The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus 1.3.3.5 This release is purely a further bug fix release to the recently released 1.3.3.4.

In particular, there are more SVG import and rendering fixes, including enhancements to imported text from SVG. There were fixes and improvements in the Story Editor, Undo/Redo and UI translation updates including new Greek and Bretion translations. Some PDF and PSD import improvements were backported from 1.3.4. Scribus now *requires* libtiff and the littlecms libraries.

With the announcement of 1.3.3.5, the team is officially announcing there will be no more development or bug fixes to 1.2.x series. We now recommend all distributions package 1.3.3.5+ from now on.

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.
