And it's in Format, so it automatically works with the Platform including the Menu and Backup Utility. It supports upgrades by installing right over an existing copy, preserving all settings. Scribus Portable is packaged in a Installer so it will automatically detect an existing installation when your drive is plugged in. Scribus has been translated into more than 25 languages, and more are coming in the future. Unlike proprietary binary file formats, even damaged documents can be recovered with a simple text editor - sometimes a challenging problem with other page layout programs. The Scribus file format is XML-based and open. Scribus has many unexpected touches, such as powerful vector drawing tools, support for a huge number of file types via import/export filters, emulation of color blindness or the rendering of markup languages like LaTeX or Lilypond inside Scribus. Update automatically or install from the portable app store in the Platform.

And it's open source and completely free. It's packaged in Format so it can easily integrate with the Platform. This release allows users to test the new features being tested in the Scribus 1.5 test release branch without impacting their standard local or portable Scribus install. Scribus is an Open Source program that brings professional page layout to your desktop with a combination of press-ready output and new approaches to page design.

and the Scribus Team are proud to announce the release of Scribus Portable 1.5.7 Test.
