Scribus 1.4 released

I used Scribus 1.4rc6 to put together a good-looking resume. It was my first time using DTP in any way at all. Came out pretty well. The UI was thought out nicely in most ways, although some things were unnecessarily difficult, like I couldn't figure out how to set a horizontal rule to precede every level-2 heading. So I'm very excited about the new release.

At the same time, the 1.4 release announcement reads like somebody didn't get the "release early, release often" memo. "The 1.4.x version is now in stable/maintenance mode, which means few features will be backported from the 1.5 development branch. In general, only bugs will be fixed in subsequent 1.4.x versions, along with new content, like new translations, new templates, or additional color palettes." Really? Your users just waited four years for a new release, and now they'll have to wait $deity-knows-how-long again? If your new release has a solid new architecture, why not just add features to that? 1.5 sounds fantastic, but I'd rather take 5% of those exciting new features if I could get them in a new release in 3 months.
