In summary, there seems to be a potential issue with using MATLAB 2012 for certain programs that previously worked well in the 2011 version. This could be due to changes in supported functions or differences in expected inputs/outputs. The solution may involve tracking and debugging the issue or sticking with the 2011 version. The dependency report tool in the editor can be used to check for any unsupported functions in the program. The release notes for MATLAB 2012 may also provide helpful information on any changes that could affect program functionality.

Has anyone found that their MATLAB programs are now giving nonsensical results in te latest version of matlab? I wrote a program which worked very well in the 2011 version of MATLAB but now in the 2012 version of MATLAB it still sort of runs but nor yields nonsensical results. I can show examples has anyone found this?

I have tried to run the codes on Octave but it seems to take ages.

I have not had this problem, personally, but I've only just begun using 2012 in the last month.

It is possible that one of the standard MATLAB funciton you're using either

a) has stopped being supported, so it's no longer vetted to see if it works after changing possible dependencies and core MATLAB code.

b) has been changed in a way that the inputs and/or outputs are expected differently.

You're going to have to either track the bug (which sometimes ends up being a can of worms, depending on how complex your code is) or stick with 2011.

In the editor under the (tools, I think) menu, there's a "dependency report". You can use that to see all the functions your program relies on (and can do the same for each of those functions). Then you can check on support for each of those functions in 2012.

here's the release notes. You can click on each topic to expand it and see details on function/handling changes, etc.:
