Simply Fortran 3.29 Released

Approximatrix is happy to announce the release of Simply Fortran version 3.29 for all supported platforms. The latest release incorporates numerous ease-of-use improvements, bug fixes, and minor bug fixes.

The development environment is now able to detect when the developer's executable crashes. When a crash is detected, Simply Fortran will suggest enabling runtime diagnostics or using the debugger to troubleshoot the crashed program. This change should help address common user confusion over program signals. Single-file situations, where Simply Fortran only has a single Fortran source file open, can now utilize the debugger without having to create a project. Additionally, single-file situations can now be detected if an open project is present, but the project does not contain any Fortran source code. These changes help users who are working in simpler situations where the project paradigm might be burdensome.

A bug related to autocompleting named common blocks has been corrected, allowing Simply Fortran to provide a list of all known named common blocks when typing. When a common block name is entered, Simply Fortran will now populate the current line with known variable definitions automatically from prior common block declarations within the current project or file.

The editing popup menu in the development environment has been updated with two additional options to change the case of a selection. The Windows MSI installer now supports an additional property to disable checks for software updates.

The latest version can be obtained from the Download page for all supported platforms.
