[Scilab-users] Scilab 6.0.2 is released!

[amonmayr at laas.fr]

Hi all,

Thanks for the good work, the list of bug fixes is quite impressive and 
I am happy to see among them some nasty bugs that were really annoying 
for me.
Sadly, http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15336 is still present 
(scilab crashes right away on many ubuntu linux machines due to opengl 
driver issues).
The workaround it quite simple
     export MESA_GL_VERSION_OVERRIDE=3.0 ; scilab
and easy to apply.
But it's a terrible first experience for new users and, as the local 
scilab advocate, I can tell you that for many people it's enough to let 
them drop the ball and install matlab...

Cheers,

Antoine
