Select menu commands skip hidden and locked art and stay inside the isolated group in isolation mode (#1325). Fill, stroke, gradient and Appearance panel commands that change nothing add no undo step (#1331). EPS import no longer hangs on shading functions fanned out through shared arrays (#1330), looped huge arcs, fine dashes and rectangle arrays (#1329), or very long dash patterns (#1332). Plug-in whole-number fields keep values past 2^53 exactly as typed (#1327). Large documents use far less memory: decoded images are shared and capped, undo history is bounded by memory, native files open in the background and save as a stream, and Data Recovery writes images once (#1245). Opacity mask commands (#1336), Simplify and Add Anchor Points (#1337) add no undo step when they change nothing. EPS files with thousands of tiling patterns, spot inks or clipped shadings open several times faster with the same result (#1341). A `.ai` or PDF saved from a CMYK document with transparency no longer opens blank in applications that read soft masks by luminosity (#1359, part of #1286). Gradient-filled shapes in a PDF or `.ai` open as one path with the gradient instead of a clip group round a rectangle, so Shape Builder, Live Paint and Pathfinder work on their outlines (#1351). A `.ai` saved with a bleed opens on its artboard with the bleed round it as the document's bleed, from its layers, and Crop To › Trim does the same for a PDF (#1349); a PDF saved with its editing data opens from it, with its layers, groups and art past the page, as a `.ai` does (#1345). Art moved into a hidden or locked layer (row drag, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Collect in New Layer) or hidden by a data set is deselected (#1355), and hiding or locking a layer with a large selection deselects its objects in linear time (200,000 objects: 3.9 s to 24 ms) (#1353). Objects moved whole together with direct-selected anchors follow Preferences › Transform Pattern Tiles (#1354). Preferences › Appearance of Black › On Screen works: Display All Blacks as Rich Black shows 100K black as RGB black on the canvas (#1350). DXF: a closed control-point SPLINE opens as a closed path (#1318). Numeric fields: dragging over part of a value in an unfocused field selects that part instead of the whole value (#1339). Pathfinder Divide: an open line or curve across a filled shape cuts it into separate pieces (#1335); Unite, Minus Front, Minus Back, Intersect and Exclude results keep the source object's name, so exported SVG keeps its id (#1308). Object › Align follows the Align To choice (one object aligns to the artboard), and the choice is kept across restarts (#1347). Artboard tool: a click on an object creates an artboard fitted to it (#1252). Rulers: drag the ruler corner to move the zero point, double-click it to reset; the X/Y fields measure from it (#1250). Live Corners: with Direct Selection, a click on a corner widget selects that corner, so the next drag rounds it alone (#1239). A click with the Polar Grid tool opens a dialog for its size and divider counts, as the Rectangular Grid tool does (#1192). A `.ai` whose editing data holds an image on hidden lines is no longer misread (#1364, part of #1264). PDF export leaves out art placed beyond 1,000,000,000 pt instead of aborting debug and test builds (#1360). Affinity import: rectangles keep per-corner radii and straight (cut) corners (#1369, part of #666). Tools panel: the tool buttons are centred inside the panel border, in one and two columns (#1363). Spanish: 371 more interface strings translated (presets, shortcut editor, print and PDF options, Save for Web and more) (#1371). The Properties panel no longer widens and cuts off its labels when an Image Trace object is selected (#1374, part of #1358). Art drawn flush with an artboard (a background a rounding error outside it) moves, copies and scales with the artboard again (#1375, from #1295). A character no installed font had is looked for again after the fonts are rescanned, so installing a font fixes it without a restart (#1376, from #992). A PDF saved with its editing data and a bleed opens on its artboard with the bleed round it, as a `.ai` does (#1379, follow-up to #1349 and #1345). Dialogs opened from a menu focus their first field every time they open, not only the first time, so typing, Tab and Enter work (#1382, fixes #1367); a dialog whose first field is greyed out (Blend Options on Smooth Color, Layers Panel Options) gives the keyboard focus to that field once it is enabled (#1395). In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a gradient with stops in the middle draws across its whole shape and a gradient object no longer passes its fill to the next path (#1390); text objects with an appearance keep their own text and frame, type of hidden layers stays hidden, and type on later artboards lands on its text objects (#1391); area type whose frame is too short for a line of the fallback font shows its first line, the frame made taller with a warning in the open result (#1392) (follow-ups to #1264). `--control` without a valid port (or a bad `VECTORCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT`) stops the desktop app with an error instead of starting without a control server, and `--control=` works too (#1383). Documents with many symbol instances or inline graphics redraw faster and use less memory: the art placed for each instance is kept between frames (#1386). PDF and `.ai` import and placed PDFs keep overprint (`/OP`, `/op`), so overprinting spot colours still overprint after export (#1413, fixes #1388). A `.ai` whose PDF part draws only text opens from that part when its editing data can't be read, instead of being refused (#1414, fixes #1387). In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a