When was 'tokenize' dropped from regexprep?

With R2016a I get this warning

>> regexprep( 'abc123def', '(\d{3})', '.$1.', 'tokenize' )
Warning: The 'tokenize' option for regexprep is now the default behavior. 
ans =
abc.123.def

Which was the first release in which 'tokenize' was the default? I don't find 'tokenize' in the current documentation. Will it be dropped altogether?

R14

You'll have to write a book about regexp after all these threads ;-)

EDIT: found it mentioned in the PDF release note "The MATLAB 7.0.4 Release Notes describe the changes introduced in the latest version of MATLAB for R14SP2" to be precise.

Cedric, thanks for the reference.

MATLAB 7.0.4 Release Note: Default Tokenizing — The regexprep function
now tokenizes by default. There is no longer a 'tokenize' option

My pleasure, and let me know the ISBN if you publish anything ;-)
