+DiaCanvas is in its second incarnation: DiaCanvas2. Aiming towards future
+computing needs on GNOME based desktop environments, DiaCanvas2 is providing
+you with a full featured diagramming canvas:
+   - Model/View/Controller based design: The DiaCanvas class only holds
+     abstract data (using DiaShape objects), the data is rendered by one or
+     more DiaCanvasView's.
+   - Usage of the widely used GnomeCanvas for visualization. This makes it
+     easy to let DiaCanvas2 display anti-aliased diagrams with translucency
+     (alpha) support.
+   - Export facilities for GnomePrint and SVG.
+   - Objects can be rotated/sheared/resized/etc. without the need to
+     recalculate shapes. DiaCanvas relies heavily on the LibArt library
+     (which is a standard GNOME library).
+   - Objects can connect to each other with handles. The connection is
+     represented as a mathematical equation, which is solved using a real
+     linear constraint solver (see the reference documentation for more info).
+     Handles do not need predefined connection points, but can connect to each
+     other in a more generic way. 
+   - Of course DiaCanvas2 has all the features a modern application needs,
+     including undo/redo and copy/paste functionality (copying is not
+     implemented yet).