compound path takes the paint of its last path, so its gradient no longer comes in black, and paths grouped inside a compound path stay its paths (#1426, fixes #1410). With anchors selected with Direct Selection, the Scale, Rotate, Reflect and Shear tools, their dialogs and Move transform only those anchors (#1427, fixes #1408). The Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs have a live Preview, and the arrow keys step their angles and percentages by 1 (Shift: 10) (#1428, fixes #1412). A stroke wider than its closed shape (a small ellipse or rectangle with a heavy stroke) paints solid on the canvas, as in exports, instead of showing a hole (#1409, fixes #1396). The bounding box hides while a corner radius is dragged with the Selection tool (#1402, fixes #1229). Pasting a picture works when the clipboard also holds a blank text item beside it (#1404). `document.inspect` reports a compound path's fill, stroke and weight and every node's blend mode when it isn't Normal (#1397, fixes #1389); `object.isolate` with an id that doesn't exist says there is no such object (#1415); the MCP guide covers Spacing Guides and four more preferences, all resources, and the symbol, brush, variable and Image Trace commands (#1418). PDF and `.ai` import keep a stroke opaque and unmasked when the fill under it was faded or masked by its group, and a `.ai` read as its PDF part keeps its RGB numbers (#1434). SVG export writes knockout groups of opaque art without masks (smaller files, no edge seams), and `vectorcraft-cli convert` takes `--decimals` (#1435). Delete, Cut, Group, Ungroup, Make and Release Compound Path, Make Clipping Mask, Send to Current Layer, Duplicate and the copying transforms of thousands of objects take a fraction of a second instead of seconds (#1430, part of #1429), and an Alt-drag with the selection and transform tools copies the selection once per drag instead of on every move (#1464, part of #1429). An Affinity text frame too short for its first line (a 64 pt title in a 54 pt frame) is made taller on import, with a note, instead of showing nothing (#1449, fixes #1423). Fit Headline no longer pushes the tracking to its ceiling and loses glyphs when the frame holds one line (#1445, fixes #1444). Text frames, wrap shapes and type paths with coordinates beyond a billion points (from damaged files) hold no text instead of hanging the layout (#1451). Czech: 128 more strings translated (#1461). Plug-ins: a numeric parameter's default stays inside its declared range (#1463). Split Into Grid has the documented options: number, height or width, gutter and total for rows and columns, Add Guides and Preview; several selected paths become one grid painted as the topmost one (#1488, fixes #1462). Grayscale TIFFs with an alpha channel or other extra channels can be placed, relinked and opened, the alpha as the image's transparency (#1489, part of #1466). Selected text in numeric and dialog fields is drawn in white or black instead of blue on the blue highlight (#1490, part of #1465). The Pathfinder panel works on a group selected alone (its members are combined), and a greyed-out button says what it needs (#1493, for #1450). Transform Objects joins Transform Patterns in the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs and in Transform Each (off: only the pattern tiles transform), and Reflect takes an angle for its axis (#1494, fixes #1448 and #1460). A window larger than 8192 px (several monitors, a display-scale change) keeps its surface instead of closing the app (#1495, part of #1459). Commands run through MCP, the control channel and the CLI refuse a parameter key they don't take, naming it and the nearest accepted key (#1496, fixes #1442). A focused number field follows its value when a slider or preview changes it, so the next key no longer puts the old value back (#1497, fixes #1457). | +| 2026-10-12 | Graphs: Object › Graph › Design… and Marker… (designs with a preview, New Design, Rename, Delete Design, Paste Design, Select Unused, and markers drawn with a design or None) (#1092); Graph Data opens as a worksheet with Import Data…, column width and decimals (#1138), and takes Transpose, Switch x/y, `|` line breaks in labels and the pie Legend, Position and Sort options (#1115); Graph Type adds Add Drop Shadow and Add Legend Across Top (#1119), widths past 100%, First Row and First Column in Front, and Draw Filled Lines (#1136); graphs keep their label formatting when drawn again (#1137).

Art drawn flush with an artboard (a background a rounding error outside it) moves, copies and scales with the artboard again (#1375, from #1295). A character no installed font had is looked for again after the fonts are rescanned, so installing a font fixes it without a restart (#1376, from #992). A PDF saved with its editing data and a bleed opens on its artboard with the bleed round it, as a `.ai` does (#1379, follow-up to #1349 and #1345). Dialogs opened from a menu focus their first field every time they open, not only the first time, so typing, Tab and Enter work (#1382, fixes #1367); a dialog whose first field is greyed out (Blend Options on Smooth Color, Layers Panel Options) gives the keyboard focus to that field once it is enabled (#1395). In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a gradient with stops in the middle draws across its whole shape and a gradient object no longer passes its fill to the next path (#1390); text objects with an appearance keep their own text and frame, type of hidden layers stays hidden, and type on later artboards lands on its text objects (#1391); area type whose frame is too short for a line of the fallback font shows its first line, the frame made taller with a warning in the open result (#1392) (follow-ups to #1264). `--control` without a valid port (or a bad `VECTORCRAFT_CONTROL_PORT`) stops the desktop app with an error instead of starting without a control server, and `--control=` works too (#1383). Documents with many symbol instances or inline graphics redraw faster and use less memory: the art placed for each instance is kept between frames (#1386). PDF and `.ai` import and placed PDFs keep overprint (`/OP`, `/op`), so overprinting spot colours still overprint after export (#1413, fixes #1388). A `.ai` whose PDF part draws only text opens from that part when its editing data can't be read, instead of being refused (#1414, fixes #1387). In a `.ai` opened from its editing data, a compound path takes the paint of its last path, so its gradient no longer comes in black, and paths grouped inside a compound path stay its paths (#1426, fixes #1410). With anchors selected with Direct Selection, the Scale, Rotate, Reflect and Shear tools, their dialogs and Move transform only those anchors (#1427, fixes #1408). The Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs have a live Preview, and the arrow keys step their angles and percentages by 1 (Shift: 10) (#1428, fixes #1412). A stroke wider than its closed shape (a small ellipse or rectangle with a heavy stroke) paints solid on the canvas, as in exports, instead of showing a hole (#1409, fixes #1396). The bounding box hides while a corner radius is dragged with the Selection tool (#1402, fixes #1229). Pasting a picture works when the clipboard also holds a blank text item beside it (#1404). `document.inspect` reports a compound path's fill, stroke and weight and every node's blend mode when it isn't Normal (#1397, fixes #1389); `object.isolate` with an id that doesn't exist says there is no such object (#1415); the MCP guide covers Spacing Guides and four more preferences, all resources, and the symbol, brush, variable and Image Trace commands (#1418). PDF and `.ai` import keep a stroke opaque and unmasked when the fill under it was faded or masked by its group, and a `.ai` read as its PDF part keeps its RGB numbers (#1434). SVG export writes knockout groups of opaque art without masks (smaller files, no edge seams), and `vectorcraft-cli convert` takes `--decimals` (#1435). Delete, Cut, Group, Ungroup, Make and Release Compound Path, Make Clipping Mask, Send to Current Layer, Duplicate and the copying transforms of thousands of objects take a fraction of a second instead of seconds (#1430, part of #1429), and an Alt-drag with the selection and transform tools copies the selection once per drag instead of on every move (#1464, part of #1429). An Affinity text frame too short for its first line (a 64 pt title in a 54 pt frame) is made taller on import, with a note, instead of showing nothing (#1449, fixes #1423). Fit Headline no longer pushes the tracking to its ceiling and loses glyphs when the frame holds one line (#1445, fixes #1444). Text frames, wrap shapes and type paths with coordinates beyond a billion points (from damaged files) hold no text instead of hanging the layout (#1451). Czech: 128 more strings translated (#1461). Plug-ins: a numeric parameter's default stays inside its declared range (#1463). Split Into Grid has the documented options: number, height or width, gutter and total for rows and columns, Add Guides and Preview; several selected paths become one grid painted as the topmost one (#1488, fixes #1462). Grayscale TIFFs with an alpha channel or other extra channels can be placed, relinked and opened, the alpha as the image's transparency (#1489, part of #1466). Selected text in numeric and dialog fields is drawn in white or black instead of blue on the blue highlight (#1490, part of #1465). The Pathfinder panel works on a group selected alone (its members are combined), and a greyed-out button says what it needs (#1493, for #1450). Transform Objects joins Transform Patterns in the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs and in Transform Each (off: only the pattern tiles transform), and Reflect takes an angle for its axis (#1494, fixes #1448 and #1460). A window larger than 8192 px (several monitors, a display-scale change) keeps its surface instead of closing the app (#1495, part of #1459). Commands run through MCP, the control channel and the CLI refuse a parameter key they don't take, naming it and the nearest accepted key (#1496, fixes #1442). A focused number field follows its value when a slider or preview changes it, so the next key no longer puts the old value back (#1497, fixes #1457). Effect › 3D and Materials: outlined words and other shapes of many small curves take Rotate, Extrude & Bevel and Inflate (curves are sampled by a tolerance; Rotate takes up to 65,536 outline points; #1481), Extrude & Bevel's Twist runs 0° to 360°, as the public panel reference gives it (#1524), and a twisted extrusion keeps its walls (from about 45° they were dropped; #1525). Text commands and the MCP `add_text` tool say when area type does not fit its frame, and `add_text` takes Auto Size and Shrink Text to Fit (#1500, fixes #1471). A tab stop in the Tabs panel drags from where the press landed, including one just added (#1487, fixes #1458). `graph.setData`'s CSV keeps each value exactly instead of rounding it to two decimals, so applying the returned CSV changes nothing (#1485). In Outline view a template layer keeps drawing in Preview, dimmed, so a picture placed to be traced stays visible (#1505, fixes #1486). Sliders in Save for Web, the raster export options, Preferences and the opacity popup show their rail, filled up to the handle (#1506, fixes #1483). Direct Selection picks the anchor of the selected object where anchors of overlapping objects coincide, also under another object (#1509, fixes #1508). Print-size images (past 512 MB decoded, up to 2 GB) draw in the canvas and in raster exports and can be trimmed with Crop Image; an image whose side is past 65,535 px is shrunk to fit, a raster export says when an image could not be decoded, and Crop Image's trim leaves CMYK images alone (#1517). On Windows, `vectorcraft-cli perf` reports the cores busy and, with `--deep`, its working set, and warns on a busy machine as on macOS and Linux (#1502). French: 423 missing strings added and 188 entries reworded to the feature names French users know (#1511). Hungarian: one message uses the informal address like the rest of the interface (#1474). | | 2026-10-11 | Effect › Brush Strokes: Accented Edges, Angled Strokes, Crosshatch, Dark Strokes, Ink Outlines, Spatter, Sprayed Strokes, Sumi-e (G2). Command parameters from agents and files checked before anything changes (paint, place, cuts, dashes, crop, asset ids, anchors, paths, distort; #984–#999); command dialogs keep whole numbers whole, so Create Object Mosaic takes the tiles typed (#1000); stepper arrows take Shift (×10) and Ctrl/Cmd (÷10) like the arrow keys (#991). Exports and Rasterize supersample Art Optimized edges, so shapes meeting edge to edge leave no seam (#983). Character and paragraph styles take leading, kerning, mojikumi and the other attributes left out at their defaults (#1001). Drawing, typing and pasting with no layer shown and unlocked is refused instead of adding art to a hidden or locked layer (#1002). MCP `add_text` gives type on or in a path the colour asked for (#1003). MCP `screenshot` of a connected app renders the artboard asked for (#1004). `vectorcraft-cli run` ends quietly when its reader closes early (#1005). Select › All on Active Artboard selects on the artboard made active, not always the first (#1006). Reverse Gradient keeps off-centre midpoints, mirrored (#1007). A polar grid with no radial dividers draws none (#1008). Use Precise Cursors also covers the Pen's join pointer (#1009). SVGs with one absolute and one unitless root side import at their size, unstretched (#1010). DXF US survey inches, yards and miles open at their size and name (#1011). A file placed into a document with no other links follows its first change even while the app sits idle (#1031). PDF import keeps the style a font name says when the file doesn't embed the font (#1023). Shift selects ruler guides and art together, and Delete removes both (#1022). Open filled paths are hit by their fill on every side, the rotate cursor bows around the corner it is at, the flip icons match their flips, the Color Picker previews on the selection, and Properties › Transform reaches Scale Corners and Scale Strokes & Effects (#1036). Offset Path and the other booleans finish on outlines where the sweep used to loop until memory ran out (linesweeper 0.5, #1028). Floating panel groups stack into sets that move together, collapse to their tabs and dock as extra dock columns that scroll (#1020). Ruler guides live on layers: listed in the Layers panel, shown, hidden, locked, duplicated, merged and deleted with their layer, and moved between layers (#1021). A `.ai` whose editing data uses global process colours (`Xk`/`XK`) or pattern fills keeps its sublayers: the colours come in as global swatches at their tint, the patterns as pattern swatches (#1025). A `.ai` in PostScript form opens through its layers, read from the program itself, also when it names the prolog defining its operators without including it, as Rhino and other CAD apps write it (#1027). A fill or stroke chosen while the Type tool has characters selected colours just those characters (#1063). Scaled type shows its scaled font size, leading, baseline shift and horizontal scale in the Character panel, and a size typed there is the size you get (#1034). Character panel menu › Proportional Metrics sets Japanese and Chinese full-width glyphs on the font's proportional widths in horizontal type (#966). Align, Distribute, Move, Arrange, Lock, Hide, Ungroup and other Object commands that would change nothing no longer record an undo step or mark the document changed (#1060). Spot colours defined in Lab open with their Lab values from `.ai` and PDF files, instead of as wrong RGB colours or their CMYK equivalents (#1032). Build scripts leave a generated source they wouldn't change untouched, so the next build doesn't compile most of the workspace again where file times lose their sub-second part (#1051). A fill colour recolours the gradient mesh point last clicked with the Mesh tool or Direct Selection, and a Mesh tool click on a mesh's point selects that mesh (#1052). The All Tools drawer stays two tools wide instead of filling a wide window (#1054). Text Wrap's Make, Release and Options refuse a list of object ids with a malformed or unknown id instead of skipping it (#1055). A freeform gradient line with a malformed point index is refused instead of being shortened to the indices that are valid (#1056). The Corners dialog (`ui.corners`) refuses a malformed object id or a listed anchor that isn't a corner instead of editing the selection or the other corners (#1057). New View refuses a centre that isn't exactly [x, y] and a rotation that isn't a number, instead of trimming the one and saving the other as 0° (#1058). The command sweeps try junk scale, spacing and artboard values too, which they had skipped since before those bugs were fixed (#1059). EPS and PostScript `arc` and `arcn` with huge angles no longer hang the import, and an arc whose angles are whole turns apart is empty, as the PostScript reference defines it (#1062). Align and Distribute Spacing keep the key object still also when it is inside a selected group or compound path (#1074). A `.ai` whose layers