available.


CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION

NEW:

  * Added a margin showing which lines are currently modified in
    the edited file

  * Contents of comboboxes of the find/replace dialog is kept
    across Scipad sessions

  * Added command "Revert all colors to default"


FIXED BUGS:

  * Execution of strings containing "//" (this was reported in
    Scilab as bug 9132)

  * Indent selection did not work for lines containing exactly
    one character

  * Commenting empty lines did no longer work since Scipad 8.62

  * Open source of... quickly after closing a buffer could
    propose obsolete function names because the most recent
    colorization run for user functions was not yet done

  * Changing a preference color triggered an error if there
    was hidden textareas

  * Behaviour of block paste was not correct when a block
    selection was existing when calling block paste

  * When closing Scilab or Scicoslab while an unsaved file
    was open in Scipad, a Tcl error could pop up or Scipad
    could be killed by Scilab exit process before the data
    in Scipad could be saved - This bug had been introduced
    in Scipad 8.49

  * Reworked button-2 copy/paste


WHAT IS SCIPAD ?
================

Scipad is a powerful editor and graphical debugger for programs 
written in Scilab language. It is a mature and highly configurable 
programmer's editor, including features like syntax colorization, 
regexp search/replace, parentheses matching, logical/physical line 
numbering, peer windows, line and block text editing, and much more. 
Scipad can be used along with Scicoslab or Scilab, but even as a 
standalone text editor. Used as internal Sci(cos)lab editor, it 
interacts tightly with the interpreter, allowing

  - Scilab code execution control
  - conditional breakpointing
  - variable retrieval and tooltip display
  - Scilab help lookup
  - access to source code of Scilab library function
  - control of Scilab facilities for Matlab code and creation of
    help documents
  - and much more

Scipad also includes basic Modelica and XML syntax colorization; it is 
currently localized in 13 languages and further localizations can 
easily be added. Scipad is entirely written in Tcl/Tk and Scilab 
language. It has been tested and developed under various versions of 
Windows and Linux.
