2004-07-15	update to scilab-3.0	dmcmahill	1	-11/+11
	Main Changes Scilab 2.7 -> 3.0 ============================== NEW FUNCTIONALITIES =================== - continue instruction added - [a(i,j),b(..),..]=foo(..) syntax is now handled - arpack algorithms for sparse matrix eigenvalues/eigenvectors computation added - Levenberg-Marquardt algorithm of Minpack used to define function lsqrsolve - New graphics mode improved - beta and legendre function added (thanks to B Pincon) - Scicos has been extended to handle non causal systems description (supported by RNTL) - Matlab to Scilab translator has been re-written, and extended to current Matlab syntax. OTHERS IMPROVEMENTS =================== - Better discontinuities handling in Scicos - More efficient number parsing (thanks to B Pincon) - More efficient 3D Zoom (thanks to E Segre) - Improved scipad, shortcuts, language handling, colorization, bug fixes.. (thanks to E Segre) - for loop variable is no more removed at the end of the loops - figure sizes are now taken into account in Postscript export - Windows GUI improved - Graphic windows refresh improved under Windows - Scilab has been adapated to IA64 architecture - Helvetica (Arial on Windows) fonts added (corresponding font identifiers are from 6 to 9) (thanks to B Pincon) - N dimensionnal matrices efficiency improved (thanks to B Pincon) - logical expressions shortcuts handled in if - cd, ls, clc, clf, tohome functions added - functions with no argument can be called without () if called as a command
2003-02-24	- fix the tk shared library path to allow the scipad editor to work	dmcmahill	1	-0/+13
	- make sure the path is correctly determined for pvm. - add a --tag= argument to libtool when building fortran code. This makes all selftests pass on my alpha.
2003-02-22	update to scilab-2.7.	dmcmahill	1	-30/+0
	Main Changes Scilab 2.6 -> 2.7 ============================== THANKS ====== Scilab group wants to thank the increasing number of people who have contributed to this new version of Scilab, with special mention to Anders Blomdell, Stephane Mottelet, Dan McMahill Ton van Overbeek, Bruno Pincon and Enrico Segre. NEW FUNCTIONALITIES =================== Slicot based control routines (www.win.tue.nl/wgs/slicot.html) have been introduced with a special attention to identification functions, lyapunov, sylvester and riccati equation solvers. Interface with TeXmacs (www.texmacs.org) a high level scientific text editor. The editor allows you to write structured documents via a wysiwyg interface including Scilab sessions and results. An embedded text editor scipad derived from TkNotepad (www.mindspring.com/~joeja/programs.html) as been developped. C Code generation from Scicos discrete models Blocks defining DAE are now usable in Scicos. Statistic toolbox added (labostat). A new graphics version based on objects and entities has been developped (beta version). It allows to edit the properties of graphics objects. By default, the old graphics version is used. Tu use the new graphics version see the help of "graphics_entities". OTHERS IMPROVEMENTS =================== Linear algebra primitives now based on Lapack instead of Linpack/Eispack. Basic functions revised (thanks to B Pincon). stacksize use is no more restricted. Hypertext, xml based, online help. Binary Matlab file .mat loader (loadmatfile) added. Possibility to customize graphics window event handlers (seteventhandler). edit_graph, a graph editor for Metanet toolbox, written in Scilab, replaces xmetanet. It works on both Unix and Windows. INCOMPATIBLITIES ================ It is higly recommended to rebuild user's scilab functions libraries. This can be done as follow: predef(0);genlib('mylib','mylib_path',%t) gschur and gspec functions are now obsolete and replaced by schur and spec. Geci and the communication library have been removed. Use PVM interface instead. Metanet graph editor has been rewritten. Use edit_graph instead. man pages have to be written in HTML or better in XML but chapters written in the old ascii files are still handled. Scicos internal data structure have been changed. Automatic translation is made when old diagrams are loaded.
2001-07-11	add a patch to fix a bug in the fft() function where arguments are not	dmcmahill	1	-0/+30
	checked correctly. Can cause scilab to crash instead of printing a warning. Patch came from Giuseppe Allodi <Giuseppe.Allodi@fis.unipr.it> posted to comp.soft-sys.math.scilab. bump to 2.6nb1.
