No need to guess if you understand the branch strategy of Dia releases.
The high level summary of releases is availbale via:
https://git.gnome.org/browse/dia/tree/NEWS

The issue under discussion is not directly in the NEWS file, but it is the 
first one listed by the referenced query:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?product=dia&target_milestone=0.98
