* [[Boxplot]] - Major overhaul:
 
*:*Add many additional options to better match Mathworks' boxplot.
==NEW FUNCTIONS AND FILES==
*:*Better support for nice legends.
 
*:*Modify defaults to match Mathworks boxplot.
*''Full Support for Matlab R2012a''
*:*Allow more color and symbol customization.
*:*Improved help (making it easier to understand the limits calculations used.)
* Options -allow throwing of error, warning, or command-line display when an option passed to a function contains invalid fields. Helps identify when you have mistyped an option name or used the wrong name. See [[Working_With_Function_Options#Checking_for_Bad_Options|Working With Function Options]].
* xclreadr/[[parsemixed]] - add "leadingdelim" option to allow ignoring leading delimiters (rather than replacing them with missing data.)
* [[DataSet Object]]
*:*Discontinue throwing of error when user attempts to index into non-existent but otherwise valid set. Instead simply return an empty (of appropriate type). This makes set indexing more friendly (the set doesn't exist, but it CAN exist, so returning empty value is more valid than throwing error).
*:*Allow indexing by single index when ROW vector (e.g. x(1:5) when x is a row vector should return COLUMNS 1-5).
* [[Windowfilter]] - significant speed improvement and added support for include field (variables).
