Supported Matlab versions? about bids-matlab HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi @apjanke,

The original code which bids-matlab is based upon was written to work with all MATLAB versions since R2007a and 'recent' Octave (4.2.2 onwards).

This is now to be decided for bids-matlab so I hope others will chime in. I would argue R2014a for MATLAB. For Octave we are limited by the version that users easily have access to with their package manager. Still, we can be forward-looking and make sure that we will implement in Octave missing features that will be used in this project.

MATLAB R2014a and up would work for me (i.e. for FieldTrip). I don't know enough about Octave versioning to give an informed opinion about that.

Related to this: Last week I was at http://practicalmeeg2019.org where we did hands-on sessions with ~40 people attending the session I was chairing. R2014 (a or b) was the oldest one that I encountered there, some from 2015, and most 2017-2018.

Sounds good to me.

I work with Octave. I'd recommend Octave 4.2.2 onwards like you're doing now. 4.2.x is the latest version available in many Linux package managers. So it's in common use. And 4.4.1 is the latest Octave version that works stably on macOS.
