Presentation

Purpose and organization of the "removed" module

Description

The module "removed" is made only of help pages. It aims to gather all former documentation pages of functions that were removed from Scilab since Scilab 4.1.2 (2008). It will be helpful to users aiming to upgrade old Scilab codes, to understand what the function did, and to choose or write the best possible replacement.

Help sections of this package map the Scilab release versions. The page of a function is registered in the section corresponding to the last Scilab version in which the function was available.

If the code of the function is not needed, using "removed" avoids downloading and installing any former Scilab release to access to its documentation page.

Since "removed" indicates the most advanced Scilab version in which a function could be found, it may also help targetting the right version for online archived pages (>= 5.3.0). Sometimes the page was somewhat emptied when the function was deprecated before being removed. In this case, "removed" provides the full page before it was shrunk.

  • Scilab Release notes are not always trustable: They do not always announce all functions removals. In addition, the removal is sometimes actually done after the version for which is was announced with the deprecation.
  • Obviously, none of the original examples given in "removed" pages will actually work on your current up-to-date Scilab session.
  • The slint Scilab code checker available in Scilab 6 may detect occurences of deprecated functions in a given set of .sci files (checking criteria #00022).
You have a found a removed function missing or in the wrong section? Please post your remark or feedback on the removed dedicated ATOMS page, or directly to the author.
