Scribus on Jan. 23 released the third beta of Scribus 1.3.2, aka Egalité, a DTP (desktop publishing) program released under the GPL.

Although it cant boast the fine polish of Adobes InDesign DS2 or Quarks QuarkXPress 6.5, Scribus is definitely a professional DTP program, not a toy.

While most people think of Macs when it comes to DTP, delays in market leader QuarkXPress support for Mac OS X have opened the door to other programs and platforms.

Despite the fact that Adobe, with InDesign, has made the most of this vulnerability, theres also room for Scribus on Linux.

Scribus supports CMYK (cyan, magenta, yellow, black) color separation and commercial grade output in Adobe PDF and EPS (Encapsulated Postscript) for document export.

The program also supports 128-bit encrypted PDFs with controls on printing, copying and editing the documents.
