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.

Eight raster effects on the pixel-filter pipeline
(vectorcraft_effects::pixel::brushstrokes), under a new Effect › Brush
Strokes submenu between Blur and Distort in the Raster Effects section:
- Accented Edges (edgeWidth pt 1..14, default 2; edgeBrightness 0..50,
38; smoothness 1..15, 5): the edges of the softened object painted
towards white chalk at high brightness or black ink at low brightness;
Smoothness also leaves the faint edges out. The shape stays as it was.
- Angled Strokes (directionBalance 0..100, 50; strokeLength pt 3..50, 15;
sharpness 0..10, 3): light areas in right diagonal strokes, dark areas
in left diagonal ones; 0 makes every stroke a left diagonal, 100 every
stroke a right diagonal. Sharpness brings detail and bristles back.
- Crosshatch (strokeLength pt 3..50, 9; sharpness 0..20, 6; strength
1..3, 1): the detail kept under pencil hatching along both diagonals,
Strength passes of it, the edges roughened.
- Dark Strokes (balance 0..10, 5; blackIntensity 0..10, 6;
whiteIntensity 0..10, 2): short strokes towards black in the dark
areas, long strokes towards white in the light areas.
- Ink Outlines (strokeLength pt 1..50, 4; darkIntensity 0..50, 20;
lightIntensity 0..50, 10): black outlines over the edges, ink hatching
in the shadows, shadows darkened and highlights lightened.
- Spatter (sprayRadius pt 0..25, 10; smoothness 1..15, 5): each pixel
shifted by noise up to 0.4 x the radius; Smoothness makes the grains
larger and smoother.
- Sprayed Strokes (strokeLength pt 0..20, 12; sprayRadius pt 0..25, 7;
strokeDirection Right Diagonal, Horizontal, Left Diagonal or Vertical):
strokes along the direction, scattered by up to 0.3 x the radius.
- Sumi-e (strokeWidth pt 3..15, 10; strokePressure 0..15, 2; contrast
0..40, 16): wet strokes, ink bleeding from the darks along paper
fibres, more ink with pressure and an S-curve contrast for rich blacks.
It works in value only: hues and saturation stay, and so does the
object's shape (no fringe in the transparency).
A stroke averages the colour along a segment through the pixel (16
samples at most, the art softened first when they lie more than a pixel
apart); strokes lie in rows around the object's centre, each row
starting at random and each stroke shifted along itself, with streaked
noise for the bristles. Everything is in document space, so the effects
look the same at any zoom or resolution, move with the object and draw
the same every time; outsets and reaches are exact. On a 2000 x 2000
raster in release the slowest settings take 0.3-2.0 s (Crosshatch at
50 pt with 3 passes the most).
Shared helpers instead of copies: edges::sobel (Glowing Edges now uses
it, unchanged), distort::displace and texture::Tones are pub(super).
Catalogue rows with parameter docs, menu entries, Sprayed Strokes'
direction dropdown, translations (de, es, fr, it, ja, ru, uk, zh-hans,
zh-hant; menu labels in cs and pt-br), tests (parameters and clamping,
outsets and reaches, each filter and option showing, chalk and ink on
the edges only, shadows and rich blacks, Sumi-e keeping the shape and
hues, hatching keeping the tone, strokes smearing along their direction,
Spatter's radius, resolution and move invariance, canvas, multithreaded,
PDF and SVG, the command sweep with junk parameters, the menu) and
ROADMAP.

The Revolve dialog and gizmo strings in German (the catalog landed after
this branch was written), with Kreiseln and Aussehen umwandeln as the
catalog already names them. Intensity, which main's Texture filters
added meanwhile, is kept once per catalog. README's missing list says
what 3D still lacks beyond the initial Revolve.

