 | Date | What landed |
 |---|---|
+| 2026-10-14 | Corner Radius has a link button in Properties and Transform: unlinked, a live rectangle shows a radius field for each corner (#1682). With the Width tool, double-clicking a stroke opens Width Point Edit to create a width point there, and Shift-double-click on a width point opens it with Adjust Adjoining Width Points ticked (#1814, #1630). Holding Alt while dragging a guide out of a ruler switches it between horizontal and vertical (#1782), and a marquee with the Selection or Direct Selection tool also selects the unlocked ruler guides it crosses (#1836). The Transform panel's, Properties panel's and Control bar's X/Y/W/H show and edit only the anchor points selected with Direct Selection (#1839, fixes #1824). With Snap to Grid on, anchors and objects snap to the grid even when Snap to Pixel is also ticked (#1840; #1816 waits for the reporter). Artboards are deleted the same way from the Artboards panel, its menu, Properties and Delete/Backspace (#1631). The toolbar shows no group labels by default (a preference brings them back) and runs on in one or two columns; the All Tools drawer lists the tools by flyout group with their shortcuts, has a menu (Reset, Basic, Advanced) and a Show section for the Fill/Stroke, Coloring, Draw Mode and Screen Mode controls (#1751). An action clicked in the Actions panel stays selected, so Play Current Selection and Delete Selection act on it (#1853, part of #1629). Redo during a drag keeps the drag as a step (#1856, #1719). Preferences are written as soon as OK is pressed (#1857; #1747 waits for the reporter). Preferences › Appearance of Black › Printing / Exporting and Units › Identify Objects By act (#1750, #1809). The paragraph alignment buttons show none selected for paragraphs with different alignments (#1784); redefining a character style to Auto leading updates the text that uses it and keeps local overrides (#1633); New and Redefine Character Style take the format of the selected text range, also while typing (#1634). Type inside symbols, pattern tiles, graph designs and opacity masks gets its layout bounds back when a native file opens, so warped type in a symbol looks the same after save and reopen (#1833, #1738). Editing, renaming, deleting or merging a global swatch reaches the art of opacity masks (#1830, #1735). macOS: Save As, Save a Copy and the first Save show their sheet again; the sheet's Format menu (#866, reopened) is withdrawn until it can be set before the sheet opens (#1855). |
+| 2026-10-14 | Rendering: copies, symbol instances and repeats that share an appearance keep their stroke outlines between frames (#1667); the canvas no longer reads its whole picture back for each non-isolated group that blends (#1687); envelopes, blends, repeats and meshes redraw when a pattern, symbol, font or colour setting they show changes (#1688); Outline view draws from geometry kept between frames (#1689); CMYK documents with transparency compose their ink planes on several threads (#1755); an edit re-flows a threaded story only when it changes one of the story's frames (#1792); opening a file reads its linked files and lays out its type on the opening thread (#1767). Instances of imported symbols are measured, selected, aligned, culled and exported by their art instead of a 20 pt square (#1744). Export for Screens and the Asset Export panel offer TIFF (#1632). SVG import looks style rules up by id, class and type (#1690), applies `:not()` selectors (#1799, #1557), no longer stalls on stacked descendant selectors over deep nesting (#1834, #1703) and reads linked files within the automation roots again (#1870). DXF export writes the VPORT view direction once (#1789). Untrusted files: nesting is capped at 32 objects in SVG, PDF, EPS and native files and symbols or patterns that use themselves open without the offending instance or paint (#1852); deeply nested PDF and `.ai` data, page trees holding themselves and functions or colour spaces built on themselves (#1871), decompression bombs and impossible predictor parameters (#1873, #1700, #1701), brushes that draw themselves (#1872) and hostile EPS, Affinity and native data (#1863: #1715, #1714, #1704, #1699) no longer crash or exhaust the app; the save fallback keeps the old file until the new one is in (#1695). Files whose ids sit at their largest value, a failed `command.batch`, control requests that timed out and images too large as RGBA for the Eyedropper are handled (#1862: #1718, #1697, #1725, #1717). Effects: wide shadows and glows at high zoom stay within the raster budget, stacked Transform effects are bounded, 3D keeps the area a nonzero compound path fills, pattern tiles redraw when the art they show changes, and a template layer dims its images by Dim Images (#1864: #1706, #1705, #1724, #1723, #1683). A failed save or export is reported in a dialog that names the file and stays until closed (#1865, #1685); a browser download that can't start fails the save (#1693); a file that finishes opening waits while a dialog is open (#1694). krilla's text shaping is no longer built in (#1874, #1730); the CI gate compiles the web app for wasm (#1875). |
