-> **Last reviewed:** 2026-10-10 · **Last updated:** 2026-11-06 · **Change:** minor (the Local variables window selects several variables (click, Shift+click for a range, Cmd/Ctrl+click to toggle, Escape to clear) and delete, move to a group and scope act on the selected local variables in one undo step (#2002); the desktop UI takes a system face for Ethiopic, Devanagari, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, Sinhala, Lao, Myanmar, Khmer, Armenian and Georgian as it did for Hebrew and Arabic, so a String variable's Amharic value draws in the panels instead of boxes (#2014); a layer's effect binding takes only a field its effect has; ; the boolean operation menu leads each entry with an original icon (#2003); glass takes one sample instead of its dispersion window where the colours split under 1/256 px; glass bends towards its core, and rounded rectangles work it out in closed form; glass's light is a line on its bevel and splay turns the bend towards the centre; glass bends with a thick-lens profile and splits its colours over 8 steps; glass effects take variables and keep their frost within 0–100; web host bridge: `?host=parent` or `data-host="page"` hands a page the app's files, documented in the hosting guide; a connector end moved with Cmd/Ctrl held goes on any part of an object, and stays there as the object moves or resizes; a tap on a plugin panel's button keeps what was typed in its fields; a Dash cap setting (none, round or square) on Dash and Custom strokes, drawn on both ends of every dash; library analytics list how many layers and files use each style and variable; the Controller menu names each button as PlayStation and Switch controllers do; widgets draw lines and SVG pictures (plugin API 6); a connector end dropped along a side of a shape attaches to that side (#1708); regression tests pin a rounded shape's one-sided stroke and SVG ids and font families without XML-forbidden characters (#1351, #1124); a damaged image is refused with a reason instead of showing as an empty box (#1474); an image copied in another app pastes again on the desktop, and in the browser for the first time (#492); SwiftUI and Compose code names a bound variable by its iOS or Android code syntax; 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 Frame tool's Phone presets have the iPhone 17 family (#1691); Show in folder works in the Flatpak build and selects the file on Linux (#1701); a dashed line starts and ends with a half-length dash, on the canvas and in exports; the Pages, Layers and Assets search fields keep their text in the middle of the field (#1703); a board connector's path can be reshaped by dragging its path handles (#1710); boards have 16 more shapes (arrows, polygons, star, plus and flowchart symbols), in pickers that lay them out in a grid; library analytics count insertions and show insertions and detachments over the past 30 days, 90 days or year; a stroke's Custom style takes a dash pattern of any length as a comma-separated list (#1681); a control request can set its own timeout, up to 10 minutes (`timeoutMs`; `figcraft-cli mcp --attach PORT --timeout SECONDS`) (#1696); gap 6: a widget opens its plugin's panel (plugin API 5), whose callbacks redraw it; the keyboard's Menu key opens the context menu, as Shift+F10 does; an Open link action can open in place of the prototype, with "Open in new tab" off (gap 15); a collection of this file can be extended (Extend collection on its row, `variable.extendCollection`), its extension following its edits at once, and extended collections extend again in the file; the eyedropper with Cmd/Ctrl+Shift makes a colour style or variable of what it picks; a live session's welcome sends the document compressed to clients that read it, about seven times smaller (#1665); a control request that times out says truthfully whether it was dropped or is still running and will take effect, and only screenshots and input blame the window (#1673); a board keeps earlier votes' results, listed newest first in Results and deleted one at a time; the object a stamp will stick to is outlined while the stamp tool is over it or a stamp is dragged over it, and board objects take no drops (gap 24); a server can list the files shared from it now for everyone who reaches it, Home ▸ Online shows them and their links carry no secret (`team_files`, part of #742); team library analytics count detached instances per component and file (gap 10); skipping the Open link notice by command is saved with the preferences at once (gap 15); a selected connector's bar on a board sets its start and end points, solid or dashed, its weight and any colour (#1596); cells copied from