So to be sure: that patch we are talking about does these 2 things?
Or must the hotlink feature turned off manually? If so then this should
be mentioned in the release notes and/or the doc string.

Ok I could apply the patch and change the matlab version number to make
clear that there is something *new*, but I want to be sure not to break
backward compatibility, also out of egoistic motives. I am still stuck
on my laptop to Matlab 2010 and don't want to break things.
