openpencil/CHANGELOG.md

Changelog

Unreleased

Added

• Add variable mode management — create, rename, duplicate, delete modes and set the default mode per collection. Modes appear as interactive table column headers (double-click to rename, right-click for context menu).
• Add collection deletion from the variables dialog.
• Bind variables to line height, letter spacing, font weight, paragraph spacing, and paragraph indent in the typography inspector.
• Add editor event bus with typed lifecycle events — subscribe via editor.onEditorEvent() in core or useEditorEvent() composable in the Vue SDK.
• Register desktop file associations for .fig and .pen so supported design files can be opened from OS file browsers with OpenPencil.
• Add a local Assets panel for document components and component sets, with grouped variant assets, default variant insertion, and duplicate variant warnings.
• Preserve Figma component library metadata on import/export, including component keys, source library keys, publish/version IDs, descriptions, links, and variant property specs.

Changed

• Refactor the editor architecture across core, app, Vue SDK, CLI, MCP, docs, and desktop into smaller domain modules with structural lint rules to keep package boundaries explicit.
• Add targeted core subpath exports and package-local import aliases for cleaner app, Vue SDK, CLI, and MCP imports.
• Split the canvas into separate scene and overlay render layers so rulers, labels, selections, and input overlays are isolated from scene rendering.
• Use @use-gesture/vanilla for wheel gesture lifecycle handling and faster trackpad zoom behavior.
• Add auto-layout inspector controls for min/max dimensions, Auto gap distribution, wrap cross-axis gap, and two-axis padding controls.
• Add signed Tauri updater configuration, release artifacts, startup update checks, and a native Check for Updates menu item.
• Add inspector variable binding controls for fill and stroke colors plus width/height sizing, including existing variable selection and named variable creation.
• Add stroke dash/gap controls to the stroke inspector panel.
• Bump AI SDK dependencies for improved DeepSeek reasoning mode and newer model support.
• Add PDF export — vector PDF output via SVG→PDF conversion. Available in export panel, CLI (--format pdf), and MCP (export_pdf tool).
• Add font settings controls for local font access, fallback font predownloads, and downloaded font cache management.

Fixes

• Fix inner shadow rendering for text nodes to be more in line with Figma's behavior
• Fix bug causing exponential (decompressed) .fig growth triggered by repeated save / load cycles
• Fix @open-pencil/vue failing to import from npm — getAbsolutePositionFull was imported from @open-pencil/core/canvas/coordinate, an unexported subpath. Re-exported the function from @open-pencil/core/canvas and updated the vue import.
• Fix large .fig files freezing during open — parsing and scene graph import now run in the worker, and opened files fit to the canvas viewport after loading.
• Improve Figma import fidelity for Preline UI files — preserve variable aliases, derived instance layout, nested instance scaling, avatar swaps, badge internals, and input text alignment.
• Improve Figma render fidelity for exports — preserve flipped vector bounds, render Figma stroke geometry for shapes/vectors, fix clipped visual overflow, and render drop shadows for stroked shapes from the stroke outline.
• Fix text editing inside selected components and instances on double-click.
• Prevent browser/Safari from intercepting app-level Cmd/Ctrl shortcuts such as undo/redo.
• Fix undo/redo shortcuts firing twice during modifier-key release by handling command shortcuts with event-based dispatch.
• Fix option-drag duplicate undo/redo so undo removes duplicated subtrees and redo restores them instead of moving the copy back.
• Fix section drawing errors and color input attribute forwarding in the property panel.
• Fix demo component instances by laying out source components before creating instances, and restore explicit badge dot/text spacing.
• Keep the global startup loader visible until CanvasKit fonts load and the first font-backed render completes, avoiding a flash of missing text in opened files and the demo.
• Fix hot reload creating duplicate editor tabs during development.
• Improve layout inspector dropdown anchoring and icon clarity for spacing and padding controls.
• Fix bound color variable inspector swatches to display the resolved variable color and detach the binding when edited directly.
• Fix dashed strokes on vector nodes rendering as solid lines — dash pattern now uses PathEffect.MakeDash directly instead of outline conversion, and closed crescent shapes (e.g. annular wedges) render a single dashed centerline arc instead of two parallel arcs.
• Fix gradient fills on text nodes by clipping gradient paints through the shaped paragraph mask.
• Fix CJK and Arabic fallback font rendering so text waits for required fallback fonts and repaints after async fallback loading completes.

Performance

• Cache downloaded remote fonts in app-local storage so reopened documents can reuse them without repeated network fetches.
• Add Tauri API mock coverage for font loading, font cache, external links, document read/write, and save dialogs.
• Add a curated fallback font manifest for CJK and Arabic font downloads.
• Cache instance override resolution and lazily populate opened .fig pages to reduce load time for large community files.
• Reduce zoom and overlay rendering work by separating scene rendering from rulers, selection, labels, and input overlays.

