[scilab-Users] Scilab 5.2.0 is released !

[Stefan Du Rietz]

Hello,
I tried Scilab 5.2.0 on two other computers and the graphics worked. 
But the issues which I reported a year ago:
http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3881
remained. So I still have to stick to 4.2.1...


This is from the first computer where it crashed:

This driver (from 2009-08-04) was installed from
9-7_agp-hotfix_xp32_dd_ccc.exe
and there have been no other issues since.


Then I checked
http://support.amd.com/us/kbarticles/Pages/CatalystAGPHotfix.aspx
for a new driver and found
9-12_agp-hotfix_xp32_dd_ccc.exe
which I ran (after having uninstalled the old one) and it said that it 
would install ATI Display Driver  8.681.0.0000.


But Scilab still crashed and the driver was the same: 8.632.0.0... ;-(

-->getdebuginfo()
gave exactly the same answer.
