I have a many-many-MANY months*hours working time soft that works up till R2008a.
Now R2008b simply says things like this

Warning: Calling MEX-file 'C:\SVN\mironeWC\lib_mex\set_gmt.dll'.
MEX-files with .dll extensions will not execute in a future version of MATLAB. 
Warning: Calling MEX-file 'C:\SVN\mironeWC\mexnc.dll'.
MEX-files with .dll extensions will not execute in a future version of MATLAB.

and the program doesn't work anymore (no more or less, it just crashes).
No future, just right now.

ARE DLLs DEMONIC?

SORRY BUT THAT WAS THE LAST DROP IN THE POOL (NOT THE GLASS).
NO MORE PATIENCE TO THE TMW NOTION OF BACK/FORTH COMPATIBILITY

I'M REALLY, BUT REALLY, PISSED OFF WITH TWM NOTION OF BACKWARD COMPATIBILITY

I ALSO REMOVED ALL MY CONTRIBUTIONS FROM THE FEX
