Stable
The current stable release is 1.4.2.
Note: Newer Scribus versions can open the older version's files, but the opposite is not true. Scribus 1.3.3.14 cannot open Scribus 1.4.x 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.
| Scribus RPMs for all supported versions of OpenSUSE, SUSE Linux Enterprise Desktop, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server, Fedora, Red Hat Enterprise Linux, and CentOS. |

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.
