Product changes since MATLAB 5.2 -------------------------------- 1.1 Release naming -------------- The release name is designated by a string that starts with a 'R' instead of the MATLAB version. This means that each MathWorks product has an associated release name with it. 1.2 New products ------------ Name Version Real-Time Workshop Ada Coder 3.0 (R11) MATLAB Web Server 1.0 (R11) MATLAB Report Generator 1.0 (R11) Simulink Report Generator 1.0 (R11) Dials and Gauges Blockset 1.0 (R11) MATLAB Runtime 5.3* (R11) * updated product but now part of standard distribution 1.3 Updated products ---------------- Name Version MATLAB 5.3 (R11) MATLAB Tour 1.2 (R11) Simulink 3.0 (R11) SystemBuild to Simulink 2.0 (R11) Control Toolbox 4.2 (R11) System Identification Toolbox 4.0.5 (R11) Robust Control Toolbox 2.0.6 (R11) Optimization Toolbox 2.0 (R11) Spline Toolbox 2.0.1 (R11) Signal Toolbox 4.2 (R11) Mu Synthesis Toolbox 3.0.4 (R11) Mapping Toolbox 1.1 (R11) Neural Network Toolbox 3.0.1 (R11) Real-Time Workshop 3.0.0 (R11) Symbolic Toolbox 2.1 (R11) Extended Symbolic Toolbox 2.1 (R11) Image Processing Toolbox 2.2 (R11) NCD Toolbox 1.1.3 (R11) Statistics Toolbox 2.2 (R11) Hi Spec Toolbox 2.0.3 (R11) Frequency Domain ID Toolbox 2.0.3* (R11) MPC Toolbox 1.0.4 (R11) Fuzzy Logic Toolbox 2.0.1 (R11) DSP Blockset 3.0 (R11) Fixed-Point Blockset 2.0 (R11) NAG Foundation Toolbox 1.0.3 (R11) MATLAB Compiler 1.2.1 + 2.0 beta 1 (R11) LMI Control Toolbox 1.0.5 (R11) Financial Toolbox 2.0.1 (R11) Wavelet_Toolbox 1.2 (R11) Communication Toolbox 1.4 (R11) C++ Math Library 1.2.1 (R11) Stateflow 2.0 (R11) Stateflow Coder 2.0 (R11) Power System Blockset 1.1 (R11) * No version change, i.e. very minor changes Note: 1. The MATLAB Tour is considered part of MATLAB and is not separately licensed. It can be deselected in a CD-ROM installation. It is part of the file, matlab.common, in a FTP installation. 2. The SystemBuild to Simulink Translator is considered part of Simulink and is not separately licensed. It can be deselected in a CD-ROM installation. It is part of the files tbx.simulink.common and ARCH/tbx.simulink.ARCH in a FTP installation. 1.4 Unchanged products ------------------ Name Version QFT Toolbox 1.0.3 (R11) PDE Toolbox 1.0.3 (R11) Applix Link 1.0.2 (R11) 1.5 Dropped products ---------------- Math Library Use C++ Math Library. 1.6 Products with unsupported architectures --------------------------------------- Name Unsupported architectures Symbolic Toolbox sgi64* Extended Symbolic Toolbox sgi64* NAG Foundation Toolbox hp700 ibm_rs lnx86 Applix Link sgi64 lnx86 MATLAB Web Server hp700 alpha ibm_rs sgi sgi64 lnx86 *Use sgi version on sgi64. See section 5.2.2 in the Appendix of the UNIX News file for MATLAB 5.1 (README.news51) for details. 2. Architecture support changes ---------------------------- MATLAB was 'stabilized' on the sun4 (Sun Sparc SunOS 4) platform with MATLAB 5.2. There is no support on the sun4 for MATLAB R11 and future versions of MATLAB. 3. Changes to operating system build list since MATLAB 5.2 ------------------------------------------------------- There are two changes in the table below since MATLAB 5.2. Platform Build OS version -------- ---------------- Sun Sparc (sol2) Solaris 2.5.1 HP 9000 PA-RISC (hp700) HP-UX 10.20 DEC Alpha (alpha) Digital UNIX 4.0D* IBM RS/6000 (ibm_rs) AIX 4.2 Silicon Graphics (sgi) IRIX 6.3 Silicon Graphics (sgi64) IRIX64 6.4 Linux (lnx86) Linux 2.0.34* * changed since MATLAB 5.2 See section 2. in the Appendix of the UNIX News file for MATLAB 5.1 (README.news51) and MATLAB 5.0 (README.news50) for additional details about OS version checking. 