I recently began the port of arkscicos (now arktoolbox) to xcos. So far
this has just consisted of some renaming, and putting the skeleton xcos
toolbox in the git repo. I imagine that this will be quite straightforward
since most of the important block code is written in C++ and can be added
to the C++ library, this leaves simple function calls like
interface->send(u) etc for the xcos/scicos interface functions. I will
begin this refactoring soon. Peter, what is your status, I want to make
sure I collaborate with you for the port.
New project page: https://github.com/arktools/arktoolbox
P.S. The latest bug fixes to xcos in 5.4.0-alpha-1 are very helpful. I
think now that xcos is more stable I may shift my primary development focus
to xcos. Great work!
