Simply Fortran 2.15 Now Available

Version 2.15 of Simply Fortran is now available from Approximatrix, LLC. This latest versions introduces numerous features, improvements, and bug fixes. The compiler has been updated to GNU Fortran version 4.9.1, which includes support for the OpenMP 4.0 specification. At the request of users, the behavior of "Save As..." within the development environment has been changed to default to the same folder as the last opened tab. The default target name has been changed to target.exe instead of Simply Fortran's traditional Project.exe to avoid confusion surrounding the distinction between the target and project names. Module files detected in the project's root directory that are not managed by Simply Fortran are now renamed automatically to avoid compiler errors related to modules possibly created by different Fortran compilers. Libraries, including DLLs, that are opened via Simply Fortran's development environment will now instead list the symbols present in the library rather than attempt to display binary information. A user-reported bug that blocked launching an external console when debugging has been resolved. Some minor memory leaks in the indexing system have been fixed.

Version 2.15 most notably now supports network licenses. A network license allows an organization to buy a fixed number of Simply Fortran "seats" to share amongst a number of users without having to purchase individual named licenses. Network licenses require users to have an internet connection, although intermittent connections will work fine. More information can be found at the new Simply Fortran License Server.
