Hello.

I recently updated my version of dia (cvs) and wow! there's a lot of
work going on there and it fits my needs much more than others
because:

1) I just want to draw UMLs.
2) You have much more freedom than in other tools.

What I am currently missing (but I could fake it ;-) are multiple
instances in behavioral modeling. Well you can see it at page 314 in
"The UML User Guide" or here is a 'nice' ASCII example.

eg:

 +-------+
 |:Master|
 +-------+
    |                +------+
   +-+ <<create>>   +------+|  <<*********** {multiple slaves}
   | |------------->|:Slave|+
   | |              +------+
   | |  deleteJob(x)   |
   | |--------------->+-+
   | |                | |
   | |                | |
   | |                | |
   | |                | |
   | |                | |
   | |                | |
   | |<- - - - - - - -+-+
   +-+                 |
    |                  |
    |                  +
    |
    |


Another thing I am missing, but which is right now really no problem,
is the number of points where you can connect in a focus of
control. Currently there are just three possibilities, but as I have
stated, no problem right now.

Nevertheless keep up going !! And one last question, do you mind
attaching a core-file to a bug-report?

Yours,
  -Sebastian
