I'm somewhat familiar with git/github, so if I could get a branch to push to
then you could pull that would be best. I sporadically work on emacs and while
not the best at elisp, I'm good enough to produce decent quality changes and I
can get Eric to look at them ahead of time.
The tab completion fixes won't hurt any compatibility problems. Neither will
the debugging change. The change is simply to use the standard MATLAB editor
for R2015b and onward. I'm looking to see if we can support native debugging in
Emacs which requires MATLAB to give file/line number info when it stops. The
warnings fixes shouldn't have altered Xemacs, but I didn't test Xemacs.
Thanks
John

Thanks for your work. If you want to continue working on matlab.el would
you like to have write access to the repo? Either for sourceforge or the
mirror in github.
There was a discussion which VC system to use and git won. So if you are
familiar with git, things should be easy.
If you don't want all that hassle send me your patch privately and I
check, run some elementary tests and push it.

Are you sure that does not break backwards compatibility?

What's about Xemacs, did you removed that support as well?

I did not notice.

Ok