Review of #761 turned up three real defects and a feature that was visible
but not usable. All of it is fixed here, each defect with a regression test
that fails without the fix.
- A binding outlived the object it named. Deleting art left its entry in
`variables.bindings` forever: it counted as a skip in every dataset
application, `variable.list` counted it, and the saved file grew with every
delete. `Document::prune_variable_bindings` now lets them go after each
edit, as `prune_assets` does for Asset Export's.
- `Variables::prune` cleared `active_dataset` by comparing it against the
*variable* names being deleted. A dataset named like a variable lost its
active state when the variable went. The two are separate namespaces; the
block is gone (dataset.delete already did it right).
- `variable.delete` reported the number of names asked for, not the number
deleted, so deleting a name that was not there still said `deleted: 1`.
- `dataset.set` (new): a dataset's values could only be set when it was
created, so changing one meant deleting and rebuilding the row — losing its
place in the list and the active one. This replaces the row's values and
reports what it dropped.
- Window › Variables, and dialogs for the "…" commands. Every command had an
empty menu path and the command palette runs those with `{}`, so nothing
could be defined from the UI at all. The commands now carry their menu
path, the "…" ones open a Variables dialog (a name and a kind; a name and a
field per variable, its kind's editor), and `dataset.set` opens with the
row's own values.
- Locked art is neither bound nor rewritten by a dataset, and says so.
- `set_plain_text` told a node that existed but was not type that it was
missing.
- The panel had Document Info's icon, so the two were indistinguishable in
the collapsed column; it gets its own, plus New/Delete buttons, and its
rows say what their count is.
Format round trips now cover variables (the testkit fixture defines both
kinds, binds them and applies a row), and ROADMAP/README no longer list the
feature as missing.
cargo xtask ci: all 7 steps pass.
Add the German catalog: every menu string, every `tl!` literal, the plural
forms and the status and error messages (3,818 rows), written from the meaning
of the English labels in the vocabulary German-speaking users of vector
illustration software know (Zeichenfläche, Farbfelder, Kontur, Fläche, Pfad,
Ankerpunkt, Ebene, Verlauf, Deckkraft). Conventions are in the header of
`de.tsv`.
- Register `de` ("Deutsch") in `i18n::LANGUAGES` as a complete language; every
`de-*` locale (`de-DE`, `de-AT`, `de-CH` …) resolves to it.
- Tests: German joins the menu-label, menu-string, `tl!`-literal and message
coverage checks; `german_reads_as_german` pins the core vocabulary, the
plurals, a nested message, the joined "…format" style names and the theme
context ("Erscheinungsbild" vs the Appearance panel's "Aussehen"); ä ö Ä Ö ß
are checked in the bundled UI fonts. The "unsupported locale" cases use
Dutch now that German is supported.
- README, ROADMAP and docs/development.md list German.

vectorcraft-cli mcp and vectorcraft --control take the flags PhotoCraft
takes. While roots are in force, every path a command reads (open, place,
relink, SVG image links, library and profile loads, plug-ins, preset
imports, font searches) must lie inside the read root and every path it
writes (save, export, package, Export for Screens and for Web, print to
file, captures, library saves) inside the write root. Paths are made
absolute, links are followed (a missing file's nearest folder's), and the
result is compared by whole components, ignoring case on Windows; `..`
below a missing folder, dangling links and device names are refused. A
root left out grants none of its access; without the flags nothing
changes.
The checks live in one place, vectorcraft_engine::file_access, consulted
by the engine's file helpers and the app's file services. The headless
server confines its whole process; the app confines control requests,
the frames carrying input they inject and the background saves they
start, leaving the person at the keyboard and the app's own folders
alone. The screenshot tool now has the backend write its file.

French now sits between Spanish and Italian (es, fr, it, ru): the

Add fr.tsv with the full interface coverage: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the plurals and the status/error messages (@msg).
Registered as complete_menus with the French plural rule (0 and 1 are
singular); every fr-* locale (fr-FR, fr-BE, fr-CA, fr-CH …) resolves
to it. Keeps the product, workspace and perspective preset names in
English like the other complete catalogs.
Tests: french_reads_as_french; fr added to KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and
COMPLETE_MESSAGES; the Latin-script glyph test covers French letters
and the no-break space; locale tests use de-DE as the unsupported case.
Clean-room: written from the meaning of the English labels in the
vocabulary French-speaking users of vector illustration software know
(Plan de travail, Nuancier, Contour, Fond, Tracé, Calque). No other

