I think this is a perfectly fine answer. In fact I asked about NDAs earlier, but the replies were mixed, and though some people were obviously joking, others seemed to be answering in earnest. I don't think you can assume that the practice with NDAs is blindingly obvious to everyone.

So no information on r2010a is publicly available as of yet. Okidokey.

I do find that in general there seems to be little discussion of new features in this forum, even after public release. While many, quite understandably, care more about stability, bugs, etc. it's a bit surprising (statistically) that with such a vast userbase there isn't much 'buzz' surrounding 'new stuff'. (As I don't contribute much myself, I'm in no position to complain, it's more of an observation.)

Agreed.

Thanks. Quickly scanned the release notes, and there seem to be mostly minor changes.

Absolutely dreadfully disappointed (as usual) that there is no update to the GUI system. I need to start looking around for something other than Matlab, but the task of learning a new language and porting my project is extremely daunting...

Aargh.

What kinds of changes to the GUI system were you hoping for? What do
you find difficult or impossible now?
