• If you have been using the -nojvm startup option because of memory or performance
benefits, look for other ways to gain those improvements when you start MATLAB
without the -nojvm option. See the Performance and Memory Usage topics in the
MATLAB Programming Fundamentals documentation.
• If you want to continue to use the -nojvm startup option, remove the code that is now
producing the warnings.
Changes to matlab Memory Manager Startup Options
The matlab command line arguments -memmgr and -check_malloc are deprecated
and will be removed in a future release. The environment variable MATLAB_MEM_MGR is
also deprecated and will be removed. For information about these options, see matlab
(Windows) or matlab (UNIX).
Compatibility Considerations
If you use these options, MATLAB generates a warning message.

New features and changes introduced in Version 7.7 (R2008b) are:
• “New Default Layout for Desktop” on page 17-5
• “Closing Document Windows Using Middle Mouse Button” on page 17-5
• “Preferences Opens to Last Pane Used” on page 17-6

New Default Layout for Desktop
There is a new desktop layout when you select Desktop > Desktop Layout > Default.
It includes the same components as the previous default desktop layout, however, they
are arranged differently. If you prefer the previous default layout, arrange your desktop
in that way and save the layout. You then can reuse the saved layout at any time.
Closing Document Windows Using Middle Mouse Button
If you have multiple documents open, you can now close a document by clicking the
middle mouse button when the pointer is in the document's button on the document bar.
