+
+       * lib/charconv.c : g_locale_to_utf8() does not handle NULL
+       strings. Use g_strdup() for these.
+
+       libxml2 does not produce 'any extra indentation when saving a tree'
+       [libxml2-2.4.2/doc/upgrade.html] anymore, which was the default with
+       libxml(1). To get human readable XML some extra tweaking is required.
+       It is enabled by setting 'pretty_formated_xml' to 'true' in 'diarc'.
+       * lib/dia_xml.[hc] : provide and use 'DIAVAR pretty_formated_xml'
+       * app/preferences.[ch] : initialize 'pretty_formated_xml'
+
+       * lib/libdia.def : updated externals
+
+       * lib/properties.h : add prototype for prop_list_from_single ()
+
+       * plug-ins/makefile.msc : build metapost plug-in
+
+       * plug-ins/metapost/render_metapost.c : msvc does not like
+       switch labels without operation 'default: }'. Added a noop.
+
+       * plug-ins/python/pydia-text.[hc] : (new files) wrap DiaText
+       * plug-ins/python/diamodule.c : added PyDiaText
+       * plug-ins/python/makefile.msc : dito. Also added LIBXML_CFLAGS.
+       Although the python plug-in does not use libxml at all, the
+       headers are required to use the lib/prop*.h headers
+
+       * plug-ins/python/pydia-diagramdata.c : added wrappers for
+       update_extents and get_sorted_selected (should I duplicate
+       more functions from PyDiaDiagram or should they be moved?)
+
+       * plug-ins/python/pydia-properties.c : allow to set (some) properties
+       through the dictionary api
+       * plug-ins/python/pydia-property.h : declare PyDiaProperty_ApplyToObject
+       * plug-ins/python/pydia-property.c : implement it (currently only
+       string properties can be set)
+
+       Reimplement PyDiaProperty_GetAttr by means of the new StdProp api.
+       Quoting myself: 'Still not convinced that this is better than an
+        integral property->type and some casting ...
+        It is trading a straightforward 40 lines switch statement to
+        this nice 'type safe' function mapping (about 125 lines)'
+       (But now it works again, better than changing the News file :)

+       patch from <robert young dsto defence gov au>:
+       * objects/UML/component.c: remember to set font in UML component
+       object (fixes #62132)
