	have been many many changes including many bug fixes, graphics improvements, editor improvements, new toolbox functions, etc.

	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.
2002-03-05	enable this on NetBSD>1.5U on alpha since alpha FPC code is now in place.	dmcmahill	1	-0/+12
	While here, add some missing headers and squish a LP64 bug. Passes all self tests and all but 2 examples on a 1.5ZA alpha.
1999-12-22	Update the package from scilab-2.4.1 to scilab-2.5.	dmcmahill	1	-19/+0
	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	-8/+17
	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/+10
	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.
