[scilab.git] / scilab / CHANGES_5.1.X

               Changes between version 5.1.1 and 5.1.2 of Scilab
               =================================================


Improvements:
=============

* Portugues do Brazil Localization added (Thanks Daniel de Souza Grilo and others)

* More help pages translated to Portugues do Brazil (Thanks Daniel de Souza Grilo)

* Catalan localization added to Scipad (Thanks Oriol Gonzalez)

* Japanese localization added to Scipad (Thanks Hiroshi Saito)

Functions removed:
==================

* lgfft (See bug #4600)

Compilation:
============

* "make check" now builds also call_scilab examples

* --enable-debug-java add two options to the JVM args (-verbose:jni and
  -Xcheck:jni) in order to provide more feedbacks on debug
  Note that this should be used into a binary since it is expensive

* C++ => Java connector updated (using GIWS - 
  http://www.scilab.org/giws/ version 1.0.3)
  There was a bug in GIWS:
        The use of a static method returning an int wasn't calling the right
        method.
        It didn't seem to trigger any errors in the past but the latest 
        version of the JDK is now complaining.


* Patches applied (see bugs #4506, #4517 & #4588) by Dan McMahill which fixes 
  some minor compile time problems under NetBSD:
                - adds some missing $host to the 64 bit list.  
                - added a needed compiler flag for alpha-*-netbsd
                - added autoconf check for term.h header
                - added autoconf checks for gettext.
                - added autoconf check for dlopen in -ldl 
                  (on some systems, we don't need -ldl because dlopen is in libc).  
                  Don't hardcode linking with -ldl but rely on this new check.
                - added correct getrlimit() argument for NetBSD and DragonFly
                - avoid pulling in an OSF1 specific header on NetBSD/alpha
                - added missing newline at the end of a file
                - added missing XML LIBS and CFLAGS
                - adds LTLIBINTL to the list of common objects needed for linking the top level binary.
                - adds checks for term.h and termcap.h headers.  
                - adds check for -lpthread
                - reworks the checks for curses a little bit to search for 
                  curses.h and -lcurses first followed by ncurses.h and 
                  -lncurses.   
                - use configure results to protect the inclusion of curses.h, 
                  ncurses.h, term.h, and termcap.h.
                - add __DragonFly__ to a few conditional lines.
                - remove the static declaration of BC to match what was found
                  in a header file.
                - adds missing enable_keypad_mode()
                - use configure results to protect the inclusion of curses.h, 
                  ncurses.h, term.h, and termcap.h.
                - Large amounts of cleanup of the PVM configure code

* automake version changed (1.10.1 => 1.10.2)

* autoconf version changed (2.63 => 2.64)

* Fix a bug in the configure with autoconf 2.64


Source reorganisation:
======================

* Some function profiles in stack3.h provided to manage named named variable
  have been moved in CallScilab.h (please note that we haven't 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.

* In call_scilab:
  * C2F(readmat) is obsolete. Please use C2F(creadmat) instead (same profile)
  * C2F(readchain) is obsolete. Please use C2F(creadchain) instead
    (same profile)
  * C2F(matptr) is obsolete. Please use C2F(cmatptr) instead (same profile)

Help & Tests:
=============

* In the documentation, the font size of the equations has been increased 
  for a better readability.

* Documentation and examples about call_scilab (BooleanManagement call_scilab
  compile_and_run_call_scilab creadbmat creadchains creadmat cwritebmat
  cwritechain cwritemat DisableInteractiveMode GetLastJob MatrixManagement

               Changes between version 5.1.0 and 5.1.1 of Scilab
               =================================================


Improvements:
=============

* German Localization added (Thanks Armin Mohring and others)

* Spanish Localization added (Thanks Federico Vera and others)

* Online Help translated into português do Brasil (pt_BR) added
  (Thanks Daniel de Souza Grilo)


Compilation:
============

* Defining the environment variable SCI_JAVA_ENABLE_HEADLESS disables the X11
  access when building the documentation (necessary when building the
  documentation in a chroot)

* ./configure && make all && make distclean == tarball (ie, make distclean is
  cleaning all the elements)

* In the source tree of Scilab, ant target "build-example" added in order to
  build only the javasci examples (cd modules/javasci && ant build-example)

Source reorganisation:
======================

* New module added call_scilab: the goal of this module is to highlight the
  possibility to call Scilab engine from other languages.

* "SCI/modules/output_stream/includes/error.h" renamed to "do_error_number.h"

Help & Tests:
=============

* Some equations in the documentation converted to the MathML format
  (bugs #4180 & #4182)

* Page "Compile and run with Javasci" added

* Examples and unit tests added for the function find

* Examples provided in the help of the function argn

* Unit tests for the completion (GUI & NW/NWNI modes)

* Minor improvements in the documentation of the ilib_* functions and
  fprintf

* Unitary tests for isfield() function has been added


Enhancement:
============

* isfield() now accepts matrix of strings (fieldnames) as second input argument.
  Then, it returns a matrix of booleans.

* test_run() now accepts "skip_tests" as optionnal argument (3rd argument), if
  present, the second input argument of test_run is no more the list of tests to
  launch but the list of tests to skip.
  For example, test_run("time",["bug_1506" "bug_793"],"skip_tests");

* test_run() : The following tags have been added :
  - <-- WINDOWS ONLY --> If the operating system isn't Windows, the test is skipped.
  - <-- UNIX ONLY -->    If the operating system isn't an unix OS, the test is skipped.
  - <-- LINUX ONLY -->   If the operating system isn't Linux, the test is skipped.
  - <-- MACOSX ONLY -->  If the operating system isn't MacOSX, the test is skipped.

License:
========

* Examples in SCI/modules/javasci/examples/ are now released under the public
  domain


Internal API:
=============

* GetLengthStringMatrixByName function added in stack3.h (return length of strings)

Internationalization:
=====================

* Almost all the i/o functions (isdir, mkdir, cd, chdir, mopen, fileinfo,
mclose, deletefile, findfiles, ls, listfiles, getshortpathname,
getlongpathname, removedir...) now handle file and directory names containing
UTF-8 characters. This is the work of Yung-Jang Lee. Many thanks!
(Unitary tests provided)

Misc:
=====

* Some dead code removed (SCI/scripts/,
                          SCI/bin/{dold,scilink,Blatdoc,Blatdocs,f77-linux,minfopr} )


Compilation:
============

* libmatio is now detected thanks to pkg-config

* More warnings in C/C++/Fortran during the compilation process.
See http://lists.scilab.org/cgi-bin/ezmlm-browse?list=dev&cmd=showmsg&msgnum=684

* --enable-build-help is now the default behaviour
  (--disable-build-help removes the check of the dependencies)

* --with-fftw, --with-pvm and --with-umfpack are now the default behaviour
  (--without-fftw, --without-pvm and --without-umfpack removes their builds)

* interpolation, signal_processing, statistics modules are loaded dynamically
  by Scilab.

* cc and cc-* are not longer consider as GNU C compiler when detecting the
  compiler (use gcc & gcc-*) because it was causing some issues under Solaris

* By default, under Linux/Unix/Macosx, static libraries are no longer built.

* Do not init TK when building the doc ("make doc")... in order to be able to
build Scilab through ssh

* Giws has lost it .py extension

* Force the build for the french documentation.

                                        written on the file.

                                   are now shipping libxml2 as a workaround to this bug.
