History

Kivio was originally developed by theKompany who brought the source code of a Linux-only version into KOffice under GPL. A proprietary version also compatible with Mac OS X 10.3 and Windows 9x–XP was also released under the name Kivio mp.[2] The last release of Kivio mp was version 3.0, made in December 2004.[3] That release was based on Qt 3.[4]

The GPL versions followed the version scheme of KOffice. The last stable version was 1.6.3, released on June 8, 2007.[5] Since then Kivio continued to be developed without maintainer and no stable releases seeing the light of day.

After the split of the KOffice developer community in 2010,[6] the Kivio code was imported into the newly formed Calligra project and picked up by a new maintainer who renamed the application to Calligra Flow. A stable release was made along with the rest of Calligra Suite 2.4.
