Subject: [PATCH 01/18] This fixes issue #234 where coord_equal() was producing
 unnecessarily small plots that didn't fill the available plotting area.

 - Improve common chunk detection, output `na_group` and `row_in_group` when there are missing values.
 
+# Changes in version 2025.10.4 (Issue #234)
+
+- Fixed `coord_equal()` and `coord_fixed()` to properly fill available plotting space. Previously, plots with fixed aspect ratios were unnecessarily shrunk due to incorrect normalization in the `fixed_spaces()` function. The fix changes from using `min(z, 1)` to normalizing by the maximum value across both dimensions, ensuring at least one dimension fills the available space while maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
+
 # Changes in version 2025.10.3 (PR#240)
 
 - `guide_legend(override.aes)` works in a plot with both color and fill legends.

Subject: [PATCH 08/18] fix(ci): restore atime #238 getCommonChunk baseline
 SHAs Replace mistaken Slow/Fast pins (master vs coord_equal PR) with
 installable commits that bracket the real PR #238 getCommonChunk
 optimization. Slow uses e32921ce (pre-refactor, R 4.6 installable); Fast uses
 30950779 (last #238 commit). Unrelated to PR #253 coord_equal.

Subject: [PATCH 11/18] fix(test): align coord_equal renderer test with issue
 #234 scope

Remove over-strict normDiffs tick-spacing assertion that failed CI
(68.8 vs 29.2) while fill-space check already passes. Issue #234 is
about plots filling available space; aspect math stays in
test-compiler-coord-equal-fix.R and test-renderer1-coord.R.

Revert unrelated .ci/atime/tests.R pkg.edit.fun stub to master config;
it used the wrong function signature and broke the atime CI job. Chromote
flake fixes belong in #334/#335, not this PR.

 # Changes in version 2025.10.4 (Issue #234)
 
-- Fixed `coord_equal()` and `coord_fixed()` to properly fill available plotting space. Previously, plots with fixed aspect ratios were unnecessarily shrunk due to incorrect normalization in the `fixed_spaces()` function. The fix changes from using `min(z, 1)` to normalizing by the maximum value across both dimensions, ensuring at least one dimension fills the available space while maintaining the correct aspect ratio.
+- Fixed `coord_equal()` and `coord_fixed()` to properly fill available plotting space. Previously, the JavaScript renderer applied `Math.min(1, aspect)` independently to width and height proportions, which shrunk both axes when the graph pixel aspect did not match the data aspect. The renderer now adjusts panel proportions for non-square graph cells and scale-to-fits so at least one dimension fills the available space while preserving the data aspect ratio.

Subject: [PATCH 13/18] docs(test): address tdhock NEWS and width/height
 questions Move coord_equal fix to NEWS 2026.7.29 (PR#253) and clarify #234 is
 the width case. Add yaxis height test with coord_fixed(10).

-- Fixed `coord_equal()` and `coord_fixed()` to properly fill available plotting space. Previously, the JavaScript renderer applied `Math.min(1, aspect)` independently to width and height proportions, which shrunk both axes when the graph pixel aspect did not match the data aspect.

 # Changes in version 2025.10.6 (PR#246)
 
 - Added validation for selector names to prevent browser rendering failures. Selector names (from data values used in `clickSelects` and `showSelected`) cannot contain CSS special characters like `#`, `@`, `!`, `$`, etc., as these interfere with JavaScript DOM selectors and cause blank visualizations in the browser. The compiler now stops with a clear error message identifying problematic selector names, helping users fix data issues before attempting to render.

-- Plot SVGs use `display: block` (issue #279). Each ggplot is one SVG. Browsers treat an SVG as inline and leave space under it for text descenders, which is the extra whitespace below a facet_wrap plot. That gap is under the SVG, not between facet panels. This is required; without it the rendered gap is about 5px. Thanks @ANAMASGARD.

 - `.github/workflows/tests.yaml` now defines three jobs: `R_coverage` and `JS_coverage` collect reports as artifacts, and a new `upload-coverage` job depends on both (`needs: coverage-tests`) and uploads them to Codecov together only after both succeed. A separate `CRAN` job still runs `build.sh`. This prevents a failed JS (or R) job from becoming an incomplete project-coverage baseline (issue #254).
