Scribus for OS/2 Warp 4 and eComStation (Scribus/2)
In addition to Scribus 1.4.2 for other platforms, the OS/2 and eComStation build includes several bugfixes for issues specific to these operating systems, among them:
Problems with some versions of Ghostscript have been resolved.
Problems with Preferences files from earlier versions have been resolved.
Scribus no longer crashes when opening ODT files or a template.
Issues with running Scribus 1.4.x on eComStation 1.2 have been resolved.
We strongly recommend to update to the latest Qt4 and Ghostscript versions for OS/2 and eComStation.
Scribus 1.4.2 for OS/2 Warp 4 and eComStation is available via Sourceforge.
The Scribus Team is very much obliged to Paul Smedley for porting Scribus to OS/2 and eComStation. If you want to support future builds of Scribus for these platforms, please visit http://os2ports.smedley.id.au/ to learn how.
Thanks to the support from Serenity Systems (USA) and Mensys (The Netherlands) we have been able to test Scribus on eComStation, which helped a lot with identifying and resolving platform-specific issues.
