MATLAB 6.1 Release Notes
Upgrading from an Earlier Release
This section describes the upgrade issues involved in moving from MATLAB
6.0 (Release 12.0) to MATLAB 6.1 (Release 12.1).
For information about upgrading from an earlier version than MATLAB 6.0, see the Release Notes for Release 12.
This section about upgrading from an earlier release is organized into the following subsections:
• “Development Environment Issues” on page 2-26
• “Mathematics Issues” on page 2-27
• “Programming and Data Types Issues” on page 2-28
• “Graphics Issue” on page 2-29
• “External Interfaces/API Issues” on page 2-30
Development Environment Issues subscribe Function No Longer Supported
The subscribe function is no longer supported.
Command History, Preferences, and Favorites
If you uninstall Release 12.0, you will lose the Command History, preferences, and Help browser favorites from Release 12.0. For instructions to maintain
these files when uninstalling Release 12.0, see “Maintaining Preference Files
After Uninstalling” in Chapter 1 of the Release Notes.
Help Browser Favorites
If you use favorites you created for the documentation in the Release 12.0 Help browser, those favorites may point to an incorrect or invalid location in Release
12.1. You will need to delete any invalid favorites and add those favorites again.
