The latest version is 1.3.3.12svn

I think a packaged 1.3.3.12 will be made in the near future, ie, it is
pretty close to being bug free

If you are familiar with svn, it is probably best to make it yourself, see
http://wiki.scribus.net/index.php/Building_SVN_versions_with_CMake for the
details of how to do that. You will need development files from Ubuntu
repositories if you go that path.

Reverting a 1.3.4 document to 1.3.3 is not really possible. One process id
to take all your elements into the scrapbook, then open the 1.3.3 and
bring in the scrapbook. Not all that satisfactory.

Also note when you start with 1.3.5, it also is not backwards compatible
with 1.3.4 or 1.3.3


Good luck
