There isn't a roadmap as such But basically what's meant here is to move past 2005! Even at the last release almost a decade ago Dia used long deprecated components and outdated libraries Fast forward to 2019 and not only has gtk2 been replaced by gtk3 we actually have gtk4 right around the corner Dia also lacks consistent code style or naming making it tricky to maintain Thus I've been slowly working my way though Dia enforcing some kind of consistent style more inline with that used across GNOME as well as preparing to move to gtk3 This should make Dia significantly more maintainable (allowing for easier feature work) and generally ensuring it's continuing existence, distros like Debian had stated they may have to stop shipping Dia due to use of outdated libraries Hopefully that makes sense > > > > > > > On 7/28/19 8:07 PM, Zander Brown wrote: > > > > > > On Sun, 2019-07-28 at 13:41 +0300, A.
