- Type left unfinished when a layer's marked content ends, and a clip that closes in a later layer,
stay in their own layer (no stray "Page N" layer, no art moved to the next layer).
- Top-level layers stack as the pages mark them, so a layer whose art starts on a later page keeps its
place; layers marked with no art come in empty.
- A stroke written as each glyph's outline stroked, right after (or before) the type, becomes the type
object's stroke above (or below) its characters: the type stays one editable object.
- Spaces read from gaps wider than a space get their own tracking where even tracking would put the
glyphs after them more than a tenth of an em off (barcode digit groups); lines are measured to their
last visible glyph, so a wrapped line's trailing space no longer spreads into the tracking.
- Lines wrapped in a frame (each wrapped line ending in a space, one left edge, font, size and leading,
with an optional paragraph spacing) come back as one area type object, left aligned or justified,
only where laying it out breaks the lines exactly where the file does.

- The worker reads the clipboard only while nothing is copied in the app
and a document is open (as the in-line check did before), and idles on
a channel otherwise; it sends a verdict and wakes the UI only when the
answer changes.
- The in-line check (Windows, macOS, web) keeps its short-circuit: it
doesn't open the system clipboard after an in-app copy or without a
document, as before the PR.
- A dead worker hands the check back to the UI thread instead of
freezing the last verdict.
- Dropping the app wakes the worker and waits (250 ms at most) until it
has let go of its clipboard handle: on X11 the last arboard handle
alive hands what the app copied to the clipboard manager, and a
detached worker holding it would lose that handover at exit.
- The factory stays in `Services` until the first frame takes it (no
extra app fields); main.rs installs it with `cfg!(target_os = "linux")`.
- Tests trimmed from five to three that share tests_sysclip's helpers:
the frame never waits on a slow clipboard and only the probe thread
reads it (nothing read without a document), the probe rests after an
in-app copy and lets go of its handle when the app drops, and a dead
probe falls back to the in-line check. The in-line case is already
covered by tests_clipboard.
- ROADMAP (Last updated, Platforms, Shipped so far) and
docs/development.md (Linux: clipboard owners that never answer).
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
`has()` on an X11 clipboard owner that never answers can block for
seconds; the app called it every 0.25 s on the UI thread to decide
whether Paste is enabled, so a stuck owner froze the frame loop (the
window stopped drawing and could not be closed).
`clipboard_probe` owns a second clipboard handle on a worker thread,
publishes its verdict over a channel and wakes the UI only when it
changes; the frame reads the latest verdict without ever blocking.
Without a factory the check stays in line, throttled, exactly as before
(the web shows SVG text only; hosts that don't install one keep the old
path).
The factory is installed on Linux only for now (the environment the bug
reproduces in); other platforms keep the in-line check, so this cannot
change their behaviour.
Tests: a fake clipboard whose `has()` blocks on a gate, a probe factory
sharing a recorder, and a headless frame whose elapsed time is measured.
They assert the frame does not wait on the clipboard and that the check
runs on the probe thread, that the probe's verdict reaches `system_paste`
and the Paste menu, that dropping the app stops the probe, and that the
in-line check (no factory: the web, older hosts) still works.
Reported: Alt-click with the Pen should toggle an anchor between corner and smooth, and the
Control bar had no way to make a corner anchor smooth.
v0.5.0 already has Pen + Alt as the Anchor Point tool (#473) and the Control bar's and the
Properties panel's Convert buttons for direct-selected anchors, the path being drawn included (its
last anchor is selected). The remaining gap: with Direct Selection, the Pen, the Curvature or the
anchor tools, a path selected as a whole shows all its anchors selected, yet the Convert buttons
only appeared once anchors were direct-selected.
- chrome::anchor_controls decides what the Control bar and the Properties panel show: Convert and
Anchors for direct-selected anchors (as before), Convert alone for paths selected as a whole
with a tool that edits anchors (path.convertAnchors already converts every anchor of those);
Remove and Cut still wait for anchors direct-selected, as they act on those only.
- Tests: the Control bar and the Properties panel offer Convert for a whole rectangle with Direct
Selection and the Pen, not with the Selection tool, and smooth converts every corner; Pen + Alt
on the path being drawn makes a smooth anchor a corner (click) and a corner smooth (drag), and
drawing goes on. ROADMAP.

