- SLINK64 now has a rlo command. This is for DLLs and delays the binding until the first call of a routine in the DLL.
- SLINK now reports a clear error report when supplied with 64 bit object code.
- The FTN95 option /SIZE32 has been renamed /SIZE_ISO and /ISO now implies /SIZE_ISO.
- A new FTN95 option /ECHO_OPTIONS has been added.
- The standard intrinsics SIZE, UBOUND and LBOUND now have an optional KIND argument.
- A new routine WINSTYLE@ has been added to ClearWin+.
- A new format code %wi has be added to ClearWin+. This allows you to interactively design a window in order to fix the exact position and size of each control.
- A new format code %mb has been added to ClearWin+. This "multi-button" toolbar provides an alternative to %tb and %ib that is simpler to set up and has more functionality.

- Two new routines GETTEXTSIZE@ and GETFONTSIZE@ have been added to ClearWin+.
- The 64 bit FTN95 runtime checking (/CHECK) now traps recursive function calls for functions that have not been given the RECURSIVE attribute.
- A new routine SET_MAXIMUM_IO_BUFFER_SIZE@ has been added to the library
- The native %pl has been improved.
Outline summary of bugs that have been fixed:
- Microsoft changed some of the .NET debugger interfaces in Visual Studio 2013 that meant it was impossible to see COMMON blocks. This has been 'worked around' in dbk_link.
- Various issues relating to using INTEGER*2 as the default integer kind have been fixed.
- Some false /CHECK error reports that occurred when passing functions as arguments have been fixed.
- The logical IF statement was not working for 64 bit code and LOGICAL*2 variables.
- A regression relating to "integer,pointer::j=>NULL()" in 64 bit code has been fixed.
- A problem with INTEGER*8 variables in /64 common blocks has been fixed.
- A failure with list-directed input of logical data has been fixed.
- A failure with the /64 addressing of TYPE members of a TYPE has been fixed.
- READFA@ was not processing end-of-line characters correctly for 64 bits.
- SLINK64 was failing with insufficient memory when building very large projects.
- The format descriptor F0.0 was not giving the correct results.
- SDBG64 has had various fixes and enhancements
New Features:
- The FTN95 option /CHECK is now available in 64-bit mode.
- The FTN95 option /OPTIMISE is now available in 64-bit mode but is still under development.
- 64-bit /CHECK includes a compile time check on winio@ arguments - that they have the correct type.
Initially this feature is only available with /64 /CHECK.
- SET_TRAP@, TRAP_EXCEPTION@, LABEL@ and JUMP@ are now available in 64-bit mode.
- A new FTN95 option /BINARY_FOLDER has been added. This allows the user to specify the path for the object
code (for example .obj or .dbk file). It provides an alternative to specifying the full path via /BINARY.
- ClearWin+: A native form of the winio@ graph control %pl is now available. See cwplus.enh for details.
- ClearWin+: Functions like COPY_TO_CLIPBOARD@ now have 64 bit equivalents COPY_TO_CLIPBOARD64@. See cwplus.enh for details.
- ClearWin+: The subroutine GET_FILTERED_FILE@ and the function GET_MULTIPLE_FILENAMES@ have been updated. See cwplus.enh for details
- ClearWin+: A tilde modifier can now be used with %ga in which case the list of "state controls" is replaced by a single array.
- ClearWin+: A tilde modifier can now be used with %ps in which case the list of "sheet handles" is replaced by a single array.
- ClearWin+: A new routine PROGRESS_BAR@ has been added that can be called before each call to DISPLAY_DIB_BLOCK@
- ClearWin+: A window with a %LW control variable CTRL has CTRL initially set to -1. Setting CTRL to zero or a positive
value causes the window to close when WINDOW_UPDATE@(CTRL) is called. A new alternative is to set CTRL to -2
before a call to WINDOW_UPDATE@(CTRL) and this causes the window to close after a short delay. This can be used
to seamlessly modify a window by closing the window and then recreating it with similar features and the same
position and size.
- ClearWin+: CLEARWIN_INFO@("EXTENDED_ERROR") has been added. It provides the result of a call to the Windows API function
CommDlgExtendedError().
- A new function called ProcessMemoryInfo@ has been added to the library. This provides easy access to the
Windows API function GetProcessMemoryInfo.
- Microsoft Visual Studio 2015 plug-in.
Outline summary of bugs that have been fixed:
- SDBG64 has had many issues fixed and features added
- A regression that limited a 64-bit ALLOCATE statement to 2GB size blocks has been fixed

