Hello!

We've made a small number of changes since the release candidate, here =
they are listed before the long list of new features and bug fixes:

=95 We've fixed the "No current point for control point bounds" alert =
when drawing a dashed line between shapes.
=95 We've reverted the new line behavior to the old style by default in =
order to keep compatibility with the iPad version for the time being.
=95 The shared support folder for custom OmniGraffle stencils, diagram =
styles, templates, and shapes has moved to $HOME/Library/Application =
Support/The Omni Group/OmniGraffle to conform with Mac App Store =
guidelines. Existing stencils and templates, etc. will still be read =
from their current locations if you have them installed, but going =
forward new support files will be installed in the new directory.

New Features

=95 Mac OS X 10.7 Features and Compatibility

=95 New Line Behavior
	- We've modified how lines appear when they are connecting to =
shapes to more appropriately show their actual endpoints at the center =

visually and adding much more powerful control handles for the =
Orthogonal line type.

you are running the Standard version of OmniGraffle, minus the quotes)

UseOldBezierPathLayout NO" (if you are running OmniGraffle Professional =
purchased in the Mac App Store, minus the quotes)

"defaults write com.omnigroup.OmniGraffle.MacAppStore =
UseOldBezierPathLayout NO" (if you are running the Standard version of =
OmniGraffle purchased in the Mac App Store, minus the quotes)

=95 iPad Compatibility
	- Certain artisitic features available on OmniGraffle for iPad =
(such as open freehand shapes) now display properly on the desktop.
