What's the reaction for:
http://lists.scribus.net/pipermail/scribus/2014-May/050147.html, The codes have been accepted?
Currently, How can we use this patch/extension unofficially?
won't happen in 1.6, if 1.6 will be released in the first months of 2013.
i'm trying to find a strategy to get it as a roadmap item for 1.8
~2 next years (:
The right time to bring up this topic!
What's new for supporting RTL?!
I had a discussion with @a-l-e and here are some of lines:
Btw, 1.6 won't be released in the first months of 2013..., 2014: that won't happen either
I think that there is also a team somewhere in north africa working on it...
The biggest problem is not RTL, but character composition...
All in all, there is a scribus version which *is* working for indic scripts but the chances that it will be ever merged in the main scribus is low. there is old code written by a team member but it is not finished
The biggest problem being that the changes needed are big and the until parts of patches/code are reviewed by the team, it's not possible anymore to cleanly compile it.
After all this years, it seems to be a structural problem that cannot be solved without a big big big involvment from the team.
Well, everything depends on the what the team does. from time to time there are sudden progresses that nobody would have foreseen...
