Was just browsing the mailing list and it appears JLM(?) has made some patches for xaralx. Has anyone tried these yet?

well, something is in move...
If the port to Cairo will go well - we will loose some speed but - we will win the world
Yes, I have, on two machines... they work as advertised. It's wonderful to see progress again with XaraLx.

w00t!! I had to get out of my chair do a few jumps ;D this is great!
Gosh, say that again... the world, yes! All I really need now as an improvement is the ability to copy and paste text to the Linux clipboard. Then I'll no longer need anything from Windows. That day is coming. Maybe JLM will tackle such a task. There must be lots of code around, as most Linux apps do use the clipboard.

Other good news - from http://sk1.sourceforge.net/ - SK1 is a new graphic editor for vectors and the good point is that SK1 guys get done an "Universal CDR importer" and they work forward for an Universal Convertor "import filters: CDR, CMX, AI, CGM, WMF, XFIG, SVG, SK, SK1, AFF and export filters: AI, SVG, SK, SK1, CGM, WMF" ... then a lot of peoples wil leave MS OS.
Well the things goes on ..
P.S.
Anyway I am waiting for XaraXtreme Pro on Linux...
According to Xara's speed charts, Cairo was severely bashed for speed. Why is time being spent porting to Cairo? That work is being done to improve the existing code is pleasing to hear.
