Canvas Font Rendering: Solving Browser Preview-to-PNG Discrepancies
Browser Canvas can silently fail to render custom fonts, yielding incorrect PNGs. Here's how to ensure deterministic output.
●Builder Action:Developers must implement explicit font loading and verification before rendering to Canvas for export.

Capacitor Introduces File Transfer Plugin for Robust Downloads
New plugin handles background downloads and transfers, solving common app failure modes.
●Builder Action:Developers can now implement reliable background file downloads in Capacitor apps. The plugin abstracts native background task APIs (iOS URLSession, Android foreground services), returning task identifiers for persistent state management and allowing transfers to survive app restarts or webview closures. This simplifies building download managers and ensures user-initiated downloads complete without manual intervention.
