    <p>Hi,</p>
    <p>These problems are now  fixed in version 1.3.1. For the Windows
      version, if the update of libifcoremd.dll is necessary, the
      writeability of SCI/bin is tested in order to run the update
      script with admin rights only if needed.</p>

                              > Thank you for offering these enhanced
                              capabilities in Scilab, fmincon and
                              SciIPOpt. I'm about giving a try in
                              comparison with leastsq(), on dynamic
                              model parameter (~5-10) calibration
                              purpose, based on measurement deviation,
                              as time series (250 to >1000 samples).
                              In general for fmincon and SciIPOpt, may I
                              provide the objective function with inputs
                              argument through the list() syntax like
                              objf=list(myofunction,x,in1,in2,..) ?<br>
                              <br>
                              Yes, you have such an example in the
                              fitting demo ;<br>

                              > I would like to inform you that the
                              fmincon toolbox has been updated<br>
                              > (<a

                              and now includes a major feature:  the
                              Efficient Computation of Sparse Hessian
                              using Coloring algorithm (scicolpack is
                              now a  dependency of fmincon). This
                              feature was missing and now allows fmincon
                              to consider really big problems. A example
                              of such is given in the "minimal surface
                              demo" which compares 3 different
                              approaches of the problem: one with finite
                              differences gradient, and BFGS Hessian,
                              one with exact gradient and BFGS Hessian,
                              and the last with exact gradient and
                              finite differences sparse Hessian. The
                              time factor between the first and the
                              third approchach is around 200 for a 21x21
                              square but you can edit the demo file and
                              increase this value. For a 51x51 square
                              the third approach takes only<br>
                              > 0.45 seconds and is 2500 times
                              faster. For a 101x101 square the first
                              approach takes forever and the third ones
                              takes less than 2 seconds and is still 10
                              times faster than the second one.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > If some of you still use other
                              softwares for large scale optimization,
                              maybe you can now give Scilab a try. If
                              you need a better control on parameters
                              and/or if you are not a former/actual user
                              of Matlab's fmincon, I recommend using
                              directly ipopt (from sci_ipopt toolbox).
                              But the fmincon api is quite easy to use.
                              Don't hesitate to took at the code of the
                              several new demos.<br>
                              ><br>
                              > Don't hesitate to contact me if you
                              have some problems using fmincon of just
                              to say that you are using it with success
