Please note that not all download links mentioned below are official ones, i.e., files/packages whose integrity has been checked by the Scribus Team.

For more information about SourceForge, check here and here. SourceForge is used by software projects as a means to offer fast and easy downloads and installation. Official files are being served from a site called SourceForge, so do not be alarmed when clicking on a download link brings you to a SourceForge download page. It is also possible to install 1.4.x and 1.5.x side by side, so you can work with one version and play with the other. Features already available in the officially stable version will work much better in 1.5.1+, though.

However, as of version 1.5.1, we consider the development branch reasonably stable, so it can be used for serious work by users who accept that not all new features are already working perfectly. It’s mainly being released for people who want to help us testing and improving Scribus, so the next stable series (1.6.x) will work well.

The development branch is currently 1.5.x. Use this branch if you want to work with a thoroughly tested software without any unpleasant surprises.

Download links for 1.4.x installers are available, click the button below. Currently the stable branch is the 1.4.x series.
