January 2025: Focused improvements to intrinsic handling, test coverage, and CI reliability for lfortran/lfortran. Delivered substantive enhancements to the Fortran intrinsic handling (including 'intrinsic' attribute resolution, intrinsic types such as 'dble', 'float', 'dfloat', 'shifta', and ABI handling for execute_command_line), accompanied by expanded tests for attributes, fixtures, and FLUSH, plus a robust Findloc intrinsic upgrade supporting complex-valued arguments, multi-dimensional shapes, and regression-tested integration. Updated LLVM compatibility documentation to reflect support for LLVM v10–v19. Strengthened the CI/build system (find_package-based libunwind usage, dependency-visibility fixes, and tarball-based CI artifact workflow). Temporarily disabled a problematic Fortran backend test to stabilize and accelerate test runs. These changes collectively improve language feature parity, test reliability, and release readiness, delivering business value through faster iteration, more reliable builds, and broader LLVM compatibility.
