What is the difference between matlab 2010a and 2010b

Depending what functions you are using your code may work perfectly on either, but is it guaranteed? You'd just have to try it. If they were perfectly compatible with each other in all aspects in both directions though you'd have to ask what Mathworks have been doing in those 9 years! Rik on 9 Apr I fully agree with Adam. You can check the release notes for the functions you're using. Especially everything related to the graphics requires attention, due to the introduction of HG2 in Rb.

In general most functions will still work from a in a newer release. Sidenote: Rb isn't released yet. I would expect that to be released somewhere in September or October. The pre-release will of course be available earlier. On another note, it would be a good idea anyway to go over code that old again because there may well be newer functions in Ra that can perform tasks a lot faster than what you may have used in a.

Thank you very much for your answers! I've also asked support and they told me that purchasing a license I can install and activate earlier releases also, so no problem at all! Thanks again! Search Answers Clear Filters. Answers Support MathWorks.

Commented: Rik on 8 Jul Hello guys. I always thought the main difference between versions 'a' and 'b' of MATLAB was 'b' being 6 months "better" than version 'a' and, of course, this means that naturally the version 'b' is going to be a more up-to-date version, with more features as well - being the main intent to have new releases every semester.

However, just the other day a friend of mine claimed something I wasn't able to double-check elsewhere:. But isn't this the story with just any release? Don't you always implement new things and improve things of the past as necessary?

Have someone ever come across these reliability concerns once? Writings in italic are my comments about the claims, and not part of the claim itself. Is someone capable of confirming this? Am I missing something? Star Strider on 7 Apr Cancel Copy to Clipboard. Search Answers Clear Filters. Answers Support MathWorks. Search Support Clear Filters. Support Answers MathWorks.

Wiki: Matlab contains an exhaustive list, but what about having a lean version directly in the forum? If this is useful, feel free to expand the list and to insert additions. Thank you.

In recent versions it lists the type and size, previous versions just showed the element data without the outermost brackets.

For example, for cell arrays:. Rik on 11 Jul Ra shows the old format, Rb shows the new format. Steven Lord on 11 Jul See this entry in the Release Notes for release Rb for type and size and this entry for release Rb for curly braces around each cell. Answers 2.
