Branch(es) to support previous releases of The MathWorks toolchain #39

Dr. Fossen,

Thanks for the repository.

FYI, I used portions of this over 10 years ago and am thrilled to see it is still actively being developed!

I have some project needs that require prior release (i.e., r2015a, r2018b, etc.).

FWIW, I have written scripts to search the directory structure, identify mdl/slx models/libraries, do a load/save as, etc.

If it will be of use, I can provide some scripts for you. We can iterate as necessary to get to a point where a clean checkout of a branch works for my purposes (e.g., r2015a, r2018b) and that should give some assurances that other TMW release branches should be easy to facilitate.

With gratitude.

Backward compatibility is always an issue. Are there specific Simulink files or m-files that you need? Converting all the Simulink code to an old Matlab version might be time-consuming. Notice that In the Simulink Editor, you can select "Save > Previous Version" on the Simulation tab. Most m-files will probably work out of the box.

Dr. Fossen,

Apologies for not responding sooner.

I've attached an m-script (saved as text) that should work or be very close to providing automated support for prior releases to whatever level The MathWorks supports slupdate()...

If you can make a branch for R2021b, that would be appreciated. If there are any issues w/the script, I'll be happy to assist in updating it to R2023.
