Autorouting polyline connectors are in CVS and work well.
Also, could someone with Wordpress rights please update the news item on the front page, to reflect the Connector tool status. The paragraph about the connector tool should probably be modified slightly, as below.
Thanks, Michael

Michael Wybrow has committed his new connector tool context code to CVS. Currently it is able to create basic poly-line connectors and interact with and modify existing connectors, including reroute, detach, or attach to new shapes. Currently connectors only attach to the center of shapes. You can mark shapes as ignored or avoided for the purpose of routing, and connectors will reroute to avoid the objects marked to avoid. Connectors also automatically reroute if an object is placed on their path. There is a <a href="http://wiki.inkscape.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?UsingTheConnectorTool">wiki page</a> on using the connector tool.
