 | Date | Change | Summary |
 |---|---|---|
+| 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1885: glass bends the backdrop with the reference tool's thick-lens profile: most a 1-unit bevel in from the edge, falling off as the 3.5th power of the way out of the curve to nothing `depth` further in, and a fifth as much on the bevel itself (it fell off as the square of the way in from the very edge). Dispersion splits the channels over 8 steps with a triangular window, red moving furthest and blue least, as far apart as the reference tool's (at 100% red and blue move 0.16 of the bend apart; it was three samples, blue furthest), and `Glass::max_bend` bounds red's furthest step, so the backdrop read around a pane covers every sample. Tests: `glass::tests::the_bend_follows_the_thick_lens_profile`, `glass::tests::dispersion_splits_the_channels_along_the_bend`. Numbers unchanged |
+| 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1885: glass effects take variables (light angle, intensity, refraction, depth, dispersion, frost and splay, on layers and in effect styles, and from the Design panel's glass fields), and a glass's frost stays within 0–100, the reference tool's range: a larger frost from an older file draws at 100, and the field, a bound variable and scaling stop there. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-31 | minor | M12: as the help describes, holding Cmd/Ctrl while moving a connector's end places it on any part of an object instead of snapping to a side. It keeps that spot as a fraction of the object's box, so it follows the object when it moves or resizes, and without the key an end snaps as before. `board.connector {fromAt, toAt}` and `board.reattach {at}` take it; saved only when set. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-31 | patch | M11: a trackpad or touch tap sends its press and release in one frame, so a plugin panel's field committed in the frame its button was clicked and the value was lost: the Counter's Set count… kept the old count. The plugin now gets both, the field's value first. The `window.figcraft` docs name `screenshot`'s `data`. Numbers unchanged |
 | 2026-10-31 | patch | M4: Dash and Custom strokes have a Dash cap (None, Round, Square) in the advanced stroke settings and `node.set {dashCap}`, on both ends of every dash on the canvas and in PNG, PDF and SVG. Unset, dashes keep taking the end point caps, so older files look the same; the saved file writes it only when set. Numbers unchanged |

A click selects one row, Shift+click the range from the anchor through the rows shown, Cmd/Ctrl+click toggles a row, Escape or a click on the empty space below the rows clears; selected rows use the sidebar's selected-row colour. Right-clicking a row that is part of a selection of several offers Delete, Move to group and Scope (all supported properties, hidden from pickers, or only one scope) for the whole selection, each sent as one `command.batch`, so one undo step; no engine command changed.

+| 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1885: glass effects take variables, as the reference tool's do: its light angle, intensity, refraction, depth, dispersion, frost and splay bind to number variables on a layer (`variable.bind`, `effects/<i>/<lightAngle\|lightIntensity\|refraction\|depth\|dispersion\|radius\|splay>`, `radius` being the frost) and in an effect style (`style.bind`), and the Design panel's glass fields take a variable like the shadow and blur fields. A variable reads as the field shows it: intensity, refraction, dispersion and splay in percent.

Layers inside instances count for their component. Insertions, detachments and modes aren't counted for them yet. Numbers unchanged. Tests: `library_assets_tests`. |
 | 2026-10-31 | minor | M6: as the help center describes code syntax, Dev Mode's SwiftUI and Compose code now writes a bound variable's iOS or Android code syntax in place of its value, as CSS already wrote the Web one: fills, strokes and their weight, sizes, corner radius, gaps, padding, opacity, the font family and size and the characters. A variable with no code syntax for the platform keeps the value, since a name made up here wouldn't exist in the code it lands in. ArkUI and Flutter have no code syntax platform and are unchanged.

wrap style: Auto, Balance and Pretty on a text layer decide where its lines break, as Explore text properties says (#1827), with the Type settings control, `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle`, inspect and the CSS `text-wrap`; Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item keeps the item's indentation level, as the lists article says; max lines on auto-width text keep it auto width, hugging that many lines, as the text properties article says; superscript and subscript are synthesised where the font has no glyphs for them, from the standard glyphs shrunk and shifted by the font's OS/2 metrics, and a run mixing available and unavailable glyphs is synthesised whole, as Explore text properties says (#1828); Alt+Enter while editing text opens the link at the caret, as the accessibility page documents; Minimize, by its shortcut or the button by the file name, collapses the navigation bar and both sidebars as the help center says, with the right sidebar back while something is selected (#1835);

