| Simply Fortran 3.37 Build 4 Nov 20, 2024 |
Approximatrix is happy to announce the release of Simply Fortran 3.38 for Windows, macOS, and GNU/Linux. The latest release adds additional features to the development environment and fixes numerous user-reported bugs. The development environment now adds a new option, Single Fortran File, to the project's Export menu. This option will concatenate all files in a project into a single Fortran source file, taking module dependencies into consideration when ordering the concatenation operation, to allow an entire project to be condensed into a single file for possible sharing. Two new Fortran-specific Insert options have been added. The first, Interface to External Procedure, allows users to select a Fortran procedure that is not located in a module, and Simply Fortran will output a matching interface block for the procedure at the current cursor position. The second, Interface to a C Procedure, accepts a C procedure signature and inserts a valid Fortran interface to the C procedure at the cursor position. Both routines are available from the Insert submenu in the editor's popup menu, using the Control-I hotkey (or Command-I on macOS) to expose the Insert popup, or from the Insert submenu in the menubar's Edit menu. Additional care has been added to the File Locations category in Project Options in the development environment. The Build and Module directories now actively prohibit using spaces or parentheses for these paths. Issues with parentheses in the project directory or any specified library or module directory on GNU/Linux and macOS have been fixed such that the compiler should work fine when present. Projects relying on large numbers of files will now generate a list of objects for linking directly in the makefile. The earlier implementation of this solution relied on the development environment itself creating a list of objects when that list would cause the linking command in the makefile to exceed the allowable command line length. However, having the develo |

The latest release brings minor feature improvements and additional bug fixes. Tabs in the development environment that are not strictly source code editors are now marked with appropriate icons. The Start panel, Build Status, Console, Terminals, and Profile Results will now be marked with an appropriate icon in their tabs. The source code editor context menu now offers to insert variable and procedure attributes when on an appropriate line via the Insert submenu. This Insert submenu is also directly available in the editor by pressing Control-I (Command-I on macOS) to decrease the number of steps necessary. Scratchpads will now be recognized by file extension for any language compatible with Simply Fortran's syntax highlighting rather than just Fortran and plain text. Debugging when using single file editing and compiling (or working without projects) should now be more resilient about properly starting the debugger. Previous versions would incorrectly fail to launch the debugger due to multiple tabs being open. The Problems panel under Windows now allows filtering by warnings and errors. The Project Outline on Windows now draws drastically faster, making changes to large projects on Windows more fluid. Windows users can now choose between using Command or PowerShell as the default Terminal shell in Appearance and Behavior Options. |
| Simply Fortran 3.35 Build 4 Jul 22, 2024 |
Approximatrix is happy to announce the release of Simply Fortran 3.35 for all supported platforms. The latest version includes an updated Fortran compiler on macOS and Windows, cosmetic improvements, and numerous bug fixes. The included GNU Fortran compiler on Windows and macOS has been upgraded to version 14.1.0. Our Windows build includes, as usual, a native OpenMP implementation, a faster math library, and the native Approximatrix Windows Coarray library. The macOS release now utilizes Apple's Accelerate framework on modern systems when linking to LAPACK and BLAS is requested to best utilize the underlying hardware. The quick search bar in the development environment now includes actions that can be searched for and executed from the search box in the toolbar on all platforms. For example, searching for the word "Open" will suggest "Open File," which will present the file selection dialog if selected from the search results. On the Windows platform, the user interface will now use rounded controls by default on Windows 11 to better match system theming. Deactivated buttons are now drawn as greyed out in the development environment. The resilient launch process, enabled by default on Windows, now checks for intermittent "access denied" or "busy" errors reported by the operating system that may be theoretically caused by Windows Defender. When encountered, Simply Fortran will wait for a short period and reattempt launching the compiled executable rather than immediately producing an error. On Linux and macOS, the development environment has received some additional cosmetic improvements. Certain controls in the project management panels and GTK+ header bar will now draw as grouped controls. Unnecessary borders have been corrected in a number of locations in the user interface. Possible GTK+ errors caused by rejecting the license have been fixed. The Escape key should properly close search bars on both platforms. Call tips on |
