ANNOUNCE: Scipad version 8.75
=============================

A new version of the Scipad text editor for Scilab and Scicoslab is available.


CHANGES SINCE PREVIOUS VERSION
==============================

FIXED BUGS:

* Fixed Tcl error that popped out when closing Scipad opened in Scicoslab
   whereas Scipad did not have the focus

 * Fixed preferences file write issues with non-initialized variables,
   which was leading to several issues at Scipad startup (window position
   and opened files restoration restoration missing)


WHAT IS SCIPAD ?
================

Scipad is a powerful editor and graphical debugger for programs written in Scilab language. It is a mature and highly configurable programmer's editor, including features like syntax colorization, regexp search/replace, parentheses matching, logical/physical line numbering, peer windows, line and block text editing, and much more. Scipad can be used along with Scicoslab or Scilab, but even as a standalone text editor. Used as internal Sci(cos)lab editor, it interacts tightly with the interpreter, allowing:

 - Scilab code execution control
 - conditional breakpointing
 - variable retrieval and tooltip display
 - Scilab help lookup
 - access to source code of Scilab library function
 - control of Scilab facilities for Matlab code and creation of
   help documents
 - and much more

Scipad also includes basic Modelica and XML syntax colorization; it is currently localized in 13 languages and further localizations can easily be added. Scipad is entirely written in Tcl/Tk and Scilab language. It has been tested and developed under various versions of Windows and Linux.