they resized before; the Layers panel answers Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux, the two keys the help center gives it; the colour picker's Image tab shows a placeholder and Upload from computer, an asset preview, and a file dropped on it replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop and position (#1682); the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does; the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift makes a colour style or variable of what it picks; sidebar number and text fields keep their text vertically centered when focused, including typography spacing; with the pen out, Enter or a double-click ends the path and edits the vector with the Move tool instead of drawing on (#1430); the Actions palette offers only commands that run from it, and no second row reading like a menu item: Place image opens the file dialog (#1574); Preferences ▸ Scroll wheel zoom: a mouse wheel zooms the canvas about the pointer and Cmd/Ctrl+wheel scrolls (#1390); boolean operations refuse input past their caps, and a boolean group past them draws without its result (#1104); the selection and hover outlines of rounded rectangles and frames follow their corners (#1506); colour picker review fixes for text undo, fitted sidebars, moving controls and gradient variables; Corner smoothing: an original icon and the shared number-field drag gesture, preserving fractional baselines;

a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point curves it, its handles along the line between its neighbours, as Edit vector layers says (#1875); wrap style: Auto, Balance and Pretty on a text layer decide where its lines break, as Explore text properties says (#1827), with the Type settings control, `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle`, inspect and the CSS `text-wrap`; Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item keeps the item's indentation level, as the lists article says; max lines on auto-width text keep it auto width, hugging that many lines, as the text properties article says; superscript and subscript are synthesised where the font has no glyphs for them, from the standard glyphs shrunk and shifted by the font's OS/2 metrics, and a run mixing available and unavailable glyphs is synthesised whole, as Explore text properties says (#1828);

they resized before; the Layers panel answers Ctrl+1 as well as Alt+1 on Windows and Linux, the two keys the help center gives it; the colour picker's Image tab shows a placeholder and Upload from computer, an asset preview, and a file dropped on it replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop and position (#1682); the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does; the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift makes a colour style or variable of what it picks; sidebar number and text fields keep their text vertically centered when focused, including typography spacing; with the pen out, Enter or a double-click ends the path and edits the vector with the Move tool instead of drawing on (#1430); the Actions palette offers only commands that run from it, and no second row reading like a menu item: Place image opens the file dialog (#1574); Preferences ▸ Scroll wheel zoom: a mouse wheel zooms the canvas about the pointer and Cmd/Ctrl+wheel scrolls (#1390); boolean operations refuse input past their caps, and a boolean group past them draws without its result (#1104); the selection and hover outlines of rounded rectangles and frames follow their corners (#1506); colour picker review fixes for text undo, fitted sidebars, moving controls and gradient variables; Corner smoothing: an original icon and the shared number-field drag gesture, preserving fractional baselines;

 Fine canvas control is what Figma users feel first: handles, snapping, nudging, modifier keys,
 drag behaviour, numeric precision. This checklist covers the tools, gestures and panels. Status:

 | Colour names in hex fields | done | every hex field (fills, strokes, text ranges, effects, layout grids, colour variables, page and prototype backgrounds, the colour picker's Hex) takes a CSS colour name as well: `red` becomes `FF0000`; case, spaces and hyphens are ignored (`Light Blue`); names are opaque and keep the colour's opacity; hex wins where both could match. The picker's CSS field takes every CSS name too (`Color::from_hex_or_name`, `color::named`) |
 | Fields select their text on focus | done | Number and text values keep their vertical position when their editor gains focus (including typography spacing; `sidebar_field_text_stays_in_place_on_focus`). a click or Tab into a one-line field selects all of its text, so typing replaces the value: hex and colour fields, number fields, inline fields (a fill's hex, variable values, renames), names, search boxes and dialog fields; a drag from the press selects only what it covers; multi-line fields (descriptions, comments) keep the caret where clicked. The first click into an inline field (a fill's hex) now takes the keyboard; it took a second click. A rename (double-click, F2, File ▸ Rename, a page) selects the whole name before its field first draws, so a key typed in that same frame replaces the name; it was appended (`widgets::select_all_on_focus`, `select_all_tests`, `layers_rename_tests`) |
 | Colour picker models | done | Hex, RGB, HSL, HSB, LCH, OKLCH and CSS; LCH and OKLCH keep lightness and hue when a colour leaves sRGB (chroma comes down); the values typed stay while the colour is theirs (a hue typed on a grey, a chroma sRGB can't hold); CSS reads `lch()` and `oklch()` with any hue unit and `none` (`figcraft_color::{Lch, Oklch}`). Values are the stored channels read as sRGB |
-| Colour picker placement and dismissal | done | Opens 8 pt beside the sidebar at the opening control, lifted to fit the screen; outside presses (including the sidebar), Escape and X close it. Reopening resets a dragged position; eyedropper sampling keeps it open. |
+| Colour picker placement and dismissal | done | Opens 8 pt beside the sidebar at the opening control, lifted to fit the screen; outside presses (including the sidebar), Escape and X close it. Reopening resets a dragged position; eyedropper sampling keeps it open, and so does a drag of the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas (#1852). |
 | Colour picker image well | partial | the Image tab shows a checkered placeholder and Upload from computer until there is a file (no dialog at once); an image paint shows its asset preview; a file dropped on the open picker replaces the image, keeping the fill mode, crop, position and adjustments (`image.replace`). Layers' fills and strokes only (text ranges, styles and selection colours keep Upload). The Fill and Stroke swatches take no drop: a dragged file's position isn't known, so a drop with none goes to the open picker |
 | Colour picker on a new fill or stroke | done | + opens the picker on the new paint when the selection shares one paint list; on a mixed selection + adds a paint to each layer and no picker opens (#404) |
 | Blend mode menus: the layer's (Design panel) and each paint's (colour picker) | done | Pass through and Normal are distinct (Normal isolates a group's or frame's children); paints have no pass-through; plus darker drawn exactly on the canvas |

