dia-0.97.3: 2014-09-05
* Fix double free with some SVG rendering (regression from Dia 0.97.2)
* Fixes to cope better with updated versions of Dia's dependencies:
- don't crash at start-up with ABI breaking GLib 2-36
- don't assert in cairo 1.12 with invalid arc parameters
- avoid kerning problems (character overlap) for all Pango versions
- fix image files to be loadable by libpng16
* Backport fixes for some seldom crashes and other annoyances, see:
http://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=dia&target_milestone=0.97.3
* Update translations for Brazilian Portuguese, German, Hungarian,
Polish, Romanian, Serbian and Slovenian
changes:
-High quality cross-platform print and pdf output by use of cairo
-Rotated text, but only with the new "Standard - Ouline" object
-Object properties dialog finally does handle multiple objects
-Improved text edit mode for consistent handling of the Delete key
-A new integrated user interface mode with diagrams in tabs
-Almost 200 bugs and feature requests resolved
pkgsrc note: the printing problem mentioned in TODO is resolved
(some outdated nonsense in options.mk disabled use of "cairo")
changes:
* Text rendering is now based on the TextLine objects, each of which
contain one line of text along with font and font height. This has
allowed proper control of text width and speedier rendering.
* Visio VXD files can now be imported and exported, thanks to Ian
Redfern.
-internal API changes
* A number of new keyboard shortcuts.
* Layer visibility is now undoable.
* New sheets for Business Process Modelling
-bugfixes

(no PKGREVISION bump because the default case is not affected)
Help display seems fundamentally broken to me in the !gnome case;
the code looks for an "index.html" which is not installed (and which
no make rule is present for).
changes:
-"mainpoint" system allows lines to always point towards the middle
-Python plug-ins added
-automatically change grid size depending on zoom level
-Text input now highlights the object
-security problems fixed in XFig import and Python plug-in
-new shapes added
-new UML objects added
-Full screen mode
-Improved SVG import
-Plug-in loading and unloading doesn't require restart
-i18n problems fixed
-bugs have been fixed
-Command line usage has improved
-ses the new GTK+ File Dialog
pkgsrc change:
-precompile Python files
many changes / fixes (see NEWS for details)
including:
* Autorouting of orthconn lines. Still fairly primitive, doesn't avoid
objects, but at least goes the right way out of connectionpoints (when
connectionpoints have their dirs set).
* Parenting. Objects can now be set to be parents of others (so far, only
the UML Large Package is set so by default). Objects created into these
or explicitly added are moved with the parent and cannot be moved
outside.
* Dynamic grid that changes with zoom scale.
* Grid now has thicker line every n lines (default 5). Stippled grid
option removed.
* Mouse wheel(s) can be used to scroll and zoom.
* More diagram properties can be set for existing diagrams, and are loaded
and saved.
* UML Component features: Event sources and sinks.
* Improved undo of grouping and ungrouping.
* Updates of the Python plugin:
- groups, rgb, and images can be manipulated
- better svg parsing
* Gnome and Gnome HIG conformance better.
* Better text alignment in flowchart objects.
* Better SVG export.
* Better arrow head calculations.
* More tooltips.
This also fixes a gcc3 build problem.

Note: dia may crash if LC_CTYPE is unset. Setting it to
"en_US.ISO8859-1" works for me)
* in FreeType mode, dia now looks for the xfs configuration files too
to retrieve the font path.
* Polish version of the manual added
* a load-time compatibility issue with files produced by 0.88.1 was
found and fixed for some UML objects.
* we now better use the intltool facilities
* increased tolerance to broken XML files
* ER objects can have their text size changed
* a couple bugs (i18n, l10n, p9y) fixed
* from now on, all XML files produced by dia will be encoded as UTF-8.
* Metapost renderer
* Faster Postscript files.
* More options in the UML Class dialog.
* An optional menu bar can be added to each display window, in
addition to the popup menu.
* All RenderObjects have been replaced by equivalent shapes, and
RenderObject support code removed.
* All Lazyprop objects have been converted to Standard Properties
instead. Lazyprop support code removed.
* lots of internal changes and cleanups in the StdProp code. This
breaks binary compatibility.
* Shapes can now have a <svg:text> element.
* polybeziers and beziergons now have their bounding box properly computed.
* a few new shapes have been added.
* crashes in the right-click menu have been nailed.
