Stable

The current stable release is 1.4.6

Note: Newer Scribus major 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 major branch. However, all 'point' or 'dot' releases in a stable branch can exchange files flawlessly, so you can open, for instance, a file created in 1.4.5 with 1.4.0.