can't be read yet still opens with its artboards where they were (in a grid, say), not in a row (#1068). Layer Options (`ui.layerOptions`) refuses a malformed or unknown row id instead of skipping it or opening on the highlighted rows (#1077). Shaper scribbles given a list of object ids refuse a malformed or unknown id instead of skipping it and editing the shapes that remain (#1078). Delete Width Point (`stroke.widthPoint.remove`) refuses a list of indices with a malformed entry instead of deleting the points that remain, and no longer wraps a huge index round on the web (#1079). Preferences' checkboxes have an outline when the pointer isn't over them, in every interface brightness, as the app's other dialogs' checkboxes do (#1080). The last plain checkboxes (Properties panel snapping and Scale Strokes & Effects, Revolve, Save options, Export for Screens, Variables, plug-in forms) keep a visible box at rest in every theme too (#885). Setting or copying a width point with a malformed index is refused instead of adding a new point or wrapping a huge index round (follow-up to #1079). An Illustrator EPS opened through its layers keeps its own page size and the red outline of text stacked over a dark one, as 0.8.0 did (#1102). The macOS DMG is built so the app in it passes `codesign --verify --strict --deep`, and the release checks that it does (#1085). Swatch and graphic style libraries, Libraries panel files, presets and plug-ins dropped on the window open as File › Open opens them instead of being placed on the canvas (#1083). A key object needs another selected object outside it: a change that leaves one object selected lets the key go, and one selected object aligns to the artboard whatever Align To says (#1088). Align to Artboard aligns to the active artboard, and actions play their Align to Artboard, All on Active Artboard and Paste in Place, in Front and in Back steps on the artboard active when they play (#1105). Align refuses a call with neither direction, and Align, Distribute, Reflect and Shear refuse a direction, axis, target or bounds they don't take instead of falling back to a default (#1106). `object.setProps` deselects the objects it hides or locks, the key object included, as the Layers panel's eye and lock do (#1107). Align, Distribute and Distribute Spacing move pattern tiles with the art when General › Transform Pattern Tiles is on (#1108). Object › Lock › All Artwork Above and Object › Hide › All Artwork Above deselect the selected objects they lock or hide, the key object included (#1109). Save Swatch Library's `count` is the number of swatches the file holds: `.gpl` and `.ase` hold solid colors only, and CSS leaves freeform gradients out (#1110). In a rotated view (Rotate View), an artboard's name stays at its own top-left corner (#1095). Ctrl+Shift+L, C, R, J and F align or justify the paragraphs of the selected type, or those the Type tool's selection touches (#1111). On macOS, file dialogs are sheets on the document window, so resizing one no longer crashes the app; while one is open the menus, Quit and Close wait, and its answer goes to the document that asked (#867). Shape Builder merges regions that crossing lines cut along the lines' own edges, so a strip merged across a grid of lines is one outline with no seams left inside (#1081). Proportional Metrics also works in vertical type: upright glyphs take the font's proportional heights (`vpal`), and Line-end Punctuation Half Width takes nothing more off the punctuation it re-spaced (#1082). Plug-in whole-number parameters keep their exact value however large, and stay in the range the manifest gives (#1091). PDF and `.ai` import keeps type spaced glyph by glyph (character tightening, optical kerning) with each glyph in its place, giving each character its own tracking when the file's font is installed, and CJK punctuation closed up by its proportional width continues its line (#1101). Direct Selection: pressing an anchor of a path selected whole keeps all its anchors selected, so the drag moves them all; Alt-dragging by an anchor copies the whole path, held by that anchor, which snaps onto other anchors and onto the original the copy leaves behind; Alt pressed or released during the drag turns the copy on and off, as with the Selection tool, whose copies snap to their original too, and the undo step is named Copy or Move for what the drag did (#1104). The toolbar's Fill/Stroke proxy and Color, Gradient and None buttons grow in two columns, where the three drawing modes sit side by side (#1129). An image copied in a browser that puts its `` markup on the clipboard as text pastes as the picture, not the markup (#1089). `file.place` of an SVG with `crop: "crop"` frames and clips it by its viewBox, so art drawn on a shared canvas keeps its place and scale (#788). While a star is dragged, Ctrl/Cmd keeps its inner radius as the outer one grows and Alt keeps its shoulders straight (#812). Edit Toolbar opens the All Tools drawer beside the toolbar, dims the tools already in it, and adds, removes and moves tools by drag and drop while it is open (#1018). The Selection tool's arrow is black and Direct Selection's white in every theme, as users know them: in the dark themes they looked swapped. The font menu keeps its highlight on the same font when the list changes under it (a family's styles listed above it, fonts that finish loading, a favourite unstarred), and ends the live preview when that font leaves the list (#1116). The Windows installer has a Shortcuts page with a ticked "Create a desktop shortcut" box, and a silent install adds the shortcut unless `INSTALLDESKTOPSHORTCUT=""` is passed (#1128). Image Trace's Noise merges specks until none under its size is left beside another colour, so a higher