 - **2026-10-12** · Hyphenation Zone applies to the Single-line Composer only, as in InDesign. With the default Paragraph Composer, ragged text hyphenates where InDesign does (aper-natem), giving the same line breaks. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-12** · The Tools panel's Fill/Stroke keys work: D (default fill and stroke), X (fill or stroke in front), Shift+X (swap per object, tints included) and / (Apply None), as `color.*` commands; swap and default are one undo step (`object.swapFillStroke`, `object.defaultFillStroke`); the Color panel follows the proxy's fill/stroke choice. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-11** · Corner Options keep curved sides curved and round every corner point, including where an arc meets a line (a Pathfinder quarter circle with rounded corners stayed a triangle). No readiness percentage change.
+- **2026-10-11** · `story.replaceRange`, `story.setText`, notes, footnotes, endnotes, type on a path and table cells read `\r` and `\r\n` as paragraph returns, as `frame.create` and `text.insert` already did. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-12** · Words in capitals hyphenate like capitalized words (FERRUM COM-MODI), as in InDesign; Hyphenate Capitalized Words off keeps them whole. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-11** · `transform.move {copy}`, Edit › Duplicate and Step and Repeat return the copies' ids, so a script can go on with them. No readiness percentage change.
 - **2026-10-11** · `object.fill` and `object.stroke` refuse a swatch name the document doesn't have (it painted nothing) and suggest the name meant (`Paper` → `[Paper]`). No readiness percentage change.
