Painting looked up each selected object's graph by walking up through
parent_of, a search of the whole document per level, so a fill or stroke
change on a large selection grew with the square of the document. The
series art of every graph is now mapped in one pass, and documents with
no graph skip the lookup.
A series index comes from the file: one past the graph's series grew the
graph's series paints to that length. Such a group is no longer taken
for a series.

Group Selection's fill and stroke on a graph series are kept on the graph,
separately per series, and reapplied when its data, type or size changes,
and through save, open and undo.
Effect › Distort & Transform › Transform… was a plain list of fields.
It now has Transform Each's layout: Scale and Move with sliders, Rotate
with an angle dial, then Copies, Reflect X and Y, the reference point and
Random, kept with the effect so editing it from the Appearance panel
shows them again.
- The effect scales, rotates and reflects about the chosen point of the
9-point grid (`reference`, the centre by default).
- Random takes a share of each value, drawn from the object's id: each
object varies its own way and keeps its result on every redraw; a
group's members move together.
- Copies stop before one reaches past 1e9 pt, and the scale and move are
capped, so large values can't overflow.
- Transform Each and the effect share the sections and options code; the
angle dial is a new widget.
- A plain number field now takes the focus when it is a dialog's first
field, so both dialogs open with Scale › Horizontal ready for typing.
Transform Objects, Transform Patterns and Scale Strokes & Effects are not
in the effect yet: the geometry effects reshape paths only.

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.

Display Print Size at 100% Zoom divided an assumed 96 pixels per inch by
the display's scale factor, so on a scaled display (150%, Retina) a
document inch came out a fraction of an inch. Nothing measures the
screen's real density, so an inch is now 96 screen points, the reference
density display scaling is set against, at any scale factor. The unused
screen_ppi and pixels_per_point fields go.

The Profile menu's preview drew a stroke's width profile assuming its
widths stay within the stroke weight. A profile made with the Width tool
can be many times wider, so its silhouette spilled over the Stroke panel.
It is now scaled to the preview by its widest point and clipped to it.

A number field with a spinner and a preset list (stroke weight, font
size, leading…) was three boxes side by side: the field came out a
point taller than the spinner and the chevron, and each joint had two
borders. The field is now exactly as tall as the other controls of a
row, with its text centred, and the three parts share their borders.
num_field draws its box with the panel text fields' code instead of a
copy of it.

Double-clicking a tool's button (or tool.options {tool}) now also opens:
- Artboard tool: Artboard Options of the active artboard (the Artboard
tool's while it is in use, else the window's);
- the graph tools: Graph Type for the selected graph (an error without
one), the dialog Object > Graph > Type opens;
- the Symbolism tools: Symbolism Tools Options with the brush the eight
tools share (Diameter, Intensity, Symbol Set Density);
- Magic Wand: the Magic Wand panel.
The Object > Graph dialogs' opener is shared with the toolbar. The new
labels are translated in the eight complete catalogs.

The Flare tool keeps its options (Center: Diameter, Opacity, Brightness;
Halo: Growth, Fuzziness; Rays: on/off, Number, Longest, Fuzziness; Rings:
on/off, Path, Number, Largest, Direction) as persistent tool options,
saved with the preferences. The next flare dragged out uses them (the drag
still sets the centre and diameter, and Up/Down the ray count), a click
with the tool opens them filled in, and double-clicking the tool (or
tool.options {tool: "flare"}) opens them to edit: OK keeps them and draws
nothing. Before, the click dialog was the generic parameter form with
fixed defaults and the drag always used the command's defaults.
The new Flare Tool Options dialog lays the four groups out in two
columns; Rays and Rings have their checkboxes, and every value is kept
within its range. Its labels are translated in the eight complete
catalogs.

A selected live polygon now shows Illustrator's Polygon Properties in the
Transform panel and the Properties panel's Transform section: side count,
angle, corner type and radius, radius, side length and Make Sides Equal
(enabled once an uneven scale has made its sides differ). Before, only the
side count and corner radius were there.
object.setLiveShape takes polygonAngle (degrees counterclockwise),
polygonRadius and sideLength (points, centre to vertex / side) and
makeSidesEqual, which drops the uneven scale and shear and keeps the
polygon's centre, angle and mean radius. Each call is one undo step; a
radius or length that isn't a number above 0 is an error. A star stays a
plain path, as in Illustrator.

