 % 11/04/23: (3.35) Added -n,-x,-s options to set min, max, and fixed output image size (issue #315)
 % 13/04/23: (3.36) Reduced (hopefully fixed) unintended EPS/PDF image cropping (issues #97, #318); clarified warning in case of PDF/EPS export of transparent patches (issues #94, #106, #108)
 % 23/04/23: (3.37) Fixed run-time error with old Matlab releases (issue #374); -notify console message about exported image now displays black (STDOUT) not red (STDERR)
+% 15/05/23: (3.38) Fixed endless recursion when using export_fig in Live Scripts (issue #375); don't warn about exportgraphics/copygraphics alternatives in deployed mode
