A new version of Sun Studio Express is now available for
downlond from Sun's website. The main new feature added
to Sun Fortran for this release is support for most of
OpenMP 3.0. See the README for details. The URL for
the download is

I've had the recent disappointment of finding out that
sun studio 12 does not work on opensolaris.

Sun Studio Express has been tested with OpenSolaris. It
does require the new packing system to be used when
installing on OpenSolaris.

The version numbers seem to change rather frequently with
Sun products. I hope that indicates progress.

I do too. As I said in my original posting, in this release
we added support for most of OpenMP 3.0. I hope that counts
as progress.

What remains for Sun's compiler for f03 compliance?

We have a lot left to do. The x86 port followed by the Linux
port took time that could have gone into work on Fortran 2003
features. Even today, we hear from people who would rather we
extend the number of platforms we support instead of working
on new features. MacOS, Windows, and the BSDs have all been
suggested. Just supporting the many flavors of Linux takes
a lot of effort.
