The development team behind Scribus, an open-source and cross-platform desktop publishing app, released version 1.6.5 today as yet another minor update to the Scribus 1.6 stable series.

Coming almost eight months after Scribus 1.6.4, the Scribus 1.6.5 release is here to improve the color eyedropper, update the PDF export functionality by fixing issues related to font rendering and exporting via Python, improve light/dark mode capabilities, and update the scripter functions.

On top of that, Scribus 1.6.5 updates dependencies, including later releases of poppler and podofo, updates various translation files, and removes the ability to allow remote SVG image data loading due to a security vulnerability that has yet to be disclosed. Check out the release notes for more details.

I tried to use Scribus to start my newspaper, but boy was the barrier to entry high there.

It's menu UI also kinda melded with my font defaults on Linux at the time, and melted my eyes.
