MATLAB: Can I open a file with different versions of Matlab

matlab versions

Hello there, I have this situation: the version of matlab that is used in my university is 2012B, but I recently got the license for 2016B (I think) so I need to know if I can work with both versions over one file, since I will have to use matlab at both locations (house and university) for my assignments in class and all that stuff, Thank you !

In short, Yes, but to varying levels of difficulty.

M-Files are version agnostic, though some commands may be deprecated in the newer releases.

In order to use Simulink files, you will need to be mindful of which version you are using. You can always open an older file in a newer release (i.e. R2016b will open a R2012b Simulink model), but not the other way around (i.e. R2012b will not open a R2016b Simulink model). To be backwards compatible, you will need to make sure you "export" any work done in R2016b to R2012b by going to File >> Export As >> Previous Version.

MATLAB: Are live scripts compatible with previous and later versions of MATLAB

We have carefully designed the format of live scripts to be forward and backwards compatible with releases beyond R2016a. In other words, in the future, you should always be able to use a live script created in R2016a with a newer version of MATLAB (backwards compatibility), and you should always be able to use a live script created in a newer version of MATLAB in an older version (forwards compatibility).

The support for opening live scripts in versions of MATLAB older than R2016a is limited to the following: live scripts will open in R2014b, R2015a, R2015b with the code only. That is to say, a live script with formatted text, code and output will open only as the code. The preferred way to work with an older release is to save the live script in R2016a as a plain code (.m) file, which will preserve the code and convert the text to publishing markup.

MATLAB: What version of Polyspace contains Code Prover Rev. 1.6

Hello,

I guess that by "revision" you mean the revision number that can be found in the project file (.psprj or .cfg). Here is a list of the Polyspace project versions and their revision number:

 R2012b : 1.3 
 R2013a : 1.3 
 R2013b : 1.4 
 R2014a : 1.5 
 R2014b : 1.5 
 R2015a : 1.5 
 R2015b : 1.5 
 R2016a : 1.6

As you can seen, 1.6 corresponds to R2016a.

Best regards,

Alexandre