Noise never gives more paths (#1130). `cargo clippy -D warnings` passes for the wasm32 web build (#1132). Gradient stops with opacity blend colour and opacity apart on the canvas, as Illustrator and the PDF and SVG exports do: a transparent stop's colour still tints the fade (#1142). An SVG mask whose art is all hidden imports as an empty opacity mask, so its object stays hidden as browsers draw it (#1143). Shift-click with the Artboard tool, or in the Artboards panel, selects several artboards, which then move, duplicate (Alt-drag) and delete together (#1139). A shape far beyond any page (from a malformed file) is left undrawn instead of making the renderer abort the app. Live Corners round corners where curved segments meet too, trimming each curve to what the cut leaves of it (#1144). Effect › Distort & Transform › Zig Zag's dialog has sliders for Size and Ridges per segment, and Relative / Absolute and Smooth / Corner as radio buttons (#1133). Object › Path › Offset Path opens on the offset, joins and miter limit it was last applied with (#1152). A marquee selects only the objects whose paths it touches: one drawn over a background, in Preview or Outline, no longer selects the background too (#1103). On Linux, Preferences › Performance › Linux Display Server › X11 (XWayland) opens the window through XWayland on a Wayland session, where files dropped from a file manager arrive (#1151). A selected gradient mesh shows its mesh lines and points with the Selection and Direct Selection tools too, not only with the Mesh tool (#1111). A blend's spine bends: the Anchor Point tool drags any of its segments into a curve, straight ones too, and Direct Selection reshapes its curved segments (`object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment`, #1111). Alt-click on a hidden layer's eye shows that layer as it hides the others, and on a locked layer's lock unlocks it as it locks the others: the layer clicked is the one left in view (#1158). Object › Compound Path › Release splits a path of several subpaths (an SVG `d` with several `M`s, a path drawn in one go over MCP) into one path per subpath, with its paint and stacking order, as it does a compound path (#1163). MCP `render_preview` takes an `artboard` index, so an agent can look at every page of a multi-artboard document (#1163). The MCP drawing tools say that omitted paint follows the new-art appearance (a white fill and 1 pt black stroke at first), and `export` says which formats take `outlineText` (#1148). The desktop app refuses a malformed `--automation-read-root` / `--automation-write-root` (no folder, an empty one, another option or the flag twice) before it starts, instead of dropping the root its environment variable set and leaving the control channel unconfined (#1157). PDF export warns, once per object, when the 64 million pixel cap renders its raster effects below the document's raster effects resolution, with the requested and the achieved ppi (#1147). MCP `command_batch` with `atomic: true` makes the whole batch one undo step, named by `label` (`edit.undoGroup.begin`/`end`, #1163). `file.list {path}` lists a folder's files and folders for agents, held to the automation read root (#1163). Thai typed in a font without Thai glyphs is set in an installed font made for Thai (Leelawadee UI, Tahoma, Thonburi, Sukhumvit Set, Noto Sans Thai…) instead of whichever face with Thai glyphs loaded first, and Lao, Khmer and Myanmar likewise. With the Type tool, the Left and Right arrows and Delete step over whole clusters (a Thai consonant with its vowel and tone marks, a letter with a combining accent, an emoji sequence), so the caret never lands inside one; Backspace still takes back one character at a time, a mistyped tone mark say. Thai, Lao, Khmer and Myanmar area type breaks its lines between words, which those scripts don't separate with spaces, instead of running on to the next space; the words come from ICU4X's line segmenter (its dictionaries on the desktop, its smaller LSTM models on the web). The font menu's script filter has Thai beside Japanese and Latin: the families whose character map has Thai. With craft-fonts' Noto Sans Thai, Thai is set in it where no Thai font is installed, and the web build fetches it before the app starts, so Thai no longer shows as empty boxes there. With the Type tool, Ctrl/Alt+arrows and double-click take Thai, Lao, Khmer and Myanmar text word by word (ภาษา, ไทย…) instead of a whole run without spaces, and a word's vowel and tone marks (and combining accents) stay part of it. Releases embed the current craft-fonts (Noto Sans Thai, Noto Sans Arabic and Noto Sans CJK SC beside the Japanese fonts), as the other craft apps' releases do. Object › Compound Path › Make cuts holes where the paths in front overlap the backmost one, also when they were drawn running the same way (#1197). On Windows, Direct3D 12 shaders compile with FXC, part of Windows, so a dxcompiler.dll another program left on the search path without its dxil.dll no longer loses the graphics device at start-up and drops the app to OpenGL (#1194). With anchor points selected by Direct Selection, the Align buttons align those points (to their own bounds or the artboard) instead of moving the whole path (#1180). With Smart Guides, an object grabbed by an anchor and dropped near another object's anchor lands exactly on it, instead of its bounds lining up a fraction of a point beside it (#955). .ai import: a copied area type or type-on-a-path object now sits where its own art puts it, not on top of the original (#1208). EPS/.ai import: a font is found by its exact PostScript name before the name is split, so families with hyphens keep their name (#1207). EPS/.ai import: type from the text document keeps its line spacing