I use IVF 9.1.024 and got an email suggesting a free update to 9.1.033 . Where can I get info on the "minor" updates -- what has been fixed or changed? I'd rather not "fix what isn't broken" unless there is a strong reason to update.

In particular, has the "problem with allocatable array of derived types" mentioned at

http://softwareforums.intel.com/en-us/forums//topic/52318

been fixed? Thanks.

There is a README.TXT file that is provided for download along with each update. It lists bugs that were fixed in that update. The bug you mention was reported too recently to be fixed in 9.1.033 - it should make the next update.

However, that particular bug shows up only if you enable the new /check:pointer feature and is encountered if you have a local allocatable array of derived type which contains component initialization. It's easily worked around by not enabling /check:pointer, which is not on by default.
