The issue you have to deal with now is that if you get stuck in 1.3.4, 
whatever you have done will not be able to be opened in 1.3.3.x or 
earlier. Stuck can mean a file that keeps crashing Scribus, or something 
you can't get to look the way you want it to. For something critical, 
for someone new to Scribus, you will have a much more dependable tool 
with 1.3.3.x.
