When will R2020b be officially released?

When will Matlab R2020b be officially released? I cannot find any information on the release date nor any updats notes.

Release dates are not announced in advance. However most typical is Wednesday a week before the equinox. Not always though: one of the recent releases was a Friday.

Yes, it was released today (September 16th, 2020.)

And here's what we see on the Mathworks home page as of a few seconds ago:

If you go to the Downloads page or to the documentation, R2020b is available. And when I navigated to the home page just now, R2020b was listed.

Thank you all, what a timing - I must have submitted this question hours before the release. Time to download and try it.

[Walter Roberson]

Oh, right, that's why I wasn't testing it: It doesn't run on MacOS High Sierra, and NVIDIA graphics drivers for my NVIDIA graphics card are not available for MacOS releases after High Sierra.

I can't install it either. I downloaded the stub installer but when I run it, it says that it can't connect with the Mathworks server. Some kind of firewall issue. I ran into it recently when trying to do a toolbox trial. I've had both my IT security folks and Mathworks tech support try to fix it but they just keep pointing fingers at the other one. It worked find with the R2020a release.

Installed OK on my 2 Windows PCs this morning

I installed with almost no problems a couple hours ago.

The only glitch was this Norton notice:

So R2020b didn’t copy any of my preferences. I solved that by renaming C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2020b to R2020b_1, creating a new R2020b directory, and copying my R2022a preferences to it, as the solution recommends.

I have already notified MathWorks Technical Support about this.
