Scribus Portable 1.6.1 (desktop publishing) Released

A new version of Scribus Portable has been released. Scribus Portable is a desktop publishing app that brings professional page layout to your desktop with a combination of press-ready output and new approaches to page design. Ghostscript Portable, which Scribus uses for postscript and PDF handling, is also available. 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

Scribus 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.
