> Please note that while some bugfixes still *may* be backported to the 1.4.x

> ==User Interface==

> * One of the most important changes compared to earlier versions is the
> introduction of a context-sensitive Content Palette. If set to visible, it
> will adjust to the kind of item (text frame, image frame, table, group) you
> have selected.
>
> * Ctrl/Cmd+Click enables selecting items below guides.
>
> * A new PDF-based output preview is now available.
>
> * Support for dark UI themes has been improved.
>
> * Icon set can now be changed without needing to restart application
>
> * It's now possible to "cycle" through the items in a group by pressing
> Alt+Ctrl/Cmd+Click
>
> ==Import/Export==
>
> * Support for PDF 1.6 export, including embedded OpenType fonts.
>
> * A Markdown import filter has been added.
>
> * Improvements to the IDML, PDF, XTG, SVG and KRA importers.
>
> ==Text and Typography==
>
> * Launching Scribus via the Command Line on any OS will now reveal more
> font-related problems; based on fontconfig 3.14.
>
> ==Colors==
>
> * Default black and white colors can now alternatively be defined in RGB and
> LAB.
>
> ==Printing==
>
> * With the exception of the Windows platform, Scribus can now use a
> PDF-based and newly written printing engine. PostScript is still available,
> but will be removed over time.
>
> ==Technical/OS-related Updates==
>
> * macOS: Scribus 1.5.6 is certified to be installed and run on current
> versions of macOS. If you want to use Scribus on a computer with the latest
> version of macOS, 1.5.6 is the required version. For those that use the
> Scripter functionality, our default DMG download of Scribus on macOS uses
> Python 2.x installed with the operating system. We have an experimental
> release that allows the use of Python 3 if the user has XCode installed.
>
> ==Scripter==
>
> * On platforms other than macOS, Scribus now uses Python 3 by default. As a
> consequence, existing scripts will likely need to be modified so that they
> run in Scribus 1.5.6.
>
> * Many new commands have been added to the Scripter; others have been
> renamed to be more intuitive. For more information, please have a look at
> the Scripter documentation, which has also been updated to reflect the
> changes.

> The complete changelog is available here:

> ==Primary Download Locations==
>
> * Installation packages for Windows, macOS, a Linux AppImage and the source
> code are available here:
> https://sourceforge.net/projects/scribus/files/scribus-devel/1.5.6/

> * Packaging for the various Linux distributions, as well as other platforms
> is beyond our influence. We recommend updating the respective repository
> data on a regular basis.
