The canvas, the gradient chips and the SVG, PDF, EPS and EMF writers mixed
freeform points in display RGB, while Object > Expand and Create Gradient
Mesh mixed them in the model the points share. Points that are all CMYK,
Gray, Lab or RGB now mix in that model in those places too. Points in
different models mix as before: in display RGB, and on ink planes as the
inks of each point.
This changes how existing art looks:
- CMYK and Lab points. With the default Generic CMYK working space and no
ink planes, halfway between C100 and K100 the canvas drew (17, 106, 139)
and now draws (54, 118, 143).
- RGB points in a working RGB space other than sRGB mix in that space.
- On ink planes (a CMYK document that shows transparency), RGB and Lab
points mix first and then separate.
Gray mixes keep their values, and CMYK and Gray points on ink planes draw
as before. RGB points in an sRGB working space draw as before except on
ink planes.
- PDF and EPS write a gradient whose points are all CMYK, or all Gray in a
CMYK file, as a CMYK image. PDF's Output settings convert it as they
convert any CMYK image.
- Darkening applies to the points before they mix.
- With Appearance of Black set to Rich, the canvas mixes a gradient with a
pure CMYK black point in display RGB, and the point fades from RGB black.
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.
File › Open imports .vccomposite files as composite fonts, so an importer
listing that extension no longer shows it under its own filter or in
document.formats. File › Open gets a Composite fonts filter.
document.open refuses dataBase64 that decodes past the importer input
limit before decoding it. A file whose start shows a built-in format
still opens as that format, as it does by path.
A path whose live effect paints its pieces was measured with the
flattened output and the source appearance's strokes, so a piece with a
wider stroke of its own could be culled while the stroke was on screen,
and Rasterize and raster effects worked over bounds that were too small.
visual_bounds and shape_bounds now measure the art reshape returns, each
piece with its own appearance, and a raster effect on a fill or stroke
spreads that art.
