This file details the changes between Scilab 6.1.0 (this version), and the previous release 6.0.2. For changelogs of earlier releases, please see Scilab 6.0.2.
This file is intended for the specific needs of advanced users, and describes:
Please report anything we could have missed, on the mailing lists or the bug tracker.
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:
argnGNU autotools have been updated to :
Linux and macOS builds require a C++17 compiler. Toolboxes might also want to use this standard by specifying -std=c++17 as a CFLAGS
Migration to Microsoft Visual Studio 2017 and Intel Composer 2018
Scilab embedded JVM is Java 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.

#14606: Memory used by variables returned by [names,mem]=who() was always zero.
#14610: x = ric_desc(H,E) always yielded an error. [x1,x2,residual] = ric_desc(..) returned a wrong residual value.
#14642: No more "\r" carriage return with printf.
#14655: bitset worked only element-wise, without accepting mixed scalar and array inputs.

#15359: twinkle was not able to blink several independent objects.
#15360: numer and denom were poor and duplicates of the .num and .den fields of rationals. They are removed.
#15368: freson silently returned frequencies not corresponding to a maximum, or returned [] instead of some still computable maxima frequencies.
#15392: comet and comet3d did not allow specifying colors with colors names.
#15393: In a new figure, nicholschart plotted nothing. The default frame color was a flashy cyan. The position of gain labels could be puzzling. It was not possible to specify colors by their names. Postprocessing the frames and the set of labels was not easy.
#15421: A new smarter default grid_style was required since smart lines styles #7-10 are available.
#15425: The Kronecker product a .*. b failed when a or b or both are hypermatrices, with one or both being polynomials or rationals.

#15451: The code was not adapted to use lucene 4.10 in Debian.
#15514: The set documentation page needed to be overhauled.
#15517: factorial could be actually used up to only n=170.

#15577: edit did not accept a line number as text, as with edit linspace 21.
#15580: det(sparse([],[])) yielded an error.
#15581: display of complex matrix was ugly.
#15595: unique was not able to return distinct values in their original order, without sorting them. A keepOrder option now allows it.
#15628: with_tk was a duplicate of with_module('tclsci'). It is removed.
#15643: Features with the signed zero -0 were not documented.

#15745: diophant(0,0,m), diophant([p 0],q), diophant([0 p],q) with m<>0 and p>q were wrong. There was no flag for cases with an infinite number of solutions. When there is no solution, some values were returned anyway, instead of []. In this case, the documented definition of the err value was dubious. Decimal numbers and integers were accepted, but not encoded integers. Inf and NaN input coefficients were not rejected.
#15812: On assigning variables the source variable may become become corrupted
#15821: fac3d and fac3d1 were still in Scilab 6.0 despite they were tagged obsolete 14 years ago in Scilab 4.1

#15840: grand(1,"prm",m) yielded an unsqueezed size([size(m) 1]) hypermatrix
#15861: The overloadname internal macro defined in CACSD was a duplicate of typeof(,"overload"). It is removed.
#15874: The scatter3 function name was an unfounded naming exception. It had to be renamed scatter3d.
#15921: Xcos user's function scifunc_block_m block: any < in the expression was not displayed on the block's icon.
#15934: The ^ hat page wrongly indicated that ^ applied to a rectangular matrix not being a vector is done element-wise.

#15964: A complex empty sparse matrix could be obtained after insertion.
#15965: plot(x,y) did not accept y as encoded integers.
#15967: setdiff(1,[]) was [] instead of 1. setdiff(a,[],..) was not enough tested.
#15969: Fix spelling
#15974: msprintf("%d", %nan) did not return Nan
#15977: The documentation for wavread(..,'info') had a mistake. The wavread page deserved some improvements.
#15978: The writewav page in english said that input data are one column per channel, instead of one row per channel. In addition, in case of writing error, savewave kept the output file open and locked.
#15979: EXPRESSION, CLR and DLR Xcos blocks did not (always) correctly display multicharacter exponents in expressions displayed in their icons.
#15981: wavread kept the wav file open and locked when returning on errors. It weakly managed the input file name. It claimed for invalid data formats instead of unsupported ones, with poor information about the current format vs the supported ones. Several error messages refered to a wrong function.
#15983: group regressed in 5.5.2 due to a too intrusive fix.
#15984: display scale was wrong with Retina dispplays on OSX..
#15995: patch was missing in surface plot (regression)