Tests: russian_reads_as_russian, russian_plurals_have_three_forms,
russian_glyphs_are_available_without_system_fonts; ru added to
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and COMPLETE_MESSAGES.
Clean-room: written from the meaning of the English labels in the

Open and Place read Affinity documents natively (.af from Affinity 3,
.afdesign/.afphoto/.afpub from Affinity 1 and 2): layers and sublayers,
groups, artboards with their names and backgrounds, Publisher pages side
by side, curves with live corners, parametric shapes, compound shapes,
clipping by nesting, vector and pixel masks, solid and gradient fills,
strokes, fill layers, artistic and frame text, placed images (their
original JPEG/PNG), pixel layers, embedded documents as their cached
picture, opacity, visibility, locking and blend modes, at the document's
resolution in points. Unsupported content (effects, adjustments, brushes,
master pages, special shapes, Affinity-only blend modes...) is listed in
the import warning, one line per kind. A file whose native data can't be
read opens as its embedded preview with the reason, and that preview
cannot be placed or used as a template or library. Save never writes back
over the Affinity file and there is no Affinity export.
The document semantics were fitted to the thumbnails Affinity embeds in
176 public documents. `cargo xtask corpus --affinity` fetches 22 public
CC0/MIT/Apache-2.0 documents at pinned commits, sha256-verified; the new
engine test renders each and compares it with Affinity's own thumbnail
(0-4.4 of 255 mean difference, per-file ceilings). import_fuzz mutates a
synthetic native document's stream and container through open, render
and export; the fuzz crate gains a stream target.

es.tsv's order) covering every menu string, every tl! literal, the
plurals and every status/error message, at the same scope as Spanish.
Standard Italian in sentence case, written clean-room from the meaning

language names stay in English as in es and ja.
Registered as "Italiano" with the one/other plural rule and
complete_menus; every it-* locale resolves to it. Tests: it joins
KEEPS_MENU_NAMES and COMPLETE_MESSAGES, italian_reads_as_italian checks
vocabulary and plurals, tags_map_to_languages the locale tags, and the

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).

* 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.

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).

Adds a Spanish catalog (crates/ui-egui/src/i18n/es.tsv) covering the whole
interface like Japanese and Traditional Chinese: every menu string, every
tl! literal, the hint-bar fragments, plurals and the runtime strings the
other complete catalogs carry. It is written from the meaning of the
English labels in neutral, international Spanish (Latin American usage)
with the vocabulary users of vector illustration software know (Mesa de
trabajo, Muestras, Trazo, Relleno, Trazado, Pluma, Selección directa,
Buscatrazos, Motivo, Preajuste); no other application's localisation was
copied. Like Japanese it keeps the product, OpenType, the built-in
workspace names and the perspective grid preset names in English.
The language is registered with complete_menus (so the completeness
tests enforce it) and the one/other plural rule; every es-* system locale
(es-ES, es-MX, es-AR, es-419 ...) resolves to it.
Tests: es locale tags, Spanish vocabulary and plurals, Spanish letters in
the bundled UI fonts, and a new check that catalogs written with spaces
keep the leading/trailing spaces of joined fragments. ROADMAP, README and
docs/development.md list the language.

- Drop the workspace [patch.crates-io] and restore windows-link's crates.io
source and checksum in Cargo.lock, so every normal build keeps the
checksum-verified crate. windows7.ps1 now applies vendor/windows-link with
--config, checks that only windows-link's lock entry moved, builds and tests
with --locked, checks the patched crate is the one in use, and restores
Cargo.lock afterwards.
- windows7.yml runs on demand and weekly instead of on every PR, pins every
action by commit SHA, and leaves the dependency check and host tests to the

