Version 2.25 Released!

Simply Fortran version 2.25 is now available from Approximatrix. This latest release brings numerous improvements to the compiler, development environment, and AppGraphics library. The GNU Fortran compiler has been upgraded to version 5.2.0. Our OpenMP implementation has been overhauled significantly such that libraries and executable using OpenMP no longer rely on a "pthreads" compatibility layer. Simply Fortran now provides an OpenMP implementation that uses Windows threading directly. Within the development environment, the registration and expiration dialogs have been significantly simplified to eliminate confusion with new users. The "Smart Indent" feature for fixed-format Fortran has been significantly improved. A long-standing indentation bug within our source code editor has been eliminated. Possible crashes due to an obscure situation involving incomplete function or subroutine declarations has been eliminated. Linker flags are no longer included in the library creation command when building static libraries. The AppGraphics documentation has been improved, adding missing functions and subroutines that had not been documented. Simply Fortran, when building Windows GUI executables (including AppGraphics programs), now properly generates and includes a Windows manifest to ensure that proper Windows theming is used in all GUI programs. Major improvements in the underpinnings of Simply Fortran's development environment, which should be transparent to end users, are included to assist in the release of versions for other operating systems.

The latest release is available now on the Download page. Users wishing to register their installation can visit the Registration page to enable all features once the thirty day free trial has expired.
