Welcome to Scilab 6.0.0 beta-2
==============================

This file details the changes between Scilab 6.0.0 (this release), and the previous release 5.5.2.
For changelogs of earlier releases, please see [Scilab 5.5.2](https://www.scilab.org/en/content/download/3332/24658/file/Scilab5.5.2_ReleaseNotes.pdf).

This file is intended for the specific needs of advanced users, and describes:
- High-level new features,
- Changes in installation, compilation, and compatibility,
- Changes in the language,
- New and modified features, in each module,
- Changes in functions (removed/added/modified),
- Bug fixes.

This changelog is most likely incomplete, as an enormous amount of code has changed between 5.5.2 and 6.
Please report any thing we could have missed, on the [mailing lists][1] or on the [bug tracker][2],
and we will correct it before the final Scilab 6.0.0 release.

Main new features
-----------------

For high-level description of the main new features of this release, please
consult the [embedded help](modules/helptools/data/pages/homepage-en_US.html). It is also available
as the "What's new" page of the help, by simply typing `help` in Scilab console.

In summary, the main new features are:
* New language parser and interpreter, ensuring:
  - Support for bigger data sets, thanks to dynamic memory usage. No need for `stacksize` anymore.
  - Better performance for some objects (cells and structs).
  - Clearer, less ambiguous, language syntax.
  - Xcos also uses the new re-written Scilab engine.
* New code productivity features: full-featured debugger, profiler / coverage tool, and "lint"-like commands.
* Newsfeed, providing a continuous feed of news, tips, and general communication from the community and from Scilab Enterprises.
* Licensing change: Scilab is now released under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL) v2.0
It is still also available under the terms of the CeCILL v2.1.
* A `tbx_make()` function is added to build a toolbox following the toolbox directory structure convention
* ATOMS builder functions are now less dependent on the script files in the macros, `help`, `etc`, `src` and `sci_gateway` directories. These functions will do nothing (but warn the user) if they find no target to build:
  - `tbx_builder_macros`: compiles the `.sci` files present in `macros/` directory into the toolbox library. If `buildmacros.sce` or `builder.sce` script in `macros/` are present, executes them instead;
  - `tbx_builder_help`: compiles the help for each language (`la_LA`) directories in `help/`. If `builder_help` script is present in help, executes it instead;
  - `tbx_build_loader`: builds a default loader that mimics the skeleton `.start` files. If a `.start` file is found in `etc/` builds a loader calling this script;
  - `tbx_builder_src`: scans the subdirectories under `src` for builder files and executes them
  - `tbx_builder_gateway`: scans the subdirectories under `sci_gateway` for builder files and executes them


Installation
------------

* Under Windows, MKL packages are now included in Scilab installer and are not more downloaded anymore while installing Scilab.


Compilation
-----------

Language changes
----------------

Some small changes have been done to the language syntax, aiming at more clarity and less
ambiguity. Some changes are not compatible with 5.5; code written for Scilab 5.x
has to be modified in order to work in Scilab 6.0.

See [the wiki page on porting code from 5.5 to 6.0](https://wiki.scilab.org/FromScilab5ToScilab6)
for details and examples.

* Declaration of a number on two lines is no longer allowed: `1.. \n 2`.
* Comment blocks on multiple lines `/* ...\n ... \n ... */` are now possible.
* `1./M` is now parsed as `1 ./ M` instead of `1. / M`.
* Declaring strings using non-homogenous delimiters ("string' or 'string") is no longer allowed.
* `(a=b)` executed as `a == b` is now deprecated and returns an error.
* Function definitions can finish with `end` instead of `endfunction`.
* `{}` and `[]` are now distinct operators. Matrices can no longer be defined usind `{}` operators.
These are reserved for cell definition.
* Shortcut and element-wise boolean operators are now distinct. `&&` and `||` are new shortcut boolean AND and OR,
while `&` and `|` are element-wise operations and will not shortcut one of the operand.
Both shortcut and element-wise operators are evaluated from left to right.
* Syntax `%i:10` is now deprecated (only real scalars can be used).
* `while ... else ... end` control instruction is not supported anymore.
* Transposed matrix can now use the extraction operator directly `A'(1, 2)`.
* Function without output argument cannot be called in assignation expression anymore:
	```
	function foo()
		//...
	endfunction

	val = foo() // now returns an error
	```


