SUMMARY
The latest version of MATLAB (2012) has introduced issues that lead to nonsensical results in previously functional programs from the 2011 version. Users have reported that standard functions may no longer be supported or have altered input/output expectations. To troubleshoot, it is recommended to utilize the "dependency report" feature in MATLAB to identify affected functions and consult the official release notes for detailed changes. Sticking with MATLAB 2011 is a viable alternative if immediate resolution is not possible.