 | 2026-10-14 | Image Trace: Shapes finds rounded rectangles and shapes in blurred and scanned art (98 to 100% of the plain-shape inputs, from 57 to 62%; #1845), square-ended lines get square caps (Outline's largest distance 2.94 px to 0.88; #1846), each documented preset has an enhanced version with Auto Grouping and Shapes that measures no worse than the preset (#1847), and blurred or noisy linear gradients trace as one gradient-filled path instead of 3 to 56 (#1848) ([`docs/image-trace-quality.md`](docs/image-trace-quality.md)). No headline number moves. |
 | 2026-10-13 | Synthetic control input has finite click/drag counts and pending-event limits, checked before queue mutation; control-channel bursts yield after 64 requests per frame (#1709). |
 | 2026-10-14 | Align and Distribute act on the anchor points selected with Direct Selection: the points of one path align to each other, not to the artboard, and Distribute spaces them (#1641, fixes #1636; aligning to a key anchor is still missing). Delete removes every selected anchor of a closed path (it used to remove the wrong ones), removes objects selected whole along with the selected anchors of others, and keeps the remainder selected so a second Delete removes it (#1674). In isolation mode Direct Selection and Group Selection pick only inside the isolated object (#1666). Escape cancels a Direct Selection drag (#1803, #1743). Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656). A filled Pencil path keeps a stroke of None (#1804, part of #1679). With the Pen, a press that moves under 3 screen pixels is a click (a corner without handles), and a Precise Cursors command toggles the existing preference and can take a shortcut (#1663). The [ and ] keys reach the Blob Brush, the Eraser and the Symbolism tools in the app (#1734, part of #1661). In the Pathfinder panel a group selected alone counts its nested shapes, so an expanded stroked object keeps the Shape Modes enabled (#1642, #1635). Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756). Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737). Fields commit what was typed when you click away or move to another field, as Enter does; Escape still discards it (#1787). Up and Down move through the command search results and Enter runs the highlighted one (#1798, #1757). Slider rails show on Medium Dark (#1808, #1662). On Windows the custom title bar's window stays truly borderless, so the pointer lines up with what is drawn on systems where the hidden caption offset it (#1791, #1758; awaiting the reporter's confirmation). Tool cursors are painted into the window on Wayland (#1652; not run on Linux, #1645 stays open until confirmed). Roughen with Smooth keeps turn-backs smooth instead of making cusps that draw as spikes (#1646, #1643). Scribble draws one zig-zag per region, with no lines across holes and notches; convex shapes are unchanged (#1651, #1648). EPS import: a stitched shading keeps its hard colour changes (#1654, #1653). WMF/EMF import refuses an oversized embedded PNG or JPEG from its header, before any pixels are decoded (#1776). PDF open no longer takes exponential time on a crafted name tree with shared nodes when it looks for the editing data (#1781). The size limits on a native file's embedded data also apply to files read from memory, not only streamed ones (#1783). Saving over a private file on Unix no longer leaves a readable temporary copy beside it while the file is written (#1778). An Export for Screens suffix can no longer place files outside the export folder (#1777). Package refuses a folder where it would overwrite the open document or one of its linked files (#1786). ruzstd 0.9.1 fixes a decompression bomb (RUSTSEC-2026-0344) reachable from EPS/`.ai` and Affinity import (#1807). File Info dates are stamped only after a save succeeds, so a failed save no longer changes them (#1774). Linked files that change during a drag are updated after the drag instead of being missed (#1773). Scatter graph data near the largest number is refused with a message instead of hanging the app (#1780). One very long Liquify stroke segment can no longer create an unbounded number of dabs (#1779). A drag whose last preview failed is no longer recorded as a committed command in the journal that actions and scripts read (#1775). Tests: text import fuzzing no longer searches installed fonts (#1785). Tests: render tests that add fonts no longer race the frame cache tests (#1795). `text.create`, `text.createInPath` and the MCP `add_text` tool take `justify`, so point type can be centred on or end at its point (#1752, #1748). Control replies are written through a 64 KiB buffer: a 10 MB `document.inspect` reply over loopback on Windows takes 0.25 s instead of 36 s (#1684). MCP limits: 16 MiB lines, 64-message batches, 256-step `command_batch` with 8 MiB of kept results and 256 MiB control replies (#1764, fixes #1727). MCP requires the JSON-RPC 2.0 envelope and matches control replies by id, and an app refusal without an id reports the app's reason (#1768, fixes #1728). The MCP server reconnects to the app before a call when the connection was closed or holds stray bytes, after an app restart or an idle expiry (#1739). Image Trace, measured in `image-trace-quality.md`: snap Curves To Lines moves no end of a line by more than 1.6 px, so long lines a degree or two off stay as the image has them (#1647: Technical Drawing's largest distance 4.21 px to 1.46); flat Logo takes the tones a scan's uneven paper makes of one colour for one colour (#1657: on scans 470 paths and 21 px off to 8.5 paths and 0.09 px).

