Hi Alejandro,

This is a good news indeed. You are right that I wasn looking at dia 
0.90 - this is what made its way into vanilla RedHat. It's a  bit pain 
in the neck to look at current CVS, because of this nice spaghetti 
affect when you start to upgrade packages (someone has just mentioned it 
here).

As this (the bleeding edge problem) seems to be an issue, perhaps 
someone could try to set up a rudimentary how-to on what should be 
upgraded and what are you about to loose in your system when you do the 
upgrade? If someone who went through the process could put up together 
several points and post it somewhere? I would be grateful. I volunteer 
to drop in my experience once I get to tackling this.

Last but not the lest, someone recently written that UML2.0 was released 
in January. This contradicts with my knowledge - the rumours I heard is 
that it is not gonna make it this year probably. The OMG website has not 
published anthing yet.


cheers

Andrzej