the final character in 64 bit mode.
- Problems calling DLLs that reside above 4GB in 64-bit mode have been fixed
New Features:
- FTN95 provides some Fortran 2003/2008 features that required the command line option /F2K. These features are now
provided by default. In order to restrict the code to Fortran 95 use /-F2K.
- CODE/EDOC is now available in 64-bit mode
- The following Fortran 2008 standard intrinsics are now available:
ERF,ERFC,ERFC_SCALED,GAMMA,LOG_GAMMA,BESSEL_J0,BESSEL_J1,BESSEL_Y0,BESSEL_Y1,BESSEL_JN,BESSEL_YN.
See for example http://fortranwiki.org/fortran/show/bessel_j0.
- _WIN32 and _WIN64 are predefined for use in conditional compilation CIF. For example, the CIF(_WIN64) block of
code will be compiled when the options /64 /fpp are applied on the FTN95 command line. This is particularly
useful for CODE/EDOC blocks that require conditional compilation when implemented for both 32 and 64 bit code.
In other contexts, an equivalent run-time condition is "IF(KIND(1_7) == 4)THEN".
- The following undocumented Win32 routines have now been ported to 64 bits: FPOSLONG@, RFPOSLONG@ and FPOS_EOFLONG@.
These are similar to FPOS@, RFPOS@ and FPOS_EOF@ but take INTEGER*8 position arguments. Note that other arguments
are still INTEGER*2.
- ClearWin+ can now be used to generate SVG files by calling OPEN_SVG@ before drawing the graphics (this is
analogous to generating printer output). SVG is a vector graphics format.
Outline summary of bugs that have been fixed:
- Compile time array bounds check failure has been elevated from WARNING to ERROR when using /CHECK or /BOUNDS_CHECK

- GET_DIB_SIZE@ when used with USE_GDIPLUS_IMAGE_FILES@ was giving a SUCCESS report when attempting to access a non-existent file.
- Error number 612 was being appied out of context
- INTENT(OUT) arguments with TYPE initialisation were causing runtime failures when OPTIONAL and not present
- The WHERE construct was sometimes failing when the body contained an assignment to a temporary array

- NAMELIST was failing when used in an internal (CONTAINS) subprogram
- In a certain context a USEd MODULE user TYPE was falsely reported as not being defined
- A stack leak was causing WRITE statements involving multiple calls to TRIM to fail with /FULL_UNDEF
- Personal Edition did not allow /64 compile time switch
- ClearWin+: %ac[Shift+Tab] was not responding as expected.
- ClearWin+: A standard callback SETF has been added. This is equivalent to the standard callback SET but takes double precision values
- ClearWin+: The property sheet control %ps was not working correctly when [hot_track] or [ms_style] was used together with a callback function
- ClearWin+: %ss and browse_for_folder@ were not working for 64-bit applications.
New Features:
- FTN95 can now generate 64 bit executables and DLLs. For details see the 64 bit release notes.
- The display resulting from the FTN95 command line option /CONFIG has been simplified and now only edits the global FTN95 configuration file. Use a new option /CFG to edit the local FTN95 configuration file
- ClearWin+: A new function called GlobalMemoryStatus@ has been added to the library. This provides easy access to the Windows API function GlobalMemoryStatusEx.
- ClearWin+ now makes use of the "DPI awareness" features first available with Windows 8.1. This means that, where possible, ClearWin+ will take advantage of the Windows API features designed to handle high DPI display settings which otherwise can lead to clipped text and blurry images.
New Features:
- A new KIND value has been introduced for integers. INTEGER(KIND=7) has the size of an address which depends on the type of the executable (32 bit or 64 bit). The same kind value is to be used when /ALT_KINDS is applied
- ClearWin+: GET_DIB_SIZE@, GET_DIB_BLOCK@ and IMPORT_IMAGE@ have been extended in order to provide access to a wider range of image files via the Microsoft GDI+ library.
- ClearWin+: A tilde modifier (~) can now be used with %wp with the result that plain text placed on top of the wallpaper will be transparent. In other words the text will have the wallpaper as background.
- ClearWin+: The previously undocumented function browse_for_folder1@ can be used to open a dialog box with the option to create a new folder.
Outline summary of bugs that have been fixed:
- FTN95 was calling the wrong library function when the standard intrinsic EXP was used with an extended precision (KIND=3) argument.

- The REC specifier was allowed for READ and WRITE statements on a unit opened for sequential access.
- Writes starting with '1' on units opened with FORM='PRINTER' didn't output a form feed.
- A certain PARAMETER initialisation was failing with /ALT_KINDS.
- A star-sized array argument in an internal function was giving a false run-time bounds check error.
- The SHAPE intrinsic is now available within a PARAMETER initialisation.
- Arrays declared with the PARAMETER attribute where not protected from run-time changes.
- ClearWin+: %ac[Shift+Ins] was over-riding the typing of an underscore character in an edit box. This has been fixed.
- ClearWin+: %dr (dropped files) has been tidied up so that the clearwin_string@ data is correctly reset and a crash is avoided.
- ClearWin+: Various reported problems when using UTF8 characters have been resolved.
- ClearWin+: Previously undocumented functions set_integer_limits@ and set_float_limits@ have been improved. These routines correspond to %il and %fl respectively and allow changes to be made at run time.

