This is perfectly fine for rendering POV-Ray, but doesnвЂ™t sounds like a good idea for the rest of the data types, where vector graphics would be just fine (apparently since PDF can be embedded now, you can customize pdflatex to produce PDF and vector data). While elegant, this solution has a horrible disadvantage: rendering is always done into a bitmap file. Localizable description of rendering options, where applicable, is stored in an XML file which has a rather easy syntax. In fact you can add your own visualizers. To do it just right-click on the frame and choose Edit Source in the pop-up menu Then youвЂ™ll see something like this: Source Editor

Right now Scribus supports:Д¬ontents of a render frame can be reedited at any time later. The idea is that such a frame can hold description of data in some markup language and some external tool will vizualize it. This new type of objects was born as a GSoC2007 project. You still canвЂ™t believe your eyes? Yes indeedВ - finally you can reliably select and remove parts of text, navigate inside a text frame and type in text. If you compare the new version to any previous one, especially the misunderstanding called v1.3.4, ability to edit text right on canvas, without Story Editor, really looks like magic. 20 seconds for some of their complex documents. This is mostly thanks to work by new member of the teamВ - Pierre Marchand, and a new contributorВ - Tomas MeДЌiЕ™.ДЄpart from that, documents seem to be loading much faster. Rendering speed has been improved quite a lot and the application has become more responsive.

While changing the code developers couldnвЂ™t help themselves rewriting a lot more, so the whole thing took a lot longer than expected. Quite a lot of time has gone into rewriting Scribus to use a newer version of QtВ - the library that provides user interface elements and some basic features. I reckon I should warn you beforehand that the review is somewhat critical, but hopefully fair.

lots of bugs fixed and smaller improvements introduced.

new and improved import/export filters.

much easier legal Pantone color swatches support.

rendering and loading of documents speedups.

switch to Qt4 and source code refactoring.

LetвЂ™s take a closer look at the result of two years of hard work. Scribus team has just released a long anticipated yet unstable 1.3.5 version of this free desktop publishing application.
