R2008b: Simulink!

I just downloaded and installed the R2008b prerelease, and you can too!

Currently licensed users of MathWorks products have access to download and install the R2008b prerelease here (requires login).

The prerelease gives you two important benefits:

1. You get instant access to evaluate all the new features in R2008b.
2. Ensure compatibility for your models and workflow.

The prerelease is an important part of the process used by the MathWorks to ensure smooth upgrades.  This is your best chance to report any issues you run into with R2008b. Tell us now, and there’s a chance we can address it before the general release this Fall. We’re excited about the new release. Give it a try and see what you think.

   I’d like to thank all of you for implementing a new object model. The old one was less than user friendly.

   Can the new objects be used with Simulink? More specifically, is there a way to derive a class from a parent block class and just overload callbacks instead of going about the standard S-function method? This would be incredibly useful.

   @Dan - The new object system can be used as part of M-file S-functions, as well as model callbacks. There is currently no mechanism to derive a class from blocks as you describe. Thanks for your suggestion!