Illustrator sets a paragraph's direction (Left-to-Right / Right-to-Left
Paragraph Direction in the Paragraph panel, with the Middle Eastern
options) and keeps its alignment buttons physical; it has no automatic
alignment toggle. So:
- ParaStyle.direction (None: from each paragraph's first strong
character, as before; written only when set), the Paragraph panel's two
direction buttons with Show Indic Options (original icons), and
text.setFormat {direction: "auto"|"leftToRight"|"rightToLeft"}. The
layout uses it as the base direction.
- The Automatic alignment check box is gone. Justify::Auto stays as the
start of the paragraph's direction, set on new type only (text.create,
the Type tools, with the mojikumi default in one new_type_para()):
TextObject::point is Left again, so importers (PDF, SVG, DXF, EMF) keep
their own alignment. The alignment buttons show what Auto resolves to.
- Bidi only where there is something right to left: plain paragraphs skip
the algorithm (no per-layout allocation), it runs once per paragraph
(shaping takes the paragraph's levels instead of recomputing them; path
type computed it four times), and the shaper keeps Han, Hiragana,
Katakana and Bopomofo in one segment (splitting at every change of
script cost Japanese text a shaper call per kana-kanji switch).
- Vertical type keeps its logical order, so its glyphs and lines are not
marked right to left (the caret no longer runs backwards down a column).
- PDF import puts Hebrew and Arabic, which PDFs (and VectorCraft's own
export) draw in visual order, back in logical order with the direction
that shows it as drawn; with bidi layout it came back mirrored.
- SVG import pins the direction SVG implies (left to right unless
direction: rtl); SVG export also outlines right-to-left paragraphs.
- Docs (development.md), ROADMAP (folded into the Type entry, Type core
row) and README updated; catalog rows for the new labels.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
- Unicode bidi (unicode-bidi, unicode-script, unicode-general-category):
each paragraph's direction from its first strong character, Hebrew and
Arabic shaped right to left, embedded Latin and numbers keep theirs,
lines wrapped in logical order and reordered per line by whole
clusters; source text, undo and style ranges stay logical.
- Caret, hit testing, selection and the arrow keys follow the visual
order.
- New text aligns automatically: right-to-left paragraphs right, others
left (Justify::Auto, text.setStyle {justify: "auto"}); the Paragraph
panel highlights the resolved alignment and has an Automatic alignment
toggle. Explicit alignments, and older documents', are kept.
- SVG export outlines bidirectional text (with a warning) until it can
be written as directional live text.
- Five app screenshots retaken from the current build at 2240x1400 (UI at
1.6x): the hero shows the Outer Glow settings in the Appearance panel, the
Live Blends shot shows the new Layers panel rows, and a new shot shows a
two-point Perspective Grid scene (examples/perspective-city.vectorcraft,
built through the command API).
- "A look around" is a 2x2 grid; captions and alt texts follow the shots.
- The "Made in VectorCraft" art is re-rendered with vectorcraft-cli (the
radial Repeat's gradients now turn with each instance).
- Every image is losslessly optimised with oxipng (7.2 MB -> 4.4 MB,
pixel-identical).
- ASSETS.md rows for the new screenshot and example.

On hybrid-graphics laptops (an integrated GPU driving the display plus a
discrete one), egui-wgpu's default power preference is HighPerformance, so
VectorCraft rendered on the discrete GPU and its frames were copied to the
display through the integrated one. On an Asus ZenBook with Intel Iris + Arc
the window flickered whenever the mouse moved over it (#306, #305).
The canvas is rasterized on the CPU (vello_cpu) and the GPU only composites
the canvas texture and draws the UI, so the integrated GPU is plenty. The
desktop app now asks wgpu for the power-saving adapter by default.
Single-GPU machines are unaffected.
- Preferences > Performance > Graphics Processor (`gpuPreference`:
powerSaving, the default, or highPerformance), with a note that it
applies after a restart. The app reads it from the saved preferences
before the window opens. WGPU_POWER_PREF still overrides it.
- Help > About and `ui.inspect` (`graphicsAdapter`) name the adapter in
use, and it is logged at startup, for future GPU bug reports.
- Docs (README, docs/development.md) and ROADMAP updated.

release.yml's comments sent readers to docs/releasing.md, which never
existed: the workflow was ported from a sibling app without its document.
docs/releasing.md now covers how a release is cut (version bump with

with a version override), what each job builds and how (macOS universal
signing and notarization, Windows x64/x86/arm64 with the PE checks and the
two signing options, Linux packages and the glibc 2.35 floor behind the
ubuntu-22.04 runners, FreeBSD in a VM, the web build, craft-fonts), the

