Re: Pending patches for Dia 0.98 ?

[Murat Knecht <murat knecht gmx de>]

Hi Hans,

do you have a deadline in mind, for incoming patches? A friend and I've
been working on a stencil-set for dia, and obviously would have it
included in 0.98. If you could give us a timeframe, we can estimate,
whether or not we can make it. Thanks!

Regards,
Murat
