==Developmental (newer) branch==
==Upcoming Stable==
Current developmental version is 1.4.0 RC5. This is the fifth release candidate for the 1.4.0 version. 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 [http://bugs.scribus.net bug tracking system].
The next stable release will be 1.4.0. We are currently at 1.4.0 Release Candidate number 5 (RC5). If you find any problems with it please report them in our [http://bugs.scribus.net bug tracking system], so they could be fixed before the final release.

This is where most of the exciting new features of Scribus are going. However, there could be dragons galore, so you are only advised to use this version for small very specific tasks and for keeping abreast of the Scribus development, but not for day-to-day production work.

Old Stable

Current stable version is 1.3.3.14. It is not maintained anymore. This is the last 1.3.3.x series version. Use it only if you have a specific reason not to use 1.4.0rc5.

Upcoming Stable

The next stable release will be 1.4.0. We are currently at 1.4.0 Release Candidate number 5 (RC5). If you find any problems with it please report them in our bug tracking system, so they could be fixed before the final release.

Note: Newer Scribus version can open the older version's file, but the opposite is not true. Scribus 1.3.3.14 cannot open Scribus 1.4.0 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.


Developmental

This is where the exciting new features of Scribus are going. However, there could be many stability problems due to frequent changes, so you are only advised to use this version for small very specific tasks and for keeping abreast of the Scribus development, but not for day-to-day production work.