Clicking an object's target circle in the Layers panel always replaced
the selection, so several objects couldn't be picked there. Shift-click
now adds the object (a layer: its art) to the selection, or takes it out
when it is selected already, as in Illustrator; nothing stays targeted
then. layer.target takes add: true for it.

Select › Reselect repeated the last selection command, but a Select Same
command needs a selected object to compare with, so after Deselect it
failed with "nothing selected". Reselect now remembers the objects that
were selected when the command ran and, with nothing selected, takes the
reference from those still in the document.

Double-clicking a brush in the Brushes panel (or the panel menu's Brush
Options…) opens its options. Calligraphic Brush Options: Angle,
Roundness and Size, each Fixed, Random or Pressure with its Variation,
over live previews of the nib and of a stroke. Bristle Brush Options:
Shape and the bristle sliders. OK runs brush.options; strokes painted
with the brush update.
The Paintbrush records the pen pressure along a stroke (path.freehand
takes [x, y, pressure] points), and a Calligraphic brush with Pressure
variation changes its nib along the stroke, from the value less the
variation at the lightest pressure to the value plus it at the heaviest.
Brushes saved before keep their Random variation. Pen pressure doesn't
reach the app on macOS yet (winit 0.30 reports none there).

Dragging anchors with Direct Selection snapped to points, paths and
Smart Guides, but with Shift held the move kept its 45° angle and
snapped to nothing. The grabbed anchor now slides along the constrained
line onto the anchors, paths and alignment lines that cross it, as the
drawing tools' Shift does (counted from General › Constrain Angle).

With General › Zoom with Mouse Wheel, each wheel notch's zoom was
applied on the frame it arrived, so the view jumped a step per notch
while scrolling glides over a few frames. A mouse wheel's notches now
glide in (what is left shrinks by e every 50 ms), ending at the same
zoom; a trackpad's fine steps still apply at once.

On macOS the Open and Save panels ran modally on the UI thread, inside
the window's event handler. Resizing the panel delivered window events
to that handler again, and the app crashed when the mouse was released.
They now open from a thread of their own, as on Linux (#592): rfd runs
the panel on the main thread from the run loop, outside the handler, and
the app picks the answer up when it comes.

The art that goes with an artboard (Duplicate Artboard and Copy/Cut with
art, the Artboard tool's Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard, and moving an
artboard by its X and Y) was found with a half-open containment test, so
an object whose right or bottom edge lay exactly on the artboard's was
left behind. Its edges now count as inside.

The renderer composited in 8-bit integers, so where a partly transparent
anti-aliased edge crossed opaque art (or a background colour) the result
came out at alpha 254 on some pixels, and PNG, TIFF and WebP files were
written with an alpha channel. Raster exports (and Save for Web) now
composite in floating point (vello_cpu's f32 pipeline, enabled as a
feature), offscreen groups, masks and patterns included; the canvas keeps
the faster 8-bit path.

The Curvature tool only edited the path it was drawing. It now edits any
selected path, whatever drew it, keeping its shape except where edited:
a click on a point makes it the current (direct-selected) point and a
drag moves it, re-curving only its two segments (the neighbours keep
their handle directions); Alt-click or double-click toggles it smooth or
corner and Delete removes it; a click on a segment adds a smooth point
without changing the shape, and a drag moves it in the same undo step.
With an end of an open path current, clicks go on from it (the old
segments keep their shape) and a click on the other end closes it.
The edits go through a new path.curvatureEdit command (move, insert,
extend, close), path.convertAnchor and path.removeAnchor, one undo step
each. The tool now claims Delete/Backspace while it has a point to
remove, so the key no longer deletes the whole path.

The ROADMAP's last-updated line names this batch's fixes and the two
community PRs that didn't add themselves (#792, #765); the platforms
paragraph says Windows starts on Direct3D 12 and loads no Vulkan driver
unless asked (#806); the guides row has ruler guides with Smart Guides
on and the hover labels (#812). Window › Swatch Libraries › Other
Library's description lists .acb color books (#831).
