Desktop Tools and Development Environment
Desktop
New features and changes introduced in Version 7.12 (R2011a) are:
MATLAB Menus Display at the Top of the Apple Mac Screen
Previously when running on Apple Mac, menus displayed at the top of the MATLAB
desktop. In addition, if a tool was undocked from the desktop, the menu displayed at
the top of that tool. Now, to be consistent with the behavior of most Mac applications,
MATLAB menus display at the top of the Mac screen.

New Location and Archived Content for Product Documentation
The new MathWorks Web site location for product documentation is http://
www.mathworks.com/help/. Accessing the old URL, http://www.mathworks.com/access/
helpdesk/help/helpdesk.html, redirects you the new location.
In addition to all current product documentation, the new location provides archived
product documentation from all releases going back to R13sp2 (including Japanese, when
available). To go to the archive, click the View documentation for other releases link. The
archived release documentation is available only at the MathWorks Web site, and not via
the Help browser.
To view some documentation you must log on to www.mathworks.com with your
MathWorks user name and password. For example, you need to log in to view current
PDF files and documentation from prior releases.
The View > Page Location dialog box in the Help browser now links to documentation
at the MathWorks Web site that accompanies the release you are currently running. For
example, when you run R2011a, the dialog box looks like this.
