Hello Sylvestre,<br>
<br>
thank you for your mail -- at the moment I can say that in the weekend,
I have tested scilab-master-1276871586.exe quite thoroughly and am so
satisfied that I forwarded it to our students, together with
scilab-master-1276780858_x64.exe, which I am about to test soon.<br>
<br>
If I have a choice, I would prefer to assist in fixing bugs at the
Linux builds, which still suffer from problems that prohibit usage -- I
inspected mostly the 64 bit version, but I expect the 32 bit version to
be equally affected, as the error message seemingly is thrown by the
Java frontend.<br>

at scilab-master-1276266589.bin.linux-x86_64.tar.gz, I would like to
present the error message I receive -- as I suspect a
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError to be possibly a problem of access to a
native library which might be very easy to solve. It is thrown whenever
I try to drag something out of the palette browser (didn't find this at
Bugzilla):<br>

In regard of a tutorial, I am in fact writing at the moment something
which might be regarded as one, 20-30 pages, with economically
motivated examples which should be easy to integrate into lessons,
consuming about 2-6 hours of lecture, depending on the students.<br>
<br>
Once I can forward working binaries for Linux, too, I will be very
satisfied, and could assist the Tk to JGraphX transition -- here I
first would like to improve the branching of connections.<br>
<br>
Seemingly, some (O)Caml code is used inside Scilab... very interesting
stuff... :-)<br>
<br>
<br>
All the best, and thank you for your reply,<br>

<pre wrap="">Hello Nick,
We will try to provide good nightly build during next week (on our code
review system [1], we accepted a lot of new patches during the last few
days. They should fix some issues) and we are planning to release a beta
of Scilab 5.3.0 during the next few weeks.
If you want to help, you are welcome. There are many way to help us. You
can provide some real life demos (or showing what we should improve) on
Xcos (or Scilab). With some coordination with Clément, you could also
help us by fixing some bugs [2] or provide some tutorials on Xcos.
There are many ways to help us, it is up to you.
Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
Cheers,
Sylvestre

<pre wrap="">SIGH... Thank you for answering, Clément,
This gives hope... With at least mediocre Java & C/C++ knowledge, is
there a way to assist you?
I would be interested in binaries for {Linux|Windows}{64|32} to be
handed out to our students -- do you know of a nightly build of the past
time that ran quite stable? I saw lots of new features (especially in
regard of the GUI) at the current nightly build; maybe there is on
without these, but running fine?
We are only doing introductory stuff, no specialties are needed --
others might also be interested in having a (temporary) link to a such
release, I assume.
If the delay is as described by Ray -- do you already have a theory how
this might be fixed, and can I support you in any way? I would love to
contribute in making available these four binaries for
{Linux|Windows}{64|32}...
All the best,
Nick

<pre wrap="">Dear list,
I apologize for this inconvenience. We just released the 5.2.2 version
on a rush to correct some blocking bugs (related to hdf5 and our hdf5
wrapper) and just use a rapid validation phase.
The next version will provide more and more improvement on the Xcos
editor and we will validate it even more than any previous Xcos version.
If you are using nightly builds please resync the third-party repository
as some thirdparties has been updated.
Some delay may also appear when dragging icons from the palette please
report these issues if you find it unacceptable.
Regards,
Clément

<pre wrap="">Nick,
The specific match is (b) dragging blocks in 5.2.2. This did not work
the first couple of times. But after waiting a while, it worked.
This was repeatable.
