Used my free time made this web based Matlab data viewer, trying to collect some feedback, if you are interested to use, completely free, and local based, no data uploaded to cloud/server, no reg needed. Hope can help people try to open without Matlab in hand.

The latest version of MATLAB, 2026b, was released last week and in my latest article I pick out 9 of my favorite enhancements out of the hundreds on offer. My list includes
- The MATLAB Package Manager
- An enhanced command window including Markdown Support
- A raft of performance enhancements
- A look at extensive new functionality relating to Design of Experiments (DOE)
- Plain-text file formats for live scripts and app-designer apps.
- GPU interoperability with CuPy, Tensorflow and PyTorch
- Google Sheet support

and more. I missed out all sorts of interesting things such as new algorithms for random number generation, sparse convolutions, improvements to ODE solvers including waypoint support, incremental machine learning...*hundreds* of updates.

Check out the release notes for full details but, for now, I hope you enjoy my tour over at The MATLAB Blog: https://blogs.mathworks.com/matlab/2026/10/01/a-look-at-some-of-whats-new-in-matlab-r2026b/

controlsys is a Go package for linear control systems. It works on continuous-time and discrete-time models. The main model form is state space.

Main capabilities:

• Models: state space, transfer function, zero-pole-gain (ZPK), frequency-response data (FRD), model arrays and tunable blocks.
• Analysis: Bode, Nyquist and Nichols plots, gain and phase margins, disk margins and step metrics.
• Design: LQR, LQG, Kalman filters, H2 and H-infinity synthesis, pole placement and PID tuning.
• Simulation: step, impulse, initial-condition and arbitrary-input responses.
• Model reduction: balanced truncation and modal truncation.
• Delays: input, output and internal delays, with Pade and Thiran approximations.
• Conversion: ZOH, FOH, Tustin, matched, impulse and least-squares methods between continuous and discrete time, in both directions and for resampling. We test the results against MATLAB behaviour.

New in v1.12.0:

• Tustin conversion with Thiran filters is approximately 30% faster than in v1.11.0.
• Tustin conversion with Thiran filters now supports MIMO models with delays on individual input-to-output paths.
• ThiranDelay now accepts short delays when the filter is stable.

We want your feedback, especially from people who use MATLAB or python-control.
