Changelog:
The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the
release of Scribus
1.3.4 ÐнÑон
Almost one year in the making, this release brings
Scribus to a new
plateau in professional print capabilities,
innovative features and a
completely re-written text layout engine.
Among the major new features in 1.3.4:
* A rewritten preview mode which allows designers
and artists to view
layouts on screen as readers with color viewing
deficiencies would
view a document. Thus, this enables a designer to
avoid color
combinations which affect legibility.
* Major additions to TIFF/PSD support. This
includes the ability to
use clipping paths in TIFF and PSD files to allow
text wrapping.In
addition, Scribus now can import special flavors
of EPS exported from
Photoshop known as Desktop Color Separations
(version 1.0 and 2.0).
Layers, blend modes, Duo,Tri and Quadtone PSD
files are now also
supported.
* The new styles and text capabilities include
style inheritance for
paragraphs, character styles and line styles. This
is now managed by
a new style manager palette.
* The new text layout engine has a multitude of
enhancements for
vastly better more appealing justification,
including the use of
optical margins and more sophisticated word
spacing algorithms.
*New pre-press capabilities including,
registration marks, crop marks,
calibration bars and document meta info. These are
all easily managed
within the print and PDF export dialogs.
* Color management enhancements including better
CMYK > CMYK
conversions.
* A rewritten and more capable Scrapbook
* Support for patterns; both bitmap and vector
* A more capable Align and Distribute Palette
* Extended Multiple Copying
*New transparency features including blend modes
for layers and
individual objects
* A new cross-platform Icon set from the Tango
Project
