Compatibility Considerations
• The Help system now requires that custom documentation files reside outside the
matlabroot folder (but on the MATLAB search path). To view any installed custom
documentation, open the Help browser and navigate to the documentation home page.
Then, at the bottom of the page, click Supplemental Software.
• The demo command no longer supports categories of MATLAB or Simulink examples.
• For some products (primarily third-party toolboxes), the demo command requires
different input values to specify the product type or name. The demo command now
identifies each product using its info.xml file rather than its demos.xml file. For
most MathWorks products, the product information is the same in both files.
• In a future release, MathWorks will remove support for demos.m files, an old way
to include demos in the Help browser. For the recommended method, see Display
Custom Examples.
Viewing of multiple documentation pages simultaneously with tabbed
browsing
The Help browser now allows you to open multiple tabs so that you can view more than
one documentation topic at a time. Open a new tab by clicking the New Tab button, ,
or by right-clicking a link.
Suggested corrections for mistyped functions and variables in the
Command Window
Command Window Suggestions for Mistyped Functions and Variables (2 min, 1 sec)
MATLAB can show suggestions in the Command Window for misspelled functions and
variable names. If you enter an undefined function or variable name, MATLAB displays:
Did you mean:
followed by a suggested command at the command line. You can press Enter to execute
that command, or Esc to delete the suggestion.
Full-screen view mode on Mac operating systems
MATLAB can operate in full-screen mode on Mac OS X 10.7 Lion.
