The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of the development version Scribus 1.3.6 for OS/2 Warp 4 and eComStation.

In addition to the information provided in the announcement for other platforms, please note that the following requirements have to be met:

• A copy of libc063.dll, which can currently be downloaded from ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/gcc/libc-0.6.3-csd3.zip and gcc434.dll, which can be downloaded from http://download.smedley.info/gcc434.zip. Both files need to copied to C:\OS2\DLL (OS/2) or C:\ECS\DLL (eComStation).
• Ghostscript and Python 2.6 (available from http://os2ports.smedley.info) are required to support some functionality. For instance, Python scripts won't work if Python is missing. The print preview and EPS import will not work if Ghostscript isn't available.
• It also requires the Qt4 GA dll's that can be downloaded as a WarpIn package from http://svn.netlabs.org/qt4
