Scribus 1.3.3.4 Released

Posted by mrdocs apropos tools on Sun Oct 15th, 2006 at 12:26:08 BST

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus 1.3.3.4

This release is purely a further bug fix release to the recently released 1.3.3.3.

In particular, there are a number of SVG import and rendering fixes, including better support for gradients in imported SVGs. Also there were fixes and improvements in the Story Editor and Undo/Redo and UI translation updates. Scribus now requires libtiff and the littlecms libraries

The Scribus team has announced previously there there will be substantial core code changes in the next 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 releases, so the team has branched 1.3.3 to provide a stable usable version. The upcoming 1.3.4 version will include a completely rewritten text layout engine for more refined glyph and text layout, along with a host of new features including advanced transparency support, image effects and more. The team has decided to migrate QT 4.2.x for version 1.3.5.

The Scribus Team would also like to thank - Anduin.net/Øverby Consulting and Cardia AS for their continued hosting of all the Scribus websites.

The Scribus Team would also like to thank the many end users, translators, testers and contributors who helped us with this release.

About Scribus

Scribus is a cross-platform open source page layout application with a focus on high quality commercial grade PDF and postscript export. Originally developed on Linux, Scribus runs natively on Windows 2000/XP and MacOSX. Scribus is free of charge and source code is free to download.

Underneath the modern and user friendly interface, Scribus supports professional publishing features, such as CMYK color, spot colors, separations, ICC color management and versatile PDF creation. Scribus was the first page layout application on the planet to directly support PDF/X-3 output, a rigorous ISO standard. Scribus did so by almost a year.

The Scribus Team is made up of a diverse group of developers with significant experience in pre-press, and newspaper publishing.

Commercial support for Scribus is available for companies and institutions for implementation, training and migration.
