On Shapes and SVG

[anthonym overture com]

I've been trying to figure out where and how SVG is supported in dia.
The problem I would like to address is that currently many exported
shapes do not import because the Arc path is written when you export
a shape file but not properly read when a shape file is read.  Looking
through the archives I notice several people mentioning doing work on
SVG, but I haven't seen many entries in the changelog for SVG.

Is there anyone doing any ongoing work on SVG?  If not could someone
give me a quick rundown of where I might need to look to support
the 'A' in paths (since that seems to be what is used for writing), or
better yet a quick explanation of how SVG currently works and what is
missing?

Also, when creating custom shapes I often find myself spending a lot
of time removing connection points.  I've found myself creating a dia
file with a shape.  Exporting it as a shape and then having to edit
the .shape file to remove connection points.  Has any thought gone into
the ability to remove connections points from objects?

Thanks for the info,

-Anthony
