An Illustrator EPS is a flattened page plus, after %%EOF, an editing copy of
the document; a PDF-compatible .ai carries the same in its private data.
Importing only the page lost layer names, order, visibility, hidden layers
and hidden objects and hidden text.
- eps: read the editing copy (Zstandard %AI24_DataStream, older zlib
%AI9_DataStream) into layers, sublayers, groups, compound paths, clip
groups and hidden objects, run by the existing PostScript interpreter.
Falls back to the page, with a warning, when a shown layer uses an
operator that isn't read or the art differs from the page by over 5%.
- eps: read the text document (ate.rs) to place type on hidden layers and
objects; the page's type is matched to the file's text objects by
position (pieces of a line included) and kept with the nearest one when
none claims it. Area type and type on a path are left out with a note.
- pdf/engine: .ai files go through the same reader.
- engine/cli: a file whose import left things out isn't overwritten unless
asked (acknowledgeLoss, --replace-lossy).
- eps: font names re-encoded with a *<n> suffix resolve to their family.
- i18n: es/it/ru for the new import messages; ROADMAP updated.
Container and text-document formats were inferred from user-owned files; the
Adobe file format specification was not read.

A PDF or PDF-compatible .ai whose ToUnicode map gives some glyphs U+FFFD (as
some files do for the digits of an embedded CID font) imported those glyphs as
type showing the replacement character, so every digit came in as "�".
U+FFFD now counts as no mapping. Such a glyph takes its character from the
embedded font where it can (Adobe's CID tables for CID-keyed CFF, as before,
then the font program's own cmap), and otherwise keeps its outline from the
embedded font, so it looks as the file draws it. The import warns which font
had characters the file doesn't name.

New from Template... and Save as Template opened their dialog in
~/Documents/VectorCraft Templates. On desktops whose documents folder has
another name (Italian ~/Documenti) or where the folder was never made, the
dialog started in a folder that doesn't exist and showed an error.
- The default Templates folder is now in the user's documents folder: on Linux
and the BSDs the one XDG_DOCUMENTS_DIR names in user-dirs.dirs, elsewhere
~/Documents.
- The folder a dialog starts in is made when missing; where it can't be, the
dialog starts in the nearest folder above it that exists, else home.

A program that re-encodes a font in an EPS sets the copy under a name with a
`*<n>` suffix (`KBKNNM+RollerBabyBV*1`). The suffix was part of the family
name, so the installed font was never found and text fell back to a
substitute. The suffix is dropped when `*` is followed only by digits.

The rotate cursor drew an arc with a large triangle under each end, both
pointing straight down and away from the arc, so it didn't read as an arrow.
Each end now has a slim arrowhead pointing on along the arc's tangent, with
the same halo as the other cursors.

The Transform fields were sized from the row's room, the rotation field was
70 pt, the corner radius 80, Opacity 64, the stroke weight 90 and Keyboard
Increment 80, so the fields didn't line up. One `panels::field_width`, the
Transform fields' width measured from the full row, now sizes all of them (and
the Edit Artboards fields, and the Transform panel's corner radius).

Opening a PDF-compatible .ai (or a PDF saved with Preserve Editing) that has more than one
page showed the Import PDF dialog and imported pages, although the file carries its
VectorCraft document. Opening now restores that document (every artboard and layer) without
asking, as the engine already does when no pages are picked. Placing still asks for the page.

The Shaper fits a hexagon's rotation by scoring 0, 90, 180 and 270
degrees, but a hexagon at 180 is the one at 0 (and 270 the one at 90):
those pairs score the same up to rounding, so the platform's atan2 picked
between them. FreeBSD's libm gave 270 where Linux gives 90, failing
tilted_rectangles_ellipses_and_hexagons_snap_to_their_angle_steps on the
FreeBSD build+test job. Candidates a whole number of periods from an
earlier one are now dropped. A new test reproduces the flip on Linux
with the old code (180 instead of 0 at tilt -9).

- A press with a selection tool inside an artboard makes it the active one, as
the Artboard tool's does; before, only the navigator and the Artboards panel
changed it.
- Paste in Place, in Front and in Back take `artboard` (the UI passes the active
one): the objects go where they were on the artboard they were copied from,
on that artboard. Without it, they paste where they were, as before.

Document tabs drew their close box before the title on every platform, the

- artboard.rearrange takes layout (gridByRow, gridByColumn, row, column;
byColumn stays as an alias of gridByColumn) and order (leftToRight,
rightToLeft); Columns is the row count of a grid by column and is
ignored by row and column. It returns {artboards, rows, columns}.
- A Rearrange All Artboards dialog: Layout and Layout Order toggles drawn
in code (widgets::layout_button, previewing the order), Columns/Rows,
Spacing, Move Artwork with Artboard and the artboard count.
- One click: Rearrange All in the Properties panel (Document section with
several artboards, Edit Artboards' Quick Actions); the Artboards panel's
Rearrange button and menu item now open the dialog too.
- Tests for every layout x order (artboards, art riding along, one undo
step), the dialog, the Properties button; the command sweep covers the
new params. Translations for ja, es, it, ru, fr, zh-hans, zh-hant and
pt-br; ROADMAP updated.

The crate README now spells out the provenance the review on
storytold/vectorcraft#667 asks the owner to decide on: no Affinity
software; afread's MIT description re-described without translating
code; every structure confirmed on public files (CRC-32 per entry,
self-typed fields); semantics fitted to Affinity's own thumbnails; how
the sample documents were licensed; read-only.

