New features and changes introduced in this version are:
Support has been added for the Microsoft Platform SDK Compiler. See System Requirements in the MATLAB® Compiler User's Guide documentation for more details.
Project files can now be enabled for use with other computers since project files now use relative paths. See Using Relative Paths with Project Files in the MATLAB Compiler User's Guide documentation for more details.
In past releases, you needed to include MCRInstaller.zip in your packaged application (created by running the buildmcr command). Now you must run the following files, which trigger self-extracting archives, that replace the functionality previously provided by MCRInstaller.zip. These files ship with MATLAB Compiler:
| Platform | File Replacing MCRInstaller.zip |
|---|---|
| Windows | MCRInstaller.exe |
| UNIX (Except for Mac) | MCRInstaller.bin |
| Mac | MCRInstaller.dmg |
Since there is no longer a need to create MCRInstaller.zip, buildmcr is no longer supported.
Type mcr or mcrinstaller at the MATLAB command prompt for a list of all available MCR installers, compatible platforms, version numbers, and other information. In addition, typing help mcr or help mcrinstaller at the command prompt will provide further details and assistance.
See Installing the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) for more information.
As of R2007b, you can address MWArrays above the 2 GB limit. This is enabled by defining MX_COMPAT_32_OFF in your mbuild step. This feature will be the default as of R2008a.
This feature changes how the MWArray C++ Library functions are implemented. For more details, see "Addressing mwArrays Above the 2 GB Limit" in the MATLAB Compiler User's Guide documentation.
This new mcc option suppresses the appearance of the MS-DOS command window when generating a standalone application. Use -e in place of the -m option. See -e Suppress MS-DOS Command Window in the MATLAB Compiler User's Guide documentation.
Borland compilers are supported in Version 7.5 (R2007b), but will not be supported in a future version of MATLAB. Please prepare and plan accordingly.
The following functions were removed in R2007b:
| Function Being Removed | What Happens When You Run the Function? | Use This Instead | Compatibility Considerations |
|---|---|---|---|
| buildmcr | Errors | MCRInstaller.exe (Windows), MCRInstaller.bin (UNIX), MCRInstaller.dmg (Mac) | See Installing the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR) in the MATLAB Compiler User's Guide documentation. |
| comtool | Undefined Function Error | deploytool | Migrate to deploytool. |
| dotnettool | Undefined Function Error | deploytool | Migrate to deploytool. |
| mxltool | Undefined Function Error | deploytool | Migrate to deploytool. |
| opennbl | Undefined Function Error | deploytool | Migrate to deploytool. |
| openmxl | Undefined Function Error | deploytool | Migrate to deploytool. |
| opencbl | Undefined Function Error | deploytool | Migrate to deploytool. |