Regular only) as vectorcraft_text::CRAFT_FONTS; unset, it is empty and Japanese falls back to the

discovery. Release and FreeBSD CI builds check craft-fonts out at a pinned commit; packages carry

compatibility "1.3" writes a %PDF-1.3 file (its XMP metadata says 1.3
too) without transparency: a copy of the document is flattened first
with flattenerPreset (stored with PDF presets; empty is High Resolution)
and the flattener options over it, see-through image pixels counting as
transparency and rasterized areas clipped to their regions so no soft
mask is needed. Page groups are left out and the writer refuses a file
that would still have transparency. PDF/X-1a and PDF/X-3 share this
path (their version is now PDF 1.3; 1.4 is still accepted and written
as 1.3), and with it the preset, the header and metadata code and the
transparency check. Passwords at PDF 1.3 encrypt with 40-bit RC4
(revision 2). The Save PDF dialog lists PDF 1.3 and picks the flattener
preset under Advanced.

- ROADMAP: a new "Honest assessment (2026-10-05)" section with:
- scores by dimension (breadth, depth, large missing subsystems, interaction
fidelity, look and feel, file interop, bundled content, performance,
robustness, platforms, automation) and how far to trust the self-graded scores;
- the prioritized gap list with one-agent hour sizes;
- the direction (next, then, alongside, 1.0).
- ROADMAP: the parity rows for files, export, print, links and UI chrome are
re-derived after M4 (feature parity ~74% on the rubric, 68–74% honest range;
~230–350 h to feature parity, ~335–520 h to full parity, one agent), the M4 and
M11 milestone rows and the inventories are updated, and "Shipped so far" lists M4
and the robustness work.
- README Status: where we are, what's missing, where we're going.
- AGENTS.md / CLAUDE.md: sessions start from the gap list; landing a task updates
the assessment, the parity row and the README status in the same PR.

Shipped code no longer unwraps, expects or panics: every one of the 124
unwrap()/expect()/panic!/unreachable! sites outside tests now handles the
failure (Result/Option, ?, let-else, defaults) and reports errors to the user.
- Lints: workspace clippy denies unwrap_used, expect_used, panic, todo,
unimplemented and unreachable; clippy.toml allows them in tests, and
integration tests, examples and testkit opt out explicitly.
- Safety net (vectorcraft_engine::guard): a panic in a top-level command rolls
the document back and returns EngineError::Internal; a panicking tool is
reset; the MCP server answers with an internal error and keeps serving; the
UI frame and each control request are guarded.
- APIs that hid failures now return them: Rendered::to_png/to_jpeg/to_webp
return Result (JPEG/WebP errors used to write empty files),
FontDb::face returns Option, Region::top returns Option.
- Fuzzing: engine/tests/import_fuzz.rs feeds garbage, hostile and mutated SVG
and PDF through import → render → export (30k cases locally, no panics).
- Docs: AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md rule, docs/development.md "Robustness" section,
README pointer and a PR template checklist.

ROADMAP: the M3 row lists what landed (swatches, colour picker and panel,
proxy commands, gradient transforms and annotator, stroke geometry, dotted
lines, arrowheads, appearance targeting, mask reach, clipping by any shape)
and what is pending; a "Paint and appearance" block in Shipped so far; the
colour, stroke and appearance parity rows and the totals re-derived from the
detailed M3 plan, calibrated on its first wave; the reference app is no longer
named. README: the open/export formats from the shared loader and the vendor
name step of cargo xtask ci.

Adds LICENSE-MIT, LICENSE-APACHE and docs/brand/LICENSE-brand.txt from the Crafting Apps
licensing standard. NOTICE follows the standard template (copyright, licence, brand carve-out)
and keeps the third-party list, now noting the Feather-derived Lucide icons (also MIT) and the
egui default fonts compiled into the app. ASSETS.md gives the docs/brand/ files their trademark
terms and marks the 21 Feather-derived Lucide icons. README uses the standard License and credits
section; AGENTS.md/CLAUDE.md point to the licence and brand files.
