The time series object seems not to accept the datetime data type for the time vector. This is very inconvenient as the datetime data type is the far best way of representing time in Matlab. Will support for datetime values in the time vector be implemented in the future?

Christopher, it's nice to hear that you've used datetime and think it's worthwhile. Integrating datetime into more places in MATLAB, including ways to use it for time series data, is something we're actively exploring.

Any news on this? Especially - how can I convert a time from a timeseries to a datetime?

William, you might mean, "how do I convert the time vector in a timeseries object to a datetime?", and that is not possible. But beginning in R2016b, you can use a timetable for many of the things you'd use a timeseries for. It's pretty straight-forward to convert from timeseries to timetable, although depending on the time vector in the former you might need to use functions such as days.
