Scilab Description

Scilab project is a is a numerical computation system similiar to Matlab or Simulink. Scilab project is a is a numerical computation system similiar to Matlab or Simulink.Scilab is an open source numerical computation platform developed by a consortium managed by INRIA (French National Institute for Research in Computer Science and Control) which, to date, gathers 23 industrial companies, research centers and engineer schools. It provides a powerful environment for the development of scientific applications and for engineering. Each month, nearly 20,000 remote downloads ofScilab are registered from the Internet site of the Consortium, which takes Scilab one of the most valued pieces of open source scientific oftware.Mandriva, whose membership to the Scilab Consortium is pending, and he Scilab Consortium agreed to integrate Scilab into the new Mandriva Linux 2007 distribution (Discovery, Powerpack and Powerpack+). The development teams of Scilab and Mandriva cooperated in the integration f the latest version of Scilab (v4.0, announced in February 2006 and since downloaded more than 150,000 times) into this new Mandriva release. It is planned to continue this arrangement for future versions of Mandriva Linux and of Scilab. In addition, Scilab will also be integrated into Corporate Desktop 4, the Mandriva Linux workstation for businesses.About The Scilab ConsortiumThe Scilab software is, since May 2003, produced by a consortium, managed by INRIA, which, to date, has 23* industrial companies, research centers and engineering schools as members. The creation of the Scilab Consortium reflects a will to produce an open source numerical computation platform of high quality. Scilab is developed by a dedicated and permanent team hosted by INRIA. Moreover, its open source nature allows external contributions and thus a level of know-how in the field of scientific computation can be reached which a single company could otherwise claim only with difficulty. Nearly 20,000 remote downloads of the Scilab software are carried out each month from the official site of the Consortium to the benefit of European and foreign companies, universities and research centers. Themembership of the Scilab Consortium is in constant growth. Requirements: · Tcl/Tk · ATLAS · gtk+ · LAPACK What's New in This Release: · Catalan localization added (Thanks Oriol Gonzalez and others) · 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 in javasci translated into english · 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 have 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",,"skip_tests"); test_run() : The following tags have been added : · o If the operating system isn't an unix OS, the test is skipped. · o If the operating system isn't Linux, the test is skipped. · Many bugfixes
