Jul 1, 2026

July 2026: Maintained backward compatibility in the LFortran compiler by reverting the strict dummy-argument validation for pure functions. Restored prior argument validation behavior by undoing the change that required INTENT(IN) or VALUE for dummy arguments, removing the semantic error validation logic and tests. The revert was implemented via commit 48897276cb71cb0c38db81803532cc9c221252e1, cancels the previous fix (commit 4414c31016006dd930c20e84e96d84fb01c7338f). This work preserves existing code compatibility and reduces downstream maintenance risk. No new user-facing features this month; primary business value is stability and predictable behavior for existing codebases.

June 2026 (lfortran/lfortran) focused on internal stability improvements and CI reliability to support sustainable releases. No new user-facing features this month; emphasis on stabilizing LLVM code generation for struct handling and updating the CI macOS target to current standards. Key outcomes include restoring stable LLVM code generation for struct handling by reverting problematic changes, and enhancing struct finalization with SSA validation plus simplified pointer extraction for class wrappers. These changes improve stability for non-allocatable string arrays and struct finalizers, reducing regression risk in critical code paths. In CI, the macOS deployment target was upgraded via two commits to align with current standards and ensure builds target supported macOS versions, reducing build failures and improving cross-platform reliability. Overall, these efforts reduce debug time, accelerate release readiness, and demonstrate strong cross-domain capabilities across compiler backends, build pipelines, and version management.
