Well, Gentoo has finally made it nearly impossible to keep using Scribus 1.3.3.13, and that means a forced upgrade for me.
Unfortunately, I need to make sure this works for two other people when I upgrade, and they don't use Gentoo. I've got one colleague who uses Windows, which means he will be getting the 1.3.6 version unless I can get him to find an old version of the Windows installer, and the other uses Ubuntu (he should have Karmic), which means he can upgrade to scribus-ng, which is 1.3.5 unless I can show him how to compile scribus from source. Gentoo offers 1.3.5 and 1.3.6. Are there any file format changes between the two versions or can I ask everyone to use whichever version is latest for their system without worries about file compatibility? In order to keep using 1.3.3.x on my system, I will have to compile from scratch a legacy version of Scribus, qt3, libpng, and a few other packages, and install them alongside the current versions of those packages, since Gentoo is no longer packaging them, and the versions of those packages on my system no longer link. I really don't want to do that. -- | Andrew A.
