A New Partner External Module
CelestLab, library of space mechanics developed by the CNES becomes a Scilab Partner external module
 
I studied automation and computing science at the Technical University of Cluj-Napoca, Romania, altdough they don't teach scilab, i learned it and grown to like it verry much. In my opinion it is much better than matlab because, for instance, polynomials are idendified by variable not only vectors. Thank you verry much for your devotion and acheivements. Programs like scilab and geda make it posible for profesionals, students and amateurs furfill their projects indiferent of their material posibilities. With respect, Nagy Andrei

New trends around Scilab
Scilab/Scicos code generator for Flex and Xenomai
The Scilab/Scicos FLEX Toolbox (available for Scilab 4.1.2) integrates Scilab/Scicos together with small microcontrolers. More than 100 blocks are available for automatic code generation, including math, sensors, and actuators blocks. Communication blocks using USB and 802.15.4 (Zigbee) are also available for data acquisition and logging with standard PC hardware. A Xenomai port is also available, with an integration together with CANOpen.

This work has been done by Evidence (Italy) in collaboration with Simone Mannori (INRIA Roquencourt, Fr) and Roberto Bucher (SUPSI Lugano, Ch).
Accelerate Scilab with ProActive Parallel Suite:
Parallel Computations on Multi-Cores, Desktops, Clusters & Clouds

ProActive seamlessly allows to execute Scilab applications in parallel on all types of infrastructures. Execute today on a set of desktop machines, tomorrow on enterprise servers, and in the future on external Clouds, without changing your code.

ProActive handles heterogeneous Resource Management (Linux, Windows, MacOS), scheduling with fault-tolerance, together with Graphical User Interface.
Scilab used in Eurocodes
The French Ministry of Ecology, Sustainable Development and Town and Country Planning advises, for research departments and for public construction & building sector, to employ Scilab to get used to the Eurocodes.

Scilab toolboxes
Scilab is an open source software. There are many ways to contribute to Scilab, and users are invited to share their experience of Scilab by submitting their own functions, toolboxes, documentation, user guides, translations etc. Your contribution to Scilab is welcome.
See the dedicated web pages.
Scilab is involved in the NMC to contribute establishing an open mathematical semantics standard for numerical algorithm development and reuse.
