[scribus] Scribus version compatibility within 1.5.x branch

[Sebastian Stapelberg]

Hi Craig,

thank you for the fast and helpful response!

Yes I receive the mails, but I can also confirm that all mails from
scribus.net arrive in the spam folder, starting with the one asking to
confirm the subscription. So I had to mark the messages as "not spam"
and I guess I will tell gmail to never treat anything coming from
scribus.net as spam.

Tell me if there may be any further information I can provide to help
solving the problem.

Best regards
Sebastian
