Hi,
Thanks for letting me know about this discussion.
My original goal was to "modernize" the matlab-mode a bit by adding
compatibility with new popular packages and some fixes. Were the original
mode on github, I would have simply made a pull request afterwards. I've
made the following changes (as listed in the github readme):
- New company-matlab.el backend that works both inside the Matlab shell and
in Matlab files
- New flycheck-mlint back-end for flycheck which uses mlint to highlight
warnings in Matlab files.
- Fixed additional newlines and incorrect formatting of prompt after
completion
- Fixed version parsing for new Matlab versions
- Re-enabled HTML parsing
In the current situation I suggest one of the following options:
- Creating a new repo on github and merging my changes there
- Using my repo as a starting point and moving forward from there, I'm not
going to do much development myself anymore, but can take pull requests.
In general, since I don't know what the current situation of the original
matlab-mode is, I'll let you guys decide and say that I'm fine with
anything that moves matlab-mode to github (to facilitate future
development) and brings in the features I added.
Best,
Andrzej
