Scilab DeSktop
Thanks to this new feature, Scilab confirms its usability and its strong user-oriented approach. Scilab desktop is the new concept behind Scilab windows management taking advantage of our docking system (advanced FlexDock features). Out of the box, Scilab is now able to save all windows layouts including the help browser, the variable browser, the command history, SciNotes and Xcos. Through this major improvement, position and size of all windows are saved from a session to another. File browser A file browser component has been developed and fully integrated into Scilab desktop and all other components have been improved to provide the best user experience for Scilab users. Editvar has had important refreshment. It allows plot and subplot, manages almost all Scilab variable types and is much more faster. Scilab desktop provides various predefined layouts: w Simple: The standard Scilab console => Scilab 5.3.3 (and previous versions) defaults.
Variable browser has been improved: w The dimension of the variable is shown by default. w The variable browser table is automatically resized when docked. w A tooltip has been added on the type column to display the name of the type. w A tooltip has been added on the size column to display. the size in bytes (like in previous versions of Scilab). w Refresh is automatical.
See Bug #9446.
A unique Preferences window has been developed to configure Scilab and its modules. This unique interface can be launched using preferences() function.
GRaphicS
Entire refactoring of Scilab graphic capabilities in order to solve the known issues of graphical cards compatibilities and many Scilab crashes. Based on SciRenderer (rendering library based on JoGL), Scilab graphics have been rewritten to provide new graphic functionalities with: w Better performances, w Better stability, w 2-D zoom using the mouse wheel, w New 3-D zoom capabilities, w Rotation available through the mouse right-click.
SciRenderer is a free and open source library developed by Scilab Enterprises for 2-D and 3-D rendering of scientific data.
w Integrated: The variable browser, the history browser and the file browser are opened by default and combined around Scilab console to provide an ergonomic workspace. => Scilab 5.4.0 defaults
Improved graphic exports: w Off-screen export (Scilab will not open a window to export with driver). w New bitmap formats supported: PNG, JPEG and BMP in the driver function. w New vectorial formats supported: PDF and SVG in the driver function. w Many portability issues fixed. Obsolete value for line_style property: 0 and 1 are equivalent values for SOLID rendering. A warning message will be displayed if the user tries to set this property to 0. Setting this property to 0 will no more be supported in Scilab 5.4.1. datatips tool improved on several aspects: w It is now possible to manage directional arrows as well as square mark markers. w The automatic label placement has been improved to avoid the overlapping with the curve. w It is now possible to have painted box or box free labels. w Markers can now be selected and moved using the arrow keys or deleted with the "Del" key.

See SEP #78
SpaRSe
qmr function updated and modified. Calling qmr(F, Fp, x) where F is a function returning A*x and Fp a function returning A'*x is deprecated. Use qmr(F, x) instead where F prototype is: function y = F(x, t) [...] endfunction where t is used to make F return A*x or A'*x. Same behavior has been implemented for qmr( ..., M1, M1p, M2, M2p).
See qmr help page for examples and details.
Scilab
save/load functions can export/import Scilab data to SOD format: w Scilab data are saved and loaded using a standard, HDF5-based, documented, and fully tested: Scilab Open Data format (SOD). w Graphic handles can be saved under the SOD format. w 'save' writes data to HDF5 format when using new calling sequence save("filename.sod", "a", "b", "c"). This format is Scilab 6 compatible. w 'save' displays a message when using old calling sequence save("filename", a, b, c) and writes data in old Scilab binary format. This format will not be supported by Scilab 6. w The 'matfile2sci' function now converts MAT-files to SOD files. Calling load with a file descriptor as first input argument is now obsolete. Please replace the file descriptor by the corresponding file name. This feature will be removed in Scilab 6.0.0. Update the default size of the Scilab stack to 100 million elements (instead of 50M).
See stacksize help page for more information.

Bug Fix: w Bug #9749 fixed - expm reported non convergence problem.
teStS
The assert module provides a set of assertion functions. The goal of this module is to provide functions to check the behavior of some other functions, for example in unitary tests. We emphasize the use of consistent tools for testing numerical issues, with the goal of testing numerical algorithms more easily. In particular, we provide a comparison function for two floating point numbers, which allows to check that two numbers are "numerically almost equal", i.e. that the relative error is small.
This automatically fixes Bug #4381.

Scilab now uses the ARPACK-ng package
coMpilatioN
Under Windows, Scilab uses VS 2010 Pro and Express solution. Under GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, engine libraries have been merged into a single library named libscilab-cli.so. This greatly improves the start-up performances.
Note that the --enable-maintainer-mode enables the previous behavior (simply the development process).
maintained by Scilab Enterprises. An option --without-arpack-ng has been added to disable the Arnoldi features. HDF5 is now a mandatory dependency of Scilab (even in a minimal build). Under GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, if ccache is installed, use it to build Scilab. Bug Fixes: w Bug #9409 fixed - Warning "remark #8291" removed with Intel Fortran 2011 compiler. w Bug #9500 fixed - Explicit the GUI module manifest class-path to facilitate Debian checking tool process. w Bug #9782 fixed - Configure with --without-gui was failing. w Bug #9793 fixed - --without-gui now also disables Xcos. w Bug #9883 fixed - Build with --disable-build-help was failing. w Bug #9991 fixed - ./configure --without-xcos failed to build. w Bug #11060 fixed - ccache use can be disabled with --disable-ccache. w Bug #10158 fixed - Configure used g77 even if gfortran was available.
Under GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, all modules build as standalone their algorithms as a static library (only available in the source tree). This will avoid an important dependency tree for unitary testing. Under GNU/Linux and Mac OS X, for each module, the list of explicit dependencies on the other libraries is no more needed. Use libscilab-cli.so or libscilab.so to link against Scilab. Scilab dependency on Java HDF has been removed. Enforce a minimal version of JRosetta (1.0.4). Enforce a minimal version of flexdock (1.2.0). Enforce a minimal version of GIWS (1.3.0). Enforce a minimal version of Scirenderer (1.0.2).
