New features and changes introduced in this version are:
The new rng function controls the random number generator used by rand, randi, and randn. For a demonstration, see this instructional video.
rng is the recommended alternative to former rand and randn input syntaxes 'seed', 'state' and 'twister'. rng is a simpler alternative to the RandStream class. To use rng, see the documentation on Updating Your Random Number Generator Syntax.
The new ichol function performs incomplete Cholesky factorization and is the recommended alternative to cholinc.
The new options gammainc(X,A,'scaledlower') and gammainc(X,A,'scaledupper') now return scaled versions of the incomplete gamma function gammainc.
Matrix transpose
Element-wise single precision functions
Sparse matrix indexed assignment
Many linear algebra functions
Convolution for long vectors and large matrices with conv and conv2
In R2010a and R2010b, the upper triangular output R from the full qr function was guaranteed to have real and nonnegative diagonal elements. In this release, the behavior reverts to that of R2009b and prior releases. That is, the diagonal of R may contain complex and negative elements, and will affect the unitary output Q correspondingly.
Since the QR factorization is not unique, these different results are still correct. Ensure that your code does not depend on the values of the elements of the factors Q and R.
| Function Name | What Happens When You Use This Function | Use This Function Instead | Compatibility Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| bessel | Errors | besselj | Replace all instances of bessel with besselj. |
| intwarning | Errors | None | Remove all instances of intwarning from your code. |
| luinc | Warns | ilu | Replace instances of luinc with ilu. |

| All other syntaxes of cholinc except cholinc(X,'inf') | Warns | ichol | Replace these instances of cholinc with ichol. |
| RandnAlg property of RandStream class | Still runs | NormalTransform property of RandStream class | Replace all existing instances of RandnAlg with NormalTransform. |
| setDefaultStream method of RandStream class | Still runs | setGlobalStream method of RandStream class | Replace all existing instances of RandStream.setDefaultStream with RandStream.setGlobalStream. |
| getDefaultStream method of RandStream class | Still runs | getGlobalStream method of RandStream class | Replace all existing instances of RandStream.getDefaultStream with RandStream.getGlobalStream. |
| rand or randn with the 'seed', 'state' or 'twister' inputs | Still runs | rng | See Updating Your Random Number Generator Syntax in the MATLAB Mathematics documentation. |
