Enhancements:

• Added color tinting for graphics. Imported graphics, clip-art, and grayscale symbols can be tinted with a fill color to bring full color capabilities to all diagrams, even those you produce with outside artwork.
• Expanded color schemes. A variety of pre-defined color schemes have been added for the major diagram templates making it easy to start a diagram with a full set of color-coordinated symbols.
• Added support for new graphics formats for importing clip-art and for exporting diagrams. The new formats include GIF, PNG, TIFF, and more.
• Snip Connector feature. Connectors can now be easily cut in half at any point.
• Check for Updates feature and optional automatic reminders make it easy to keep up to date on future product updates.
• Revert to Last Saved Version feature. This feature lets you easily abandon all changes since you last saved your diagram.
• Curve Improvements. Curved connectors are more powerful. They now fully support connector labels (without distortion) and jogs. In prior versions, labels placed on curves could cause the curve to distort where it met the label.
• Capabilities for editing and maintaining connectors have been improved. You can now reposition connector ends with greater flexibility including attaching to other connectors. In addition, junctions required to attach connectors to one another are now eliminated automatically when appropriate, keeping diagrams cleaner and easier to manage. Plus, you now have the ability to 'merge' two connectors by dragging their ends together.
• Boundagon improvements. When you import a graphic image or clip-art file, the contours of the symbol are traced to determine its approximate outline shape which is then used to draw it properly and attach connectors. This outline is nicknamed a 'boundagon' and its calculation has been improved to better reflect unusual shapes.
• An option has been added to suppress the splash screen upon start-up.
• Clear terminology has been replaced by the more conventional Delete.
• Individual objects can now be deselected using shift-click.
• Print All lets you select a printer rather than restricting you only to the default printer.
• Toolbar button support has been added for Align and Resize features.
• The symbols in the style bar can now be displayed in full color.
• Connector segments can now be selected and deattached from (dragged off of) a junction of three or more segment by selecting only the one and dragging it.
• The cursor changes to include a small "+" sign when over a figure or connector to which the end will become attached.
• Junctions created automatically (when a connector is dragged to attach to another) are now automatically removed when the connector segment is no longer attached, provided that the removal of the junction has no effect on the path.
• When copying diagram objects from one diagram to another, they are now pasted to the same location on the page for greater convenience.
• Improved network support. Open diagram files are locked until closed to prevent two users from making simultaneous changes resulting in one being lost. When the second user attempts to open a file already in use, they will receive a message and an option to open the file read-only.
• Improved mouse wheel support. Shift scrolls horizontally, control zooms in and out.
