Scilab 5.1 released
A new version of Scilab was released a few days ago. Scilab is a free piece of software for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X that allows you to do the kind of numerical calculations that you might otherwise perform with something like MATLAB or Octave.
Version 5.1 is essentially a bug-fix release as far as I can tell – click here for the change-log release notes.
I’d be interested in hearing any user-stories or thoughts concerning Scilab so if you have anything to add then please drop me a comment.
Update: Thanks to Sylvestre in the comments section I can tell you thatthe change log is really here and there is a lot more to this release than I originally thought. Sorry about that – looks like I haven’t fully shaken off the brain-addling effects of my cold.
The actual changelog is this one:
