[Matlab-emacs-discuss] News: Updates to matlab.el and support files in CVS

[Eric L. <Eri...@ma...>]

Hello all,

  It has been a long time since I've had news about matlab.el, so I thought I would share the latest changes that have gone into CVS.

  There is a new download script for anyone who does not have a CVS client.  If you do not have a CVS client, you can download the script from this URL:

http://matlab-emacs.cvs.sourceforge.net/viewvc/*checkout*/matlab-emacs/matlab-emacs/dl_emacs_support.m?revision=1.2&pathrev=MAIN

Here is a summary of new items now in CVS:
* David Engster's recent company-mode support with a popup tip of completions in matlab-shell.
* Uwe Brauer extra support for publishing files with MATLAB.
* matlab-indent-function-body can now have a 'guess option.  (That used to always be the case)
* Revised compilation/setup when using CEDET.  CEDET is still optional.
* SRecode template files.  (for code creation.)
* support for spmd

For those who have not tried the CEDET support that has been in CVS for a while, it includes a tagging parser and database backend that David wrote that provides the tools needed for robust code-completion.  It also enables a wide range of other CEDET tools, such as various decoration modes, and summary help.

The latest changes now in CVS has had minimal testing by me.  I would encourage folks to try it out.  Bug reports and patches welcome.

Thanks
Eric
