Since Serge has found a solution that fix some of the broken 
functionalities of Scilab debugger, I think that Scilab 5.1 is a 
realistic target.

We plan to reduce the delay between our minor versions and then plan a 
5.1 version for next December where Scipad debugger will be fully 
functional and where many bugs will be fixed.

What do you think about it ?
