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* All RenderObjects have been replaced by equivalent shapes, and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.
all dependencies on packages depending on "png" which contain shared
libraries, all for the (imminent) update to the "png" package.

* Input method support should work correctly now.
* SVG shape files now use namespace from final W3C recommendation.
Addon shapes will have to be modified to use the
http://www.w3.org/2000/SVG namespace for SVG. SVG export filter
also uses correct doctype.
* menus should now work in both gtk+ and gnome builds and have no i18n
related problems. Don't look in app/menus.c.
* pstricks renderer output should now work fine without modification now.
* gdk-pixbuf is now a requirement for building dia. It no longer
falls back to imlib if it can't find gdk-pixbuf.
* handle "file not found" errors better in the image object type.
* Dia now has documentation thanks to the GDP. The help menu now has
more than just an about menu item.
* Antialiased drawing mode probably won't crash dia anymore
* Dia has a splash screen now (which can be turned off with the
--nosplash option).
* Updated bonobo support (when --enable-bonobo is used)
* added expose event compression for the dia canvas, which makes dia
more usable over remote X connections.
* Many objects updated to use properties interface.
* experimental unicode print support (--enable-unicode)
* updates to the python plugin and now distribute it with dia (--with-python)
* many new shapes and export filter plugins.
* other bug fixes.
can do UML class diagrams, Entity-Relationship modeling, network diagrams,
and much more. The engine is very flexible and dynamically loads
diagram-types from disk. It can currently export to postscript and
load/save in an xml format.