2001-04-08	Update to scilab-2.6	dmcmahill	1	-66/+0
	Thanks to the scilab folks at INRIA for helping us get rid of 9 more patches! From the CHANGES file: Main Changes Scilab 2.5 -> 2.6 ============================== NEW FUNCTIONALITIES =================== Automatic graphic rescaling when combining 2D plots, axis handling Isometric 3D plots. Thanks to Enrico Segre 3D plots shading. Thanks to Stephane MOTTELET Error messages handling Grep function added Modeless message box added Profiling of functions execution added Real time simulation in Scicos. Thanks to Anders Blomdell Scicos diagram linearization and fixed point computation OTHERS IMPROVEMENTS =================== A more professional licence Input/Output improved (carriage return at the end of the file are not required anymore, OS independent ascii file input, handling of opened files ) More complete mexlib for MatlabV mex interface. Many bug corrected in integer types manipulation API improved, many examples given A better window management under KDE A better plugin interface (help, demos,...) and new Scilab functions for building and loading interfaces. Interactive demos for ODE and DAE solving added Scicos' GUI improved, customizable keyboard shortcuts added Default list, tlist and mlist display can be overloaded It is now possible to draw dashed lines in color. Background now work with postscript driver. Easiest argument passing to plot2d, plot3d,... GIF driver bugs fixed. INCOMPATIBLITY ============== help and scicos palettes handling have changed. Fraclab toolbox has been moved to the contributions part and is no more included in the package The Communication Toolbox (geci) is now obsolete. It will be removed in next release. Use PVM instead.
1999-12-22	Update the package from scilab-2.4.1 to scilab-2.5.	dmcmahill	1	-44/+61
	Many thanks to the authors at Inria who, through their willingness to accept feedback, have helped me remove 39 patches! Changes to scilab include (from scilab-2.5/CHANGES): NEW FUNCTIONALITIES =================== Global variables have been introduced New graphic mode has been added to allow scrollbar handling (panner for X Window and scrollbars for Windows). GIF export format is now available for Scilab graphic windows. Keyboard events and window closing within graphical windows can now be captured. Scicos graphical user interface has been made more intuitive and keyboard shortcuts have been added. Scilab Binary files created by "save" are now system-independent so they can be exchanged. In particular (compiled macros) .bin files and .cos (scicos diagrams) can be exchanged. It is now possible to dynamically link C++ procedures with Scilab. A new data type "mlist" has been added. A new function "genlib" allows users to compile the .sci files in a given directory, generate associated library and load it. This function is particularly useful under windows if VC++ is not available. C formatted input output functions (printf, scanf, ..) have been interfaced to scilab. OTHERS IMPROVEMENTS =================== Efficiency has been improved using reference argument passing when possible instead of value passing. Hypermatrix opreations have been accelerated. On X Window systems 3D Athena Widgets are preferably used instead of standard Athena Widgets for a better look. The "Matlab 4" to Scilab translator has been completed and considerably improved. NEW TOOLBOXES ============= True integer data types (1,2 and 4 bytes) with associated operations and some functions acting on them have been added. A library of procedures has been added to allow the use of Matlab mex-files under Scilab. PORTS ===== Scilab has been successfully compiled with Windows ABSOFT development environment. INCOMPATIBILITIES ================= New Scilab "save"d files cannot be loaded by earlier Scilab versions. A new function "oldsave" has been added to save in old format. Scilab help mechanism has changed. The $MANCHAPTERS/Chapter is no more used, instead a Scilab variable "helps" is used.
1999-03-05	Update scilab to 2.4.1. This is based on the work provided in pr 6889	frueauf	1	-16/+22
	by Dan McMahill. It fixes several serious problems for NetBSD/alpha and some for NetBSD/sparc. Thanx for doing the work, Dan!
1998-08-25	Addition of scilab-2.4 to the packages collection.	agc	1	-0/+43
	This is from Dan McMahill (mcmahill@mtl.mit.edu) in PR pkg/6034. scilab is a high level scientific math programming environment with graphics. [scilab is HUGE.] The only major thing I changed was the way of creating the PLIST.
