What's new in release 2010a?

From: Øyvind on 25 Feb 2010 04:14 I see that 2010a is available in pre-release, but I cannot find any information about what new features it introduces. Nor am I able to download the pre-release and try it for myself. Since it is now out in the open, can anyone say what's new and/or exciting about this release? More than anything else I'm hoping for a new and revamped graphical system with better gui-building tools. I have heard some rumours for a long time that this was underway, but at 2009b I'm still struggling with its dreadful, primitive stone-age tools. So, any good news?
From: Øyvind on 26 Feb 2010 04:12 So is noone interested in the new release, or is it that one has to sign a non-disclosure agreement before downloading it? I mean, not a single soul is even willing to _speculate_ what's coming? I would have thought the this to be a subject of some interest...

I have heard some rumours for a long time that this was underway, but at 2009b I'm still struggling with its dreadful, primitive stone-age tools. So, any good news? I've been using it for all of 2 or 3 days now. No problems so far, and it is reasonably fast. bench ans = 0.047501 0.090149 0.14269 0.26638 0.38531 0.50896 I like to see the changes to fmincon, fixing some of the problems that people have encountered over the years. The new SQP algorithm: - Honors bounds at all iterations - Attempts a different step if one leads to an objective or constraint function returning a NaN, Inf, or complex result - Fast internal linear algebra for solving quadratic programs The first two bullets are the ones that I care about most. The other thing I am happy to have is the 64 bit version for the Mac OS. I've got one app right now that I am playing with that will benefit greatly from that ability. Other than that, well its only been a couple of days. John

Is there any new syntax, or completely new features in the basic language itself? I mean, does the 'What's new..' section in the documentation have anything 'big'? Oh, and is this version 7.10, or 8.0? -- Øyvind |