4. Operating System patch requirements ----------------------------------- A patch list is under development. 5. Install MATLAB R11 over MATLAB 5.x ---------------------------------- If you already have MATLAB 5.0 or MATLAB 5.1 or MATLAB 5.2, it is recommended that you install MATLAB R11 over that version. Obsolete files will be removed. IMPORTANT: Do not install MATLAB R11 over an older version if you need to preserve MATLAB on the sun4. Sun4 specific files for MATLAB 5.2 or earlier will be considered obsolete and will be removed. The updating process uses file lists in the $MATLAB/update/pd directory saved from installing an earlier version of MATLAB. If those have been removed or damaged then the removal of obsolete files will be incomplete. NEVER install MATLAB R11 over any MATLAB 4.x or earlier MATLAB version. DO NOT install MATLAB R11 over any MATLAB 5.x alpha or beta release, ONLY over the official MATLAB 5.x release. Scripts that are configurable by the user such as $MATLAB/bin/.matlab5rc.sh will be updated. See section 3. in the Appendix of the UNIX News file for MATLAB 5.1 (README.news51) for details about the update procedure. 6. License manager changes ----------------------- 6.1 license files use just INCREMENT lines -------------------------------------- All new license files provided by the MathWorks now have only INCREMENT lines. 6.2 port@host support in .matlab5rc.sh file --------------------------------------- The factory setting for LM_LICENSE_FILE in the file, $MATLAB/bin/.matlab5rc.sh, has been returned to: LM_LICENSE_FILE='$MATLAB/etc/license.dat' under each architecture section. It was: LM_LICENSE_FILE='1700@BOGUS:$MATLAB/etc/license.dat' in MATLAB 5.2. The existence of 1700@BOGUS caused serious delays on startup of MATLAB on some customer networks. To add port@host follow the directions in the file under each architecture section. If you are using redundant servers, use a colon separated list of three port@host values. 7. Comments about operating system and tool requirements ----------------------------------------------------- 7.1 hp700 (HP-UX) ------------- 7.1.1 Loader needed by MATLAB ----------------------- MATLAB requires the C++ loader: /usr/lib/aCC/dld.sl be installed on each machine running MATLAB. Otherwise, MATLAB will not start. This is detected in the MATLAB startup script. The installation instructions, README, and the loader file are located in: $MATLAB/sys/os/hp700/mipc 8. System libraries shipped in the $MATLAB/sys/os directory and ------------------------------------------------------------ used by MATLAB -------------- sol2: sys/os/sol2/libF77.so.3 sys/os/sol2/libM77.so.2 sys/os/sol2/libsunmath.so.1 hp700: sys/os/hp700/libCsup.1 sys/os/hp700/libstd.1 sys/os/hp700/libstream.1 sgi: sys/os/sgi/libaudio.so.1 sgi64: sys/os/sgi64/libcomplib.sgimath_mp.so sys/os/sgi64/libaudio.so.1 lnx86: sys/os/lnx86/libXpm.so.4.9 sys/os/lnx86/libc.so.5.4.38 sys/os/lnx86/libg++.so.27.2.8 sys/os/lnx86/libm.so.5.0.9 sys/os/lnx86/libstdc++.so.27.2.8 9. CD-ROM installation ------------------- 9.1 Two CD-ROM's shipped with UNIX ------------------------------ Two CD-ROM's are shipped with the UNIX distribution. One CD-ROM holds just program files for all products and the other holds the documentation files for all products. The CD-ROMS are independent and the order in which you install files from them does not not matter. 10.
