What's New in This Release:

· Windows style editing: basic operations implemented.
· Multi-diagram editing: for example copy and paste from any window to any other.
· Documentation: fairly complete on-line help and supporting documentation.
· Active Scilab prompt: menu activated.
· Undo operation: one step per window.
· Diagram browser: a much nicer replacement for the old navigator.
· From/To workspace blocks: support vector Scilab variables of various types but not matrices.
· Palette operations: New Palette browser.
· Palettes: enriched Palettes of elementary blocks (Modelica blocks,
· Matrix operation blocks, Integer operation blocks).
· Modelica blocks: on-line Modelica code editing and more.
· Inspection of available parameters: available in every window. Block Masking: create, delete, customize, and save Block GUI.
· From/Goto blocks: available in every sub-system.
· Block/Diagram data inspection: Details menu.
· General data types: vector and matrix of double (real and complex), int8, int16, int32, signed and unsigned, for block input/outputs, discrete states and parameters.
· New compiler algorithm: fixing some errors.
· Support for extended data types.
· Improved error message handling.
· Implicitly defined multi-frequency event clocks.
· Use of the numerical solvers of SUNDIALS.
· Support for extended data types.
· Improved error message handling.
· Scope graphics based on Scilab's new graphics library: possible to edit simulation results a posteriori.
· New algorithm adapted to the new compiler: avoids recursive calls.
· Support for extended data types.
· A lot of bugs were corrected
· Step-by-step debugging available, with step into, step over, and step out
· Debugging of .sce scripts
· Scilab errors trapping during the debug
· Automatic watch of variables and evaluation of arbitrary expressions during debug Column mode block selection, cut/copy/paste/drag\'n\'drop
· Performance improvements in many areas, especially in colorizing files
· Robustness of the Scilab/Scipad interface increased
· Many small improvements in Find/Replace
· Overall look and feel and ergonomics improved (bindings, shortcuts, localization dependent widgets sizes, better information displayed in the watch window, underlined numbers in the Windows menu, watch window docking, sorting in the Windows menu, smart indentation, more tooltips, horizontal scrollbars hide automatically, optional line numbers sidebar...)
· Tcl/Tk 8.5 is used by Scipad if available, providing peer text widgets, hence the capability to display different parts of the same file at one time... [ read full changelog ]
