There is very low activity, if any, around xpad (aka the new "text 
editor" of Scilab 5.2.x) in git master or in the 5.2 branch. Check it 
yourself:

The opteam had kicked Scipad out of Scilab before Scilab 5.2.0.

To get Scipad back you can:
   - reinstall Scilab 5.1.1
   - use atoms to install it in Scilab 5.2.0 (but this atoms version 
of Scipad does not work properly)
   - use Scicoslab (http://www.scicoslab.org) which will provide you 
with the latest Scipad with full working functionalities, including 
graphical debug tools.

Good luck,
Francois