   - Import and export, later 2026-10-13 merges: SVGs that move objects with a CSS transform (`translate(100px, 0)`, `rotate(45deg)`) or style type with the `font` shorthand import as drawn (#1565); SVG symbols whose shapes use percentage lengths import at the size and place they are drawn, the percentages being of the symbol's `viewBox` (#1596); Inkscape's flowed text (`flowRoot`) opens as area type in its rectangle, a paragraph per `flowPara`, instead of being dropped, and a region that can't be read is left out with a warning (#1569, fixes #1568); the warning for an unsupported SVG filter names the filter, its primitives and the object, and says the object is drawn without it (#1599, fixes #1598); the pages of an Inkscape multi-page SVG become artboards, named by their labels (#1603, fixes #1601); SVG export with CSS classes or style entities stays fast in documents with many distinct styles (#1567); PDF and `.ai` import: evenly letter-spaced or tightened type on a path keeps its length along the path instead of closing up to the font's advances (#1586), and type on a path whose stroke is written glyph by glyph comes in as one text object with its stroke, not one object per glyph (#1585); the ICC profiles embedded in JPEG, TIFF and PSD exports have every tag on a 4-byte boundary (ICC.1 §7.1.2), so strict readers accept them (#1589, fixes #1584); GIF, PNG-8 and other indexed exports find each pixel's palette colour through an index instead of a scan, with identical output (#1576); a zero-length subpath draws its round cap as a dot and its projecting cap as a square, so dots in imported `.ai` and SVG files show (#1619, fixes #1613).
   - Files and untrusted input, 2026-10-14 merges: EPS import: a stitched shading keeps its hard colour changes (#1654, #1653). WMF/EMF import refuses an oversized embedded PNG or JPEG from its header, before any pixels are decoded (#1776). PDF open no longer takes exponential time on a crafted name tree with shared nodes when it looks for the editing data (#1781). The size limits on a native file's embedded data also apply to files read from memory, not only streamed ones (#1783). Saving over a private file on Unix no longer leaves a readable temporary copy beside it while the file is written (#1778). An Export for Screens suffix can no longer place files outside the export folder (#1777). Package refuses a folder where it would overwrite the open document or one of its linked files (#1786). ruzstd 0.9.1 fixes a decompression bomb (RUSTSEC-2026-0344) reachable from EPS/`.ai` and Affinity import (#1807). File Info dates are stamped only after a save succeeds, so a failed save no longer changes them (#1774). Linked files that change during a drag are updated after the drag instead of being missed (#1773).
 - **Fields, search and window, 2026-10-14 merges:** Fields commit what was typed when you click away or move to another field, as Enter does; Escape still discards it (#1787). Up and Down move through the command search results and Enter runs the highlighted one (#1798, #1757). Slider rails show on Medium Dark (#1808, #1662). On Windows the custom title bar's window stays truly borderless, so the pointer lines up with what is drawn on systems where the hidden caption offset it (#1791, #1758; awaiting the reporter's confirmation).
