Sorry, I should rather say "0.8 was released in June 2005" as you referred to
this version. Offering 0.9 is ok.

It's hidden because it's very incomplete. I decided that hidding it is safer
for your data/project.

Thanks very much. Updated

Note it wont be standalone, so no conflicts with KOffice can be encountered.

Ah, honestly, again, I guess Umbrello is designed exactly for this. Anyway,
printing/exporting the layout is relatively easy to add in the future. Feel
free to add a wish using bugs.kde.org :)
