The Scribus Team is pleased to announce the release of the development candidate Scribus 1.5.1, which is another major step onto the next fully-featured version 1.6.0.

- The import filter for XPress Tags is finally working as expected (some minor glitches notwithstanding) and has been tested with XTG files from XPress 3 to 2015;
- Two oft-requested text import filters have finally made their way into Scribus, namely RTF and DOCX;