Feature changes and additions
-----------------------------

* Addition or subtraction with an empty matrix now returns an empty matrix.
* scatter/scatter3 plot with different mark colors is now available.
* parulacolormap is now available.
* name2rgb can now handle a single string and a matrix of strings.
* `isoview`, `isoview on`, `isoview off`, `isoview(idGraphics, "on"|"off")` are now supported.
* `twinkle` and `twinkle(n)` are now supported: by default, the current element `gce` blinks.
* `replot` has been upgraded:
  - a bound set to %inf now gets the position of the most marginal object,
  - replot() can now be used to reframe axes to all their contents,
  - option "tigh_limits" added,
  - Any handle having some Axes as direct children -- as uicontrol-frame -- is now supported.
* `householder` can now return the reflection matrix, and has a demo.
* `ndgrid` can now works with any types of homogeneous data.
* `bench_run` can now return its results and/or record them in a file.
* `typeof(.., "overload")` allows now to get the overloading type-code of an object.
* `sign` can now handle a sparse matrix.
* `sleep(..,'s')` allows now to specify the duration in seconds.
* `real`, `imag`, `conj` and `isreal` now accept rational fractions.
* A call stack limit has been introduced. Default maximum depth is setup to 1000
and can be changed by `recursionlimit` or through the Preferences interface.
* The floating point exception mode `ieee` is now set to `2` by default: floating
point exceptions now produce `Inf` or `Nan`, and do not cause any error.
The previous behavior can be recalled by simply calling: `ieee(0)`.
* The graphics entity "Datatip" has its property `z_component = 'on|off'` changed to
`display_components = 'xyz'`; it is now possible to choose which components to display,
and in which order. Loading old `*.scg` files containing datatips with "z_component"
property may not display the z component.
* Valgrind error detection added to `test_run` (on Linux only).
* `amell` now:
  - checks if its parameters are real numbers,
  - throws an error if the second parameter is not a scalar.
* The use of I/O console is now allowed with the following functions: `mget`,
`mgetl`, `mgetstr`, `mput`, `mputl` and `mputstr`.
* `mclearerr` now returns a flag indicating the file identifier validity.
* `fileinfo` can now take a row vector as input.
* `msprintf` does not return an error message anymore when there are too many
input arguments (more values that format needs).
* `deletefile` can delete multiple files at once.
* `exec` of macro executes the body in the current scope, but the prototype must have zero
input and output arguments.
* `error`: an error number in input is deprecated.
* `impl`: Recall impl with the same parameters as in its previous stop is now available.
* `ode`: `y0` is restricted to a column vector.
* `pppdiv`: Return a scalar of type 'constant' when the rank is 0.
* `pdiv`: Return a matrix of type 'constant' when all the rank are 0.
* `test_run` can now take "[]" as argument to be used on console; for instance: `test_run string [] no_check_ref`.
* `typeof(:)` and `typeof(n:$)` now return `"implicitlist"` instead of respectively `"constant"` and `"size implicit"`.
* `strange([])` now returns `%nan` instead of `[]`, as all other functions for statistical dispersion.
* `stdev(x, dir>ndims(x))` now yields an error instead of returning `zeros(x)`.
* `write`: Writing string or string matrix in a file does not add blank space before each value.
* `bitor`, `bitxor` and `bitand` are upgraded:
   - positive signed encoded integers are now accepted.
   - inputs with new `int64` or `uint64` encodings are now accepted.
   - operands with mixed types or/and inttypes are now accepted.
   - distributive input scalars as in `bit###(scalar, array)` or `bit###(array, scalar)` are now accepted.
   - results with decimal-encoded integers > 2^32 are now correct.
   - decimal-encoded integers > 2^52 are now supported up to the biggest 1.80D+308.
   - `bitxor` is now vectorized and fast.
* The zoom rubber box now can start/finish from points lying outside the axes bounds.
* The zoom rubber box now can select multiple and overlying axes at once. Changed behavior of scroll zoom,
scrolling over overlying axes will zoom all of them together, using the CTRL key while scrolling
will zoom all axes in the current figure.
* The graphics entity "Datatip" has a new property `detached_position` which accepts `[]`
or a 3-components vector to set the position in axes coordinates to draw the datatip text box.
* `MPI_Create_comm` create a new communicator from MPI_COMM_WORLD using MPI world ranks.

