This release has a number of minor bug fixes and feature improvements over 2.1.0. As mentioned previously, one design improvement exposed an unfortunate bug in currently released versions of GFortran (4.8.2 and earlier). The lack of backward support for those earlier compilers is why this is a major release rather than a minor release. pFUnit will build with the trunk of 4.9.0 and we are confident that it and 4.8.3 will be supported when hey are formally released. Should be very soon. Noteworthy changes in this release: - Improvements to default driver . Produces a useful return code under unix in serial (and some MPI variants) . Additional command line options: --debug, -o <file>, -xml, --help - Improvements to examples . Now covered under regression testing (were relatively unstable before) . Makefiles are more portable - New assert methods for real variables (<,<=, >,>=) - Improvements to parser . Refinements to parser syntax . Several bug fixes for rare cases that had not been covered by tests . Regression of examples provides better coverage for parser than previously We still see occasional issues with robust support of OO features even in those compilers that we claim to support. We are happy to refine and submit a bug report to the vendor(s) if you can send us a reproducer. |
