Scribus 1.5.8 released

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.8. Like previous releases, work on version 1.5.8 focused mostly on bugfixes and code optimizations, the latter of which are expected to lead to reliability and speed improvements. We have also begun to prepare Scribus for using Qt6, which will make our work easier for future releases. High Level Changes: UI Improvements for dark mode and some icon updates and window interactivity Improvements to file import (IDML, PDF, PNG, TIFF, SVG) Improvements to PDF export Improvements with respect to tables (undo/redo, styles) Improvements to the Story Editor Improvements to the build system Translation updates On mac OS, Scribus now includes a bundled Python 3 interpreter and is built for mac OS 10.15/Catalina or higher. Please note that while some bug fixes still may be backported to the 1.4.x branch, we do not plan an official release of this version anymore. If you think you need the changes, you have to check out the SVN repository and build 1.4.9svn from source. For more information see: …

Scribus 1.5.7 released

The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.7. Significant effort went into clean up of user interface margins and widget sizing, however most changes have taken place “under the hood”. Apart from bug fixing this also meant to refine previously introduced features, as well as preparing the code for future Qt versions. A few remaining issues aside, this release has been thoroughly tested and is considered to be stable. However, there are also some new features. Please note that while some bug fixes still may be backported to the 1.4.x branch, we do not plan an official release of this version anymore.

This is a major release on our way to 1.6.0, even though most changes have taken place “under the hood”. Apart from a few remaining fringe issues, this release has been thoroughly tested and is considered to be stable. However, there are also a lot of new features. Please note that while some bugfixes still may be backported to the 1.4.x branch, we do not plan an official release of this version anymore. If you think you need the changes, you have to check out the SVN repository and build 1.4.9svn from source. 1.5.6.1 fixes a spell checker crash on some Linux distros but is otherwise the same as 1.5.6.
