Supported Matlab versions #214

Closed jsosulski closed 5 years ago

jsosulski commented 5 years ago

On the page ToolboxRequirements it states that Matlab versions later than 2007 are supported. I tried updating my Matlab installation from 2014b to 2018b and found that at least one function does no longer work (misc_checkType) as the Matlab function inputname seems to return other outputs than in Matlab 2014b.

As I would guess that checking the whole code for compatibility is a tedious task, it would be easier to just state that Matlab up to 2014b is compatible (or whichever latest version is known to work).

Everything was fine until Matlab 2018a, the version I had on my laptop. Matlab does not care about downwards compatibility, which is a pain for maintaining toolboxes. I fixed the issue with a hack (should be revisited for a nicer solution). Now the demos run again with Matlab 2019a. Sorry for the inconvenience.
