As i can see there are new
Scribus SVN builds available from this weekend for
Fedora 9. Hopefully someone updates the
builds for Debian/ Ubuntu too
Thomas Zastrow wrotes a little preview about what we can expect from
Scribus 1.3.5.
My favorite wishes about Scribus 1.3.5 are CMYK-Tiff images with alpha work in PDF documents and the text frames renembers their font properties and display them correct in the property panel.

Scribus is a fine open source application for print and dtp. I'm using 1.3.4 often but it has its bug and so i'm waiting for an update. I was a little bit confused about the newer 1.3.3.x releases because 1.3.4 sounds like a successor of 1.3.3. Now i found
a little preview of Scribus 1.3.5 which will hopefully hit the streets soon.
If you using Ubuntu, you can get this SVN build easy:

With some hofixes of the textframe the
1.3.3.11 version of Scribus is released.
Scribus works together with LProf for color prfiling and Fontmatrix for font management.
At the first look the GUI of all looks a little bit ugly because they all are QT-based application. If you like to have a native Ubuntu look of them try out my QT-Ubuntu theme.

DTP on Linux = Scribus. The 1.3.3.9 version of it is
released . Mainly just bugfixes. The next real nice steps coming with the following 1.3.4.
I checked out the
previous version which worked nice. But at the first look the GUI looks a little bit ugly (Scribus is based on QT) and so i created a Ubuntu color theme for it. To use it, copy it as root to "/etc/qt3/" or as normal user to "~/.qt3/". There is a "
qt3-qtconfig" config tool too.

DTP on Linux means Scribus. A new version of it is
released today. Mainly bugfixes, svg improvements and GUI stuff.

I hope with the new submitted artwork in 1.3.3.7 the icons will look better then now. There where lovely shots of a
tangofied version