+- **Tools, panels and type, later 2026-10-14 merges:** the Transform panel's, Properties panel's and Control bar's X, Y, W and H show and edit the bounds of the anchor points selected with Direct Selection, and a whole-object selection is unchanged (#1839, fixes #1824). With Snap to Grid on, anchors and objects snap to the grid even when Snap to Pixel is also ticked: the grid wins (#1840; #1816 stays open until the reporter confirms). A marquee with the Selection or Direct Selection tool also selects the unlocked ruler guides it crosses (#1836). The toolbar shows no group labels by default (a preference brings them back) and runs on in one or two columns; the All Tools drawer lists the tools by flyout group with their shortcuts, has a menu (Reset, Basic, Advanced) and a Show section for the Fill/Stroke, Coloring, Draw Mode and Screen Mode controls (`toolbar.show`, #1751). An action clicked in the Actions panel stays selected, so Play Current Selection and Delete Selection act on it (#1853, part of #1629; editing actions and action shortcuts remain). Redo pressed during a drag keeps the drag as a step instead of losing the redone edit (#1856, #1719). Preferences are written as soon as OK is pressed, so they survive a session that doesn't end with a normal quit (#1857; #1747 stays open until the reporter confirms). New and Redefine Character Style take the format of the selected text range, also while typing (#1634). Type inside symbols, pattern tiles, graph designs and opacity masks gets its layout bounds back when a native file opens, so warped type in a symbol looks the same after save and reopen (#1833, #1738). Editing, renaming, deleting or merging a global swatch reaches the art of opacity masks, and a swatch used only in a mask is no longer listed as unused (#1830, #1735). On macOS, Save As, Save a Copy and the first Save show their sheet again; the Format menu on the sheet (#866) is withdrawn until the format can be set before the sheet opens, and #866 is open again (#1855; #1800, #1831 and #1518 stay open until confirmed on a Mac).
+- **Files and untrusted input, later 2026-10-14 merges:** SVG import applies style sheet rules with `:not()` selectors, with their nesting bounded (#1799, #1557), no longer stalls on a style sheet with many stacked descendant selectors over deep nesting (#1834, #1703), and reads an SVG's linked files within the automation roots in force again (#1870). DXF export writes the VPORT record's view direction once (group code 36 was written twice, which strict readers reject, #1789). A deeply nested file no longer overflows the stack: nesting is capped at 32 objects (deeper groups are merged with a warning; SVG past 256 elements and PDF past 256 nested arrays are refused), symbols and patterns that use themselves open without the offending instance or paint, and a document nested more than about 40 deep can no longer be saved to a file that won't open again (#1852). PDF and `.ai` files nested deeply inside compressed streams, page trees holding themselves and functions or colour spaces built on themselves no longer crash the app (hayro 0.8; the import runs on a 16 MB thread, #1871); a decompression bomb or impossible predictor parameters are refused (#1873, #1700, #1701); a brush whose art draws the brush again through a symbol or pattern no longer crashes the app, and graph designs, Affinity, DXF, metafiles and plug-ins were probed with hostile input (#1872). Hostile EPS, Affinity and native files can no longer run memory or CPU away through ASCII85 data, PostScript objects holding themselves, flat-colour pixel layers or far and overlapping data offsets (#1863: #1715, #1714, #1704, #1699), and the save fallback for folders that refuse a rename keeps the old file's content until the new one is in (#1695). A file whose ids sit at their largest value no longer breaks new objects (#1718); a failed `command.batch` puts each document back whole, its file, history and a drag in progress included (#1697); a control request that timed out before the app took it never runs later, and the reply says which case it was (#1725, [control-protocol.md](control-protocol.md)); the Eyedropper and recolouring refuse an image too large as RGBA before decoding it (#1717) (all #1862). A save or export that fails is reported in a dialog that names the file and stays until closed, with the document left modified and the old file untouched (#1685); a browser download that can't start fails the save instead of marking it saved (#1693); a file that finishes opening waits while a dialog is open, so Save As options can't save the wrong document (#1694) (all #1865). krilla is built without its text shaping, so the unmaintained rustybuzz and ttf-parser don't ship (#1874, #1730); the CI gate compiles the web app for wasm, and the web's SVG nesting cap (34) follows from its 1 MiB stack (#1875).
+- **Rendering, later 2026-10-14 merges:** copies, symbol instances and repeats that share an appearance keep their stroke outlines between frames (#1667). Wide drop shadows and glows at high zoom render within the raster budget (#1706); stacked Transform effects are bounded (#1705); 3D effects keep the area a nonzero compound path fills (#1724); pattern tiles redraw when a symbol, pattern or image their art shows changes (#1723); a template layer dims its images by its Dim Images percentage instead of fading the whole layer (#1683) (all #1864).
