I wasn't aware of this, thanks for the tip. This will make my life 
easier as so far i used the desktop snapshot approach...

May I ask what do you mean by "numbered" relations?

Another missing feature is the ability to add self-relation in class 
diagrams (like the parent property of the QObject class)

For state diagram, it would be very nice to have something that follows 
the specificities of the Qt State machine framework and can export to 
SCXML. Support for code generation could be added later then.

Really? You could maybe use a simpler approach where the user can place 
lifeline freely on the canvas. A bit like "Gnomw Dia" does.
