PortableApps.com and the Scribus Team are proud to announce the release of Scribus Portable 1.5.2 Test. Scribus is an Open Source program that brings professional page layout to your desktop with a combination of press-ready output and new approaches to page design. This release allows users to test the new features being tested in the Scribus 1.5 test release branch without impacting their standard local or portable Scribus install. It's packaged in PortableApps.com Format so it can easily integrate with the PortableApps.com Platform. And it's open source and completely free.

Update automatically or install from the portable app store in the PortableApps.com Platform.

Features

ScreenshotScribus has many unexpected touches, such as powerful vector drawing tools, support for a huge number of file types via import/export filters, emulation of color blindness or the rendering of markup languages like LaTeX or Lilypond inside Scribus. The Scribus file format is XML-based and open. Unlike proprietary binary file formats, even damaged documents can be recovered with a simple text editor - sometimes a challenging problem with other page layout programs. Scribus has been translated into more than 25 languages, and more are coming in the future.
