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.
1999-10-20Make scilab always use f2c for compiling the fortran part of the code. Thisdmcmahill1-1/+2
is because the g77 compiled code doesn't work properly on several machine architectures. In particular using g77 on (all 1.4.1 machines): pmax - can't even compile sparc - binary sometimes crashes mac68k - doesn't handle sparc matrices correctly using f2c fixes all these problems.

1999-03-05Update scilab to 2.4.1. This is based on the work provided in pr 6889frueauf2-6241/+6372
by Dan McMahill. It fixes several serious problems for NetBSD/alpha and some for NetBSD/sparc. Thanx for doing the work, Dan!

1998-08-25Addition of scilab-2.4 to the packages collection.agc3-0/+6266
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.