Arrow for Move and Scale; two-headed arrows on the handles that follow the handle and the box's rotation; outside a corner a curved rotate arrow turned to that corner, turning with the pointer while rotating; crosshair for the frame, section, slice, shape, pencil and Text tools; the I-beam over a text with the Text tool and over the text being edited; the pen as a cross with what a click does beside it (nothing: a new point; a ring: closes, connects to or goes on from a point; a plus: adds a point on a segment, also Alt in vector edit mode; a curve: bends, the Bend tool or Cmd/Ctrl); open and closed hand for the Hand tool, Space and the middle button; zoom in and out (Alt) while Z is held; eyedropper; comment pin; the copy cursor with Alt over a selected layer and while Alt-dragging; not-allowed while a drag resizes, rotates or moves a layer inside an instance (it is undone on release) and over a layers row that takes no drop. Ruler guides and gradient, crop and padding handles keep their own cursors (the tool's used to replace them). `ui.inspect` reports `cursor`.

+| 2026-11-04 | patch | M1, #1852: a press on one of the open gradient's handles or stops on the canvas is the colour picker's own, not a press outside it (Figma keeps the picker and the handles up while a handle or stop is dragged; the stops are made to be dragged: "You can click and drag a stop to change its placement on the gradient", Use gradients as a fill or stroke). The canvas took the press and began the drag, then the picker, drawn later in the same frame, saw a press outside its card and closed, committing the drag's interaction at once; the handles vanished with it and the drag went on without an undo step of its own. Now the picker stays while a gradient handle or stop drags, and the drag is one undo step; a press elsewhere on the canvas still closes it. A handle drag whose button goes up off the canvas (over a panel or the picker) ends there too, instead of waiting, uncommitted, to move the handle to the next press on the canvas. Tests: `colorpicker_selection_tests::dragging_a_gradient_handle_on_the_canvas_keeps_the_picker_open`, `colorpicker_selection_tests::a_gradient_drag_released_off_the_canvas_ends_there`. |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | M8, #1875: a click with the Bend tool on a sharp point between two segments gives it handles along the line between its neighbours, a third of the way to each ("Click on a point or path where you want to add a curve", Edit vector layers); a click on a curved point still makes it sharp, a drag still sets the handles by hand, an endpoint is left alone. Between a handle's end and a point both within reach of the pointer, the nearer one on the page is hit (the handle on a tie), so a short path's point (its handles a few pixels long) can be clicked again. Before, only a drag curved a point, and a short one left two tiny handles in its direction. Tests: `vectoredit::tests::short_handles_leave_their_point_clickable`, `vectoredit::tests::a_bend_click_curves_a_sharp_point_between_its_neighbours`, `bend_tool_smooths_and_sharpens_points`. Numbers unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-02 | minor | M4, #1827: wrap style on a text layer (`WrapStyle`: Auto, Balance, Pretty): Balance re-breaks each paragraph at the narrowest width that keeps its line count (bisection over the greedy breaker, as browsers balance), Pretty narrows one of the last four lines just enough so the last line isn't one word; `text.wrapStyle`, `node.set wrapStyle` (`textWrap` too), inspect `wrapStyle`, Dev Mode CSS `text-wrap` (Tailwind `text-balance` / `text-pretty`), the Type settings control under Vertical trim. Per-paragraph settings, text-style support and the `.fig` import/export mapping stay open. Test: `text_behaviour_tests::balance_and_pretty_wrap_styles_break_lines_as_documented`. |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | M4: Backspace or Delete at the start of a list item takes its marker and keeps its level ("Use Backspace or Delete at the beginning of a list item to delete the counter, but keep the same level of indentation", Create bulleted and numbered lists): a plain paragraph may now carry a list level, and the text layout starts it where that level's item text starts (the gutters stay even when no list is left). Backspace used to drop the level too, and Delete at an item's start deleted the next character. Tab on such a paragraph types a tab, as outside a list. Tests: `text_tail_tests::list_keys_at_list_items`, text crate `behaviour_tests::a_plain_paragraph_at_a_list_level_starts_where_the_items_text_does` |
