Stable (older) branch
Current stable version is 1.3.3.14. It will not be updated. This is the last 1.3.3.x series version. Use it if stability is your main concern and more important than the feature set.

Developmental (newer) branch
Current developmental version is 1.3.9. It's most similar to a beta, or even release candidate version you would see in other software. It's sufficiently stable for many people to run in production environments, but beware of bugs that might still be there. Report any problems in our bug tracking system.

Note: Newer Scribus version can open the older version's file, but the opposite is not true. Stable Scribus 1.3.1.14 cannot open ''developmental Scribus 1.3.9 files. There is no way to convert the file back once you switch it to the newer branch. However, you can run both branches in parallel to test the new functionality.
