| 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` |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | M2: a Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field (the horizontal or vertical pair, or a side with Individual padding open) makes the value typed go to all four sides in one undo step (Guide to auto layout, Keyboard shortcut guide); a plain click still edits that axis or side alone. The modifier was ignored before. Test: `padding_individual_tests` |
| 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. |
| 2026-11-09 | patch | M2: a child dragged within its own auto layout row or column takes its slot by the dragged box's leading edge instead of the pointer, as measured in Figma's web app on 2026-11-09: it passes a sibling when the edge facing the drag reaches the sibling's middle, so the result no longer depends on where the child was grabbed. Several moving layers use their combined box. Dragging in from outside, wrapping layouts and grids are unchanged. Tests in `al_drag_tests.rs` |
| 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. |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | M2: a child of an auto layout frame resized to the full space available to it on an axis (the frame's size less its padding: across the flow for any child, along the flow for a lone child) becomes Fill container on that axis, whether by `transform.resize`, the W/H fields or a canvas handle ("Child objects of an auto layout frame will also be set to Fill container if they are manually resized to the full available space of the parent frame", Guide to auto layout). Any other size keeps the axis Fixed as before; beside siblings along the flow, in a hugging or wrapping frame, in a grid and for a layer that ignores the layout nothing changes.

Grade unchanged. |
| 2026-11-05 | minor | M3, #2002: the Local variables window selects several variables, as the Layers panel selects layers. 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 selected local variables, each sent as one `command.batch`, so one undo step; no engine command changed. Renaming and value edits stay single-row. Tests: `variables_select_tests` (headless UI). Grade unchanged |
| 2026-11-02 | minor | M3, #1829: text styles carry paragraph spacing and indent, the list style and the OpenType features ("Supported in text styles": "Paragraph spacing and indentation", "Lists", "OpenType features", Create and apply text styles) beside the character properties: `style.create` takes them from the layer (or the selected paragraphs' list) or from a `value` (`paragraphSpacing`, `paragraphIndent`, `listStyle`, `features`), `style.apply` sets them (on a range, the list goes to the paragraphs touched; the rest is the layer's, as in Figma), `style.update` moves them on every linked layer, editing one on a styled text unlinks it as editing its font does, the style editor lists them, and a `.fig` file keeps them with the style (its sample layer). Grade unchanged. |
| 2026-11-06 | patch | M3: a glass's light angle bound to a number past ±180 turns round to the same direction (270 is -90), as the angle drawn from it does, instead of stopping at 180. Tests: `effects_tests::a_bound_light_angle_turns_round_instead_of_stopping`. Grade unchanged. |

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;

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); 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);

| 2026-11-03 | patch | M4, #1747: a text layer still carrying the name its characters gave it is renamed as they are typed, so the Layers panel no longer shows the word a layer started with while the canvas shows another (`hello` typed into `hello there` read as `hello` in the panel). A name the author typed is kept, and only the editor follows the characters: commands leave the name alone, so the layer names `data.fill`, component property bindings and templates use as field keys stay put.

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 |
| 2026-11-04 | patch | M4, #1970: justified Chinese, Japanese and Korean text, written without spaces between words, aligns its right edge: the room on each line but a paragraph's last goes between its characters, each a word of its own as for line breaking ("Justify aligns the first word in each line of text to the left-most edge, and the last to the right-most edge"), wherever a line could break there, so none opens before a full stop or closing bracket, nor after an opening one. Latin text widens its spaces as before; mixed text widens both. A gap is reordered with the line's runs as a space of no width would be, so one beside a Hebrew word in Chinese text, or beside a Chinese word within that Hebrew, opens beside the word, not inside it. `figcraft_text::breaks::justify_between`, beside `break_between`, says where. Evidence: `tests::justified_ideographs_spread_the_room_between_characters` (fails on main). |

