1 Scilab 5.1.0 Release_Notes
2 ==========================
6 Errors occuring when getting or setting graphic handles properties
7 are now treated as any other Scilab errors.
8 As a consequence, these kinds of errors are now interrupting Scilab
9 scripts when occuring. Although this simplifies graphic error
10 detection, it might break some scripts containing such errors.
13 The Scipad debugger is still broken because of code reorganization that has
14 been performed in the Scilab core and rewriting of the Tcl interface. It has
15 therefore been unplugged from Scipad and will be plugged back as soon as
19 There are some known issues with the Mac OS X version:
21 * For now, Tcl/Tk has been disabled. The technical reason is because
22 both Swing and Tk need to be driven by the Core Foundation
23 (CFRunLoopRun) and it is tricky to handle both at the sametime.
24 * As a consequence, TclSci (Scilab / Tcl interface) Scipad, GED
25 and the variable editor are not working.
27 * On a non-up-to-date Mac OS X, an error saying that the Dock Icon
28 cannot be set can occur. Please update your Mac OS X Java.
30 * Scilab starts in the background (ie behind other applications).
32 * The merge of windows provided by the docking system does not work
34 * Due to internal constraints, during the load of Scilab, it is normal
35 to see the icon changing for a second.
37 * On a fresh compiled version of Scilab, you could experience some
38 issues with the unsfdcopy function. This might be related to the
39 version of your compiler/libraries.
41 * The refresh on some demos is not done correctly which can cause
