Stand-Alone Editor No Longer Provided
The MATLAB stand-alone Editor (meditor.exe) is no longer provided. Instead of the
stand-alone Editor, you can use the MATLAB Editor.
Compatibility Considerations
Some users have preferred the stand-alone Editor to the MATLAB Editor because of
slightly better startup performance and because it does not require a MATLAB software
license. For those situations, you can use any text editor you have, such as UltraEdit or
Emacs.
Run/Continue Button Now Two Separate Buttons
The Continue button is now separate from the Run button. Previously, the Run button
served as both the Run and Continue button.
