Scribus 1.0 Released

Posted by timothy on from the at-least-a-wounder-app dept.

McShazbot writes "Graphics.com has this article about the release of Scribus 1.0 (homepage, mirror) desktop publishing software. Check out some screenshots. If it can even marginally compete with the industry leader, this is a big deal -- I know a lot of people for whom Quark is the killer app that prevents them from moving to Linux, and most of them are tired of paying a grand for the privilege of using it."

    I'm a GNOME fan and won't touch anything written with Qt/KDE... but Scribus is an exception to the rule, simply because it's so damn good I simply ignore the toolkit.

    Scribus is definitely one of my favorite programs to work with. Though, I'm not sure if it's perfect yet (I did a project with 0.6 or 0.8 or something like that and PDF exports had quirks and text zoom was Freaking Blocky[tm])... hope 1.0 has fixed these small annoyances. It's always nice to see a program improving before my eyes!

    A program to melt the raving lunatic's heart!

    Even if the makers of the gimp started releasing huge milestones using version-number increments of only 0.01, they'd be at about version 22 by the time they got close to where photoshop is now.

    Leave these arguments to people who have to use the software. Don't pimp this open source shit as being orders of magnitude better than the industry standards just because its released under the GPL.
