This is a bugfix release with the following changes.\nChanges\nBug Fixes\n- Fixed a crash caused by umlaut composition in file names of embedded PDF documents.\n- Fixed lost image links after Collect for Output.\n- Fixed build failures with newer releases of Poppler 26.01.0-26.04.0.\n- Fixed text underline dependency on text frame dash array when exporting to PDF.\n- Fixed text stroke dependency on text frame dash array when exporting to PDF.\n- Fixed StoryText::endOfWord() returning an incorrect result if the position is already at the end of a word.\nImport/Export\n- MS Publisher import: improved image scaling behaviour.\nPlug-ins\n- The color wheel now correctly moves to the selected color.\n- Fixed bad escape sequences in Python docstrings.\nBuild System\n- Added MSVC 2026 projects, retargeted to the Windows 10 SDK.\n- Fixed some toolset errors in MSVC 2022 and MSVC 2026 projects.\n- Sorted projects in MSVC solutions.\nInternal Code Quality\nWe performed extensive code cleanup across many import plugins, including AI, CDR, CGM, CVG, Micrografx Draw, EMF, FreeHand, IDML, ODG, legacy OODraw, Apple Pages, Macintosh Pict, PageMaker, MS Publisher, QuarkXPress, Dia Shapes, Kivio, SVG (import and export), SVM, UniConvertor, Viva Designer, MS Visio, WMF, WPG, Xara, Xfig, XPS, and Zoner Draw. Additional improvements include code style fixes and renaming of some methods to avoid conflicts with C++20 reserved keywords.\n\nFuture\nScribus 1.7.x is the new unstable series. While we will maintain Scribus 1.6.x as a stable version, most development will focus on 1.7.x and features and Qt6-based enhancements. 1.7.x.svn is developing relatively quickly with the integration of a new palette and docking system, new SVG based icons and many more features.\nWe will look to update documentation in future 1.6.x releases and hope to launch a community documentation project in the future.\nWe have no plans to fix issues in the 1.4.x branch of Scribus. No versions have been released for some time and the 1.6.x series is the stable series going forward. All branches are available in subversion (svn://scribus.net) as well as on our downloads links for all previously release versions. We encourage all Linux and *BSD distributions to switch their stable version to 1.6.x.\nTrademarks: As referred to, please see Trademarks",
