27 June 2025
Intel(R) Fortran version 2025.2.0 released.

Available for download from our product page HERE. 
But instead of that download page, I would recommend downloading our Intel® Fortran Essentials package.  The Essentials package contains the Fortran compile plus tools you may want to go alongside  Fortran.  The package contents:

• Intel® Fortran Compiler
• Intel Distribution for GDB
• Intel MPI Library
• oneMKL

Download the Fortran Essentials package HERE (look for "Intel® Fortran Essentials" on this downloads page) 
  

The Release Notes are HERE.
Along with many fixes for customer reported bugs, the highlights for this release include:

New Fortran 2023 features in this release:

• A data component whose type has a coarray potential subobject component may be an array.
• Intrinsic function SELECTED_LOGICAL_KIND has been implemented.

New Features in this release:

• The IEEE_SCALB (X, I) now permits the I argument to be of type real with the same kind type parameter as the X argument (Fortran 2018 interpretation)
• Option assume inline_cloc causes the compiler to generate inline code for the C_LOC function from the intrinsic module procedure ISO_C_BINDING.  The default is assume noinline_cloc, which treats C_LOC as a call to an external function.

New OpenMP features in this release:

OpenMP 6.0

• The STRIPE loop transformation construct has been implemented.
• The NOWAIT clause now has an optional do-not-synchronize logical argument.
