MathWorks MATLAB R2024b (v24.2.0.2712019) is the latest major update to the high-level language and interactive environment for numerical computation, visualization, and programming. This version introduces the first official MATLAB Package Manager and substantial performance boosts for core functions like datetime and isprime. Key Platform Enhancements
MATLAB Package Manager (mpm): For the first time, users can programmatically define, install, and manage collections of MATLAB code and their dependencies.
New Desktop UI (Beta): A redesigned desktop featuring customizable sidebars, light and dark themes, and improved screen reader support for better accessibility.
Data Sonification: The new sonify function allows researchers to "hear" their data, providing an alternative to traditional visualization for analysis and accessibility. Major Toolbox Updates
5G Toolbox: Expanded to support 6G waveform generation and signal quality assessments for 5G-Advanced systems. MathWorks MATLAB R2024b V24.2.0.2712019 VDO I... -BEST
Deep Learning: Includes the Segment Anything Model (SAM) in the Image Labeler app, allowing for automated object segmentation without requiring manual training.
Simulink Control Design: Now supports nonlinear and data-driven control techniques, such as sliding mode control.
DSP HDL Toolbox: Introduces the DSP HDL IP Designer app for interactive configuration of DSP algorithms and automatic HDL code generation. Performance Improvements R2024a Speed R2024b Speed Improvement isprime ~20x faster datetime parsing ~17x faster simplify (polyshapes) ~23x faster waitbar updates ~3.9x faster Visualization and Graphics
New Plot Types: Added violinplot for probability density visualization and compassplot for radial data in polar axes. MathWorks MATLAB R2024b (v24
Enhanced Charts: Bar charts now include a Labels property for easier annotation, and pie/donut charts support a "NumDisplayWedges" property to group small categories into "Others".
ConstantPlane: A new constantplane() function allows users to add infinite 3D planes to visualize slices of complex data volumes.
