Version 2.1 Now Available!

Approximatrix is happy to announce the release of Simply Fortran version 2.1. The latest version incorporates some minor feature additions and bug fixes. An intermittent bug related to communications between the debugger and the integrated development environment that could cause lock ups if during stack changes involving large numbers of local variables has been resolved. Some unnecessary messages from the debugger have been eliminated. Stepping into runtime library functions now behaves similarly to stepping over equivalent statements. The Debugger panel is now displayed as soon as debugging begins. The "Continue to Cursor" feature has been added per users' requests, accessible from the Debug menu, the editor's popup menu, or the Control-Shift-B hotkey. A bug related to launching programs with arguments in external console windows has been resolved. A minor documentation update adds the directions for performing standard input/output redirection using the target's command-line options. Shared libraries now statically link the GNU Fortran runtime library to ensure compatibility across systems.

The latest release is available immediately from the Download page. Users of the version 1 series of releases can evaluate version 2.1 alongside their current installation without conflicts. If you find Simply Fortran useful, please consider registering your copy to help ensure the suite's ongoing development. Registered users of version 1 can purchase an upgrade at a reduced price.