• Nested container navigation — each double-click goes one level deeper
• Dashed border around entered container for visual feedback
• Layer panel click syncs canvas scope automatically
• Vue SDK internationalization primitives — useI18n(), locale detection, persisted locale selection, lazy-loaded locale JSON files, and exported locale metadata for custom editor shells
• Vue SDK docs and public API audit — documented advanced exports (useOkHCL(), variables helpers, viewport and locale APIs), aligned docs with the actual provideEditor() injection model, and expanded release-ready SDK guidance
• npm release pipeline now publishes @open-pencil/core, @open-pencil/cli, @open-pencil/mcp, and @open-pencil/vue together on version tags
• App language picker in the menu bar — switch UI locale without reloading
• Added a vector curve editor and improved drawing experience with the pen tool
• Resume pen drawing from existing open path endpoints — click an endpoint to continue the curve
• Close open paths by dragging one endpoint to the other

• Open… now supports .pen Pencil documents through the shared document reader pipeline while keeping .fig as the native save format
• Display‑P3 document color space pipeline — documents now default to Display‑P3, .fig import/export preserves document color profiles, the live canvas requests P3 surfaces with sRGB fallback, and raster/SVG export paths accept explicit color-space targets
• Color picker overhaul — unified RGB / HSL / HSB / OkHCL field formats, slider-space-aware track/thumb previews, and better neutral-color editing behavior for fills, strokes, gradient stops, and component fills

• Arabic and RTL support across text rendering, editing, layout, export, and AI tooling — text nodes support Auto/LTR/RTL, auto-layout frames support Auto/LTR/RTL flow, and JSX/AI prompts/tools can now generate and edit both explicitly

Fixes

• Fix shortcuts, now work on non-English keyboard layouts.
• Fix imported .fig file open and page-switch regressions — loaded documents now keep graph/store state in sync, remap imported canvas/page children correctly, and recompute imported auto-layout descendants when switching pages
• Fix first canvas render happening before fonts load — wait for fonts before the initial draw to avoid Safari and text measurement glitches
• Preserve fig-kiwi version on .fig roundtrip — imports keep the original header version instead of rewriting everything to a hardcoded value; new files default to version 101
• Normalize auto-layout text export for Figma — text children inside auto-layout frames now serialize with NONE auto-resize to match Figma behavior and avoid overflow on reimport
• Fix keyboard editing regressions after the refactor — canvas shortcuts no longer fire while editing text, and Delete/Backspace no longer delete nodes during text entry

• Improve CJK font fallback coverage — load multiple Google Fonts for broader Han/Japanese/Korean text support
• Normalize more visible UI strings for localized app chrome — menus, panels, variables dialog, code panel, chat setup, and editor controls now respect the selected locale instead of falling back to English in common flows
• Fix imported text rendering in browser and headless export — preserve stored bounds until fonts are ready, restore missing font-loaded guards, use natural width for WIDTH_AND_HEIGHT text, and clip text to node bounds
• Fix browser/headless rendering mismatch for imported toolbar/instance content by correcting runtime imported layout recomputation instead of diverging browser rendering behavior
• Fix set_layout tool not defaulting to HUG sizing when enabling auto-layout — frames now shrink/grow to fit children instead of keeping fixed dimensions
• Normalize font family names on .fig export — strip optical size suffixes (e.g. "DM Sans 9pt" → "DM Sans") so Figma recognizes the font
• TEXT nodes now default to a solid black fill — previously exported with no fill, making text invisible when opened in Figma
• Fix save crash when COLOR variable is missing alpha channel
• Fix console error spam on deployed web app from automation WebSocket reconnect loop
• Fix headless CLI font fallback — bundled Inter font now ships with @open-pencil/core and loads without a web server

• Locked containers block double-click enter
• Marquee selection skips locked and hidden nodes
• COMPONENT/INSTANCE containers are now enterable via double-click
• Replaced the alignment and reflection icons with the correct ones

0.10.0 — 2026-03-15

• AI visual feedback — blue pulsing border on nodes being modified, green flash on completion
• Auto-depth describe — adapts inspection depth to subtree size (small block → deeper, large page → shallower)
• set_fill gradient support — linear gradients with color_end and gradient direction params
• render tool replace_id — atomically swap skeleton placeholders with real content

