## Summary:
1 Emacs MATLAB-mode
═══════════════════
[MathWorks] MATLAB® and [GNU Emacs] integration:
1. MATLAB mode, *matlab-ts-mode* or *matlab-mode*, for editing `*.m'
files.
• Edit MATLAB code with syntax highlighting, indentation (code
formatting), and semantic movement.
• Lint MATLAB code with fix-it's using the MATLAB Code Analyzer.
The *matlab-ts-mode* is a more capable, performant, and accurate
than *matlab-mode*.
2. *Code navigation and more*
• The [MATLAB Language Server with Emacs], matlabls, provides code
navigation, code completion, go to definition, find references,
and more.
• Imenu support for quickly jumping to function declarations in the
current `*.m' or `*.tlc' file. See [doc/matlab-imenu.org].
## Recent NEWS:
1 Release 8.0.0 Jan-29-2026
═══════════════════════════
This release updates matlab-ts-mode indent to /electric indent
code/. This is sometimes called pretty printing code or formatting
code.
To indent a MATLAB `*.m' file,
┌────
│ C-x h or M-: (mark-whole-buffer)
│ C-M-\ or M-x indent-region
└────
See [doc/matlab-code-indent.org - MATLAB Indent (Code Format)]
[doc/matlab-code-indent.org - MATLAB Indent (Code Format)]

2 Release 7.4.2 Dec 29, 2025
════════════════════════════
Fix bug in tramp (remote) matlab-shell when matlab is installed in a
custom location.
3 Release 7.4.1 Nov 26, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. Fix indent bug. In following typing RET after the argument end
statement, the indent now goes to the 4th column and not the 8th
column:
┌────
│ function test(A)
│ arguments
│ A
│ end
│ end
└────
4 Release 7.4.0 Nov 26, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. Place the `matlab-*-face' definitions in customize matlab-ts-faces
group.
2. Add `M-x matlab-ts-describe-faces' along with menu item
┌────
│ MATLAB -> Describe faces
└────
that will bring up a help buffer containing the faces used by
matlab-ts-mode. From there you can customize them. This differs
from viewing the matlab-ts-faces group in that it contains both
matlab-*-faces plus other built-in faces such as
font-lock-type-face. This help buffer also contain more information
on when the faces are used.
5 Release 7.3.4 Nov 25, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. Add the source and build instructions for the
libtree-sitter-matlab.SLIB_EXT binaries found in [./matlab-ts-bin]
and used by `M-x matlab-ts-grammar-install'.
[./matlab-ts-bin] <file:matlab-ts-bin>
6 Release 7.3.3 Nov 23, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. Update to latest
<https://github.com/acristoffers/tree-sitter-matlab> which improves
matlab-ts-mode: matlab-ts-abi14-20251122-90ce9da
7 Release 7.3.2 Nov 21, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. Update to latest
<https://github.com/acristoffers/tree-sitter-matlab> which improves
matlab-ts-mode. The changes fix parsing errors up through issues
141 in matlab tree-sitter.
8 Release 7.3.1 Nov 14, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. Fixed M-q (fill-paragraph) in comments when there no space after
the '%' character.
2. Improved t-utils-view-parse-tree
3. Made matlab-ts-mode show-paren-mode robust to extra `\n' nodes
9 Release 7.3.0 Nov 12, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. Updated matlab-ts-mode to work with tree-sitter-matlab commit
9d16fcf. This fixes many known issues in matlab-ts-mode.
2. Simplified the install of the matlab tree-sitter grammar shared
libraries. To enable *matlab-ts-mode* you install `matlab-mode' and
then `M-x matlab-ts-grammar-install'.
10 Release 7.2.1 Oct 30, 2025
═════════════════════════════
1. In matlab-ts-mode, fix indent involving catch clause with a
comment.
11 Release 7.2.0 Oct 29, 2025
═════════════════════════════
1. Updated matlab-ts-mode to use latest matlab tree-sitter v1.2.3
branch [abi/14] at [9a4e65d]. This fixes parse on a number of
MATLAB language constructs, which is visible behavior improvements,
so bumping revision to 7.2.0.
2. In matlab-ts-mode, don't offer to fix function/classdef names when
there are syntax errors because this can lead to changing the name
of other identifiers and not the function/classdef name.

12 Release 7.1.2 Oct 16, 2025
═════════════════════════════
1. matlab-is-matlab-file: This function identifies when the content of
a *.m file is MATLAB code, if it's not MATLAB code, Emacs defaults
to Objective-C. This fixes a case where a *.m contains MATLAB code
and the first line is a @function_handle.
13 Release 7.1.1 Oct 1, 2025
════════════════════════════
1. matlab-ts-mode: fix semantic movement in strings. Now C-M-f, C-M-b,
C-M-SPC work when point is within strings.
14 Release 7.1.0 Sep 29, 2025
═════════════════════════════
1. Improved matlab-ts-mode imenu. The imenu index now creates indices
for code sections defined by "%% heading comments". In addition,
the menu was updated to have structure:
• Class
• Function
• Section
Previously, imenu was a flat list without code sections index
entries.