Reported: closing a shape by pressing on the first anchor and dragging out a curve flickered, and
releasing at the wrong moment left the shape open.
The press decided to close (path.close preview), but every move asked again which path was being
drawn: the closing preview leaves the path closed, so no longer one the Pen extends, and the move
fell through to "first anchor of a new path" (a path.create preview), the next move back to a
close of a path that no longer existed in the preview... The release committed whichever was last.
- The press now records what it placed (Place: the anchor, the path it goes on, none for a new
path, and whether it closes it), and the drag only shapes that anchor's handles: a close stays a
close, symmetric by default and Alt breaking the handles, and the release closes the path wherever
it ends. The first anchor of a new path no longer depends on the selection either.
- Tests: tools (the drag sees the closed path), engine (closed throughout a 12-move drag, symmetric
handles at the release), MCP headless pointer_gesture. ROADMAP.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Reported: with the Pen there was no way to edit curves in place as Ctrl does in Illustrator on
Windows (Cmd on the Mac), segments couldn't be grabbed, and the curve-editing tools felt slow and
sometimes didn't take a handle.
- Cmd/Ctrl held at a press with any tool but a selection tool now borrows the selection tool in the
engine (Session::pointer), not in the canvas: the selection tool chosen last, or Direct Selection
for the Pen, Curvature and anchor tools until one is chosen. The tool lent to isn't deactivated,
so the Pen goes on drawing its path after the release while that path stays selected; it no
longer draws on another open path selected meanwhile. Agents reach it with pointer_gesture
mods.cmd. With Cmd held the pointer is the borrowed tool's. Choosing a tool or switching
documents mid-gesture gives the tool back first.
- Pen + Alt over a segment of a selected path reshapes it, as the Anchor Point tool does.
- The handles shown are the handles that drag (one helper for Direct Selection, the Anchor Point
tool and Pen + Alt): Direct Selection now drags the handles of a path selected as a whole (as
the Pen leaves it, so Cmd + drag of a handle while drawing works), the Anchor Point tool no
longer grabs handles that Show handles when multiple anchors are selected hides, the nearest
handle wins, and a handle shorter than the tolerance leaves its anchor to be picked. The anchor
tools pick within Selection & Anchor Display > Tolerance instead of a fixed 4 px.
- path.reshapeSegment keeps a smooth anchor at either end smooth (its other handle turns with the
moved one) instead of kinking it.
- A dragged handle gathered its smart guide targets from the whole document on every pointer move
(21 ms per move on 20,000 paths): HandleSnap now gathers them once per drag (1 ms).
vectorcraft-cli perf measures handle and segment drags on a 5,000-anchor path.
- catalog::is_selection_tool and catalog::edits_anchors replace the UI's own lists.
- Tests in tools, engine and MCP (headless pointer_gesture); docs/mcp.md, control-protocol.md,
ROADMAP.

0.5.0 asked wgpu for the low-power adapter everywhere (#306). On a Linux
desktop whose KDE Wayland compositor runs on an NVIDIA GPU, wgpu sorted the
Ryzen's integrated RADV GPU first: it reports that it can present to the
window, but KWin can't import the buffers it allocates ("importing the
supplied dmabufs failed"), which is a fatal Wayland protocol error. The next
surface configuration then got ERROR_SURFACE_LOST_KHR and egui-wgpu panicked
("The surface isn't supported by this adapter", winit.rs:129).
- Preferences > Performance > Graphics Processor gains Automatic, the new
default: power saving on Windows and macOS as #306 wanted, and on Linux the
system's order, where Mesa's device-select layer puts the GPU the desktop
runs on first. Values are now automatic / lowPower / highPerformance; 0.5.0
saved powerSaving for everyone, which reads as automatic.
- The app picks the window's adapter itself (apps/vectorcraft/src/gpu.rs,
eframe's native_adapter_selector): only adapters that present to the
surface, WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME first, hardware before software, native backends
before OpenGL, then the power preference. Every adapter and the pick are
logged.
- run_native runs under the engine guard. When the graphics fail during the
first frames (a wgpu error, or a panic in wgpu, egui-wgpu or naga), the app
starts again without that adapter (exec on Unix, so an AppImage stays
mounted; a new process on Windows), passing the failed adapters in
VECTORCRAFT_GPU_SKIP, and says so in the status bar. When none is left it
logs why and exits with an error, never a panic.
- docs/development.md, README and ROADMAP: the new default, the restart and
the escape hatches (WGPU_POWER_PREF, WGPU_ADAPTER_NAME, WGPU_BACKEND,
MESA_VK_DEVICE_SELECT, DRI_PRIME).

