2.1 to 2.2 Major improvements
=============================
- New simulation tools
* Scicos hybrid connected object simulator (Beta test version).
* A discrete/continuous ode solver odedc has been added.
* All ode solvers parameters are now available through %ODEOPTIONS
variable and odeoptions function.
* addition of DAE solver with root finder (dasrt).
- New version of Metanet
- New GUI utilities
* Choice menu for xset parameters (see xset() ).
* Menus to print/export graphics.
* It is now possible to interactively zoom 2d plots and rotate 3d
plots using the graphic window buttons.
* Function to create and handle new buttons (see addmenu).
* Function to get filenames (see xgetfile).
* It is now possible to kill graphic windows using menu or xdel
function.
- Optimization
* New versions of optimization routines.
* Non differentiable optimization added (optim('nd',...).
- Miscellaneous
* scilab stack size may now be allocated at startup time and within
scilab (see stacksize).
* It is now possible to read and write data in integer format.
* a new data type "typed-list" designed for "soft coded"
operations (see tlist).
* all the documentation of Scilab in Postscript compressed files
is no longer distributed with Scilab distribution. You will find
it by anonymous ftp on "ftp.inria.fr:/INRIA/Projects/Meta2/Scilab/doc"
(internet# 192.93.2.54).
2.1 to 2.2 Incompatiblities
===========================
- Due to an initial inconsistency in typed lists, a new data type
("typed-list") has been created to handle new objects associated
with "soft coded" operations. The old way still works, but will be
discarded in the next realease.
- x(:) extraction/insertion has been changed for string and polynomial
matrices do be coherent with the usual matrices.
- error message 48 split in 240 (read) et 241 (write)
check errcatch(48,..) usage in macros
- an argument has been added to xsegs to set line style, It is no more
possible to use xset('dashes',n);xsegs(..) to set line styles.
- Most of xset parameters are now attached to their particular window.
- plot3di, fac3di interactive functions have been replaced by plot3d
and fac3d.
- Metanet has been fully revisited, many metanet related functions
have been corrected and renamed.
