The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of Scribus 1.2.2.1
- Open Source Desktop Publishing. The Scribus team urges all users
and distros to use this latest release. We have replaced our 1.2.2
release with this release to fix one issue and update some
documentation.
Building on the 1.2.1 version released in January 2005, 1.2.2.1
consolidates the 1.2 series with many fixes and some enhancements :
* Numerous improvements to SVG import/exporter.
* Over 130 bug reports and user feature requests have been
squashed.
* The 1.2.2 release also adds updated English documentation, along
with many new GUI translation updates.
* Support for OASIS (OpenOffice.org 2.0) writer and draw import.
* Many locale and Unicode fixes and enhancements
* More rendering speed
After this release, the Scribus team will concentrate work on the
1.3.x development series, with a release of 1.3.0 imminent. We will
continue to maintain the 1.2.x series, and already are working on
version 1.2.3, with further enhancements to come.
The Scribus Team would also like to thank Anduin.net/Ãverby Consulting
and n@work GmbH, Hamburg for gracefully sponsoring our Scribus
Documentation site, our Bug Tracker and Anonymous CVS server. Also, a
note of thanks to University of Salford - School of Media, Music and
