Bug#570523: Not yet available

[Peter Moulder <Peter.Moulder@infotech.monash.edu.au>]

The 0.17 version is just a prototype, whose README.txt
says “The source code for Dunnart is not currently available”.

It is expected to be rewritten in GPL'd form (with Qt instead of the current
custom toolkit on SDL); and it's hoped that there'll be something released but
not usable around mid-year, and something usable by the end of the year.


(In the meantime, anyone looking for similar software might look at the software
 mentioned at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dia_(software)#See_also.
 Note too that some parts of Dunnart (connector routing, removing node overlap)
 have already been added to Inkscape.)


Programming language:

  The programming language for 0.17 is C++, and presumably the redeveloped
  version is too.

  I see that the source tree includes some software called Cider (a sort of yacc
  for parsing diagrams instead of text files) written in Java, though I don't
  know offhand whether Dunnart currently uses that, or whether that was for
  some other experiment that just happened to use the Dunnart canvas.
