The control server wrote each reply with writeln!(out, "{r}") on the
bare TcpStream. serde_json formats a Value one piece at a time, and
each piece (a brace, a quotation mark, a key, a colon, a number) was
sent as a write of its own: the 17 MB document.inspect reply of a
document with 50,000 objects on one layer was sent in 7,857,200 writes.
On Windows 11, sending that reply to a client over loopback took 34 s,
and sending the 28 MB document.json reply took 57 s.
vectorcraft-cli mcp reads every reply from a running app over this
connection.
write_line now writes each reply, each refusal and the "too many
control connections" line through a 64 KiB BufWriter, then flushes
it. The 17 MB reply takes 262 writes. Sending it now takes 0.09 s,
and sending the 28 MB reply takes 0.2 s. The bytes are the same.

A stitching function's bound became one stop, evaluated at the bound:
the right piece's colour. Where the pieces don't meet, the left piece's
end colour was lost. The colour just before the bound is now a stop at
the same offset too, ahead of the one after it, when the two differ;
continuous stitches keep one stop per bound as before.
Fixes#1653
The rows' spans were all chained into one polyline, so where a row had
more than one span the line ran across the hole between them, outside
the shape. A span now continues the previous row's chain whose
connecting line stays inside the shape (the nearest one); otherwise it
starts a chain of its own. In a convex shape the connector always stays
inside, so the result there is unchanged (render goldens pass).
Fixes#1648
Roughen's jitter can put a point behind its predecessor, so the path
turns back. The Catmull-Rom tangent next - prev then shrinks to almost
nothing and the anchor becomes a cusp, which PDF viewers (MuPDF,
poppler, Ghostscript) draw with a miter spike; the preview doesn't.
catmull_rom now keeps the tangent at least half as long as the longer
chord, and where it is shorter (turns of more than about 150 degrees)
points it along the bisector of the two chords: the turn becomes a round
hairpin. Gentler turns keep the plain Catmull-Rom tangent, so Zig Zag,
Scribble and the render goldens are unchanged.
Fixes#1643
0.9.1 enforces the decompressed size of each block, which 0.9.0 didn't
(memory exhaustion on crafted .ai / Affinity zstd data). The manifests now ask
for at least 0.9.1.
With only ruler guides selected, X is the position of the vertical ones and Y
that of the horizontal ones; typing a value moves them (guide.move), together
when several are selected.
A point placed by the Pen, the shape tools and the other drawing tools, and a
dragged anchor, lands where two paths cross, where a path crosses a ruler guide
and where two ruler guides cross, with the Smart Guides label "intersect".
VectorCraft does not run scripts written for the reference app, and
File › Scripts held only the disabled Other Script…. File › Scripts ›
Check Script… picks a .jsx, .jsxinc or .jsxbin file, reads it without
running any of it, and shows a report: what the script needs (the
script language's own objects, the document model, files, menu
commands, dialogs, or features only the reference app has), what it
would do outside the document, the menu-command strings it passes, the
document-model member chains and type names it uses, its directives,
the files it includes, and the problems that would stop it loading.
Copy Report copies the report as JSON. File › Open and drag-and-drop
show the report for those files too.
- vectorcraft-scriptcheck, a new Standalone crate with no
dependencies, holds the checker: a lexer for ECMAScript 3 with E4X
literals and the #name and //@name directive lines, and an analysis
of the tokens that follows variables, function scopes and the files
a script includes. It never recurses: open brackets, the levels of
an XML literal and the function bodies being read are kept on stacks
capped at 4,096. It reads at most 8 MiB of a file and 32 MiB with the
included files, follows 64 included files 16 deep, looks up at most
1,024 paths for them, keeps 1,000 entries in a list, tracks 1,000
variables holding member chains and 1,000 holding File objects, and
cuts echoed text to 120 characters. A compiled script is reported as
compiled and isn't read.
- script.check (engine, a query) takes path, data or dataBase64. With a
path and includes: true, it reads the files the #include lines name
from inside the script's folder, through the automation read root,
and when the script or one of those files assigns a member chain or a
File object to a variable, the check treats the variable as holding
it in every file. It doesn't follow absolute names, names, folders or
links that lead out of the folder, names or folders longer than 4,096
bytes, or JSINCLUDE, and it reads only regular files.
- ui.checkScript shows the report (dialog scriptCheck). File › Open
lists Scripts (.jsx, .jsxinc, .jsxbin) and sends a script's path to
script.check, which reads at most 8 MiB of it.
The language rules come from ECMA-262 3rd edition and ECMA-357 2nd
edition. The directive, platform and document-model root names come
from the public JavaScript Tools Guide and scripting guide pages that
catalog.rs cites by URL, and executeMenuCommand, doScript, loadAction,
unloadAction and selectTool come from the public forum posts cited
there; only names are used. Every script in the tests is written from
scratch with invented names.

Inkscape 1.2+ saves a multi-page document as <inkscape:page> elements
in its <sodipodi:namedview>; VectorCraft opened it with one artboard
the size of the root, leaving the other pages' art outside any. Each
page with a size now becomes an artboard at its place (through the
viewBox, as the art is), named by its inkscape:label or "Artboard N".
Files without pages keep their one artboard.
Fixes#1601
A filter that can't become a live effect warned "filter on a group
ignored", even on a plain <rect>: usvg wraps every filtered element in
a group of its own, which the message named. The warning now names the
filter and its primitives and the element (by id, or "an object"), and
says it is drawn without it: "filter 'f' (feColorMatrix) on an object
isn't supported; drawn without it".
Fixes#1598
document.open (and file.newFromTemplate) with a path relative to the
working directory took the SVG's folder from Path::parent(), which is
"" for a bare file name and was then dropped, so relatively linked
images were "not found" (and, linked by their bare name, not listed in
missingLinks either). A relative path is now made absolute first: its
folder is the working directory, as for the absolute path.
vectorcraft-cli convert printed only the export's warnings; what reading
the input left out now comes as importWarnings.
Fixes#1604
A character style's OpenType features took nine tags. OtFeatures now
also keeps ss01-ss20, salt, titl, pnum, lnum, sups and subs (off by
default, one bit each in `extra`): they are accepted by the type
commands, stored with the style and passed to the shaper, so a font
that has them uses them.
The Affinity import test used ss01 as its example of a feature kept but
not rendered; it now uses cv01 for that (character variants still
aren't rendered) and keeps ss01 as one that is.
Fixes#1607
A scan's paper is a tenth darker in one corner than in another. Flat Logo found
each tone of it as a colour of its own and traced the bands and the specks
between them: on the scanned inputs 470 paths, 21 px from the art on average.
Two palette colours are now one when the pixels between them are no fewer than
a third of those at the lesser of the two: flat colours leave only their shared
edge between them, tones of one colour fill the gap. Whether the image is flat
art at all is still asked of the tones as found.
Flat Logo on its inputs, all sizes and variants: 3.106 -> 0.090 px off on
average, 88.5 -> 0.82 px at most, 69.9 -> 3.9 paths; clean, aliased, blurred
and noisy art as before.
A flyout's rows were 250 pt wide whatever they held, so in Spanish (and
other languages with long tool names) a name ran into its shortcut. The
rows are now as wide as the longest name and shortcut need, and never
narrower than before.
