This table summarizes what's new in Version 2.5 (R2009a):

New Features and Changes	Version Compatibility Considerations	Fixed Bugs and Known Problems
Yes Details below	No	Bug Reports Includes fixes

New features and changes introduced in this version are:

• Recording Coverage for External MATLAB Files

• API for Customizing Model Advisor Results

• New and Enhanced Model Advisor Checks

• MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board Control Algorithm Modeling Guidelines Using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow Included in Help

Recording Coverage for External MATLAB Files

MATLAB Function blocks and functions can call external program files. The Model Coverage Tool extends the model coverage capabilities to record coverage for these files. By default, this option is disabled; coverage is not collected for external program files.

Enable this option if you want the software to collect and report coverage for all program files associated with the MATLAB Function blocks. To enable this option, in the Coverage Settings dialog box, select Coverage for MATLAB files.

API for Customizing Model Advisor Results

In R2009a, there is a new API to customize the results of the Model Advisor for a common look and feel for all of your customized checks. The API includes templates for you to organize the results in tables or lists. For more information, see Customizing the Model Advisor.

New and Enhanced Model Advisor Checks

The Simulink Model Advisor includes new and updated verification and validation checks.

DO-178B Checks

The DO-178B Check subcategory includes the following new checks:

• Check for blocks that do not link to requirements

• Check usage of Math blocks

For more information, see DO-178B Checks.

IEC 61508 Checks

The checks in the IEC 61508 Checks subfolder are reformatted for a consistent look and feel to the results. For more information, see IEC 61508 and ISO 26262 Checks.

Modeling Standards for MAAB Checks

There is a new Modeling Standards for MAAB subfolder in the By Task folder of the Model Advisor, which includes subfolders that organize the MAAB checks so you can more easily determine which checks you want to run.

MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board Control Algorithm Modeling Guidelines Using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow Included in Help

The MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board (MAAB) involves major automotive original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and suppliers in the process of evolving MathWorks controls, simulation, and code generation products, including the Simulink, Stateflow, and Real-Time Workshop products. An important result of the MAAB has been the "MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board Control Algorithm Modeling Guidelines Using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow." Help for the Simulink Verification and Validation product now includes these guidelines. The MAAB guidelines link to relevant Model Advisor MAAB check help and MAAB check help links to relevant MAAB guidelines.

For more information on the MAAB guidelines, see "MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board Control Algorithm Modeling Guidelines Using MATLAB, Simulink, and Stateflow". For information on the Model Advisor MAAB checks, see "MathWorks Automotive Advisory Board Checks."