Nothing could be undocked: the dock's tabs only switched panels, the icon
column only popped its panels out next to it, and only tool flyouts
(#437) could float.
- A dock tab, a panel icon or a popped-out panel's title dragged out of
the dock floats that panel inside the app window; the strip right of
the dock's tabs floats the whole Properties | Layers | Libraries group.
- A floating group moves by its title bar (or the strip right of its
tabs); a tab dragged out of it floats on its own; dropped on another
group's title bar or tabs it stacks with that group; dropped on the
dock, which lights up under the pointer, its panels go back where they
live in the dock (tabbed group or icon column). Its x does the same.
- The Tools panel floats by its title bar or grip and docks again on the
window's left edge, which lights up the same way.
- window.panel.float {panel, x?, y?, onto?, group?} and window.panel.dock
{panel, group?} (panel "tools" for the Tools panel) for the control
channel and MCP; every panel menu ends with Float Panel / Dock Panel;
window.panel on a floating panel shows its tab.
- Floating groups and the Tools panel's position are kept with the
preferences and in user workspaces (built-ins dock everything),
sanitized on load, and clamped into a smaller window when drawn.
- One move state in egui temp memory drives every drag, so a tab torn off
keeps following the pointer; per frame the work is a lookup per panel.
- Icon buttons can be drawn for a caller's response (paint_icon_button),
so the column's icons keep their ids when one above them floats.
- Translations (ja, es, zh-hans, zh-hant; cs and pt-br for the commands),

* Release: Flatpak x86_64/aarch64 bundles, AppImage zsync updates, README Downloads
- New `flatpak` matrix job (ubuntu-24.04 and ubuntu-24.04-arm) repackages each Linux tarball
into vectorcraft-<ver>-linux-<arch>.flatpak via packaging/linux/flatpak-bundle.sh and the
new ai.storyteller.vectorcraft.bundle.yml; packaging-lint keeps its runtime and finish-args
identical to the from-source Flathub manifest.
- AppImages embed gh-releases-zsync update information and ship a .zsync beside them; the
Linux job checks both.
- Jobs that sign nothing (version, linux, flatpak, freebsd, web) leave the `release`
environment, so a branch workflow_dispatch is a dry run; the draft-release job still needs
the signed macOS/Windows jobs.
- README: a Downloads section listing every build; docs/releasing.md updated.

- packaging/macos/dmg/generate.py writes background.tiff and DS_Store on any OS (resvg with
the repo's fonts; ds_store and mac_alias, as dmgbuild uses). Both are byte-reproducible and
carry nothing from the machine that made them.
- DS_Store: same window, icon size, positions and background alias as before, without the
bookmark (pBBk/pBB0) and the alias's disk-image record, which held the author's boot volume
UUID and name, its creation date and temporary paths.
- background.tiff: the same pixels as before (checked), now opaque RGB with Deflate (1.8 MB to
1.0 MB) and LittleCMS's built-in sRGB profile instead of an HP profile with no open licence;
no file names or software tags.
- background.svg: drop an unused pattern and the xlink namespace (renders the same).
- ASSETS.md rows for the three files; README, docs/releasing.md (volume name) and ROADMAP.

The DMG opened as a plain Finder window. It now shows the app icon's figure on
the VectorCraft colour, with VectorCraft.app and the Applications link side by side.
- packaging/macos/dmg/: background (SVG source, 1x + 2x HiDPI TIFF) and the
Finder view settings (DS_Store: window, icon size 128, positions, background).
- package.sh copies them into the staging folder. The image is still built with
hdiutil makehybrid: no mounted device and no Finder scripting on CI.
- The volume name drops the version: .DS_Store finds the background through an
alias that includes the volume name. The DMG file name keeps the version.

The grip at the bar's left end now drags the bar anywhere on the canvas
(grab cursor), which always holds it whole, also when the window shrinks.
Unpinned, the bar keeps that offset as it follows the selection (in the
document it was moved in); the "…" button opens a More Options menu with
Hide Bar, Pin Bar Position (checked while pinned: the bar stays where it
is across selection changes and the handle still moves it; unpinned it
follows the selection again from there), Reset Bar Position (unpinned,
back under the selection) and Show Properties Panel, as in Illustrator.
As there, the position and the pin last for the session only.
- UI commands window.taskBar.pin {pinned?} and window.taskBar.reset, so
the control channel and MCP reach them; ui.inspect reports taskBar
{pinned, rect}.
- One opt_bool helper reads the {key?: bool} params of the toggling window
commands (toolbarColumns, floatTools, collapseDock, taskBar.pin).
- New strings in ja, es, zh-hans, zh-hant, pt-br and cs; the dropped
"Hide Contextual Task Bar" tooltip and per-key es messages removed.
- Headless egui test: dragging the grip moves the bar, the offset follows
the selection, pin holds it across selection changes and a shrinking
window, unpin follows from there, reset restores.

