James:
Now you say it, I also agree with you. But then, instead of correcting
the NEWS file, may be Dia itself should be corrected:
I beleive that
if an user designs a .shape file and writes "..... /SVG" instead of
"..../svg", that shape is not loaded.
(I beleive this happened to me, and it was because of this that I noted
the difference...).
