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.

The
Wine development is fast these days, again a new version is available. The good news for design and 3d people are "Support for multiple OpenGL pixel formats" and "Improved support for color profiles".
If you using Ubuntu there is a
repository and a
.deb packages archive to get the newest version.

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.

Google has hired Codeweavers, which are the leaders of the
Wine project and offering commercial services around it. Codeweavers should add better support for Photoshop on Linux. Since Wine 0.9.54 there are much improvements that let running Photoshop CS2 under Wine. This patches has nice side effects, so Flash 8 is working well too.
If you using Ubuntu there is a
repository and a
.deb packages archive to get the newest version.

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.

Jep, they did it again - a new Version of Wine is available. Again with improvements and bugfixes. Besides the added support for the "My Network Places" shell folder there are two things important for artists/ designers using Photoshop on Linux:
* Improved graphics tablet support
* Fixes for some longstanding screen depth issues
Better support for Photoshop CS2 and CS3 is aimed by the developers too, read this posts and write your own problems down there:
