I think it is the right time to explain why some Scilab people switched from @scilab.org to @scilab-enterprises.com. A short story for people who are not familiar about the life of Scilab. For more than 20 years, Scilab has been developed as a research project in INRIA. The project becoming more and more popular, the Scilab Consortium has been created in 2003. However, as the main goal of INRIA being research and not acting as a software editor, the Consortium has been kindly hosted by Digiteo for a limited period of time in order to improve the software and its ecosystem and prepare the future within a dedicated and independent structure. With the support of INRIA, our time in Digiteo has been used to improve our network of users and partners. To carry on this adventure, we have created Scilab Enterprises (AKA S/E) last year. S/E is a classical corporation with the well-known open source business model while developing Scilab software and its extensions. Scilab will remain free (both as speech or beer). For example, we are already doing some specific developments over (or on) Scilab for big international customers (more information will come on the S/E website), did training, providing support, etc. All this also participate to still provide to the community with a free and open source software. Many information are available on the website: http://www.scilab-enterprises.com/ Anyway, more new and shinny features will come out S/E, I will give you more information in the next few months.

Thanks, both of you! I ended up downloading Master _and_ 5.4.0-alpha-1 and "diff-ed" them. As of Friday, last, there wasn't much difference (except in the version spec.) FYI, I found a fairly serious (crash-causing) stacksize bug in 5.3.3 (git version) which has probably been around for awhile. I wanted to see if it went away with the latest, which I have not been following for some time.
