I have the same question.
I am looking for an open source alternative for commercial software
like Visio. I’ve researched quite a few diagraming tools. Dia is the
one that has the most of the features that I am looking for. The
converter from Visio to SVG is something that’s really appealing
because we have a lot of existing diagrams in Visio format. But when
I tried to use it on Windows, it seems to crash a lot for some
reason. I’ve played with Dia for quite few hours, and everytime when
I try to create new shapes or sheets it will crash. I can send out
more detailed bug report later, but in the meantime, it would be good
to know whether this is still in active development.
BTW, is there a good up-to-date tutorial on creating new shaps and
sheets? Not via the GUI interface, but rather a guide on what each of
the XML tag mean in the shape files.

Did you try this one? It looks like a SVG shape embedded in XML, it's
not that fancy.
Thank you for your help.

I really enjoy your product. Is there going to be another release
after 0.97.2? Its been a few years since last release and wanted to
know if this tools is still supported?
The last commit in git is from 2 days ago. Mostly translations, but also
changes in the program source code. It's definitely still supported.
