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.<div>

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!</div>

</div>Actually, the scicoslab API is complex, old and deprecated. Scilab has<br>
the same one but has been replaced by API_Scilab<br>
See the advantages over stack1,2,3 API here:<br>