a spreadsheet paste onto a board as a table; a long layer name stays on one line in the Export button and the Dev Mode header, ending with an ellipsis, and no longer covers the Design panel (#1650); with hundreds of layers selected, the Design panel and the selection overlays stop going over the whole selection on every frame, so dragging 648 layers averages about 1.1 ms of UI per frame (#1571); plugin panels show pictures: an `image` control, base64 within 256 KB and 4,096 px a side, named by its label (gap 6); `.fig` connector labels without a saved snapshot are kept, centred on their line (gap 1); a drag moving many layers re-runs only what sits around them, not each layer's bindings, sizing, text and instance checks, on every move (#1571); damaged font tracking table offsets are checked instead of wrapping on 32-bit targets, and font indexing makes its existing offset bounds explicit (#1125); Bosnian (`bs`) draft catalog; text style dedupe is O(spans) via a last-two cache and fingerprint buckets (#1102); pasted layers whose image the clipboard lacks are named and show a placeholder that reads as missing (#1646); paint-style colours on layers pasted from another design app keep their style instead of turning black (#1638); progress docs cleaned of what merges left twice: rows merged into one, repeated status items removed, and `cargo xtask docs` (in `ci`) fails on a repeated table row or status item; a name typed for a variable or collection finds the one with that exact id before one named like it, and stored mode ids, font family variables and the panels' labels read exact ids (#1613); plugin widgets have hover styles: a layer's `hover` fill, stroke, opacity or text colour shows while the pointer is over it (gap 6); `.fig` elbowed and curved connectors without a saved path are routed like board connectors instead of drawn straight (gap 1); every file a command reads whole by path is a regular file within a cap that fits it: documents 16 GiB, placed images 256 MiB, CLI scripts 1 GiB; `figcraft-cli connect publish` publishes a code repository's code connect mappings to a design file (gap 16); while a drag only moves a large selection, its outlines, box, slots, spacing and Design panel values are worked out once and shifted, not rebuilt on every move (#1571); Shift+Cmd/Ctrl+Enter on a selected board shape adds the next shape already joined to it, and goes on typing (#1597); an imported or pasted file finds an installed family under the other names its fonts give it, and with other case and spacing, instead of reporting it missing (#1292); a development example generates figcraft-cli's shell completions and man pages from its clap definitions (part of #1396); `.fig` ZIP image reads share a total byte budget and count skipped images in the import warnings (#1076); German terminology corrections (M10): gradient stops, OpenType stylistic sets and the Home-screen preference; a component set's property rows fit the 240 px right panel: variant values wrap two to a line there and every + and − stays in view; the server key is checked by comparing SHA-256 hashes of the presented and the kept key, as the deployment guide says (#1130); opening a file contacts no team library server it names until you check it (#1097); a hostile server can no longer grow a client's memory with made-up people, and a session remembers a bounded number of deleted layer ids (#1121); `doc.list` gives AI agents and plugins the open files' names, not their paths (#1117); with a large selection, frames where nothing changed reuse the selection's outlines, box and slots and the Design panel's instance and position values instead of working them out again (#1571); team libraries and plugins larger than the 16 MiB download burst can be downloaded again, more slowly (#1089); a batch keeps one undo snapshot, not one per step (#1099); files nested 256 levels deep import on the browser's 1 MB stack (#1101); SVG and PDF exports count pattern sources and the renders they embed from the layer's depth, so one cap bounds a whole export (#1082); an explicit variables file path (`variable.import`, the `variables` of `file.open` and `file.import`) is refused past 256 MiB or when it isn't a regular file, as the sibling `variables.json` already was (part of #1114); joining and leaving a file nobody is editing reads and writes nothing on the server: it stays loaded a minute after everyone leaves (#1074); opening a `.figcraft` file unpacks at most 6 GiB in all (2 GiB in the browser), every area together (#1079); hovering the canvas hit-tests once per pointer move, not on every frame, and moving an auto layout frame no longer lays out its contents again on