[scribus] the Scribus Stable branch download page

[ZASKE Martin]

Hi, today I went to the download page to get the latest "stable"
versions for a several-days-project. I went here:

https://www.scribus.net/downloads/stable-branch/


I noticed something puzzling:

For Windows there is version 10 missing. It took me an extra moment
looking up and down the page, trying to find the download-link which is
meant for Windows 10. I am presently downloading from the link for
Windows 8, assuming it is the same binary that I will need.

The page is still listing Windows 2000 and XP and I wonder if somebody
did really test the 1.4.7 under XP (and why).


Now I guess that maybe it was just forgotten to add Windows 10, when
that was published by MS.

At the moment the page implies that either the latest Scribus do not run
under Windows 10 or whatever other users and visitors might conclude.


I have a login for the Scribus wiki, but not for this "welcome pages
domain". So maybe somebody else wants to update this.


aside:
We recently started working with another - but younger - OpenSource tool
(for videos) and it is nice and got potential. But in comparison I have
realized how stable and reliable Scribus has become over the last
several years. Compliments! That really helps.


greetings,

Martin

Second attempt,

sorry that my mail is often tagged as spam; this is because of my
location in West Africa.

I had another look and noticed that our download page is still untouched.

I also found out that this cover-page is run in Wordpress, which I
happen to know a little. But my wiki-login-credentials do not work there.

If somebody will make me a login, I will fix the stable-download page
(Windows only) and will not touch the other OS.


But quick request for data:

Has anybody on this list ever tried installing and running Scribus 1.4.7
on Windows XP or 2000 SP4 or Vista?

It is wise to still promote Scribus for XP? (if it does work, those
special-needs-XP-people will find out, but maybe a liability to promote
its use?)



And what about the unstable branch page?

https://www.scribus.net/downloads/unstable-branch/

It looks as if Scribus 1.5.4 would run under Windows 10 64bit but not
under Windows 10 32bit. I hope this is the same issue: just an
overlooked update, right?


let me know,

greetings,

Martin

Hi Martin,

I think you will find that the 32-bit version available will work just
fine under Windows 10. It does for me on my VM.

I don't see such an issue with references to XP and others. People
either still have XP on an older machine or they don't. They're not
likely to seek it out. If they happen to have access to an old computer
somewhere, it might be useful information to know that they can run
1.4.7 on it.

Greg
