Project status

...time...

Time has passed by and DiaCanvas has had it's time in place. Current development on GTK+ (mainly the integration of the Cairo library and the deprication of the GnomeCanvas library) has made this library quite out-of-date. For most people this library has become an installation nightmare.

Gaphor, the foremost application thatuses DiaCanvas, has abandoned this library in favor of it's own, Python based,library. Libraries like goocanvas and crcanvas have taken the place of DiaCanvas.