Help pages:
-----------

* fixed / improved:  `members`, `part`, `ode`, `ode_optional_output`, `ode_roots`, `roots`,
  `printf`, `sprintf`, `iconvert`, `stdev`, `xlabel`, `and_op`, `or_op`, `%helps`
* rewritten: `consolebox`, `double`, `isoview`, `householder`, `or`, `and`, `format`, `typeof`,
`brackets`, `setlanguage`, `sleep`, `isinf`, `bitor`, `bitxor`, `bitand`
* reorganized:
  - `else`, `elseif`, `end`, `try`, `sciargs`, `global`, `halt`, `empty`, `power`
  - CACSD and Signal Processing help pages have been sorted up.
  - Colormaps and GUI/Menus subsections created
* translations added:
  - (fr): `format`, `typeof`, `isoview`, `ndgrid`, `bench_run`, `consolebox`, `harmean`, `sleep`, `strtod`
  - (ru): homepage


Data Structures
---------------

* cells and structs are now native types, hence improving performances.
* cells:
  - insertion and extraction must be done via `()` or `{}.`
  - `.dims` and `.entries` fields have been removed, please use `size` and `()` instead.
* struct
  - `.dims` field has been removed, please use size instead.
* hypermatrix:
  - hypermatrices are natively managed (without `mlist` overloading).
  - typeof function now returns real type like `constant`, `string`, ... instead of `hypermat`
  - type function returns real type like `1, 10, ...` instead of `17` (`mlist`).
  - `.dims` and `.entries` fields have been removed, please use `size` and `()` instead.


Xcos
----

* Major rewrite of the data structures, huge models should load and save faster.
The memory usage on diagram edition is also slightly reduced.
* ZCOS and XCOS file formats have evolved to reduce the duplicated information.
Scilab 5.5.2 is able to open the newly saved files, but the ports have to be repositioned manually.
* Implicit fixed-size step ODE solver added: Crank-Nicolson 2(3).
Added to the CVode package, it also benefits from the CVode rootfinding feature.
* Block modifications :
  - `INVBLK`: add a divide by zero parameter to ignore the error
  - `PRODUCT`: add a divide by zero parameter to ignore the error


API modification
----------------

A new set of C APIs to write C or C++ extensions (toolboxes) to Scilab.
It allows defining native functions (commonly called "gateways"), getting input parameters
for such functions, setting return parameters, accessing local variables, using common helper
functions for accessing environment information (such as warning level), generate errors...

It also includes ways to overload existing Scilab functions to support additional parameter
types (see `help scilab_overload`). Finally, you can call back Scilab functions
(macros and built-in functions) from your gateway (see `help scilab_call`).

User-defined functions written in C or C++ (gateways) must now use a `void* pvApiCtx` name
as a second parameter instead of any `unsigned long l`. This is now required for some macros, such as `Rhs`, to work.

For example: use `int sci_Levkov(char *fname, void* pvApiCtx)` instead of `int sci_Levkov(char *fname)` or `int sci_Levkov(char *fname, unsigned long l)`.


Obsolete functions or features
------------------------------

* `maxfiles` is now obsolete.
* `isoview(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax)` is deprecated. Please use `isoview("on"), replot(..)` instead.
* `eval3d` will be removed from Scilab 6.1. Please use `ndgrid` instead.
* `strcmpi` is deprecated. Please use `strcmp(..,"i")`instead.
