Fpm version 0.10.0 released
- 08 January 2024
- Category: release
The latest release of the Fortran Package Manager (FPM) showcases a range of
updates geared towards enhancing functionality and user experience.
Key improvements include significant advancements in MPI support,
now allowing the usage of MPI modules in metapackages.
On the command line interface, a --dry-run option for fpm publish has been
added, allowing users to simulate the publishing process. This release also
brings various bug fixes and performance improvements. For a full list of
changes please see below.
Fpm version 0.8.1 released
- 11 April 2023
- Category: release
This release introduces a hotfix for the automated dependency tree feature introduced in v0.8.0. Fpm now restored backward-compatible dependency priority, which ensures that, whenever different versions of the same dependency are found down the dependency tree, the first and foremost is used. Unnecessary dependency updates are also shed from the build process.
Fpm version 0.8.0 released
- 07 April 2023
- Category: release
This release introduces support for enabling and disabling language features in fpm, such as implicit typing or default source form. By default, fpm now tries to disable implicit typing rules, implicit external interfaces and assumes the source form is always free. The options can be overwritten in the manifest for each project.
Fpm version 0.7.0 released
- 26 October 2022
- Category: release
This release introduces preprocessor support in the fpm.toml manifest, allowing
for preprocessor macros, file suffixes and directories where the preprocessor should run.
This feature was implemented as part of Arteev Raina’s Google Summer of Code 2022 project.
Furthermore, fpm has now the ability to compile C++ source files in addition to Fortran and C.
Finally, the ability to define compiler profiles in the fpm.toml manifest has been added,
although the profile settings are not currently used in the build process.
Fpm version 0.6.0 released
- 19 June 2022
- Category: release
This release introduces a better visualization for the build output, compiler output is only shown on error to keep the standard output clean for successful builds. Furthermore, fpm can now detect unused modules and avoids compiling modules that are not needed for an application, which improves the compilation speed with large dependencies like stdlib. When creating a new project with fpm the author information are now taken from the git configuration to avoid using placeholders in the manifest. Several more bug fixes and plenty of improvements went into this version as well.
Fpm version 0.5.0 released
- 21 November 2021
- Category: release
We have a large number of bug fixes in this release and made plenty of improvements to the tooling around fpm, like the continuous delivery and the Windows installer. New features include the possibility for better compiler/linker selection and the improved build backend (test are only build when needed, link dependencies are properly tracked).