VectorCraft found fonts only in the system's font folders (and, on Windows,
those font services activate). A new preference names one more folder, read
with its subfolders after the platform's: its fonts are listed in the font
menus and used as if installed, without installing them.
- vectorcraft_text::set_user_font_dirs / user_font_dirs: folders
system_font_dirs adds to every scan (none on wasm).
- prefs fontsFolder (Type > Options > Additional Fonts Folder), trimmed; when
it changes after the first scan, the fonts are scanned again at once, so the
folder's fonts appear (or go) and type in them lays out again.
- The label is translated where Additional Plug-ins Folder is.

#677 lets one image decode take up to 2 GB, so large print sheets open on the
desktop. wasm32 can address only 4 GB and aborts when an allocation fails, so
the web app keeps the decoder's default 512 MB and reports larger images as an
error instead.

With the Artboard tool, the Properties panel showed the active artboard's name,
position and size but no quick way to turn it between portrait and landscape.
It now has a row with:
- Preset: New Document's saved and built-in presets, by category, matched in
either orientation (Custom when none matches); choosing one sizes the
artboard in its current orientation;
- Portrait and Landscape (the New Document toggle): the other one swaps the
artboard's width and height.
The artboard's top-left corner stays put, so no art moves with it.

A value takes about 40 bytes in memory however few it took in the file,
and a bool array packs eight in a byte, so a small, highly compressed
doc.dat could declare billions of values and make the import abort on
allocation (review on storytold/vectorcraft#667). The parser now counts
fields and array elements against a 2^24 budget before allocating, and
reserves array storage fallibly, returning Error::Limit either way.
The largest of 333 public documents decodes 3.3 million values.

object.cropImage {trim: true} cuts the selected image to the box of its pixels
with any alpha, copying them as they are (no re-render, no resampling) and
placing them where they were. An image with nothing to cut is left as it is
and isn't an error (trimmed: false), so a script can trim every image it
opens. Print-ready PNGs usually carry transparent padding; with this, Fit to
Artwork Bounds can size to the art.

A selection moved with the Selection or Direct Selection tool that lines
up with nothing along an axis lands as far from its neighbour as two
other objects of its row (or column) are apart, or halfway between its
two neighbours, within the snapping tolerance; the equal gaps are marked
with a line and end ticks in the Smart Guides colour. The objects are
taken as wholes on their layers (groups too), and inside a group holding
the selection, its other objects. Off, moves only line up as before.

CMYK went to RGB through display sRGB: CMYK -> sRGB (clamped) -> working RGB.
Into a wider space (Wide Gamut RGB, the 1998 primaries) that clipped every
colour sRGB can't hold - CMYK cyan's red channel landed at 99 instead of 0 -
and the black-point compensation setting had no effect (moxcms leaves it
unimplemented). An ICC CMYK profile now converts directly into the RGB
profile: into its primaries with linear curves, where compensation is a
linear remap from the profile's black (found by sending black through the
profile and reading it back), then onto its own curves. The canvas uses the
same conversion into sRGB, so what shows is what an RGB export writes.
Checked against Ghostscript with the same profiles (relative colorimetric,
compensation on and off): exports into Wide Gamut RGB and the sRGB display
agree within 1 level in 255. The built-in CMYK spaces are unchanged (Generic
CMYK compensates in its own model).

A CMYK image with an /SMask, /Mask or colour key was handed to the
interpreter and stored as an RGB PNG, converted with hayro's own bundled
profile (Perceptual) rather than the working CMYK, so it showed 10-30 levels
lighter than other CMYK images and lost its ink amounts. It now keeps its
inks as other CMYK images do (#320), and its alpha becomes a greyscale
opacity mask. PDF export already writes that as a DeviceCMYK image under a
soft mask, so a round trip keeps the inks.

The image decoder can't read a CMYK TIFF with an alpha channel at all
("color type Unknown(0)"); it is now read with the tiff crate, associated
alpha divided back out and the inks converted in the active colour settings.
And a 60 in sheet at 300 ppi (18000 x 6600 px) hit the decoder's 512 MB
default allocation limit; up to 2 GB is now allowed.

An image opened as a document took 1 px = 1 pt whatever its pHYs, JFIF or
EXIF resolution said, so a 300 ppi print file opened at four times its
physical size. It now opens the way Place already sizes it (pt_per_px):
at the resolution it declares, 72 ppi when it declares none.

A pinch already zoomed the canvas and a second finger already cancelled the
first finger's press, but dragging two fingers together did nothing: the
canvas only read wheel scrolls, and a touch screen sends touches. The fingers'
movement (egui's multi-touch translation) now scrolls the canvas under either
Zoom with Mouse Wheel setting, and zoom and scroll apply in the same frame, so
a pinch that also slides pans too. Trackpads send scrolls, so nothing counts
twice.

Layout (vectorcraft-text tests_combos): every pair of ligatures under tracking,
the paragraph composer, vertical alignment, Shrink Text to Fit, per-paragraph
attributes and inline graphics, and all six at once. Commands
(vectorcraft-engine tests_textcombos): Auto Size and Shrink Text with inline
art, paragraphs, composer and alignment; editing and undo across them; a save
round trip with everything on.
auto_height lays the text out in a very tall probe frame; with Center, Bottom
or Justify the lines moved down inside it and the frame grew to tens of
thousands of points.
The fit scaled each run's size, leading and baseline shift but not an inline
graphic's own shift (points), so shrunk symbols sat off the cap-height centre.
align_vertically moved lines and glyphs but not TextLayout::inlines, so inline
symbols in a centred or bottom-aligned area stayed where top alignment put them.
The reflow path for non-rectangular frames also kept the previous pass's
inlines, drawing each symbol twice.
