For what it's worth, I added the Scribus repository in Adept Manager 
(Kubuntu Hardy Heron). Scribus-ng appeared in the package list as "upgradable",
so I upgraded it and I am now running 1.3.5.

It can open 1.3.3.8 files. I don't see why it would be unable to open files created
by any previous version.
running 1.3.
