With a new ergonomic and efficient block diagrams +editor, Xcos provides functionalities for modeling mechanical systems and control +systems, and is particularly suitable for industrial and academic needs. + +This new version provides numerous new features: +* Several diagrams can be edited at the same time +* Scilab can be used during the diagram construction +* Diagram edition is available even during simulation +* Drag and drop from palettes to diagram and between diagrams +* History (Undo/Redo) with an unlimited number of actions memorized +* Viewport to have an overall view of your diagram +* Palette window with new palettes organization +* Improved stability +* Better usability of menus +* Tool tips on block +* Big diagram managements +* Better integration of the demonstrations +* Standard shortcuts (Copy/Paste/Undo/Redo/...) + +ATOMS: +====== + +ATOMS is the packaging system for Scilab's modules. Thanks to ATOMS, any user +running Scilab on a supported operating system is able to +install any modules from Scilab or third-party repositories with only three +clicks or with just one Scilab command. + +For example, the following command will install plotlib: +atomsInstall("plotlib") +This command will: +* download the binary package of plotlib from the Scilab repository +* unpack the package +* configure the package +* load the package + +Many packages are already available and more are going to be offered +on Scilab's repositories. + +This system is fully open to contributors. Anyone can manage his own toolbox +on Scilab ATOMS website (http://atoms.scilab.org) or run his own +repository. + +Note that ATOMS website replaces the current toolboxes/modules web interface. + + +Text Editor: +============ + +A new text editor is implemented in this version of Scilab. The editor now +follows the look and feel of Scilab and is integrated into the docking system. + +The following features are available: +* Syntax colorization +* Automatic indentation +* Line numbering +* Execute into Scilab +* Comment/uncomment of blocks +* Go to line + +Graphics: +========= + +* Text rendering with LaTeX / MathML + +The annotation of Scilab's graphics in MathML or LaTeX is now possible. +It enables the integration of mathematical equations, greek variables, matrix +displays... +This is available in any cases where text can be set in the graphic (label, +tick, title, xstring...). +For example: +x = 1:0.25:10;y1 = 1 + sin(4*%pi*x / 10);plot(x,y1,'k-'); +xstring(6,1.4,'$\leftarrow f \left( x \right) = 1 + \sin \left( \frac{x \cdot 4 \cdot \pi}{10} \right)$'); +See demos => Graphics => LaTeX/MathML +Thanks to Calixte Denizet for this feature and the underlying API for LaTeX rendering (project JLaTeXMath) + +* Antialiasing on graphics + This new feature improves the quality of graphic rendering. + It can be activated with the following commands: + df = gdf(); df.anti_aliasing = "8x"; plot3d(); + The rational and performance tests are available in SEP #16 or can be + seen in Scilab bugtracker as bug #2984. + +* Add transparency to markdrawing. + +* 'xbasc' is obsolete. See 'clf' + +Introduction of new binaries: +============================= + +The goal of these changes is to improve the capabilities to use Scilab +in different environments and use cases. + +* Scilab 5.2 introduces new binaries in the distribution: + + - classical - The GUI application (equivalent to Scilab Standard Mode). + This program is exactly the same as in the previous version and all arguments + are still available + Name: scilab + + - Advanced Command-Line Interpreter (ACLI) - Interpreter in command line with the graphic capabilities available + (equivalent to Scilab NW Mode) + Name: scilab-adv-cli + + - Command-Line Interpreter (CLI) - Interpreter in command line without the graphic or Tcl/Tk capabilities (faster) + (equivalent to Scilab NWNI Mode) + Name: scilab-cli + + See SEP #18 for more details + +* The pipe has been plugged back under all operating systems + It is now possible to do: + echo "disp(%pi)"|./bin/scilab-adv-cli + echo "disp(%pi)"|./bin/scilab-cli + echo "disp(%pi)"|./bin/scilab -nw + echo "disp(%pi)"|./bin/scilab -nwni + +* Add error code capability to exit (SEP #19 and request 505). + Example: + echo "if 1<>2 then exit(99) end"|scilab -nwni; echo $? + returns 99 + + +Optimization: +============= +* New features + - Created neldermead component for simplex-based direct search optimization + - Created nmplot component for fast plots of neldermead optimization + - Created optimbase component to build optimization algorithms + - Created optimsimplex component to build direct search algorithms + - Created fminsearch optimization function + - Created optimget/optimset to configure fminsearch + - Created optimplotfunccount, optimplotfval, optimplotx as plotting functions for fminsearch +* Improvements + - Added examples in the help of optim for logging feature and optimization + based on numerical derivatives + + +Extension capabilities of Scilab (API Scilab): +============================================== + +In the previous versions of Scilab, there was no clear or easy way to extend +Scilab or to use it as an embedded application. +Knowing these drawbacks, Scilab 5.2 tackles all those issues by providing a new +consistent, documented and easy way to use API. + +* A new API called api_scilab is available. This API provides functions to + read/write data from/to Scilab memory. + It provides many advantages: + - management of all Scilab data types + - consistency over all data types + - error management + - fully documented + - fully tested by unitary tests + - and it will be maintained over future versions of Scilab + + Note that all other Scilab API (straight access to the Scilab stack, stack1, + stack2 and stack3) will be maintained in the Scilab 5.X family but most of + them will be dropped in the 6 family. + Do not hesitate to submit a bug report if you would like to see new features + and functions in Scilab API. + +* In the enum sci_types which lists all Scilab data types, the type + "sci_lufact_pointer" has been renamed "sci_pointer". + A define of "sci_lufact_pointer" on "sci_pointer" has been added to backward + compatibilities. + The rationale is to improve the use in special case of the pointer data type + to avoid memory duplication. + +* Under all operating systems but Windows, all headers are not installed in a single directory + in order to simplify the use of Scilab features in the dynamic link. + See SEP #32 for more information + +* From this version of Scilab, only a defined and documented number of headers + are installed. + Thanks to this change, a module/toolbox developer knows exactly what are the + available functions provided by Scilab. + See SEP #35. + Do not hesitate to contact us if you have been using a Scilab header which has been removed from Scilab 5.2. + + +call_scilab module: +=================== + +Call Scilab is the API which allows Scilab to be called as computing engine or +embedded into a third-party application. +From this version, Call Scilab is based on Scilab API and handles all Scilab +data types (in previous versions, Double, Boolean, Complex Matrices and String +elements were managed). +The Call Scilab function has the same profile as Scilab API with 'Named' into +the function name. + +* CallScilab.h renamed call_scilab.h (See SEP #34). CallScilab.h is still + available and points to call_scilab.h + +* Documentation and examples about call_scilab added (BooleanManagement call_scilab + compile_and_run_call_scilab DisableInteractiveMode GetLastJob DoubleManagement + ScilabHaveAGraph SendScilabJobs SendScilabJob StartScilab StringManagement + TerminateScilab) + +* Some function profiles in stack3.h provided to manage named variable + have been moved in CallScilab.h (please note that we have not changed the ABI + and the symbols remain in the core library) + The goal of this modification is to separate functions dealing with the + call_scilab API and the internal API used in the gateways. + Note that all moved functions are considered as obsolete. + +* In call_scilab, all previous functions available to read/write data from/to + the Scilab engine are now obsolete but supported until Scilab 6: + + * C2F(readmat) is obsolete.
