I want to make sure I can help automate projects where Scribus is an option. Scribus will only improve if more people start using it it’s a chicken-and-egg situation. This time around I decided to look mainly at what it can do, rather than concentrate on what it cannot do. As far as I could tell, Scribus was nowhere near as powerful as InDesign, so it would not be an option for many people. I looked at Scribus a while back and did not get very far before I lost interest. So, after ten years of neglecting it, I’m getting back up to speed on automation with QuarkXPress 2015, and I am also looking at Scribus. The company becomes increasingly erratic and difficult to work with for a third-party developer. As far as I can tell, Adobe is ‘doing a Quark’ on a large subset of its users. If you think you need the changes, you have to check out the SVN repository and build 1.4.9svn from source.I bit the bullet – I am going to dig into Scribus, and add it to my toolkit.Īdobe is not what it used to be.
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. On mac OS, Scribus now includes a bundled Python 3 interpreter and is built for mac OS 10.15/Catalina or higher.Improvements with respect to tables (undo/redo, styles).Improvements to file import (IDML, PDF, PNG, TIFF, SVG).UI Improvements for dark mode and some icon updates and window interactivity.We have also begun to prepare Scribus for using Qt6, which will make our work easier for future releases. 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. The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of version 1.5.8.
