Don't know exactly, but most probably introduced in the latest
versions, yes.

No, but it will obviously fail because measuring the distance only
works for rounded lines, of course.

Rounded join (default):


            #
         #######
       ###########
     ###############
    ######## ########
   ########   ########


Miter join:

          #
         ###
        #####
       #######
      #### ####
     ####   ####
    ####     ####

    
Bevel join:

        #####
       #######
      #### ####
     ####   ####
    ####     ####


    
Also, there are different caps:

Round (normal):     Square:     No cap:

     ###             ####
    #####            ####
    #####            ####        ####
    #####            ####        ####

Sorry, still don't get it :( Can you use simple words instead?

Hmmmm, maybe you mean the query point itself is transformed so that it
is relative to the normal size and orientation of the shape? Ok, that
makes sense. Would be interesting to know if scaling makes any
difference since the shape might contain small parts which are
invisible at it's normal size but are relevant when the shape is
greatly magnified. From the renderer point of view this might be very
relevant (like missing detail when upscaling a bitmap).
