     •     Undoing a diagram style change now updates the outline

return.

the state of remaining canvases and lead to an exception.

and fixed and polished.

positioning when nudged with arrow keys.

     •     Made some more performance optimizations.
     •     Fixed an issue with diagram styles not properly replacing  
some attributes of some objects.
     •     When units are pixels or points, and the scale is greater  
than 10, you now get hash marks in your ruler.
     •     Fixed tables made out of auto-resizing text objects.

all caps, etc.

rotated groups.

disconnecting lines.

directory inside file packages when using SubVersion.

Localizations
     •     All Tier 1 foreign language localizations (Dutch, French,  
German, Italian, Japanese, and Spanish) have been integrated, to  
include the online Help Viewer files, Welcome document, Keyboard  
Shortcuts document, etc.
     •     Various Nib-related bugs with regards to the localizations  
have been fixed.

Note that all Tier 1 localizations are in place (huzzah!). Barring  
any unforeseen blockers, data corruptors, or crashers we hope to  
release the final version next week. Feedback, as always, should be  
directed to omnigraffle at omnigroup.com.

Thanks, and enjoy!