every move (#1571); `.fig` instance expansion no longer walks variable nodes for every instance or copies every outer override row into each nested instance (#1077); `comment.people` lists names that were only @mentioned, and `comment.next` and `comment.prompt` carry the mentions too (#1415); grid auto-placement looks for free cells a 64-bit word at a time and skips what blocks it, with the same placements (#1083); 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); a recovery copy made while a version is previewed holds the file, not the version shown; a FigJam `.jam` file opens as a board (#1342); 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); share links can comment: a third access level beside edit and view, whose holder sees the file live and adds, replies to, reacts to and resolves comments but can't change the design; Preferences ▸ Scroll wheel zoom: a mouse wheel zooms the canvas about the pointer and Cmd/Ctrl+wheel scrolls (#1390); `comment.list {mentions}` lists only the threads that @mention a name (#1415); in the browser an internal error that stops the page keeps its unsaved files, which open again on reload (#1123); boolean operations refuse input past their caps, and a boolean group past them draws without its result (#1104); figcraft-cli parses its arguments with clap, following RFC-0012 (#1396); the selection and hover outlines of rounded rectangles and frames follow their corners (#1506); component properties keep the order they were made in when one is renamed, and Make slot asks for the slot's name first (#1536, #1537); the browser build publishes files to a server, so Share ▸ Online and Publish to server work there (#917); the browser build uses the fonts installed on the computer once asked, each read when text uses it (#1051); SVG import reads `color()` and `color-mix()` colours, with a note and a grey for those it can't (#1550); the portable Windows zip keeps its settings, recovery copies and plugins in `config\` beside the executable, starting with an installed copy's preferences; the window starts on other graphics when its first ones fail before the first frame: Direct3D 12 compiles with FXC and no device compiles wgpu's indirect-validation shaders, then Vulkan, OpenGL and lower requirements on the power-saving GPU (#965, #1438); Thai, Lao, Khmer and Burmese lines break between words (#1219); an AI agent attached over MCP shows where it works (#1416); a manual overlay's position can be dragged on the canvas (#405); one name for live sessions and comments: Preferences ▸ Your name, in the Join dialog too, kept in the browser, and a rename shows at once in the sessions you are in (#1380); requests that change a server's files have a budget per address, the server key's too, and join codes are found by their hash (#1075); the Join dialog shows a join from the click until its file is ready, with Cancel, and a failed join with Try again (#1381); SVG import draws each pattern tile once per scale, within the layer budget (#1080); Vietnamese letters typed with combining marks (decomposed) take one font that has every mark, instead of missing-glyph boxes beside the letter (#1478); comment.list reports each message's @mentions (#1415); mask groups draw only over the area they can paint, and nested isolated layers share one memory budget (#1061); components can't contain their own instances, directly or through other components; `edit.duplicate` returns an id map with `map: true` (#995); the batches kept for reconnecting apps are bounded in bytes by default, and `figcraft-server` takes `max_log_mb` (#1069); MCP and control calls name their document (#998); sibling placement in live sessions searches instead of counting (#1065); an AI agent attached over MCP comments under its own name, with an Agent label (#1414); the instance-swap menus have a search field (#1338); a refused batch's fixes take time linear in the batch (#1063); the connector tool shows the connector it will make while dragging, ends snapping to attach points (#1387); large images on the canvas draw from a smaller copy, so two 16k images no longer lag (#1483); a file's JPEG thumbnail can't crash the home screen (#1491's progressive JPEG check, now shared); `.fig` import: library text styles linked by asset key, and override rows restating a nested level (#1234); `.fig` import keeps the file's saved line breaks while the text and its box are unedited (#1236); Download a missing free font from the Missing fonts window (`font.download`, #754); the web build's wasm back under its 24 MiB gate (#1472); shadows of images with transparent pixels follow their alpha (#1289); Crop image: Object ▸ Crop image, the