Scribus 1.7.3 and 1.6.6 released

Software 44277 Published 2026-04-14 08:20 by Philipp Esselbach 0

The Scribus Team has released two distinct versions where 1.6.6 serves as a safety patch for production workflows while 1.7.3 introduces experimental features for layout artists. Version 1.6.6 fixes critical crashes involving file names and restores image links after using Collect for Output to ensure documents export correctly without data loss. The unstable 1.7.3 release brings a live spell checker running in its own thread so the interface remains responsive during proofing tasks. Users should expect occasional hiccups until this becomes stable but can try not to break anything with that new scripting feature before committing changes so please stay safe and happy publishing.

Here is a roundup of today's reviews and articles. TechPowerUp highlights the ID-Cooling FROZN A620 SLK as a compelling cooler that balances performance features within a compact dual tower footprint. According to Tom's Hardware, an entry level portable monitor called the Espresso Lite 15 distinguishes itself with colorful case options for users. While Windows Central celebrates Capcom's Pragmata for its combat and story, KitGuru questions if the expensive Corsair Galleon 100 SD keyboard justifies its price tag alone. Additionally Tom's Hardware notes that the Acer Predator GX850 SFX power supply delivers solid electrical performance inside a reliable compact form factor.

Bind, Gst-Plugins-Bad, Xdg-Dbus-Proxy updates for Debian

Debian 10861 Published 2026-04-14 07:20 by Philipp Esselbach 0

Debian issued three security advisories covering critical flaws found within bind9, xdg-dbus-proxy, and gst-plugins-bad1.0 software packages. For BIND resolvers performing DNSSEC validation, a vulnerability exists where malicious zones trigger excessive CPU usage unless users upgrade to version 1:9.16.50-1~deb11u5. The xdg-dbus-proxy update resolves a parsing error that previously allowed attackers to bypass eavesdrop restrictions and leak data. Finally GStreamer users need to update gst-plugins-bad1.0 because malformed media files could lead to denial of service or arbitrary code execution vulnerabilities.

Debian GNU/Linux 11 (Bullseye) LTS:
[DLA 4529-1] bind9 security update
[DLA 4530-1] gst-plugins-bad1.0 security update
