Scribus, the open source DTP program formerly only for Linux, is now available for Windows and Macintosh

Egalité is the name of Scribus version 1.3.2, which offers a [1] number of enhancements, such as improved TIFF and PSD support, PDF Export and more. From the Scribus team:

Within this release period:

  • We welcomed another member to the team, Jean Ghali, who performed the Windows migration and developed the printing system for Windows.
  • We resolved over 290 requests and/or bugs which included:
  • Made significant progress in cleaning and restructuring the codebase which has lead to speed improvements, clearer code and opened the way forward for future 1.3.x development.
  • Preparation for the new modular file load and save system.
  • EXIF support
  • Enhancements to TIFF and PSD file format support
  • Image Effects - Tinting, Sharpening and more can be applied directly within Scribus.
  • Better cursor placement in text frames
  • Section based page numbering
  • Enhancements to the colour wheel and shortwords plugins
  • Enhancements to guide management
  • PDF export with viewer export options
  • Updates for both Windows and Mac OS® X compatibility
  • Significant updates to documentation, including the beginning of 1.3.x documentation.
  • Translation updates

The Scribus team however isn’t stopping here—be ready for the release of version 1.4. Don’t worry though, go ahead and grab version 1.3.2, check it out. It won’t be waste of money—it’s free

If you have ever used Scribus, and if you have tried the new version especially, drop me a comment, I would like to know what you think about it. If there are enough people interested in Scribus, I might even write a few tutorials.
