News About GNU Fortran

Changes made to recent versions of GNU Fortran are listed below, with the most recent version first.

The changes are generally listed in order:

  1. Code-generation and run-time-library bug-fixes
  2. Compiler and run-time-library crashes involving valid code that have been fixed
  3. New features
  4. Fixes and enhancements to existing features
  5. New diagnostics
  6. Internal improvements
  7. Miscellany

This order is not strict--for example, some items involve a combination of these elements.

Note that two variants of g77 are tracked below. The egcs variant is described vis-a-vis previous versions of egcs and/or an official FSF version, as appropriate.

Therefore, egcs versions sometimes have multiple listings to help clarify how they differ from other versions, though this can make getting a complete picture of what a particular egcs version contains somewhat more difficult.

An online, "live" version of this document (derived directly from the up-to-date mainline version of g77 within egcs) is available at http://egcs.cygnus.com/onlinedocs/g77_news.html.
