Changes 4.1.2

The Scilab Consortium would like to thank all people who helped us by reporting bugs, submiting patches, fixing bugs, testing...

Please note that the Scilab 4.1.2 is released to update Scicos and Scipad.

New/improved functionalities of Scicos

Windows style editing: basic operations implemented.
Multi-diagram editing: for example copy and paste from any window to any other.
Documentation: fairly complete on-line help and supporting documentation.
Active Scilab prompt: menu activated.
Undo operation: one step per window.
Diagram browser: a much nicer replacement for the old navigator.
From/To workspace blocks: support vector Scilab variables of various types but not matrices.
Palette operations: New Palette browser.
Palettes: enriched Palettes of elementary blocks (Modelica blocks, Matrix operation blocks, Integer operation blocks).
Modelica blocks: on-line Modelica code editing and more.
Inspection of available parameters: available in every window.
Block Masking: create, delete, customize, and save Block GUI.
From/Goto blocks: available in every sub-system.
Block/Diagram data inspection: Details menu.
General data types: vector and matrix of double (real and complex), int8, int16, int32, signed and unsigned, for block input/outputs, discrete states and parameters.

Use of the numerical solvers of SUNDIALS.
Support for extended data types.
Improved error message handling.
Scope graphics based on Scilab's new graphics library: possible to edit simulation results a posteriori.

A lot (really a lot!) of bugs were corrected (see SCI/tcl/scipadsources/changelog.txt for full details)
Step-by-step debugging available, with step into, step over, and step out
Debugging of .sce scripts
Scilab errors trapping during the debug
Automatic watch of variables and evaluation of arbitrary expressions during debug
Column mode block selection, cut/copy/paste/drag\'n\'drop
Performance improvements in many areas, especially in colorizing files
Robustness of the Scilab/Scipad interface increased
Many small improvements in Find/Replace
Overall look and feel and ergonomics improved (bindings, shortcuts, localization dependent widgets sizes, better information displayed in the watch window, underlined numbers in the Windows menu, watch window docking, sorting in the Windows menu, smart indentation, more tooltips, horizontal scrollbars hide automatically, optional line numbers sidebar...)
Tcl/Tk 8.5 is used by Scipad if available, providing peer text widgets, hence the capability to display different parts of the same file at one time
