The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus 1.3.3.4 This release is purely a further bug fix release to the recently released 1.3.3.3.

In particular, there are a number of SVG import and rendering fixes, including better support for gradients in imported SVGs. Also there were fixes and improvements in the Story Editor and Undo/Redo and UI translation updates. Scribus now requires libtiff and the littlecms libraries.

The Scribus team has announced previously there there will be substantial core code changes in the next 1.3.4 and 1.3.5 releases, so the team has branched 1.3.3 to provide a stable usable version.

The upcoming 1.3.4 version will include a completely rewritten text layout engine for more refined glyph and text layout, along with a host of new features including advanced transparency support, image effects and more. The team has decided to migrate QT 4.2.x for version 1.3.5.

The Scribus Team would also like to thank - Anduin.net/Øverby Consulting and Cardia AS for their continued hosting of all the Scribus websites.

The Scribus Team would also like to thank the many end users, translators, testers and contributors who helped us with this release.