across paragraphs instead of applying the paragraph spacing twice (#1206). Brazilian Portuguese translates the remaining UI labels and engine messages (#1205). Czech joins the complete languages: panels, dialogs, plurals and status and error messages (#1189). Type: Digits (Character panel menu, with the Middle Eastern options) draws every digit in the Default, Arabic, Hindi or Farsi numeral system (#1201). Linux: under Wayland, Automatic draws on the GPU the compositor says it draws with, so a hybrid laptop whose compositor runs on the discrete GPU no longer opens an empty window (#1200). Large documents: editing a big selection takes time linear in the document (a 25,000-path nudge 3.5 s → 48 ms), live geometry effects are kept across frames, Pathfinder Trim, Merge, Crop and Outline are 9–20× faster with identical output, and undo history holds 41% less (#1173). | | 2026-10-10 | Initial live Revolve (Effect › 3D and Materials, #846, #605), in its own `three-d` crate.

Deep areas have their own checklists: [UI and interaction](ui-parity.md), @@ -436,9 +436,9 @@ Moved from the ROADMAP's "Shipped so far" on 2026-10-10. Update it when a featur Transform Again uses the Copy, Transform Patterns, Scale Strokes & Effects and Scale Corners choices of the transform it repeats; after a bounding-box handle drag on area type, it resizes the type area again and the type keeps its size (`object.transformAgain`). With anchors selected with Direct Selection, Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect, Shear and Transform Again (the commands, their dialogs and the four tools' drags) transform only those anchors, their handles with them, about the centre of the box around them unless a point was clicked; a copy still copies the whole object (#1408; behaviour reference: [adjust path segments](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/adjust-path-segments.html); the default reference point and the copy are our choices). The Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs have a Preview checkbox, off when they open: while it is on the canvas follows the values, Cancel rolls it back and OK is still one undo step; Up/Down step the Rotate and Shear angles and the Scale percentages by 1, Shift by 10 (#1412). The five dialogs and Transform Each have Transform Objects beside Transform Patterns: off, the art stays and only its pattern tiles transform (`objects` on the transform commands), and Transform Again repeats the choice (#1448; behaviour reference: [scale objects](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/reshape-transform-objects/scale-objects.html); the checkboxes are always enabled and the Scale page's pair is applied to all of them, our choices). Reflect's axis is Horizontal, Vertical or an angle (#1460; [reflect objects along an axis](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/manage-objects/arrange-objects/reflect-objects-along-an-axis.html)). The link that keeps Transform Each's two scales equal is not built. - **Live Corners:** drag a live rectangle's corner widgets (Selection or Direct Selection) to round all corners, with a radius readout; with Direct Selection, select corner anchors to show and round just those corners (#381). Each corner keeps its own radius and kind (Round, Inverted Round, Chamfer): Alt-click a widget to cycle the kind, double-click it for the Corners dialog, and the Properties and Transform radius fields set the selected corners (`object.setLiveShape {corners, radius, kind}`). Corners stay circular when the rectangle is scaled unevenly or along its own sides when rotated (the radius keeps its size, or scales by the mean scale with Scale Corners on); only a shear distorts them. On a rectangle that isn't square every corner is the same circle: a radius past half the shorter side stops there for all of them, the widgets sit on the corners as drawn and turn the edited corners red at that limit, CSS export writes the drawn radii, and rectangles saved stretched by older versions get circular corners when their corners are next set (#442). Live Corners work on any path's corners too, as on a rectangle's (#511): a star's, a live polygon's (which also shows them to the Selection tool, has a Corner Radius field in the Properties and Transform panels and keeps its radius as its sides change) and a pen path's, wherever two sides meet at an angle at an anchor that isn't smooth: curved sides too, trimmed to what the cut leaves of them (#1144). Direct Selection shows the widgets of every corner, or of the corners holding selected anchors; each corner is a circle tangent to both sides, drawn no larger than takes its cut halfway along its shorter side; a path keeps its uncut outline so its corners stay editable, and the same command, dialog, angle preference and View › Hide Corner Widget apply. With Direct Selection a click on a widget (no drag) selects its corner, as a click on the corner's anchor does, so the next drag on it rounds that corner alone; Shift-click toggles it (#1239). While a corner widget is dragged with the Selection tool the bounding box hides, so the rounding shows against the path alone (#1229). - **Pen:** Alt pressed in the middle of dragging out an anchor splits its handles and keeps the curve already shaped into it (only the outgoing handle follows the pointer); Space held while dragging out an anchor moves it, handles and all. A press on the first anchor of the path being drawn closes it whatever the drag then does: the drag shapes the closing curve (symmetric handles, Alt breaks them) and the release closes the path wherever it ends (#501). Clicking the last anchor of the path being drawn retracts its outgoing handle (convert cursor), and dragging from it pulls out a new one on its own. Auto Add/Delete: over a selected path, a click on a segment adds an anchor and a click on an anchor deletes it (add and delete cursors); Shift held, or Preferences › General › Disable Auto Add/Delete, starts a new path instead. Alt held over a handle end or an anchor of a selected path (the one being drawn too) works as the Anchor Point tool, with its convert cursor: dragging a handle moves it alone, clicking a smooth anchor makes it a corner, dragging an anchor pulls out new symmetric handles, dragging a segment reshapes it; drawing then goes on. Cmd (Ctrl) held drags with the selection tool chosen last, Direct Selection until one is (handles, anchors and segments of the path being drawn or another), and the Pen then goes on drawing its path while that stays selected; the pointer shows that tool's while Cmd is held. The same holds for agents (`pointer_gesture` with `mods.cmd`), as the borrowing now lives in the engine (#494). - - **Direct Selection (#1278):** clicking a segment picks its connection, with hollow endpoint anchors and only that curve's direction handles. Delete leaves the neighboring curves and appearance intact, opens/splits contours in one undo step, and another Delete removes the remaining selected path. A whole-path drag and deliberate anchor selection keep their existing behavior; egui frames and native control/art checked, OS mouse/visual QA pending. + - **Direct Selection (#1278):** clicking a segment picks its connection, with hollow endpoint anchors and only that curve's direction handles. Delete leaves the neighboring curves and appearance intact, opens/splits contours in one undo step, and another Delete removes the remaining selected path. A whole-path drag and deliberate anchor selection keep their existing behavior; egui frames and native control/art checked, OS mouse/visual QA pending. Where anchors of overlapping objects coincide, a click or drag takes the anchor of the selected object, also when another object lies over it (#1509, fixes #1508). - **Path editing (#494):** the handles shown are the handles that drag: Direct Selection drags those of a path selected as a whole (as the Pen leaves it), the Anchor Point tool and Pen+Alt no longer grab handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked, and the anchor tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display › Tolerance. A dragged segment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth. With Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature and the anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, and the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert (corner, smooth) for them too; Remove and Cut wait for anchors direct-selected (#504). A handle drag gathers its snap targets once per drag (it took 21 ms per pointer move on a 20,000-path document, now 1 ms; `vectorcraft-cli perf` measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path). - - **Graphs:** Column, Stacked Column, Bar, Stacked Bar, Line, Area, Scatter, Pie and Radar graph tools with Graph Data and Graph Type. A series starts in greyscale; Group Selection's fill and stroke are kept separately on the graph and reapplied when its data, type or size changes, and through save, open and undo. Graph Type's Override Calculated Values (both `axisMin` and `axisMax`) uses exactly that value-axis range, split into the tick count (5 when automatic). Line graphs take Edge-to-Edge Lines (off by default: the points sit at the centres of their categories; graphs saved before the option keep their edge-to-edge lines), and radar graphs follow Mark Data Points and Connect Data Points. Blank cells (an empty CSV cell or `null`) are values left out, not zeros: columns, bars and stacked segments skip them, lines and scatter lines break around them and the value axis ignores them, while area, pie and radar draw them as 0; a number in straight quotes is a label, and the data window writes it back quoted. Graph types combine: Graph Type on series picked with Group Selection (or `series` indexes) draws them as their own type, with column, stacked column, line and area mixing on the vertical value axis and bar and stacked bar on the horizontal one; stacked columns take one slot of the cluster, lines draw in front of columns and areas behind. The value axis goes on the left, the right or both sides (column, stacked column, line, area and scatter graphs; bar graphs keep theirs along the bottom), and Separate Scales gives the series assigned to the right axis a scale of their own with its own tick values. Each value axis takes tick marks of no, short or full (across the plot) length and a count per division, and a prefix and suffix for its numbers; the category axis takes tick marks too (none by default), at or between its labels. Graph designs: Object › Graph › Design lists the designs with a preview of the selected one, and New Design (the selected art), Rename, Delete Design, Paste Design (a copy back to edit) and Select Unused, and Marker draws the data points and legend swatches of line, scatter and radar series with a design, scaled so its backmost object fills the default marker's square. Graph Data transposes rows and columns and switches a scatter graph's x and y, and a `|` in a category or series label starts a new line. Pie graphs take Legends in Wedges, Position (Even, Ratio sized by area, Stacked on one centre) and Sort (None, All, First). Graph Type takes column and cluster widths up to 1000% (overlapping past 100%) with First Row and First Column in Front (First Row orders each series' categories; across series the series order decides, so series stay one group each for Group Selection), draws filled lines, adds drop shadows behind columns, bars, lines and wedges, and puts the legend in rows across the top.
