v0.11.0

MAT v0.11.0

Diff since v0.10.7

Breaking changes

• Read MatlabClassObject instead of a Dict{String,Any} with "class" key
• Read MatlabStructArray instead of a Dict{String,Any} with Array{Any,N} values

New features

• Write MatlabClassObject
• Write MatlabStructArray
• Read MatlabOpaque with automatic type conversion for:
  • string to String
  • duration to Dates.Millisecond
  • datetime to Dates.DateTime
  • categorical to PooledArrays.PooledArray
  • table to MatlabTable or tables like DataFrame

Fixes:

• MAT v4: handle null-terminator '\0' in names
• Writing AbstractArray types
• Writing Char type
