Compatibility Considerations

Compatibility for Each Product

To see if any known compatibility considerations exist for your product, see

"Release Summary" on page 37. Ifthe table shows that there are compatibility

considerations for any of your products, follow the link to the product's release

notes and refer to the summary table of compatibility considerations. From this

table you can link to details. If you are upgrading from a release before R2006a,

also see the entries in the table for earlier versions.

Compatibility Considerations for Ne^ Functions

and Models

The introduction of new functions and models could cause a conflict with any

of your own M-files, models, and variables having the same names.

Example

If you created a function named Idl in a previous release, it might conflict with

the new MATLAB Idl function (introduced in R2006b). Another conflict that

might arise is when you load a MAT-file that contains a variable named Idl.

To identify and address name conflicts, see these topics in the MATLAB

Programming documentation:

• Don't Use Function Names for Variables

• Naming a Function Uniquely