#16019: polarplot(x,Z) yielded an error when x is a vector and Z a matrix.
#16021: tand([-90 90]) answered [Nan Nan] instead of [-Inf, Inf]. cotd([-90 90]) answered [Nan Nan] instead of [0 0]. 1 ./cosd([-90 90]) answered [Inf -Inf] instead of [Inf Inf].
#16026: For atanh, neither the documentation pages nor the m2sci converter were up to date.
#16028: The length of intdec(intdec(x, r), 1/r) was most often different from length(x).
#16046: After w=ssrand(2,3,4), []+w, []-w, w+[] and w-[] yielded an "operation +/- []" warning.
#16051: undefined list elements could be of 2 distinct typeof "void" or "listundefined" according to the way they are created.
#16053: plot(,"color",c) no longer supported standard abbreviated color names c like "k" for black.
#16062: tbx_make did not allow easily to force building all toolbox sections without the toolbox builder (if any). tbx_make(Dir,"*") now does it.
#16064: tbx_make(Dir,'localization') did not update .mo files from .po.
#16065: Building help pages including some scilab:image tags used and finally deleted the current on-screen figures (if any)!
#16067: The display of matrices of signed integers was misaligned (regression of 6.0.0 vs 5.5.2)
#16071: prettyprint(complex(1,%nan)) omitted the "+" in 1 + Nani. It printed positive exponents with a useless "+". For any input nul polynomial, the string result never included the name of the variable. Default input arguments could not be skipped. ExportFormat was uselessly case-sensitive. For tex|latex: for text input, $ \ % & { } ~ and ^ special characters were not protected ; spaces were not protected, all words were concatenated ; for polynomials and rationals, the result string could be extremely long and not easily wrappable. For MathML: "<" was not protected ;
#16072: prettyprint did not actually support input encoded integers.
#16075: prettyprint was broken for cells.

#16090: The documentation of prbs_a was poor and unclear.
#16095: For a matrix of graphic handles of same types, it was no longer possible to clear a property by assigning [].
#16097: coth was more than twice slower than 1./tanh(). tanh and coth did not accept sparse-encoded input.
#16102: lstcat could not concatenate input lists with mixed objects of types>10 like 1:$, sin, sind, struct, cells, tlists or mlists. In addition, it was slow for very long inputs lists.
#16104: assert_checkequal did not support properly or at all Nan and void in lists, Nan in sparse, implicit lists, macros, libraries, built-in functions, graphical handles. For input arrays or lists of matching typeof and sizes, the failure message did not display neither the index nor the values of the first mismatching elements.
#16108: For the CSCOPE and CMSCOPE blocks, the Label&id parameter entered in their interface were not displayed below the block's icon.
#16111: isglobal was not supporting non-scalar array of strings as input.
#16118: %s <> (1+%s) returned %F.
#16120: tree_show was broken cells within containers.
#16121: tree_show void components were displayed as non-empty.
#16124: sci2exp({}) result could not be executed.
#16128: tree_show need improvements.

#16135: base2dec did not detect invalid numbers.
#16137: After running playsnd on Windows for a long sound, it was not possible to stop it.
#16138: playsnd could not be run in a non-modal (asynchronous) way on Linux and MacOS.
#16139: auread and auwrite kept the sound file open and locked when returning on errors. They poorly handled the default .au sound file extension.
#16140: playsnd could not directly accept an audio file and could not repeat the input sound.
#16143: clc(n) cleared n+1 lines instead of n>0. Thus, it was not possible to clear only one line.
#16144: Addition of sparse matrices gave incorrect results.
#16145: integrate and intg default absolute tolerances atol were no longer the same. integrate's default relative tolerance rtol was not the same in case of 3 or 4 input arguments.
#16148: setPreferencesValue is a general usage function and deserved to be renamed xmlSetValues.
#16149: fullpath did not support symbolic links in paths
#16152: For sparse or boolean sparse matrix s, s([]) returned [] instead of sparse([]).
#16155: flipdim(hypermat,dim,sb) yielded wrong results for dim<3 and sb>1, and yielded an error for dim>2.
#16158: When a multicolumn array of rationals was displayed wide column per column, columns #2:$ were replaced with its column #2.
#16160: ppol changed values of third input variable.
#16162: noisegen() and prbs_a() deserved to be moved to the elementary_functions module, gathered with rand() and grand() in a new elementarymatrices/random help subsection.
#16163: prbs_a() did not comply with the requested number of switches. The biased number of actual switches was unpredictable, preventing to manage its statistical distribution. The probability of the initial state was biased. For instance, prbs_a(n,0) always returned ones(1,n).
#16164: Help pages in elementary_functions/signal_processing were mislocated.
#16166: noisegen is crooky, even threatening, and very poor. It is tagged as obsolete and will be removed from Scilab 6.1.x.
#16167: When get(0).showHiddenHandles is "on", clf('reset') unexpectedly removed native menus.
#16168: On some Linux installations, test_run always failed.

#16223: EXPRESSION, CLR and DLR Xcos blocks sometimes displayed multiplied terms in an ambiguous way in their icons.
#16227: WSCI was not defined as environment variable and could not be used as %WSCI% in commands sent with host or unix_*.
#16228: bode and nyquist inline demos did not clear and reset the current axes where to draw, what could yield an error.
#16229: Some outdated parts of the help scilab page were misleading.
