This file details the changes between Scilab 6.0.2 (this release) and the old stable release 5.5.2 (including information from 6.0.1 and 6.0.0). For changelogs of earlier releases, please see Scilab 5.5.2.
This file is intended for the specific needs of advanced users, and describes:
For a high-level description of the main new features of this release, please consult the embedded help. 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:
stacksize anymore.tbx_make() function is added to build a toolbox following the toolbox directory structure conventionhelp, 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 themtbx_builder_gateway: scans the subdirectories under sci_gateway for builder files and executes themWindows starting changes:
The options -nw and -nwni are no longer supported by binaries (WScilex.exe, WScilex-cli.exe and Scilex.exe). Each binary already matches an execution mode and batch file Scilab.bat has been added to select the right binary depending on the option flag:
scilab starts WScilex.exe : Scilab with GUI and full functionnalities.scilab -nw starts WScilex-cli.exe: Scilab CLI with full functionnalities.scilab -nwni starts Scilex.exe: Scilab CLI without Java, Graphics, Xcos, etc.Others flags are forwarded to binaries as before.
To build Scilab from sources, or to build extensions code (Toolboxes):
--without-xcos now only disable Xcos compilation. Xcos graphical interface is disabled using --without-gui.Scilab embedded JVM has been upgraded to Java 1.8. To run or compile Scilab you need at least:
Windows:
Mac OS X:
Linux:
For more information, please consult: What are the system requirements for Java?
SSE2, Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 support is now mandatory to run Scilab on Linux i686.
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 for details and examples.
1.. \n 2."abc..\ndef" now yields an error./* ...\n ... \n ... */ are now possible.1./M is now parsed as 1 ./ M instead of 1. / M.~ has now a priority higher than comparisons == ~= < <= => > one.(a=b) executed as a == b is now deprecated and returns an error.end instead of endfunction.{} and [] are now distinct operators.

counting). It is equivalent to size( ,"*"). It was formerly always equal to 3. It is now consistent with the definition for all types of Scilab arrays..dims field has been removed, please use size() instead.length() of a structures array is now the number of its primary components (without recursive counting). It is equivalent to size( ,"*"). It was formerly equal to its number of fields + 2. It is now consistent with the definition for all types of Scilab arrays.mlist overloading).typeof now returns the actual data type like constant, string, ... instead of hypermattype now returns the actual data type like 1, 10, ... instead of 17 (mlist)..dims and .entries fields have been removed.

The AUTOMAT icon now shows Nmodes and Nstates values. The SineVoltage icon now shows the frequency value. In the Electrical palette, the Resistor, Inductor, Capacitor, and ConstantVoltage icons now show the actual value of the parameter.INVBLK: add a divide by zero parameter to ignore the errorPRODUCT: add a divide by zero parameter to ignore the errorWFILE_f block, please use WRITEC_f instead.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).
