JVM Software Updated for 64-Bit Linux Platforms
The Sun Microsystems JVM software version that MATLAB uses is now version 1.5.0_04
for 64-bit platforms running the Linux operating system from Linus Torvalds.
Desktop
New features and changes introduced in Version 7.2 (R2006a) are described here.
Preferences Reorganized and New Keyboard Pane Added to Support Command Window and
Editor/Debugger
Preferences includes a new pane, Keyboard, for setting key bindings, tab completion,
and delimiter-matching preferences for the Command Window and Editor/Debugger.
Most of these preferences were previously located in the preference panes for the
Command Window or Editor/Debugger.
Compatibility Considerations
You no longer access keyboard and indenting preferences for the Command Window and
Editor/Debugger from the component preferences, but rather from the new Keyboard
preferences. In addition, some preferences that were set separately for these components
are now shared. For details about the changes, see “Keyboard and Indenting Command
Window Preferences Reorganized” on page 22-4, and “Keyboard and Indenting
Editor/Debugger Preferences Reorganized” on page 22-6.
Open All Desktop Tools from Desktop Menu
You can now open (and close) all desktop tools from the Desktop menu. In previous
versions, you could not access document-based tools from the Desktop menu. The
document-based desktop tools are: Editor/Debugger, Figures, Array Editor, and Web
Browser.
Access Login Renamed to MathWorks Account
Use Help > Web Resources > MathWorks Account menu items to go to your
MathWorks Account if you are registered, or to register online. MathWorks Account was
previously called Access Login.
