IMPROVEMENTS
A warning has been added for 1./x and 1.\x syntax clarification. A new output argument has been added to regexp function to retrieve subpatterns matches.
See SEP # 86.
Console command history is now stored in SCIHOME/history file under all platforms. In Scilab documentation,
'scilab:needs-examples="no"' tag has been added to specify that the help page does not need example.
New xmlName function added to retrieve the name of a XML element. clc(): New icon in the toolbar to clear the console. See Bug # 12049. test_run no longer takes into account skipped tests in the summary. See Bug # 12117.
XCOS
New Flowmeter block in the thermohydraulics palette added to measure a thermohydraulics flow. Palette icons and some blocks rendering improved. xcosPalGenerateAllIcons function added as a Xcos
palette utility function. New ODE solver added LSodar automatically switches methods to efficiently solve both stiff and nonstiff problems. It includes a rootfinding feature. Two new fixed-size step ODE solvers added Dormand-Prince 4(5) and Runge-Kutta 4(5) have been added to the CVode package. They also benefit from the rootfinding feature. Implicit fixed-size stop ODE solver added Implicit Runge-Kutta 4(5) also benefits from the CVode rootfinding feature. Block parameter errors (types and sizes) reporting improved. Some scopes blink on simulation avoided.
Two new commands added: w For SciNotes: scinotes modules/core/macros/whos.sci opens a file. If the file does not exist, SciNotes proposes to create it. scinotes -indent modules/core/macros/whos.sci
allows to indent automatically a Scilab file. w For Xcos: xcos modules/xcos/examples/integral.xcos opens the integral Xcos schema. If the file does not exist, Xcos proposes to create it.
Search is now possible in the console. Shortcut F3 or CTRL+F enables it.
