Re: [Scilab-Dev] Switch to use Markdown for CHANGES

Hello Clément,

Le 09/06/2016 19:08, Clément David a écrit :

Dear Scilab contributors,

For the (near to be released) beta-2, I updated the CHANGES files to use the 
Markdown format [1].
The idea is to be able to generate some document (html and pdf) from it in a 
semi-automatic way.
Another point would be to have it nicely formatted on hosting platforms 
(github/gitlab) that render
markdown on the fly.

What do you think about that ? It is currently not clear to me if we should add 
an empty line
between each `*` and if we should use set bugzilla URLs.

[1]: https://codereview.scilab.org/#/c/18222

Thanks for your remark,

PS: for the beta-2, we will probably push it but any modification is possible 
for the stable
release.


My feeling and suggestions are the following:

 * a formated output is certainly better than a simple-text one :)
 * I found the former Scilab releases notes very smart. The
   presentation on 2 columns was smart and welcome. It allows using a
   smaller font, to get more compact but still very readable notes.
 * A sans-serif font is always more readable. Arial is nice.
 * An hypertext output is nice also (or mainly) because it allows
   hyperlinks, including ones targeting bugzilla. However, any
   text-decoration should be avoided: underlining decrease links
   readability.

 * To avoid heaviness of the bug lists, heading dots may be removed.

 * In CHANGES,
     o In the final HTML rendering of the bugs lists, i find that
       Pierre-Aimé proposal to remove "fixed" is indeed better.
     o short references to bugzilla should be preferred to leave more
       space to the bug description:
       http://bugzilla.scilab.org/2104    instead    of
       http://bugzilla.scilab.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2104
     o Without what you call "markdown", i definitely preferred noting
       functions with parentheses like in "linespace()" instead of only
       "linespace". The purpose was to highlight Scilab reserved words
       wrt to common words in a sentence. However, if quoting markdown
       are used, i think that parentheses are no longer required: They
       would now make notations heavier than required. So i propose to
       not use them in forthcoming CHANGES.

 * For compactness, i definitely prefer avoiding any \n after each `*` item
 * For the same reason, i think that any sublist having only one term
   per line shall be avoided. An inline list shall be preferred. For
   instance,
     o Symbolic module functions have been removed:
         + |addf()|
         + |cmb_lin()|
         + |ldivf()|
         + |mulf()|
         + |rdivf()|
         + |solve()|
         + |subf()|
         + |trianfml()|
         + |trisolve()|
         + |block2exp()|
       |looks useless. I would prefer much more simply|
     o

       Symbolic module functions have been removed:||addf|, |cmb_lin|,
       |ldivf|, |mulf|, |rdivf|, |solve|, |subf|, |trianfml|,
       |trisolve|, block2exp|

 * As well,
     o

       Functions based on former Scilab stack have been removed:

         + |comp()|
         + |errcatch()|
         + |iserror()|
         + |fun2string()|
         + |getvariablesonstack()|
         + |gstacksize()|
         + |macr2lst()|
         + |stacksize()|
         + |code2str()|
         + |str2code()|
         + |-mem| launching option (used to set |stacksize()| at startup).

       could be abstracted in
     o

       Functions based on former Scilab stack have been removed:||||

         +

           |||comp, ||errcatch,||iserror||,
           fun2string,||getvariablesonstack, ||gstacksize, ||macr2lst,
           ||stacksize, ||code2str, ||str2code|||

         +

           |-mem| launching option (used to set |stacksize()| at startup).

I have implemented some of these suggestions in the attached CHANGES.html:

 * in <head><style>:
         a:link { text-decoration: none; font-weight: bold;}
          body { font-family:"arial"; font-size:11px }
          ul { page-break-before:avoid; }   /* not enough to actually
   avoid page breaks at bad places. A pity.  */
          h2 { page-break-after:avoid; }     /* .... */
          h3 { page-break-after:avoid; }     /* .... */

 * The list of bugs on 6.0.06beta2 release is encapsulated in
   <div style="column-count:2; -moz-column-count:2;
   -webkit-column-count:32 ">
   <ul style="list-style-type: none;">
   ...
   </ul>
   </div>
 * The second list is left as is for comparison.
I don't know if such options could be implemented if you think they could improve the output.
I was expecting other contributions before / instead spending my night to write to you here.
But apparently, considerations about subtracted uniform distributions are much more efficient to awake everybody on Scilab mailing lists. Next time, you shall introduce your call-for-comments with something about maths :)) 

Good night

Welcome to Scilab 6.0.0 beta-2

This file details the changes between Scilab 6.0.0-beta-2, this release, and the previous release 5.5.2. For changelogs with earlier release, please see Scilab 5.5.2.

This file is intended for the specific needs of advanced users, and describes:

  • New and modified features, in each module,
  • Changes in functions (removed/added/modified),
  • Changes in the language,
  • Bug fixes.

This changelog is most likely incomplete, as an enormous amount of code has changed between 5.5.2 and 6. Please report any thing we could have missed, on the mailing lists or on the bug tracker, and we will correct it before the final Scilab 6.0.0 release.

Main new features

  • stdev(x, dir>ndims(x)) now yields an error instead of returning zeros(x)
  • write(): Writing string or string matrix in a file does not add blank space before each value

Help pages:

Data Structures

  • cells and structs are now native types, hence improving performances.
  • cells:
    • insertion and extraction must be done via () or {}.
    • .dims and .entries fields have been removed, please use size and () instead.
  • struct
    • .dims field has been removed, please use size instead.
  • hypermatrix:
    • hypermatrices are natively managed (without mlist overloading).
    • typeof function now returns real type like constant, string, ... instead of hypermat
    • type function returns real type like 1, 10, ... instead of 17 (mlist).
    • .dims and .entries fields have been removed, please use size and () instead.

Xcos

  • Major rewrite of the data structures, huge models should load and save faster. The memory usage on diagram edition is also slightly reduced.
  • Implicit fixed-size step ODE solver added: Crank-Nicolson 2(3). Added to the CVode package, it also benefits from the CVode rootfinding feature.

API modification

A new set of C APIs to write C or C++ extensions (toolboxes) to Scilab. It allows defining native functions (commonly called "gateways"), getting input parameters for such functions, setting return parameters, accessing local variables, using common helper functions for accessing environment information (such as warning level), generate errors... It also includes ways to overload existing Scilab functions to support additional parameter types (see help scilab_overload). Finally, you can call back Scilab functions (macros and built-in functions) from your gateway (see help scilab_call).

User-defined functions written in C or C++ (gateways) must now use a void* pvApiCtx name as a second parameter instead of any unsigned long l. This is now required for some macros, such as Rhs(), to work.

For example: use int sci_Levkov(char *fname, void* pvApiCtx) instead of int sci_Levkov(char *fname) or int sci_Levkov(char *fname, unsigned long l).

Obsolete functions or features

  • maxfiles() is now obsolete.
  • isoview(xmin,xmax,ymin,ymax) is deprecated. Please use isoview("on"), replot(..) instead.
