Scribus 1.4.0 released

I disagree. Nearly every DTP package I can think of faces the need to manage a manipulable version of the layout on-screen and to render a copy-ready version for high-end printing; using 'object linking and embedding' mechanisms to have external programs render their own output is a concept I first saw in the 1990's and it enables the publisher to defer preparing the high-quality proof until as late as possible. And it does that without clogging up a desktop computer with large amounts of disk I/O, high memory use and wasting CPU time to render to screen. To my mind, it's obvious solution to scalable on-screen representations and near-to WYSIWYG editing when using inexpensive computers.
