Mathworks Support Changes

Posted by on Thursday, November 21, 2013 in Blog.

Mathworks, the company that produces MATLAB, is updating its platform support model in response to changes in customer behavior.

New supported platforms include:

  • Windows 8.1: support begins with R2013a
  • OS X 10.9 (Mavericks): Support begins with R2013a

Dropped platforms include:

  • Windows XP and Windows Vista: R2014b (expected next fall) is likely to be the last release supporting Windows XP and Windows Vista. If you are using XP or Vista, Mathworks recommends upgrading to a newer version of Windows before next fall.
  • 32-bit Windows: Mathworks will stop producing new releases for 32-bit Windows during 2014 and 2015.  Mathworks recommends that 32-bit users migrate to 64-bit Windows.

When Mathworks drops a platform, it stops offering new product releases and bug fixes for the dropped platform.