- A press inside a dialog the popped-out panel opened (Swatch Options from its
menu, say), or on a modal dialog's backdrop, put the panel away under the
dialog. The press now counts as away only when it lands on no foreground
layer (the flyout itself, dialogs, palettes) and not on the modal backdrop
(`dialogs::modal::backdrop`), as the popovers decide a click elsewhere.
- A press in the expanded dock's panel group left the flyout open: only the
icon column is spared now (its icons swap or close the flyout themselves),
so a click in another docked panel puts it away, as a click anywhere else in
the workspace does in the reference app.
- The test covers a click in a dialog, on its backdrop and in the docked group.

Preferences › User Interface › Auto-Collapse Iconic Panels was stored
and never read: a panel popped out of the icon column stayed until its
» or its icon. On, a press away from the flyout now puts it away. A
press on the icon column is left to the icons (they swap or close the
flyout on release, so acting on the press would reopen the one being
closed), and a press in a popup the flyout opened (a panel menu, a
dropdown) keeps it. Off by default, as in Illustrator.

The option tells points from picas, where a bare `12` could be either: the
reference app dims it unless a unit is Picas, and it starts on. A number typed
with no unit into a field in picas is now read in points with it on (the
default again, as before #486), and in picas with it off; fields in any other
unit read it in their unit either way, as there. The Preferences dialog dims
the checkbox unless one of the Units is Picas.
The fields learn the preference when it changes, through
`prefs_dialog::apply_runtime` as Scrub Numeric Fields does, rather than from a
write into the egui context every frame. Tests for picas and other fields, the
wiring and the dimming; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP say so.

Preferences › Units › Numbers Without Units Are Points was stored and
never read. On, a number typed with no unit into any length field
(`num_field`, `opt_field`, and so the spin fields built on them) is read
in points whatever the field's unit; a typed unit (`12 mm`, `1in`)
still wins, and the field keeps showing its value in its own unit. The
app sets the frame's rule from the preference in `logic`, the fields
read it through the egui context (`widgets::typed_unit`), so none of
the 45 callers change.
The default flips from true to false, which is Illustrator's default
and the behaviour the fields had while the option was unread.

button (`app.home`) still shows the screen; closing the last document
returns to the empty window. `menus::home_showing` is the one place
that decides, for the canvas and the Home button's lit state.

The wheel did nothing over numeric fields. As in Illustrator, once a numeric
field has the focus, turning the wheel over it steps its value like Up/Down:
a notch a step, Shift ten, Ctrl/Cmd a tenth, applied at once with the new value
selected.
- widgets::step_value (was step_with_arrows) reads the arrows and the wheel
through one path for num_field, plain/mixed fields and the spin fields built
on them (panels, the Control bar, dialogs, the Font Size and Leading combo
boxes), and now opt_field (Stroke dash/gap) too. Trackpad and fine-wheel
points add up to notches; the rest carries to the next turn.
- While the pointer is over the focused field the panel under it doesn't
scroll; an unfocused field, or the pointer anywhere else, leaves the wheel to
the panel and the canvas as before.
- The dialogs' and preferences' egui drag values become the same recessed
number fields (widgets::range_field: clamped to their range, rounded to their
precision), so they type, step and scroll like every other numeric field.
- Headless tests for the wheel (units, modifiers, points, focus and pointer),
and for the panel scrolling or not; docs/control-protocol.md and ROADMAP.

A Shift-drag marquee only ever added to the selection, so there was no way to
take some of the selected objects out with it. As in Illustrator, Shift-drag
now toggles what the marquee reaches: the selected ones are deselected, the
others selected, the rest of the selection stays.
- Selection tool: the Shift marquee runs select.toggle, which now also takes
{ids} (each one toggles).
- Direct Selection and Group Selection: the Shift marquee toggles the anchors
inside it (select.anchorsMany mode "toggle"); a path left with none leaves
the selection, one with all of them is selected whole again.
- select.anchorsMany takes mode "set"|"add"|"toggle"|"subtract" (add: true is
still mode add). Adding anchors of a path selected whole keeps it whole, and
anchor references outside the path are ignored.
- Lasso: Shift adds and Alt subtracts through the same command, so an Alt lasso
no longer drops selected type, groups and other non-path objects.
- Tests at the tool, engine (Session::pointer) and MCP (pointer_gesture) levels,
command sweep cases for the new modes; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP.

