I'm upgrading from 2012a to 2013a. Assuming matlab doesn't change much then these should apply in the future. Just replace 2012a and 2013a appropriately.

• General preferences: cp ~/.matlab/R2012a/* ~/.matlab/R2013a/
• Path: Open /Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/toolbox/local/pathdef.m and copy custom lines into /Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/toolbox/local/pathdef.m
• Mex options: cp /Applications/MATLAB_R2012a.app/bin/mexopts.sh /Applications/MATLAB_R2013a.app/bin/mexopts.sh
• Tab completion: Run add_igl_tab_completion

Note: May have to change that path to the most recent mosek toolbox. For example, /usr/local/mosek/7/toolbox/2013a/.
