With Smart Guides on, a selection moved by the Selection tool only lined
its bounds up with the other art: grabbed by an anchor and dropped near
another object's anchor, it could stop a fraction of a point beside it
where an edge lined up instead. When the grabbed point comes within the
snapping tolerance of an anchor or a centre, it now lands on it, as
Smart Guides' anchor snapping does.
With anchor points selected by Direct Selection, the Align buttons moved
the whole path, so two points couldn't be lined up. As in Illustrator,
they now align the selected points: to the points' own bounds (Align To
Selection) or to the artboard. A path selected whole still aligns as an
object.
wgpu's default DX12 shader compiler loads whichever dxcompiler.dll the
DLL search path finds first; VectorCraft ships none, so it was another
program's, and one without its dxil.dll warns that the DXIL is unsigned.
wgpu takes the warning for a compile error, the device is lost before
the first frame, and the app falls back to OpenGL. FXC (d3dcompiler_47,
part of Windows) compiles everything the window needs, as LightCraft
does since its #484; WGPU_DX12_COMPILER still picks another.
tests_place::a_file_placed_while_idle_follows_its_changes failed at
random in CI (twice on 2026-10-11): while the link scan ran on its
worker thread, the test's clock moved on by whole simulated seconds per
5 ms of real time, so on a busy machine the 10 simulated seconds ran out
before the scan had read the changed file. The clock now waits for the
scan (up to 20 real seconds).
Make Compound Path kept each path's direction under the non-zero fill
rule, so a shape drawn inside or across another, running the same way,
left the overlap filled instead of making a hole. The paths in front of
the backmost one now run against it, so where they overlap it they cut
holes, as users expect from a compound path.
Releases pinned craft-fonts at its first commit, with the Japanese fonts
only. The pin moves to its current main, as PdfCraft, LightCraft and
WordCraft have moved theirs: desktop builds embed Noto Sans Thai, Noto
Sans Arabic and Noto Sans CJK SC too (the web build still embeds only
the UI font and fetches Thai and Arabic beside the wasm). Packages
already copy every embedded font's licence.
The Thai loanword test no longer assumes the bundled fonts' widths: it
checks that no line ends inside โปรแกรม, whichever Thai font sets it.

Ctrl/Alt+arrows and double-click treated a run of Thai (Lao, Khmer,
Myanmar) without spaces as one word, and stopped at a word's tone and
vowel marks, which didn't count as part of a word. They now stop at the
word boundaries the line segmenter finds in those scripts (shared with
line breaking, so no more data ships), and combining marks count as
part of a word, also for combining accents in other scripts.

The web build has no installed fonts, so Thai there showed as empty
boxes. With a craft-fonts checkout that has Noto Sans Thai, its Thai
font joins the document font database after the Arabic ones (the
fallback for Thai where no Thai font is installed) and the web build
fetches it before the app starts, as it does Noto Sans Arabic.

The font menu's script filter offered Japanese and Latin only, so Thai
fonts had to be found by name among every installed family. It now has
Thai too: the families whose character map has Thai. Latin lists the
families with neither Japanese nor Thai.

These scripts don't separate words with spaces, and lines only broke at
spaces, hyphens and CJK characters, so a Thai paragraph in area type ran
on to the next space (or was cut wherever it overflowed). Each
paragraph's glyphs now carry the word ends ICU4X's line segmenter finds
in text of those scripts (its dictionaries on the desktop, its far
smaller LSTM models on the web), and a line may break after them as
after a space. Other text keeps its own breaks, and clusters (a
consonant with its vowel and tone marks) still never split.

Two branches' status lines both landed in a merge; they are one line
again, naming both changes.

The Type tool's Left and Right arrows and Delete moved one code point at
a time, so the caret could stop between a Thai consonant and its vowel
or tone marks (or inside an accented letter or emoji sequence), where
typing or deleting splits the cluster. They now step over extended
grapheme clusters. Backspace still takes back one character at a time,
as Thai typists expect for a mistyped tone mark.