Bounding-box resizes with the Selection and Free Transform tools already lined
their edges up with the other objects (#355, after v0.4.0), but a handle never
landed on another object's anchor point, nothing was labelled, and the Rotate,
Scale, Shear and Reflect tools didn't snap their drags at all.
- Targets::snap_scale: the dragged corner (free, or along its diagonal with
Shift) or side lands on the nearest anchor or centre within the snapping
tolerance, labelled "anchor"/"center"; alignment snaps keep their line and
now say "align", as an artboard's resize handle does. Alt (from the centre)
and rotated boxes work the same way.
- The transform tools start a drag from the anchor or centre they grabbed (the
point a click would set) and snap the pointer as drawing tools do (Smart
Guides, the grid, pixels or Snap to Point), so a corner dragged onto another
object's anchor scales exactly onto it.
- Factor the nearest anchor/centre lookup (Targets::nearest_point) and the
transform tools' drag teardown (end_drag).

Pens on KDE Plasma 6.3+ under Wayland don't reach the app: winit 0.30 binds no
Wayland tablet protocol (zwp_tablet_v2), and since Plasma 6.3 KWin no longer
emulates pointer input for such clients (kwin!6336), so the pen moves KWin's own
cursor while the window gets no motion or presses. The fix is upstream (winit
0.31's tablet input, winit#4318, once eframe moves to it). docs/development.md
and the README give the workarounds: run under XWayland (WAYLAND_DISPLAY=), or
set KWIN_WAYLAND_EMULATE_TABLET=1 for the session.
On our side, a pen or finger (winit Touch, emulated as a mouse by egui-winit)
lifts with an egui PointerGone in the same frame. A tap whose press and lift
arrived in one frame had no hover position, so the canvas ignored it, and a
drag ending without a pointer position ended at the canvas's centre. The press
and double-tap now fall back to the interact position, and the release to the
last position seen during the drag. Headless frame tests replay the events a
pen produces: a stroke with pressure reaching Use Pressure Pen, and a one-frame
tap that selects without moving (fails without the fix).
ROADMAP: Last updated, the Platforms row, the hardening gap and the graphics
processor/input bullet (pen pressure reaches the tools on Windows only).

The pixel grid draws through the document grid's `grid()`, which assumed an
unrotated view: with Rotate View its lines stayed upright on screen, in the
wrong places, or vanished. It now spans the box round the canvas's corners in
document space and draws each line through the view, so the pixel grid and
the document grid (lines and dots) turn with the art. The lines are iterated
rather than collected, capped, and computed by multiplication instead of
accumulating a step.

Preferences › Guides & Grid › Show Pixel Grid (Above 600% Zoom) was stored and

pixels the art rasterizes to can be seen; nothing below 600%, out of Pixel
Preview, or with the option off. Drawn by the same `grid()` as the document
grid, at a 1 pt spacing.
A headless frame test counts the pixel grid's lines at 800%, 500% and 600%, in
and out of Pixel Preview and with the option off, and checks they are drawn
over the art.

canvas's cache key, so changing it re-renders. Exports keep their own
Anti-aliasing option.
A headless frame test reads the art's raster back out of the frame's texture
upload: edge pixels partly covered with the option on, none off, and smooth
again once it is back on.

- Type is picked on the baseline of any of its lines (point type and area
type, besides area type's frame), as in Illustrator, not only the first
one: the layout's baselines are cached with its bounds
(`TextObject::cached_baselines`, from `TextLayout::baselines`), with the
first one across the bounds as the fallback. Vertical type's runs down
each column's centre line.
- Type in perspective is picked where it is drawn (through its projection).
- The bounds rule type out before its path is built, so hovering stays
free of allocations away from type.
- The Type tools still edit type clicked among its characters (they made
new type there with the preference on), and the Eyedropper still samples
it there, as it does inside fills with Object Selection by Path Only.
- Tests for all of it; docs/mcp.md and ROADMAP say so.

Preferences › Type › Type Object Selection by Path Only was stored and never read.
On, the Selection tools pick type on its type path only — point type's baseline
(the line the selection marks under it, across its layout's width), area type's
frame, type on a path's path — within the selection tolerance; a click among the
glyphs or inside the frame selects nothing. Off (the default), anywhere in the
type's bounds selects it, as before.
`HitOptions` gains `type_path_only`, set by the tools' context (`hit_options()`)
and the canvas's `hit_at` from the preference, so the Selection tools, Cmd-click
behind, object highlighting and the context menu agree. Tests at the hit-test
level (point, area and on-path type) and through the Selection tool with
`prefs.set`.
