Hello All,

I'll try to get the installer ready as soon as possible.
I have a CAIRO plug-in now, but it doesn't contain
any new export filters.

Maybe somebody (Hans ?) can tell me which #defines
make sense to use in order to get a useful CAIRO plug-in.


The most important define is HAVE_CAIRO from Dia's config.h
The other defines come from cairo-features.h and say what's
compiled into cairo. The only useful and available option
on win32 with 1-0-2 is CAIRO_HAS_PNG_FUNCTIONS.

The PDF and PS surface are not available for win32 without
depending on Freetype. And they are not considered useful
enough by the cairo people to be officially supported on
all platforms for 1.0.x.

The CAIRO_HAS_WIN32X_SURFACE is (or better was) my attempt to
have a wmf based backend in cairo. But nowadays it is almost
discussed to death. See: http://hans.breuer.org/gtk/cairo.html

Yes, but it's all done by gdk-pixbuf, which does not appear to be able
to save gif at least up to 2.6.10, only load them.

How about the Windows clipboard renderer. I guess that would be useful,
however, I don't know how to configure it.

Re: 0.95-pre1 uploaded

2006-02-13 Thread Steffen Macke
Hello All,

the Dia for Windows 0.95-pre1 installer is available from

http://dia-installer.sourceforge.net

Please install the GTK+ Runtime Environment from
gimp-win.sourceforge.net first.

The installer is a complete rewrite, one of the major new features is
that the installer will only uninstall the files actually installed
(Using uninstall.log).
However, this doesn't seem to work for the initial installation. If
you want to use
it, please install Dia a second time over the initial installation to create
uninstall.log. Help to investigate this problem in the installer
sources is welcome.

I've moved dia sources and installer sources to a separate dia package
in order not
to confuse the average Windows users with 3 files to choose from for
the download.
To locate it, go to the download page of the sourceforge project.

Regards,

Steffen
