Determine if enhancements, bugs, or compatibility considerations in other products impact you. If you are upgrading from a software version other than the most recent one, review the current release notes and all interim versions. For example, when you upgrade from V1. 0 to V1. 2, review the release notes for V1. 1 and V1. 2. What Is in the Release Notes New Features and Changes · New functionality · Changes to existing functionality Version Compatibility Considerations When a new feature or change introduces a reported incompatibility between versions, the Compatibility Considerations subsection explains the impact. Compatibility issues reported after the product release appear under Bug Reports at The MathWorksTM Web site. Bug fixes can sometimes result in incompatibilities, so review the fixed bugs in Bug Reports for any compatibility impact. Fixed Bugs and Known Problems The MathWorks offers a user-searchable Bug Reports database so you can view Bug Reports. The development team updates this database at release 2 Summary by Version time and as more information becomes available. Bug Reports include provisions for any known workarounds or file replacements. Information is available for bugs existing in or fixed in Release 14SP2 or later. Information is not available for all bugs in earlier releases. Access Bug Reports using your MathWorks Account. 3 Aerospace Toolbox Release Notes Version 2. 5 (R2010a) Aerospace Toolbox This table summarizes what's new in Version 2. 5 (R2010a): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site Printable Release Notes: PDF Current product documentation · "New Gravity Centrifugal Effect Function" on page 4 · "New Spherical Harmonic Gravity Model Function" on page 4 · "New Gas Dynamics Functions" on page 4 · "Updated World Magnetic Function" on page 5 · "Demos" on page 5 New Gravity Centrifugal Effect Function The gravitycentrifugal function implements the centrifugal effect for eight planets and the Moon, plus the capability to customize this effect.

FlightGearAnimation Objects" in the Aerospace Toolbox User's Guide. 6 Version 2. 3 (R2009a) Aerospace Toolbox Version 2. 3 (R2009a) Aerospace Toolbox This table summarizes what's new in Version 2. 3 (R2009a): New Features and Changes Yes Details below Version Compatibility Considerations No Fixed Bugs and Known Problems Bug Reports Related Documentation at Web Site No · "Support to Read File Type 21 for 2007 Version of DATCOM" on page 7 · "Using FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0 with Aerospace Toolbox" on page 7 Support to Read File Type 21 for 2007 Version of DATCOM The datcomimport function has been enhanced to read file type 21 for 2007 DATCOM files. In previous releases, the Aerospace Toolbox read only file type 6. Using FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0 with Aerospace Toolbox Aerospace Toolbox Version 2. 3 does not support FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0. You can use this procedure. 1 In the MATLAB Command Window, create a FlightGear animation object. h = Aero. FlightGearAnimation; 2 Set the FlightGear animation object property FlightGearVersion to 1. 0. h. FlightGearVersion = '1. 0'; 3 Set the FlightGear animation object property FlightGearBaseDirectory to the location of FlightGear Version 1. 9. 0. h. FlightGearBaseDirectory = 'C:\Program Files\FlightGear190' 7 Aerospace Toolbox Release Notes 4 Generate the run script. GenerateRunScript(h) 5 Open the custom FlightGear run script with a text editor and change the input parameter '--airport-id=' to '--airport='. 6 Save and close this file.
