[Erppcatoolkit-support] OS X 10.10 update (Yosemite)

[Joseph D. <jd...@ma...>]

For Mac users, please note that the newest OS X update (Yosemite) will greatly affect your ability to use Matlab.  Only the newest version (2014b) will start normally.  This version of Matlab has greatly changed the graphics routines and so the current version of EP Toolkit will not run under it (I’m not sure when the necessary revisions will be completed).  Matlab 2013b and 2014a can run under Yosemite if the following steps are taken:

If there is a white bar across the Matlab icon and clicking on it gives you a "You can't use this version of the application” message, then you need to follow the instructions on this following webpage: http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1116607 <http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1116607>

The webpage claims that Apple has fixed this problem but I’m not seeing it.

If following these instructions results in a very long java error message and Matlab crashes, then you need to also follow the instructions at: http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1098655 <http://www.mathworks.com/support/bugreports/1098655>

Older versions of Matlab will not run at all under Yosemite.  I’m therefore going to stop trying to support anything earlier than Matlab 2013b.

I should have a minor EP Toolkit update (2.46) finished soon, which will be the last one that will run under the older Matlab versions (prior to 2014b).
After that, the next will be a 2.50 update which will only run under Matlab 2014b or later.