right-click menu and the image fill row enter crop mode (`image.crop`, #1464); offline Penpot 2.x import/export (#1143); optional batch continue-on-error with per-step outcomes (#1386); the Design panel's sections on one grid (#858); FigJam outer shape outlines and sticky body fallback beside author text (#1341, #1397); images placed at their own size, 2x screenshots in points (#1360); the toolbar on one 32 pt grid, without its Resources button (#1210); M4: zero-length round-capped dashes draw dots; dash expansion uses the existing safety budget; extracted from #1143; Arabic draft catalog; scaled instances keep their scale when their main is rebuilt (#922); .fig embedded images are copied once per blob, not once per hash (#1059); page ruler guides survive save and reopen (#1476); colour picker LCH and OKLCH models; non-ASCII layer names transliterate in code export (#1235); branches in live sessions and branch history entries, gap 17; plugin widgets take text input and a property menu (plugin API 4); boards: templates and tables; boards: a shared timer and voting sessions; boards: the dot grid, connector ends dragged to re-attach, curved connectors; Installed weights of an embedded font family (#1246); `.sketch` import, best effort (Sketch 48 and newer); CJK line breaking: JIS X 4051's line-start and line-end sets completed with the halfwidth small kana, the halfwidth and spacing (semi-)voiced sound marks, the iteration marks 〱–〵 and the halfwidth parentheses, with behaviour cases for each; Adobe Fonts found on macOS (#298); egui 0.37 hidden-capture deadline contract; Dev Mode measurements kept on the canvas and a read-only layers panel; boards: a board area row and progress entry; community fixes in #507, #510, #529 and #530: auto-save, a text box by dragging, batch step references, removing someone from a live session, Russian and Turkish catalogs reviewed, Czech and Indonesian drafts, the Japanese draft completed, zoom previews, the web clipboard, Alt-drag snapping and Cmd+D repeat, recovery copies, crash and rollback fixes, colour emoji, `.fig` import fixes;

 ## Progress log
 
+- **2026-11-05** · M2, #1823: Suggest auto layout is its own command. `layout.suggest` used to run `layout.add` and made one row of everything. It now splits a frame's layers into rows or columns by the gaps between them, wraps each band of several layers in a hugging frame without fill and repeats inside it, so the design gets as many auto layout frames as it needs and keeps its placement where the gaps are even (the frame keeps its size). Uneven gaps, bands that start at different offsets across the flow (lined up at the smallest) and layers that overlap along both axes are reported as `warnings`, and instances and layers inside them are refused. `layout.add` is unchanged. Tests in `layout_suggest_tests.rs`. Numbers unchanged.
 - **2026-11-05** · M3, #2002: the Local variables window selects several variables with a click, Shift+click (range) and Cmd/Ctrl+click (toggle), cleared by Escape or a click on the empty space; delete, move to a group and scope act on the selected local variables as one undo step (`command.batch`); inherited variables can be selected but are left out, since they change in their own collection, and the bulk menu needs two or more local variables selected (otherwise the row shows its own menu). Rename and value edits stay single-row.
 - **2026-11-05** · M10, #2014: the desktop UI takes a system face for Ethiopic, Devanagari, Gurmukhi, Gujarati, Tamil, Telugu, Kannada and Malayalam, Sinhala, Lao, Myanmar, Khmer, Armenian and Georgian as it did for Hebrew and Arabic (`bidi::script_fallbacks`: one sample letter per script, the system's families for each; Bengali and Thai keep `crate::cjk`'s choice), so a layer name or a String variable's Amharic value draws in the panels instead of boxes. Test: `bidi::tests::other_scripts_take_an_installed_system_face`.
 - **2026-11-05** · M4, #1830: a paragraph's base direction can be forced (Text ▸ Text direction: Auto, Left to right, Right to left) as Add right-to-left text says ("controls are available to override text direction per paragraph"). `ParaList::direction`, `text.direction {direction, ids?}` and the three menu commands (the edited paragraphs while editing, else the layer's), `node.set textDirection`, the Type settings control once a right-to-left script is in the text, `textDirection` / `lineDirections` in inspect, the CSS `direction`, and the `.fig` lines' `sourceDirectionality` in and out. Layout gives each paragraph its base level (`Bidi::of` per paragraph). Tests: `text_behaviour_tests::text_direction_is_forced_per_paragraph`, `fig::text_direction_tests`.