• Font registration errors no longer cache invalid font data — loadFont only caches after successful CanvasKit registration
• Fix render tool failing on Windows + Bun with "Cannot find module" error (#43)
• Fix hover highlighting nodes from internal component pages — scope hit-test to current page
• Fix hit-testing on transparent frames and groups — empty containers without fills or strokes are now click-through, clipping parents reject hits outside their bounds, matching Figma behavior
• Fix instance overrides on .fig import and clipboard paste — resolve guidPaths by overrideKey, handle component swaps (overriddenSymbolID), propagate through nested clone chains. Import and paste now share a single override engine.
• Apply Figma component property assignments on import — boolean visibility toggles and instance swaps via componentPropRefs/componentPropAssignments
• Apply derivedSymbolData sizes on import — containers now shrink correctly when component properties hide children
• Fix override resolution for nested instance targets — check the current node before searching descendants
• Fix component property assignments for nested instances — resolve scoped componentPropAssignments inside symbolOverrides via guidPath, handle guidValue for instance swaps, reorder phases so transitive sync doesn't clobber visibility
• Pixel-perfect vector rendering using pre-computed fillGeometry/strokeGeometry blobs from .fig files — eliminates white gaps between adjacent stroked shapes
• Stroke outlines on clipboard paste — convert vectorNetwork paths to filled outlines via CanvasKit when geometry blobs are unavailable
• Apply derivedSymbolData transforms and geometry during import — instance children render at correct scale and position
• Fix internal pages becoming visible after .fig round-trip — preserve internalOnly flag on export
• Scope layout recomputation to current page for paste/undo/font-load (major speedup on large multi-page files)
• Show loading overlay until all document fonts are loaded (no more partially rendered text)
• Load fonts when switching pages (previously only loaded for the first page)
• Always show visibility toggle on fill, stroke, and effect rows (matches Figma)
• Fix renderer crash on double destroy when closing files quickly
• Fix .fig page ordering — use deterministic byte comparison for fractional index positions
• Fix text truncation using textTruncation field instead of textAutoResize
• Fix horizontal scrollbar on design and pages panels
• Style scrollbars for Tauri (thin dark overlay instead of default OS chrome)
• Enable file watcher in Tauri — watch feature was missing from tauri-plugin-fs

0.6.0 — 2026-03-04

Features

• Multi-selection properties panel — edit position, size, appearance, fill, stroke, and effects across multiple selected nodes
• Shared values display normally, differing values show "Mixed"

Fixes

• Fix Figma clipboard paste: extract shared kiwi→SceneNode conversion, fixing broken auto-layout, missing gradient/image fills, effects, style runs, and text properties
• Fix vector rendering on paste — scale path coordinates from Figma's normalizedSize to actual node bounds
• Fix pasted instances having no children — populate from component via symbolData when both are in clipboard
• Detect component sets on import — promote FRAME nodes with VARIANT componentPropDefs to COMPONENT_SET
• Skip internal canvas on paste — components on Figma's hidden internal page populate instances but are not pasted as visible nodes
• Apply instance overrides on paste — text content, fills, visibility, layoutGrow, and textAutoResize from symbolOverrides
• Fix auto-layout child ordering — sort by geometric position instead of z-order position strings
• Load fonts on paste and .fig import — collect font families from text nodes and load into CanvasKit
• Text measurement in auto-layout — use CanvasKit paragraph metrics for WIDTH_AND_HEIGHT text nodes
• Recompute layouts after font loading completes
• Fix PERCENT line height conversion — was stored as raw value instead of pixels
• Fix InvalidCharacterError when copying nodes with non-ASCII text
• Load all font weight/style variants needed by pasted text nodes
• Fix font loading not registering in core cache
• Fix halfLeading applied to text measurement — enable only for rendering
• Clear hover on zoom/pinch to keep scene picture cache valid
• Fix flip buttons using rotation math instead of actual mirroring
• Fix flip transform encoding — scale first matrix column only (was incorrectly producing 180° rotation)
• Decode flip state from .fig transform matrix on import

0.5.1 — 2026-03-03

UI

• Resizable pages/layers split in left panel with reka-ui Splitter
• Layers tree auto-expands and scrolls to reveal selected node
• Loading overlay on canvas while opening .fig files
• Hide internal-only pages (e.g. "Internal Only Canvas" in design systems)
• Render page dividers — pages named with only dashes/asterisks/spaces show as horizontal lines
• Only show component labels for COMPONENT and COMPONENT_SET, not instances
• Replace all native <select> dropdowns with reka-ui AppSelect component

• Error toasts are now sticky (don't auto-dismiss), with selectable text, copy button, and close button
• Truncate long node names in export button

Performance

• Per-node SkPicture cache for effect rendering — unchanged shadow/blur nodes replay from cache on scene redraws
• Drop shadows use MaskFilter direct draw instead of saveLayer offscreen buffers
• Cached ImageFilter, MaskFilter, reusable effect paint — zero per-frame WASM allocations for effects
• Reuse GL context on panel resize — swap surface without recreating renderer, preserving all caches

• Extract shared NodeContextMenuContent component to avoid menu duplication
• Fix @open-pencil/core dep in MCP package: workspace:* for local dev (pnpm resolves at publish time)
• Replace store thunks with a late-binding proxy

Tests

• Clipboard roundtrip tests: encode to Figma Kiwi binary → decode → verify
• 9 visual regression snapshot tests for effects rendering
• Zoom/pan E2E tests and pipeline benchmark
• MCP server edge-case tests for find_nodes and Zod validation

• MCP server (@open-pencil/mcp) — 29 tools for headless .fig editing via stdio (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf) or HTTP (Hono + Streamable HTTP with sessions)
• openpencil-mcp and openpencil-mcp-http binaries — install globally via bun add -g @open-pencil/mcp

Build

• All packages emit JS via tsgo + fix-esm-import-path — @open-pencil/core and @open-pencil/mcp work on Node.js without Bun
• Core package exports: bun condition → src (dev), import condition → dist (npm consumers)
• @open-pencil/mcp added to CI publish workflow

[0.3.2] (2026-03-02)

Performance
