Re: dia-0.87.tar.gz available
Does anyone know of a reason why custom sheets wouldn't load with the 0.87 release? I had a plugin working with 0.86, and the two-day-old CVS version, and now, I can't get my custom sheet to show up in the toolbar. I'm supposed to demo this plugin soon, and I'm starting to get nervous. Any suggestions?

I haven't announced this very widely yet, but if no one finds anything serious, I will put out announcements tomorrow. James.

Re: dia-0.87.tar.gz available
I will keep an eye out for that if I start writing SVG-based custom objects; as I said, though, I'm having problems loading a custom *sheet*. The shapes included in it are all implemented in C.

Re: dia-0.87.tar.gz available
Well, this may just be my fault for jumping on the newest version of Python fairly regularly, but I seem to be missing an Automake macro needed for the Python plugin -- AM_PATH_PYTHON_JH(1.5.2) -- which kills the build process. My system is running RH7, with the Ximian GNOME 1.4 distro and Python 2.1. Is this AM file a part of the standard Python installation, or the PyGTK or PyGNOME libraries, or some other package that I don't have? If anyone can post a copy (or point me to it quickly), I'd love to help give 0.87 a shakedown. P.S.: I'm still working on the linked diagram plugin, but my C is rustier than I thought, and I'm hunting down a couple of nasty bugs. Once it's in decent shape to see the light of day, I'll make sure everyone here knows.

I have made a patch to add menu bars to display windows (as an option). As it integrate itself in the overall GUI architecture, it would nice if it were integrate early in the next release tree. see http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=52364 (Note the patch needs to be updated to match the latest source tree. Il do it tomorrow morning CEST). I think I'm badging you for this, but the first I proposed the idea, I got some positive feedback. So now that it is in a state where it works and that were are about to start a new release, I think it is a good opportunity to push for it. Another advantage of this feature is visual integration with the rest of Gnome-Office whose Dia belong too. Hub

I don't think this is a problem with dia, although perhaps the .tar.gz distribution file should include an up-to-date HTML version of the sgml docs. Aren't HTML versions of the files included in make dist? Basically, the first error message means that your SGML tools aren't configured for the GNOME documentation project specifications. Take a look at http://www.labs.redhat.com/png/custom.html for instructions on fixing things up (directories for Red Hat, but procedure should work for anything).

The docs Kevin did use the Gnome Documentation Project custom docbook DTD that adds support for PNG graphics. I am not sure what the best way of checking for it is. The xfig import plug-in is somewhat broken: It will load most things, but can cause a crash when closing the diagram. I'll go a-hunting. We can mark the xfig import as being `immature' in the release notice if you want. Other than that, it looks fine. Now we can start looking at what should go into the next release. Sounds like there are enough small problems to make a 0.88 release and not widely announce 0.87. Is there any other problems that will cause dia to fail to compile, die during common operations, etc that should be fixed for a release like this?
