this is perfectly correct! the stable version *is* 1.3.3.14!
in the official pages, the team is correctly suggesting that one should use that version.

in more informal places (like this mailing list and irc) we are all (but one) suggesting the people to use 1.4RC (except if they have good reasons to use 1.3.3.x).

in those repositories, scribus is 1.3.3.14 and scribus-ng the latest 1.4RC.
