<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>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
<div> </div>
