MATLAB: Intlinprog does not retun integer solution

intlinprog

I'se setup a problem for intlinprog, solutions are constrained to be binary:
lb =
       0     0     0     0     0     0     0     0     0
ub =
       1     1     1     1     1     1     1     1     1
However this is what I get when I run intlingprog:
LP:                Optimal objective value is 6.000000.                                             
Optimal solution found.
Intlinprog stopped at the root node because the objective value is within a gap tolerance of the optimal value,
options.TolGapAbs = 0 (the default value). The intcon variables are integer within tolerance,
options.TolInteger = 1e-05 (the default value).
ans =
      0.5000    0.5000         0         0    0.5000    0.5000         0         0         0
Which is clearly a not integer solution within the tollerance.
What am I missing?

Yes, the INTCON parameter is very important to constrain the value of the variables to be integer. It does NOT mean the number of integer, but means the integer constraints. I made the same mistake.
See what it is explained:
intcon — Vector of integer constraints vector of integers Vector of integer constraints, specified as a vector of positive integers. The values in intcon indicate the components of the decision variable x that are integer-valued. intcon has values from 1 through numel(f).
intcon can also be an array. Internally, intlinprog converts an array intcon to the vector intcon(:).
Example: intcon = [1,2,7] means x(1), x(2), and x(7) take only integer values.