- The /ISO command line option previously did not generate an error report when a TYPE or PARAMETER within
an INTERFACE was inherited from the host.
- Using /UNDEF with certain CHARACTER variable members of a user TYPE was causing an access violation.
- The intrinsic function ISHFT was producing incorrect results for INTEGER*2 arguments.
- Some duplicated double precision value arguments where not being passed correctly.

- INTENT(OUT) was not working correctly for array arguments with default TYPE initialisation.
- "USE mod ONLY: aa=>bb" was giving incorrect results when aa was also declared in mod.
- ClearWin+: %th[ms_style] did not allow multiline tooltips. This has been fixed.
- ClearWin+: A certain user callback associated with %ls was found to raise an underflow exception under Windows 7. This has been fixed.
New Features:
- ClearWin+ is now available in the form of a 64 bit DLL called clearwin64.dll for use with third party
64 bit compilers. Routines in this library that previously ended with the @ symbol now end with $.
In order to allow parallel development, FTN95 has been extended so that routines such as winio@ can now end
in $ as an alternative to @. Also new standard modules are provided so that all ClearWin+ library routines
for FTN95 can take this alternative form. For further information, search for "64 bit" in ftn95.chm.
- ClearWin+ now accepts UTF-8 encoded character strings.
- EXPORT_IMAGE@ and IMPORT_IMAGE@ now accept .PNG files and resources.
- Four new library routines (START_THREAD@, WAIT_FOR_THREAD@, LOCK@ and UNLOCK@) have been added in order
to initiate and manage Win32 threads.
- The default ClearWin+ colour mode has been changed from "VGA colours" to "RGB colours".
- ClearWin+: A new format code %em has been introduced to allow you to put icons in the left hand column of menus.

- %ob now takes the option [rounded] to provide rounded corners
- clearwin_info@("TOOLTIP_HWND") now returns the HWND for Microsoft style tooltips
- Visual Studio 2012 plugin
Outline summary of bugs that have been fixed:
- Local use of a name that duplicates the name of an intrinsic (e.g. SUM) was confusing the compiler.
- FTN95 was allowing the intrinsic function TRIM to be elemental.
- Regression at FTN95 version 6.0: SIZE(x, dim) was failing for assumed-size arrays.
- FORALL is now allowed to use the same index as an outer DO contsruct.
- /CHECK was giving an access violation at runtime when the FORALL index was passed to it as an argument.
- An exclamation mark in column 73 was giving a false line truncation warning.

New Features:
- A new function GET_WOW_VER@ has been added to be used in place of GET_OS_VER@ in compatibility mode.
- A new FTN95 command line option /DOLLAR_MOD has be added so that certain module names ending with a dollar sign will be treated as system modules.
- FTN95 is now compatible with .NET 4.5 running on Windows 8. Note that all FTN95 generated .NET code must be compiled and linked against version 6.35 or above. Architectural changes in Windows 8 prevent .NET code produced by previous versions of FTN95 from functioning. This includes ftn95lib. It is therefore vital that all Fortran source code is recompiled and linked with version 6.35 and be distributed with an ftn95lib of the same version.
Outline summary of bugs that have been fixed:
Dropped functionality:
- FTN95 will no longer compile and link against .NET 1.1. FTN95 now defaults to .NET 2.0

- Clearwin+: Two new functions have been added to the library as an alternative or addition to %gr[user_surface].
These are CREATE_USER_SURFACE@ and SELECT_USER_SURFACE@. The associated %gr is identified by its Windows handle (see %lc) and
the programmer must store the associated device context and DIB pointer.
CALL CREATE_USER_SURFACE@(width, height, hdc, ptr) !(inputs width and height and returns hdc and ptr - all INTEGERs)
ia = SELECT_USER_SURFACE@(hwnd, hdc, ptr) !(inputs all arguments and returns non-zero value on success)
- Clearwin+: New standard callback HELP_LOOKUP added. This takes two character strings. The first is the full path of a
.CHM help file. The second is the keyword that identifies the topic that is to be displayed. This keyword must be
included in the .HHK file that forms part of a Microsoft project to compile the .CHM file.
Note: HELP_CONTENTS can already be used with .CHM files.

- Assignment to NULL using =>NULL() rather than NULLIFY was failing under .NET.
- MAXLOC and MINLOC intrinsics could not be called directly in order to set an array index.
- For arrays of rank one, MAXLOC and MINLOC now only return a scalar when DIM=1 is an explicit argument.
- SET_SUFFIX@ and SET_SUFFIX1@ were only working correctly for extensions of length three.

- Compiler regression at 6.00: character variable comparision failed when using /full_undef (i.e. /checkmate)
- Long path names could not be used with wild card command line "FTN95 *.f90" etc.
- Pure functions as procedure arguments were constrained to be INTENT(IN) but the standard does not require this.
- FILL@ gave locked register failure with /opt.
