Hi, As of today (Mon 27 Oct), none of the developer team will guarantee that the current version in CVS or any newer versions of the tarballs on the scribus.org.uk (or mirrors) will work with GCC 2.95.x (2.96 under RH). The current version on scribus.org.uk should work with 2.95 - but it will be the last.
Sorry for any problems that may cause, but as my version of 2.96 gave up the ghost about 30 minutes ago, neither Franz, Peter, Craig or I have a working copy of a pre GCC 3 compiler. Forth coming improvements rely greatly on template support which ranged from poor to very poor under 2.9x and to progress the application on, the decision was made by the team to drop any version under 3. A great deal of time and effort has gone into the next set of improvements which would be very difficult to program without template support. We will, of course, try to support 2.9x users, but in some circumstances, this may not be possible (such as removing some of the optimisations or other newer features). Thank you for your attention. We shall now return you to your scheduled programmes... TTFN Paul (on behalf of the developer team) -- One OS to fool them all One browser to find them One email client to bring them all And through security holes, blind them...
