A set of hit parades of the most wanted features are sent once a week to the scribus-dev mailing list.
The top ten of the small bugs or features
Christmas has kept me busy... and we decided to try to give the Hit parade an monthly scheduling... let's see if it works good that way.
We can start with three very good news:
- Andreas' patch for the dead keys has made into trunk! And it works! (#1908)
- Cezary has worked hard on his patch and now we have a solution for the undo for the text frames. This good proposal is being tested by Craig and Andreas and the chances are good that it will make into Scribus 1.4beta! (9568)
- Flowing around groups has been fixed by Franz (#9065). He has also refactored the Group handling in 1.5svn and this opens some more possibilities for the future!

The top three big bugs or features
- Undo for text (2 weeks)
- Replace Scripter by Scripter 2 (2 weeks)
- Implement a new Style Manager / Editor (1 week)
Let's start with the good news:
- One bug has been resolved: now the guides don't get scrambled any more!
- Cezary has started to work on a workaround for the lack of Undo while editing text. He has some working code, but it has to be cleaned up a bit and has to take care of some performance issues. Hands up for Cezary!
- Andreas has announced that he has a patch for the dead keys issue: it has already been commited to the OIF branch. As soon as we have some feedback that it works, we will have to look for a new number one in our Hit Parade!
And now, some notes about the Hit Parade itself:
- We have attached a reference to the bug tracker for each entry in the Hit Parade.
- You can see the Hit Parade as an HTML table here:
http://www.graphicslab.org/index.php?n=Scribus.HitParade
The page is not ready yet for prime time (and was even less pleasant to view last week...) but, if you want to have a look you can.
- We want to add a third list which would be fully controlled by the community (proposing bugs / features, voting on them) but it will take time

Big items
Ideas
Vlada
- vertical alignement for text (will pierre's work solve it?)
- import of blur filter from svg (rasterized)
- a lot of of-by-one rendering errors
cezary
- [Preflight Verifier] widows/orphans check 1.4.1 + 1.5
- [Preflight Verifier] RGB text check 1.4.1 + 1.5
- [Preflight Verifier] progress bar indication during checking 1.5
- [Preflight Verifier] placing text cursor at CPos related to selected error item and automatically select whole paragraph for better visualition region of problem 1.4.1 + 1.5
- [ODT import] feature for omit whole paragraphs style information (any new styles are created, all text has Default Paragraph Style), but saving local character formatting 1.4.1 + 1.5
- [Status Bar] add information about selected item - kind of item,frame name, filename for image frames, dimensions (ale: we should have a good solution for showing information and avoid cluttering the status bar... imo...)
- [Search/Replace] search and replace in whole document 1.4 / 1.4.1 + 1.5 (depending on how invasive it is)
- [Style Manager] set default style for replacing during deleting styles to "Deafult Paragraph Style" instead No Style 1.4
- [Properties Palette] tabs switching automaticaly related to selected item 1.4.1? (will not be needed anymore in 1.5, since there won't probably be tabs anymore)
- [Properties Palette] applying Paragraph Style dont clear local character formatting (need some fix for proper behaviour while opening old SLA files) 1.4.1, if it's possible to make it work with old SLAs
