[Lars Clausen <lars raeder dk>]

Starting work towards 0.93, the first prerelease is out today.  Please
download it at ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/sources/dia/0.93/ and try
it out.  Report bugs to bugzilla at least.

Newsworthy items are:

* Text-rendering is faster due to a Pango layout cache.

* The Win32 version now also uses Freetype2 rendering, allowing more
  unified appearance and antialiasing.

* Standard Ellipse now has connection point and handle in center, and
  is resized around the center.

* Arrow head size selection now keeps aspect ratio by default.

* Line style and arrow head selectors now visual instead of textual in
  properties dialogs.

* Several sets of shapes added, including isometric map, cybernetics, 

* Added navigation window in lower-right corner.

* UML objects can now have color.

* Dia can now convert objects without requiring X.  PNG size can be
  specified with --size.

* Menus have been overhauled, more shortcuts added.

* Preedit text input much improved.

* Numerous improvements in metapost and xfig filters.

* Default arrow size now 0.5 cm.

* Minimum diagram size is very small now.

* Improvements to the Python plug-in.

* Shapes now support images.

* Greeked text replacing very small font rendering.

* Added XSLT sheets:  Python, OWL, Mac, Component List

* Shapes can now have extra properties, shown only in the dialog.

* New arrows: Half-circle and Filled Dot And Triangle.

* Many, many bugs and leaks fixed.

This time, if anyone feel like doing real development during the release
process, we shall make a 0.94-devel branch.
