The patch is one out of several possibilities we have to fix this
problem. We are currently thinking about implementing splines in other
graph types as well, and we must be very careful about what we are doing
if we do not want to have compatibility problems later. That's why the
patch has not been applied yet. So  new version would not help at the
moment.
