First, about HDF5, we merged in the master the last step to our HDF5
transition.
We are introducing the SOD (Scilab Open Data) format which is based on
HDF5.
The current behavior of the save/load functions are not changed but a
warning will be triggered.
The right behavior is now to call :
save("myDataFile.sod","a","b")
The SOD file will be usable by any other HDF5 library/applications. The
format is open and fully documented (see SEP #64).
This will be the default format for Scilab 6.0. The previous format will
be dropped.
We will communicate more on that with the 5.4.0 release.
This format has been already used in Scilab/Xcos for a while and is
fully covered by our test suite.
For those who used export_to_hdf5, it is exactly the same format (with
the management of graphic handles).

Could you share an URL ?

We are not trying to follow other implementation but use inspiration
from other projects to provide what we believe to be the best solution.
But sure, we will have a look!

Thanks for your input!
