Simply Fortran 2.2 Released

Version 2.2 of Simply Fortran is now available from Approximatrix, LLC. This release incorporates a number of bug fixes and minor features additions into the integrated development environment. The syntax checking of the current editor tab should now update after the user ceases input properly, eliminating lagging errors that are not applicable to the current editor. A bug that could possibly cause program crashes when a build is requested has been eliminated. Autocomplete lists for derived types should now be alphabetically sorted properly. The indexing engine should operate slightly faster, and stale entries are now properly removed when files are closed. A toolbar button for "Continue to Cursor" has been added. Adding highlighted text to the watch list is now possible using the Alt+Insert key combination. Switching between left panel views can now be performed via hotkeys, listed in the View menu. Additionally, switching modes in the debugging panel can be achieved using Control and + or - keys on the number pad. Simply Fortran's indexing engine now fully understands and supports inheritance in Fortran derived types and Python classes, allowing for resolution of procedures and variables provided by parent types and classes to appear in autocomplete lists.
