Roadmap for 0.92

[Lars Clausen <lrclause cs uiuc edu>]

It's time to look at getting 0.92 out (actually, more than time).  With
autorouting and parenting added, it'll be a worthwhile new version.  Here's
a list of things that I'd like to see done before we release:

Parenting:  
 * Undo support -- very important!
 * Add menu items for parenting and unparenting single objects.
 * Consider the file format -- old versions of Dia can't see children.
 * Correctly handle objects created partly inside, partly outside a parent.

Autorouting:
 * Need undo to work -- very important!
 * Need direction indications on remaining objects (shapes in particular).
   Standard objects are done, and UML thanks to Krzysztof.

UI:
 * Need some indication on the left/right arrow icons that these are for 
   selecting arrowheads.  I've had several bugreports of people who
   couldn't figure that out:(

Other:
 * Apply remaining patches.
 * Get Win32 runtimes in order.
 * Look at remaining important bugs.

Some things I'd like to consider for the next release:
 * Better text entry (using a GtkTextView)
 * Object highlighting for user feedback.
 * More use of object menus, in particular for sheet-specific things.
 * Conversion of remaining non-stdprops objects.
