We are now calling ourselves ready to send out 0.96 final release. The bugs are thinned down drastically, and we believe it's time to get back to adding cool new features. You can download the release at http://download.gnome.org/sources/dia/0.96/ Feel free to announce the release in your favorite software catalog, news site etc. Here's a text appropriate for posting (the first paragraph made to stand alone for where smaller blurbs are required):
The Dia developers are proud to release version 0.96 of the popular diagramming tool Dia. Dia is a tool for making diagrams and schematic illustrations for articles, books, documentation, modelling and other uses, inspired by Visio, but with a simple and intuitive interface. The version introduced import and export of Visio VDX files, improves the font rendering, adds a sheet of BPMN objects, and has numerous other fixes and improvements. Visio VDX interoperability has been added by Ian Redfern. It is still in a beta stage, but should help those in diverse environments or who want to migrate away from Visio. The font width issues that have plagued Dia the last several releases should now be fixed, both for zooming and for printing. We have also changed to the GtkAction framework in preparation for a tool-bar option. Anthony Molinaro has provided a set of objects for Business Process Modelling (BPMN). Bug fixes and improvements too numerous to mention have been applied in many places, making this a quite stable release. Linux users of earlier versions should take note that text widths may change significantly when updating to 0.96. However, text widths should be more stable between zoom levels and different export options now. Plug-in writers should take note that the plug-in API has changed slightly. -Lars _______________________________________________ Dia-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/dia-list FAQ at http://live.gnome.org/Dia/Faq Main page at http://live.gnome.org/Dia
