Some highlights:

New Fortran 2023 features

• Changes to the SYSTEM_CLOCK intrinsic have been implemented. All integer arguments must have the same kind type, and be of at least default integer kind. Violation of these restrictions is diagnosed as standard messages when option -stand f2023 (Windows: /stand:f23)or option standard-semantics appears on the command line.
• PUBLIC NAMELIST groups may now contain PRIVATE variables.

New OpenMP features in ifx 2025.1

• OpenMP 6.0
  • The WORKDISTRIBUTE construct divides the associated block of statements into units of work that are each executed once by a thread of the enclosing TEAMS construct. A procedure reference in the associated block, with the exception of a reference to MATMUL with fixed-size array arguments, will inhibit the work-sharing properties of this construct at this time.
  • INTERCHANGE construct reorders loops in a loop nest.
