Revision of the standard

Because WG5 does not propose to change the scope or editor, an SC22 resolution is sufficient to start the revision of the standard. This was passed at the September meeting of SC22 and the revision was formally registered as a new work item by ISO on September 15. The proposed schedule (see N2106) envisages publication in July 2018 but the resolution simply says 36 months to allow a bit of leeway.

Meeting of WG5 and J3 in Boulder, June 6-10

WG5 and J3 met in Boulder, Colorado, USA, June 6-10, hosted by Dan Nagle and NCAR. It was well attended, with 19 experts from 6 countries. There were also 5 visitors, most of whom came for one day only. Most of the week was spend in J3 mode considering changes to the latest draft for Fortran 2015. In particular, the editor flagged 15 "Unresolved Technical Issues" while incorporating the Additional Parallel Features of TS18508. All these issues were resolved. The strategic plan in N2106 was adopted. Corrigendum 4 is scheduled for publication on July 1, which will pave the way for the revision to be proposed as a New Work Item at the September meeting of SC22.

Confirmation of Fortran 2008

After its 3-year systematic review, Fortran 2008 has been confirmed following an SC22 vote that ended on 17 March. The country votes were: Confirm 10; Revise 0; Withdraw 0; Abstain 21; Stabilize 1. This will allow Fortran 2008 to remain as the Fortran Standard while we prepare its replacement, Fortran 2015.
