.

Install Plug-in (plugin.install) now keeps the plug-in's module in a
Plug-ins folder next to the preferences, as Illustrator keeps plug-ins in
its Plug-ins folder, and the desktop app and vectorcraft-cli install the
ones there at startup (a module that doesn't load is skipped with a log
record, at most 512 MB are read). Remove Plug-in deletes it from the
folder. The Additional Plug-ins Folder preference is still loaded from
where it is. Confined MCP servers and VECTORCRAFT_NO_PREFS keep nothing,
as with the PDF preset and colour profile stores.

A click with the Group Selection tool on a compound path selects the path
under the pointer (its outline within the pick tolerance, else the innermost
path whose area holds the click), so the outer shape and each hole can be
selected on their own; Shift-click adds another, and a click on a selected
path adds the compound path, as a click on a group member climbs to its group.
A path selected this way is an object of its own for Move, Transform, Rotate
and the other transforms, as it already was inside an isolated compound path:
the hole of a ring moves without the ring. Paint and the other commands still
go to the compound path, which holds the paint.

Selecting other art drops Puppet Warp pins, ending Edit Text clears the
flat view, and a font scan lays type out again. None of these makes an
undo step or counts as an edit to save, but each one replaced the
document. A background save that finished afterwards compared the
document with the one it wrote by pointer, so the document stayed
marked modified. Data Recovery also wrote a new copy of a document whose
pins had been dropped.
DocState now records the documents that these changes replaced, and
DocState::same_content counts them as having the same content. The
modified flag, the end of a background save and Data Recovery use it.
After Edit Text ends, an undo state that was the saved one stays the
saved one.
Print and Print Preview name the area type and type on a path that
prints without the text past the end of its frame (#2308). The exports
that draw type gave no such warning: a PDF, EPS, SVG, EMF, WMF or
raster export of a frame too small for its text answered with no
warning about it.
These exports now add the same warning, with "isn't drawn in the
export" in place of "doesn't print". Each export counts the visible
objects that it draws. Those are the objects on the pages or artboards
it writes, or all of them in an EPS of the visible art and in an SVG
without chosen artboards. A PDF leaves out layers that don't print
unless includeNonPrinting or createLayers is set. The objects are found
with the walk that fonts::printed_type runs for Print, and typecmd.rs
builds the message with the code that builds Print's. A .ai file keeps
the whole text in its editing data and gives no warning.

With View > Guides > Lock Guides on, Session::select drops the paths
made into guides from the selection (#1534), but commands that set the
selection another way skipped that filter and left a locked guide
selected, so the next move moved it. object.exitIsolation selected an
isolated guide path. Undo, Redo, a canceled undo group, a canceled
drag or dialog preview and a failed command.batch brought back locked
guide paths and ruler guides in the selection. Unlock All, Show All
and Paste selected the guide paths they unlocked, showed or pasted.
Locking the guides deselected them in the active document only.
The filter is now deselect_guides, which also clears the selected
ruler guides. Session::select and Session::edit run it while Lock
Guides is on, and so do object.exitIsolation, Undo, Redo,
Session::cancel_interaction, a canceled undo group and a failed batch.
Locking the guides deselects them in every open document. With Lock
Guides off, the selection is set as before.
