Play holds while a layer loads the frame for its time, and the bar's only
sign of it was a faint pulse, so a stopped handle read as a stall. The
bubble now shows a small spinner beside the time while play is held. It
comes on once a hold lasts long enough to notice and stays through a run of
slow frames, so neither a quick frame nor the gaps between frames flash it.
With layers of very different reach on together, a month of launches and
a few hours of lightning, the short-range ticks were crushed at the end of
the one shared track. Scroll or pinch on the track now zooms it around the
handle, plus and minus zoom from the keyboard, and zero or a double-click
shows it all again. Everything still plays together; zooming only changes
what the track shows, and the view follows the handle as it plays, steps or
is left behind by now. A scrub's live edge goes by the stretch shown, so a
zoomed track can land minutes from now, and a double-click or pinch puts
back the time its first press moved.
At 10 km per pixel each fire was a marker-sized spot that faded into the
imagery from the globe view. A 2048 px grid with the same one-pixel blur
makes every spot exactly twice as wide (~60 km for a lone weak fire),
still separate, and the build is three times faster.
The heat raster was 2048 px wide with a 3 px blur, so every fire spread
over ~200 km and the far-zoom map read as clouds next to the markers.
Double the grid to ~10 km per pixel and blur by one pixel: a lone fire
is now a spot about as wide as its marker at the 3,000 km hand-off.
A building word ending the ask ('… Chapel', '… Library', '… Hall') now
passes the last-word rule only when the result is one a building ask
would accept, so a campus, zoo or district whose name merely starts the
ask (Duke University, Old Town) no longer answers it.
- A building word ("Burj Khalifa Tower", "Sagrada Familia Church") passes
the last-word rule on a building-like result; enclosures stay out.
- The anchor chooses only among the best-named outlines, so a worse name
never wins by containment alone.
- An ask without a quadrant takes only the quadrant of the matching street
nearest the point; a leading quadrant ("SE Main St") may go unsaid too.
- On an unbuffered tile edge a fragment shows as an edge along the
boundary, so a whole building touching it at a corner is not cut.
- Drop two orphaned comments and correct the place-name key wording.
Opening Utilities while Data Layers is open no longer forgets that Contact
was folded for the first, and closing one of them leaves Contact folded
while the other is still open. Enter and Esc in a drawn shape's name keep
focus in the field instead of dropping it to the page. The draw tool's
destroy test now checks it stops following the board, and the Draw gate's
amber-count comment sits on its function again.
