ANNOUNCE: dia-0.82



I have just made a new release of dia, which is an application for editing
various types of diagrams.  It is available from:
  ftp://ftp.gnome.org/pub/GNOME/stable/sources/dia/dia-0.82.tar.gz

This is my first release as the new maintainer of dia.  I would like to
thank Alexander Larsson for all his work so far on dia.

Here is a list of the new features in this version:
* Dia has a new maintainer now.
* It is now possible to rearange the icons in the toolbox by editing
  simple XML files.  You can also create new sheets composed of your
  favourite shapes.  This feature is the work of Cyrille Chepelov
* New bezierline object.  This object is by Lars Clausen and me (James).
* Better integration with the gnome file manager -- dia files now have an
  icon, and you can double click on a file to launch dia.
* more memory leak fixes based on purify runs by Bruce Mitchener.
* By holding down shift when using the zoom tool, you can zoom out.  This
  feature was from Patrick Reynolds.
* By holding shift when using the move tool, it changes its behaviour to
  the `grab' type scrolling as seen in acrobat, eog and other programs.
* More circuit shapes from Andreas Scherf.
* Other bug fixes I haven't mentioned above (see ChangeLog for details).
