Returned from Death: Passepartout, Scribus and Qtpfsgui

, ,

After nearly 2 years the publishing software Passepartout get's a new update and is now available as version 0.7.1. The development will go on and we may 0.8.0 release this year too. The GTK based Passepartout could be an alternative to Scribus which based on QT.
Scribus is now available as version 1.3.3.13 (after releasing 1.3.3.12 nearly a year ago).
Qtpfsgui has a longer development break too and is ready for download as version 1.9.3 since yesterday. This update fixes some bugs and brings speedups on multicore computers.

What do you think this softwares should improve in your opinion?
Do you think that Scribus con compete with InDesign?

No Scribus can't beat InDesign at all. Scribus lacks on speed and many small details. The development seems to be a little bit slow too.
