Follow-up Comment #1:

Thanks for filing this bug report.

According to

https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/version.html

the following should work:


>> version -date
ans = 2015-05-26
>> version -description
ans = something
>> version -release
ans = something
>> version -java
ans = OpenJDK version whatever
>> [v, d] = version
v = 4.1.0+
d = 2015-05-26


And according to this bug report, the versions of BLAS and LAPACK libraries
should work with the -blas and -lapack options. These options are not
documented at all on Matlab's site, but are demonstrated here:

This might be a good small project for a new contributor to work on.
