oneAPI 2024.2: IFORT 2021.13.0 update missing in Visual Studio 2022 whereas IFX 2024.2 is present

Intel Software Team:

A team I work with has upgraded their workstations to Intel oneAPI 2024.2 and they find the IFORT 2021.13.0 update missing in Visual Studio 2022.  They do find IFORT 2021.12.0 separately and also as the latest in VS 2022.

But now, they do find IFX 2024.2 in Visual Studio 2022 and are able to use it.  This is consistent behavior they notice across several workstations that were upgraded.  For whatever it's worth, they attest no errors were encountered during the installation.

This team also finds the oneAPI 2024.2 shortcut for Windows console access to show IFORT 2021.13.0 as the version from the command line.  This is in addition to IFX 2024.2.

So, is it by design the integration of Intel Fortran with Visual Studio has stopped at IFORT 2021.12.0 that was release with 2024.1 update.  And that starting with IFORT 2021.13.0 until the IFORT support ends this year, there will be no further update to the IFORT integration in VS?

Thank you for any details you can provide re: IFORT plans starting with this 2024.2 update.

Yes, we are aware. I have escalated this report to the IDE team—no details are available yet. The ifort is the 2021.13 version in the 2024.2 package. The issue is with VS IDE not displaying the correct version for the compilers. We apologize for the inconvenience.
