    I was waiting for a more stable version of Scilab before investing time in Scipad in that environment.

    Nevertheless, since you asked:

    1. Bottom line is: I plan to support Scipad under Scilab 6, yes.

    2. There should be no change in Scipad functionality whether it runs inside Scilab-6 or Scilab-5 environment. This should be understood as: what was working in Scilab-5 should still work, and what was not working (the debugger) will still not.

    3. Quick practical try: Following the installation instructions for Scilab-5 environment, I have installed Scipad in Scilab-6.0.0-beta-2 (x64) under Vista. Within a 2 minutes running test it seems to work as it does in Scilab-5.5.2. Please note however that this was a very very quick try with no intent to test thoroughly. If you find issues with Scipad in Scilab 6 I would be interested to know about them, so please report (thanks!).

    Dear Francois,
    I am installing Scipad 8.75 in scilab 6.0.1. I get the below error. Kindly advice.

    atomsInstall(E:\12 C scilab install\scipad_7.2.1_5.5-1.bin.zip+"/scipad-"+scipver+"-Scilab5.zip");
    ^^
    Error: syntax error, unexpected \

    then I tried removingE:\ as below.

    atomsInstall(12 C scilab install\scipad_7.2.1_5.5-1.bin.zip"+/scipad-"+scipver+"-Scilab5.zip");
    ^^
    Error: syntax error, unexpected identifier, expecting "," or )

    Thanks in advance.

    regards
    Tamilselvan K

      Sorry for the delay, it appears that I don't receive SF notifications that should be sent when a new message comes in here.

      Your problem is that you didn't quote the directory path correctly. Try:

      atomsInstall("E:\12 C scilab install"+"/scipad-"+scipver+"-Scilab5.zip");
      

      Let me know how the installation instructions I have placed in the wiki here could be improved:

      https://sourceforge.net/p/scipad/wiki/Installation/

      For the records, I have just tried to install Scipad-8.75 in Scilab-6.0.2 on Windows Vista and it works fine.

      There is only some deprecation warnings (that didn't show up in Scilab-6.0.0-beta-2). They are harmless (Scipad will work anyway), but they are annoyingly filling the console at Scipad startup. I'll try to fix this.

      For my own records, I'm pasting the (slightly edited) warnings here:

      ATTENTION : tbx_build_loader: tbx_build_loader(name, path) is obsolete. Please use tbx_build_loader(path) instead.
      ATTENTION : tbx_build_cleaner: tbx_build_cleaner(name, path) is obsolete. Please use tbx_build_cleaner(path) instead.
      ATTENTION : La fonctionnalité with_tk est obsolète.
      ATTENTION : Veuillez utiliser with_module('tclsci') à la place.
      ATTENTION : Cette fonctionnalité va être définitivement supprimée dans Scilab 6.1
      ATTENTION : La fonctionnalité eval est obsolète.
      ATTENTION : Veuillez utiliser evstr() à la place.
      ATTENTION : Cette fonctionnalité va être définitivement supprimée dans Scilab 6.1
      

      (Especially the latter, i.e. the warning about 'eval' is output in large amounts on the console)

        I have now released Scipad-8.76, adjusted to Scilab-6 (no deprecation warnings anymore), and have checked that it installs and runs on Windows Vista in Scilab-6.0.2, Scilab-5.5.2 or Scicoslab-4.2.

        Please report any problems you could encounter.

        Enjoy!

      please find the error message in PDF.

        Thank you. Would you be so kind to post a complete snapshot, without any truncation?

        Moreover, can you provide the file that Scipad tries to read when the error happens? It is named ".SciPadPreferences.tcl" and is located in the directory shown in the error window.

        To try to work around this problem, please delete the file and start Scipad again.

    Thank you for the new release. I installed in my system -windows 2010.
    I used scilab 6.0.2 and the error messages are attached. On clicking ok, proceeding the editor is opened. on typing 3 lines say a=1, b=2, c=a+b and clicking on load to scilab, the editor hangs.

    I tried athe same in scilab 5.5.2
    Only the first message came. I am able to load the code lines to scilab . However insert / remove breakpoint is not working
    Kindly advice,
    Thank you once again.

      Thank you for your feedback.

      Could you please provide the error messages in clear text format instead of this Microsoft Word format (I can't read this on the platform I'm using right now)?

      I have just tried installing Scipad-8.76 in Scilab-6.0.2 under Vista again (as I did before), and indeed I'm seeing an error message at Scipad startup:

      SSL channel "sock2220": error: tlsv1 alert protocol version
      

      I'm sure this didn't happen when I tested in August this year. I'll investigate what this means and why it is now happening. It is happening both in Scilab-6.0.2 and in Scilab-5.5.2.

      Also I can reproduce the hang upon "Load into Scilab". This feature I perhaps did not try when I released scipad-8.76. I will investigate this issue. It is happening in Scila-6.0.2 but NOT in Scilab-5.5.2.

      Finally, the debugger cannot work in Scilab-5 or Scilab-6. See:
      https://sourceforge.net/p/scipad/tickets/2/
      and references therein.
      If you would like to use the debugger, the only way is to use Scicoslab:

        See ticket #16 where I discuss the error message "tlsv1 alert protocol version". Revision 795 has the fix.

        See ticket #17 where I discuss the hang with "Load into Scilab", with Scilab-6 only.