+| Suggest auto layout | done | The target works out which layers belong together and adds as many auto layout frames as the design needs, in one step, keeping the placement. `layout.suggest` used to run `layout.add` and made one row of everything (#1823). Now it splits a frame's layers, by their boxes in the frame, along the vertical axis first: sorted by top edge, a layer joins the current row while it starts above the row's bottom (or together with it), and a gap, even a zero one, between the row and the next layer starts a new row. With two or more rows the frame becomes a Vertical auto layout whose items are the rows; otherwise the same split by columns gives a Horizontal one; if the layers overlap along both axes the frame gets no auto layout and the result carries a warning. A row or column of several layers goes into a new frame without fill or clipping, sized to it and inserted in its place (it hugs its content once the split gives it auto layout; a band whose own layers overlap along both axes gets none, with a warning, and stays a Fixed frame that cannot reflow those layers), and the split repeats inside it, to a depth of 16 and for up to 1,000 layers per frame (past that, or when a mask is among the layers, the layers are laid out in one list as Add auto layout does, with a warning). The frame keeps its size, Fixed: the gap is the distance between the bands, the padding along the flow is the first band's offset and the room left after the last, across the flow the smallest offset (alignment start), so with equal gaps and bands that start at the same offset every layer keeps its box exactly. When the gaps differ by more than 0.5 px the smallest is used and `warnings` says the later bands move; when the bands start at different offsets across the flow (a centred title above a card) they line up at the smallest, which moves the others, and `warnings` says so. Instances and layers inside them are refused with the error Convert to group gives, before anything changes; a main component works. `direction` sets the top level only. A single group becomes a frame in place and several layers are wrapped in a frame (both hug), as Add auto layout does; a frame with fewer than two layers is laid out as Add auto layout does. One undo step.

+| 2026-11-05 | patch | M2, #1823: Suggest auto layout is no longer Add auto layout under another name: `layout.suggest` splits a frame's layers into rows (Vertical) or else columns (Horizontal) by the gaps between their boxes, wraps each band of several layers in a new frame without fill or clipping that hugs it, and repeats inside it (16 levels, 1,000 layers per frame at most). The frame keeps its size; gap and padding come from the bands, so layers keep their boxes where the gaps are even and the bands start at the same offset; instances and layers inside them are refused; uneven gaps (smallest used), bands that start at different offsets across the flow (lined up at the smallest) and layers that overlap along both axes come back as `warnings`. A band frame hugs only when its own split succeeds: a band whose layers overlap along both axes gets no auto layout and stays Fixed, so it cannot reflow those children. `direction` sets the top level only; one undo step; `layout.add` is unchanged. Tests in `layout_suggest_tests.rs` |
 | 2026-11-03 | patch | M2, #1825: baseline alignment of a layer without text (an icon next to a text) puts its bottom on the line's baseline, as the help center's figure shows ("the bottoms of the icon and the word home are aligned on the red line"); it kept to the top of the line. A layer reaching below the text's baseline moves the text down, and a line with no text lines the layers' bottoms up (the documentation is silent; CSS baseline alignment does the same). Tests: `alignment_rules` (three cases), engine `baseline_alignment_puts_an_icons_bottom_on_the_text_baseline`. Numbers unchanged. |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | M2, #1824: fill container children share the free space by their content area: each one's own insets (padding and an included inside stroke, from the same `insets` the frame uses) come off the free space before the equal split and go back on its share, so a child with more padding or a thicker inside stroke takes a little more and the content areas match ("Figma distributes space amongst fill container children by the children's content area instead of by their size, matching the CSS border-box model", Use auto layout with CSS Flexbox in mind). Min and max still clamp the outer sizes and the frozen-share loop is as it was; children without insets split as before. Test: `nested_tests::fill_children_share_by_content_area` |
 | 2026-11-02 | patch | M2, #1838: a double-click on an edge of an auto layout frame's bounding box sets Hug contents on that axis, Alt+double-click on an edge of a child's Fill container ("Double-click the vertical or horizontal edge of an auto layout object's bounding box to set it to Hug contents", "Hold ⌥ Option or Alt and double-click ... to set it to Fill container", Guide to auto layout); a vertical edge sizes the width, a horizontal one the height; the Keyboard shortcuts panel lists both gestures. Test: `double_click_tests::a_double_click_on_an_auto_layout_edge_hugs_and_with_alt_fills`. Numbers unchanged. |
