 # PDF backend
 
 PDF writing uses `craft-pdf` from `storytold/craft-libs`, pinned to
-`89dcbb3060377a26c99a6d80caa16084366704c4`. Its `write` feature supplies Krilla configuration,
+`ca50d63b773c99f96e75c77ce5a1d21e7c9cda0d`. Its `write` feature supplies Krilla configuration,
 metadata construction, fallible font preparation and serialization, and native unwind guards.
 The dependency disables default features and enables `write` and `interpret`.
+The production writer retains Krilla’s raster-image support without its optional text shaper.
+PDF test fixtures enable `simple-text` through a dev dependency.
+The PDF crate explicitly retains the `flate2` `zlib-rs` feature previously supplied

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;

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); 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);

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);

   - 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;
   actual OS display and Caps Lock remain unverified. Behaviour reference: [public tool-pointer documentation](https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/using/tools.html#change_tool_pointers). Tool cursors are painted into the window on Wayland (#1652; not run on Linux, #1645 stays open until confirmed). A Precise Cursors command toggles the preference and can take a shortcut (#1663).
 - **Performance:** 20k shapes + 1k texts render in 27 ms per full-retina frame (7.8 ms zoomed), 7× faster than the first version. The UI thread never blocks. The web build is 7.1 MB gzipped. Print-size images (more than 512 MB decoded, up to 2 GB) draw in the canvas and in raster exports and can be trimmed with Crop Image; an image with a side past 65,535 px is shrunk to fit, a raster export says when an image could not be decoded, and Crop Image's trim leaves CMYK images alone (#1517). On Windows `vectorcraft-cli perf` reports the cores busy and, with `--deep`, its working set, and warns on a busy machine as it does on macOS and Linux (#1502).
   The renderer composes the two ink planes of a CMYK document that shows transparency into screen colors on up to as many threads as it rasterizes with, instead of on one. At 2880 × 1800 on 8 threads, a page of 300 shapes at 20% to 90% opacity takes 30 ms a frame instead of 55 ms, and 50,000 paths with one at 99% opacity take 258 ms instead of 361 ms (`vectorcraft-cli bench`), with the same pixels.
+  With Overprint Preview or Separations Preview on, the renderer keeps the art it prepared for the preview from one frame to the next. It prepares again the objects that changed, and all of the art when Discard White Overprint changes or, with Separations Preview, when the plates shown, the proof setup, the swatches, the Spot Colors option or the color settings change or a profile is loaded. It draws the other objects from the art, geometry and stroke outlines it kept for them.
   The Pathfinder panel, Offset Path, Clean Up, Divide Objects Below, Make and Release Blend, Envelope Distort's Make and Release, Repeat (Radial, Grid, Mirror and Release), Vector Halftone, New and Redefine Symbol, Delete Symbol, erasing with the Symbol Sprayer, Rasterize, Convert to Artboards, Flatten Transparency, Clear Guides, Shape Builder, Live Paint, Release Image Trace, Make and Release Opacity Mask, Delete with direct-selected anchor points, Remove Anchor Points, Cut Path, and the Shaper, Knife, Eraser, Path Eraser, Line Cut, Rectangle Cut, Mirror & Cut and Blob Brush tools add and remove objects in one pass over each layer or group they change, and Outline Stroke and Expand write each new object in the place of the object it replaces (#1429).
   Type › Show Hidden Characters keeps the marks it places on each text object from one frame to the next. The canvas lays a text object out again when an edit changes it or its threaded story, or when the last frame that showed the marks did not draw it, and it lays out all type in view again when the fonts or the hyphenation exceptions change. With 1,000 two-line labels in view, drawing the marks takes 0.8 ms per frame in a release build instead of 19.7 ms.
   Delete, Cut, Group, Ungroup, Make and Release Compound Path, Make Clipping Mask, Send to Current Layer, Duplicate, Copy in the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs, Transform Each with Copy and each move of an Alt-drag take time in proportion to the size of the document (#1429).
+  In the web build the status bar's render and UI times are measured with the browser's `performance.now()`, and the Layers panel stops rendering row thumbnails in a frame once they have taken 8 ms.
   An Alt-drag with the Selection, Direct Selection, Group Selection, Rotate, Scale, Reflect or Shear tool copies the selection on its first move, and the moves after it transform those copies; the previews of the Move, Rotate, Scale, Reflect and Shear dialogs with Copy and Preview on copy the selection once in the same way (#1429).
   When the desktop app opens a document on a thread of its own (#1245), that thread also reads the document's linked files and lays out its type, and the UI thread only adds the finished document: in release builds, the step left on the UI thread takes 0.02 ms instead of 1.04 s for a document with 12 linked 3000 × 2000 TIFFs, and it takes 0.1 ms instead of 0.85 s for one with 300 Auto Size area type objects, every second one in three columns.
   The Layers panel's Delete Selection, Duplicate Selection, Collect in New Layer, Merge Selected, Flatten Artwork, Release to Layers (Sequence) and row drags also take time in proportion to the size of the document, and so do Cut Artboard and Duplicate Artboard with their art and each move of an Alt-drag of one artboard with the Artboard tool while Move/Copy Artwork with Artboard is on (#1429).