Joining now closes the loop through the new segment ("Click to close the path."; "You can use the Paint tool to add fills to any closed regions of a vector network."): `ops::connect` puts it into the loop whose segments are the chain between the ends, at the gap and in the loop's own order, so a hole keeps its winding whichever end was clicked first; a loop listed out of walking order is left as it was. Evidence: `vectoredit::tests::a_rounded_chamfer_made_other_ways_fills_along_its_arcs` (fails on main: the loop kept 4 of 5 segments), `a_rounded_chamfer_cut_in_the_editor_fills_along_its_arcs` (Shift+Delete, with and without a region fill), `doc::tests::a_chamfered_rectangles_rounded_fill_is_cut_at_every_point` (fill, region path and stroke agree for every loop order and segment direction of a chamfered rectangle). |

| Scale tool (K): handles about an anchor, live factor, panel | done | Pressing K opens the Scale section with its factor field focused and its text selected; typing 2 (or 2x, 1.5) then Enter scales the selection by it about the panel's origin (FigCraft's starts at the top left; Figma's grid starts at the centre, left for a follow-up because the origin also sets where a handle drag pivots, which is not measured), as one undo step, then closes the section and returns to Move with the selection kept; Escape in the field closes it, back to Move, nothing changed.

| Smart guides: edges, centres, equal spacing (between two layers or continuing a row's gap, labelled), spacing labels, parent, layout grid, ruler guides | done | red, `snap.rs`; a guide dragged out of a ruler or moved snaps to layer edges and centres too (Snap to Objects; Cmd/Ctrl suspends), on its own axis only; page guides see the page's top-level layers, frame guides the frame's box, layout grids and every layer in it, along a rotated frame's own axes; thresholds not yet compared with Figma's (`guide_snap_tests`) |
| Ctrl to suspend snapping while dragging (macOS) | done | Control on macOS (Cmd keeps working), Ctrl elsewhere; moving, resizing and drawing |

| 2026-11-11 | patch | M5, gap 4: marquee selection as measured in Figma's web app (Select layers and objects, Selection marquee): a partly covered top-level frame or section gives the layers in it the marquee touches (it was selected only when enclosed, so nothing came), an empty frame is selected on touch, a rotated shape is touched by its outline and not its box, a drag from inside a frame selects that frame only when the marquee also takes another top-level frame (then whole), and also takes the top-level layers it touches outside it, and selecting a frame whole keeps the marquee at the top level (a partly covered frame then comes whole, not its layers). Flipped: `marquee_selects_what_it_touches`, `cmd_marquee_selects_nested_layers`, `a_box_selects_like_a_marquee`. Tests: `marquee_behaviour_tests`. Counts unchanged |
| 2026-11-08 | patch | Selection: Escape with layers selected clears the selection instead of stepping out to the parent first. Measured in the Figma web app with a rectangle in a group in a frame, selected from the canvas, from the Layers panel and after Tab: one Escape selects nothing. Editing, gestures and the pen still end first |
| 2026-11-10 | patch | M5, #1560: locked layers follow Figma's rules (Lock and unlock layers; measured in Figma's web app): a locked layer selected in the Layers panel ignores the arrow keys and the nudge commands while its properties still edit, and a child of a locked layer keeps its padlock inert (the Layers panel padlock, Lock/Unlock and `object.toggleLock` without a value no longer lock the child on its own) |
| 2026-11-10 | patch | #2217: the main menu's submenus (Object, say) ran past the window's bottom, behind the taskbar, with the lowest commands out of reach, because submenus were not constrained to the window (to keep them beside their row). Every menu panel now scrolls when taller than the window less 8 pt margins, and a submenu is held within the window's height (moved up, never above the top) while keeping its place beside its row, so menu-aim is unchanged. Tests: `menu_overflow_tests.rs`. Numbers unchanged. |
| 2026-11-02 | patch | Shortcuts: a Cmd/Ctrl-click on a padding field (the horizontal or vertical pair, or a side with Individual padding open) makes the value typed go to all four sides, in one undo step (Guide to auto layout, Keyboard shortcut guide); a plain click still edits that axis or side alone. A documented gesture row: 134 documented, 133 bound. Test: `padding_individual_tests` |
