+                      Scilab 5.1.0 Release_Notes
+                      ==========================
+
+
+- Graphics:
+  Errors occuring when getting or setting graphic handles properties
+  are now treated as any other Scilab errors.
+  As a consequence, these kinds of errors are now interrupting Scilab
+  scripts when occuring. Although this simplifies graphic error
+  detection, it might break some scripts containing such errors.
+
+- Scipad Debugger:
+  The Scipad debugger is still broken because of code reorganization that has
+  been performed in the Scilab core and rewriting of the Tcl interface. It has
+  therefore been unplugged from Scipad and will be plugged back as soon as
+  possible.
+
+- Mac OS X port:
+There are some known issues with the Mac OS X version:
+
+   	* For now, Tcl/Tk has been disabled. The technical reason is because
+	both Swing and Tk need to be driven by the Core Foundation
+	(CFRunLoopRun) and it is tricky to handle both at the sametime.
+	* As a consequence, TclSci (Scilab / Tcl interface) Scipad, GED
+	and the variable editor are not working.
+
+	* On a non-up-to-date Mac OS X, an error saying that the Dock Icon
+	cannot be set can occur. Please update your Mac OS X Java.
+
+	* Scilab starts in the background (ie behind other applications).
+
+	* The merge of windows provided by the docking system does not work
+
+	* Due to internal constraints, during the load of Scilab, it is normal
+	to see the icon changing for a second.
+
+	* On a fresh compiled version of Scilab, you could experience some
+	issues with the unsfdcopy function. This might be related to the
+	version of your compiler/libraries.
+
+	* The refresh on some demos is not done correctly which can cause
+	some refresh issues.
+
+If you find bugs under Mac OS X which are not in this list, please submit them
+on:
+http://bugzilla.scilab.org/
+Please provide the relevant part from /var/log/system.log
+
+And patches are welcome!
