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* All RenderObjects have been replaced by equivalent shapes, and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.
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.