Thai typed in a font without Thai glyphs (Source Sans 3, a Latin font)
took the first loaded face that had them, or the first installed file
that did, in path order: on one Windows machine a display face (Kanit)
rather than Leelawadee UI. Characters of Thai, Lao, Khmer and Myanmar
now try fonts made for their script first, installed ones loaded on
demand (Leelawadee UI, Tahoma, Thonburi, Sukhumvit Set, Noto Sans Thai,
the TLWG fonts for Thai), then the fallback as before. Latin beside
them keeps the font chosen.

An agent driving VectorCraft over the confined MCP server had no way to
see which files it was given, so it guessed names. `file.list {path}`
lists a folder's files (with their sizes) and folders by name, held to
the automation read root like every read; links are listed as links and
not followed. At most 5000 entries, with `truncated` saying when there
were more.

An agent's build over MCP left one undo step per batch step (about 280
for one job). `command_batch` takes `atomic: true` (and an optional
`label` naming the step) to make the whole batch one undo step. It runs
the batch in an undo group, opened and closed by the new commands
`edit.undoGroup.begin {label?}` and `edit.undoGroup.end {cancel?}`, so
every backend (headless or the connected app) supports it.

The report module moves to cmd/rasterfx/report.rs (the crate's foo.rs +
foo/ layout instead of #[path]). An object is the document's when its id
is below the document's next id, so building the report no longer walks
the whole document (and its symbols and patterns) on every PDF, SVG,
print and clipboard export. The parity docs say what changed in the
status line and one evidence bullet instead of a separate paragraph.

The 64 million pixel cap can silently lower raster-effect resolution. Report each original object's id and name with requested and achieved ppi through the existing export warnings, retaining the lowest resolution across its images.
Keep the cap and rendering unchanged, cover capped and uncapped exports, and record the evidence without changing parity scores.
DXF already outlines type unless preserve: editability, so say so next to
the outlineText flag; reword the new-art sentence and point to paint.default.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Omitted paint fields keep the current appearance, so agents can get a black outline when they only set a fill. Document the initial white fill and 1 pt black stroke and recommend explicit paint for outline-free art.
Clarify SVG/SVGZ outlineText versus PDF options.advanced.outlineText and PDF's live-text default, noting DXF also accepts the top-level flag. Descriptions and documentation only; drawing and export behavior are unchanged.
render_preview only rendered the first artboard, so an agent couldn't
look at pages 2 and on of a multi-artboard document without switching
to screenshot. It now takes an optional 0-based `artboard` (as
screenshot does) and refuses an index the document doesn't have.

A path of several subpaths (an SVG `d` with several `M`s, PDF paths, a
path drawn in one go over MCP) is a compound path in Illustrator, and
Object › Compound Path › Release splits it into separate paths. Here
Release only acted on compound path objects, so such a path couldn't be
broken apart. Release now gives each subpath a path of its own, with the
path's paint, in stacking order; the first keeps the path's id. One undo
step, as before.

Hide Others, Lock Others and Outline Others left the layer they keep as
it was, so Alt-clicking the eye of a hidden layer hid everything and
Alt-clicking a locked layer's lock left it locked. As Illustrator's
Layers panel does, the layer clicked now shows (unlocks, previews) while
the others hide (lock, outline), in the same undo step.

The Anchor Point tool drags any segment of a selected blend's spine into
a curve, straight ones too, and Direct Selection reshapes a curved spine
segment as it does a path's (a straight one it leaves, as on paths). Both
run the new `object.blend.spine.reshapeSegment`, which bends the segment
with the same math as `path.reshapeSegment`, now shared as
`SubPath::bend_segment`.

Only the Mesh tool drew a gradient mesh's grid, so with the Selection
or Direct Selection tool a selected mesh showed no outline and no
points, and its points couldn't be seen to be clicked. The selection
highlight now draws a gradient mesh's lines and points, as it already
did for mesh envelopes.

winit 0.30 delivers no file drops on native Wayland. The new Linux Display
Server preference (Automatic / X11 (XWayland), shown on Linux only, read at
startup) has winit open the window on X11 when the session is Wayland,
DISPLAY is set and the X11 libraries winit loads are installed (ldconfig
check ported from PhotoCraft); otherwise the window opens on Wayland and
the log says why. README, development notes, parity docs, ROADMAP and the
complete catalogs updated.
