We had some support from the Telerik team about a year ago when we wanted to split a connecting label over multiple lines. At the time, they advised us of a bug and gave us a workaround.
We've just had to update to the latest version of the Kendo UI js file to fix another bug related to a JQuery update, and it has broken our workaround. The original fix was to replace the standard text in the box, and add it into a tspan. Following the update, this now renders the tspan on the diagram following the new update. I've attached a screen of how it showed before, with the workaround, and how it shows now following the update.
The current value in the DescriptionForKendo field:
<tspan x="0" dy="0em">Class A, 50 Shares</tspan><tspan x="0" dy="1em">Class B, 100 Shares</tspan>
The binding of the field to the view:
.ConnectionDefaults(cd => cd.Editable(false).Content(o => o.Template("#= dataItem.DescriptionForKendo #"))
Any ideas if this was specifically catered for in the latest version, or how we can add a line break into a connecting label now?

This is a result of some substantial changes on how the Diagram is being rendered. We now support multiple rendering targets - SVG, Canvas and PDF to name a few.
This requires that we encode any HTML entities as they're SVG specific and will result in incorrect output in other rendering modes.
Our recommendation is to set up a visual template with absolutely positioned TextBlocks as illustrated in the API reference.
Apologies for the caused inconvenience.
