Maybe you can help us improve the NEWS file linked in my original mail
http://svn.gnome.org/svn/dia/trunk/NEWS

I could - you want it in HTML with features grouped in sections? ;P

The feature you are requesting is hidden behind this paragraph:

   * a huge step forward regarding properties of grouped objects
     http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=60331

Yeah I've read this I wasn't sure if it will include UML classes as they 
seem very specific. Nice to know it will.

2. Support for keys in UML class. I mean something like it's already
done for "visibility" of attributes. This is available for many CASE
tools and I tend to use Dia as one ;). Main key types could be primary,
foreign and partial.
Do you have some pointer to UML specs. regarding this? For me this sounds
very much like you are (mis;)using the UML Class for database design.

Have you ever seen a CASE application in which it is done differently? 
Sure, you need to transform classes, but it's almost transparent in the 
ones I used (schema comes almost directly form specially marked classes).

With 0.97 this will not be necessary anymore due to (again from NEWS):

   * new database table relation shapes

I thought it was about some new kinds of relations. Nice to know I was 
wrong ;).

All of them should be visible as icons in the main
view (eg. golden key, silver key and maybe two keys on a keyring). I can
try to make those icons if someone would be willing to implement this :).

Not me :)

Yeah. But if there will be shapes for tables you have to distinguish 
columns that are keys somehow. Right? Why not use pictures instead of 
standard <<FK>> <<PK>>? Pictures are smaller.

Nux.
