Sorry to hijack the conversation but is bug #11257 (memory leak in
graphics) solved in the recent nightly?<br>
Last time I checked a nightly, the issue was there.<br>
Even with the workaround proposed in
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;
charset=ISO-8859-1">
<a href="http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11257#c6">http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=11257#c6</a>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html;

graphics were unusable for me and my colleagues.<br>
That's a show stopper for us if 5.4 ships with such a bug .... :-(<br>

<div>Hi,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Firstly, congrats on the development – certainly a
mammoth task but the continual improvement of Scilab/xcos
environment is clearly evident !</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Whilst I start on a positive note, I’m afraid to report
my journey to Scilab/Xcos, through Scicos, has been fraught
with difficulties.</div>
<div>The main one has always been <u>stability</u>.</div>
<div>Firstly, the improvement in the user environment going
from 5.3.x to 5.4.x has been immense.</div>
<div>However, none of the versions I have downloaded have been
stable – scilab has always bombed out when I was modifying
an xcos file or indeed an xcos subsystem has corrupted the
simulation and, again, crashed scilab.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I briefly tried the most up-to-date 5.4 version yesterday
(nightly build) - but it had no help files – while 5.4 beta
3 suffered the 5-10 minute drop-out.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>This is frustrating as there is so much potential in the
package – particularly in how it links in so many
user-contributed toolboxes.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Whilst the above may sound negative, believe me, it is
not intended to be – I think this package is going to take
Simulation tools to an interesting place !</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I have 2 questions today:</div>
<ol style="margin-top: 0pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-left:
54pt; " type="i">
<li>Have you an idea as to when v5.4 will reach the end of
the present development phase and be bug-free?</li>
<li>Is the long-term plan to hand over/sell Scilab to a
Corporate player, introducing a pricing strategy?<br>
(This would be a concern from my perspective as the
Open-Architecture and Freeware nature of the package to
date is a real attraction to the Student/Hobby fraternity
– possibly encouraging people to enter the field of
Engineering down the line).</li>
</ol>
<div> </div>
<div>Best of luck with the on-going development and I hope to
hear from you soon,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Patrick</div>
