R2008b

With empty matrices returned, code you write to use the results of dir can be simpler

and more robust. For more information, see the reference page for the dir function.

Compatibility Considerations

In previous versions, dir returned inappropriate values for files that could not be

queried:

r(n) =

name: 'my_file'

date: '18-Jan-2038 22:14:07'

bytes: 0

isdir: 0

datenum: 7.4438e+05

If you have existing files that rely on the results of dir for a file that could not be

queried, your code might not produce the result it used to. If you write new code that

depends on the new results for dir and run it in a previous version of MATLAB, it might

not produce the results you expect. In either case, there will probably not be a warning or

error.

Workspace Browser Toolbar Is Now Configurable

Rearrange, add, or remove buttons and other controls from the Workspace Browser

toolbar using File > Preferences > Toolbars. Alternatively, right-click the toolbar

and select Customize from the context menu. By default, the Print button is not on the

toolbar.

For more information on customizing the toolbar, see Toolbar Customization.

Semicolon (;) Path Separator Character Now Used on UNIX Platforms

On UNIX platforms, MATLAB now uses a semicolon (;) as the character that separates

directories in the search path file, pathdef.m, which is the character used on Windows

platforms. This is beneficial if you work with the contents of the pathdef.m file

programmatically on both Windows and UNIX platforms. In versions prior to Version

7.7 (R2008b), MATLAB used the colon (:) character as the path separator on UNIX

platforms.

Compatibility Considerations

MATLAB will continue to accept the colon (:) character as a valid path separator on

UNIX platforms, so any existing code you have that relies on it will still work.