 - **Tool cursors:** the Eyedropper has an original pipette glyph with its tip at the hotspot;
   Use Precise Cursors restores the crosshair. The same glyph feeds OS bitmaps and painted
   cursors. DPI/hotspot and preference checks in `cursors.rs` and `tests_prefs.rs` cover #1269;

Rows added for the X/Y/W/H of direct-selected anchors (#1839, fixes #1824), the toolbar and All Tools drawer (#1751) and the Actions panel selection (#1853, part of #1629); the snapping row notes Snap to Grid over Snap to Pixel (#1840). Scores unchanged (estimated) |
 | 2026-10-14 | minor | Align and Distribute act on the anchor points selected with Direct Selection: the points of one path align to each other, not to the artboard, and Distribute spaces them (#1641, fixes #1636; aligning to a key anchor is still missing); Delete removes every selected anchor of a closed path (it used to remove the wrong ones), removes objects selected whole along with the selected anchors of others, and keeps the remainder selected so a second Delete removes it (#1674); In isolation mode Direct Selection and Group Selection pick only inside the isolated object (#1666); Escape cancels a Direct Selection drag (#1803, #1743); Escape while typing ends the edit, keeps the type selected and switches to the Selection tool (#1802, #1686, #1656); A filled Pencil path keeps a stroke of None (#1804, part of #1679); With the Pen, a press that moves under 3 screen pixels is a click (a corner without handles), and a Precise Cursors command toggles the existing preference and can take a shortcut (#1663); The [ and ] keys reach the Blob Brush, the Eraser and the Symbolism tools in the app (#1734, part of #1661); In the Pathfinder panel a group selected alone counts its nested shapes, so an expanded stroked object keeps the Shape Modes enabled (#1642, #1635); Object › Expand turns radial, grid and mirror repeats into groups of their instances (#1765, #1756); Select › Same matches type on its characters' fill and stroke (#1746, #1737); Fields commit what was typed when you click away or move to another field, as Enter does; Escape still discards it (#1787); Up and Down move through the command search results and Enter runs the highlighted one (#1798, #1757); Slider rails show on Medium Dark (#1808, #1662); On Windows the custom title bar's window stays truly borderless, so the pointer lines up with what is drawn on systems where the hidden caption offset it (#1791, #1758; awaiting the reporter's confirmation); Tool cursors are painted into the window on Wayland (#1652; not run on Linux, #1645 stays open until confirmed); the guide-position row (#1659) is now "not scored": the documentation found doesn't establish it, and it is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision; scores unchanged |
 | 2026-10-13 | minor | Pathfinder's Trim, Merge and Crop remove the objects' strokes, and Merge joins same-fill objects whatever their strokes were, as the public Pathfinder page describes (#1572, fixes #1570); Offset Path with an inset larger than the shapes says the offset leaves nothing, instead of asking to select paths (#1591, fixes #1590); The Symbols panel's New Symbol opens Symbol Options to name the symbol first, and Alt-click skips it (#1566, fixes #1560); Tool flyouts are as wide as their longest translated name and shortcut need, so names no longer run into shortcuts in Spanish and other languages (#1650, fixes #1616); Smart Guides: a point drawn with the Pen or a shape tool, and an anchor dragged with Direct Selection, snaps to where paths and ruler guides cross, labelled "intersect" (#1658, part of #1602; a moved selection's own anchors don't); The Transform panel shows a selected ruler guide's X or Y, and typing a value moves it (#1659, part of #1597). This is not established by the documentation we could find: the public help pages on guides, rulers and the Transform, Control and Properties panels (read again on 2026-10-14) describe selecting and dragging unlocked guides and the panels' X and Y for a selection, not a guide's position in a panel, and the one public statement of it is a user's [community answer](https://community.adobe.com/questions-652/adding-a-new-custom-guide-785586), which is not documentation. It is kept as a convenience pending the owner's decision, with no parity claim and nothing counted towards a score; Select Behind (Ctrl/Cmd-click) tests each object once, so a deep stack of overlapping objects no longer slows it; same objects in the same order (#1571); Commands that take `ids` run on the objects given with nothing selected, over MCP, the control channel and the CLI too (#1577, fixes #1575); scores unchanged (estimated) |
