- Here's the "high-level" summary of the major new additions:
-
- - Object-based graphics facility
- - 3-D color scientific visualization abilities
- - Animation
- - Sound output capability
- - M-file debugging facilities
- - Low-level file I/O functions
- - Graphical user interface controls (GUI widget set)
- - Sparse matrix support
- - An improved help system
- - Interpreter and graphics speed improvements
- - A new External Interface library (MEX-files, engine, MAT-files)
- - Better documentation (in the eyes of the beholder, I imagine :-) )
- - Lots of other smaller improvements..

-
- This sounds like a FAQ-like question....
