[scilab-Users] Fileexchange & Atoms resources hidden to Open Search engines

[Simon GARESTE]

Hi,

This comes from a misconfiguration from our part, and was not an 
intended behavior. I'll change this as soon as possible.
I don't understand which flag are you talking about on ATOMS, could you 
be more specific? I will add a note on the website to indicate that 
windows modules need to be in a different version if we want to make 
them available for the 5.4 : we do not currently have a way on atoms to 
have both a <5.4 and 5.4 valid compiled module on the same version of 
the module.
