Scribus 1.6.5 Open-Source Desktop Publishing App Released with Various Changes

The development team behind Scribus, an open-source and cross-platform desktop publishing app, released version 1.6.5 today as yet another minor update to the Scribus 1.6 stable series.

Coming almost eight months after Scribus 1.6.4, the Scribus 1.6.5 release is here to improve the color eyedropper, update the PDF export functionality by fixing issues related to font rendering and exporting via Python, improve light/dark mode capabilities, and update the scripter functions.

On top of that, Scribus 1.6.5 updates dependencies, including later releases of poppler and podofo, updates various translation files, and removes the ability to allow remote SVG image data loading due to a security vulnerability that has yet to be disclosed.
