MATLAB: Kinect V2 iinterface in R2015b

kinect v2

Hey so i just read that MAtlab R2015b has just been released. but before purchasing it, i want to ask if Microsoft Kinect V2 is supported by it. 2015a does not support it.

According to http://www.mathworks.com/help/imaq/installing-the-kinect-for-windows-sensor-support-package.html it requires Connect for Windows 1.6 . If I read other pages correctly then Connect for Windows 2.0 would be required for Kinect v2 support, so my interpretation is that the Mathworks support has not been designed to handle v2.
I also see that Microsoft stopped producing Kinect for Windows v2 as of spring 2015, which leaves me questioning whether Mathworks will ever do v2 support. They might -- it might be someone's pet project.
