Before doing a pre1 you should consider disabling the timing/debug code in app/display.c introduced in revision 1.88: http://cvs.gnome.org/viewcvs/dia/app/display.c?r1=1.87&r2=1.88 > > Hans and Lars, please let us know whether there are som areas, which need > > some extra intensive crash-testing, so that we soon can have a good and > > stable release. > > This is a difficult question.
