The documentation for MATPOWER can be found in the various Manuals, How To Guides, and Tech Notes on this site. Each function or class has its own reference documentation which can be accessed via the built-in help command in MATLAB or Octave, or by consulting the corresponding Reference manual.
Changes to MATPOWER in each released version are summarized in the release notes, found on GitHub in docs/relnotes and in Appendix H of the MATPOWER User's Manual. A complete, detailed change log, even for unreleased versions, is available in the CHANGES.md file.
Note
The goal is to make all MATPOWER documentation available in HTML format, with some of the manuals also available as PDF. To facilitate this, new documentation is written in reStructured Text format for processing by Sphinx, so the HTML and PDF versions can be built from a single source.
Currently, most of the User’s Manuals are still only available as PDF, built from the legacy LaTeX source.
