Here we implement features that we love to see it in upstream version of Scribus because we use Scribus 1.5 in production mainly in typesetting Arabic books.

This README.md file is geared toward the Scribus github repository which serves as a mirror for the Scribus Subversion repository svn://scribus.net/trunk/Scribus. The Scribus development team prefer svn over git and recommend you also use the public subversion repository at svn://scribus.net. This mirror is updated manually and is not supported by the Scribus team - for any issues, we will request you get the source from subversion before submitting bugs etc.
