• Fortran 2008 z%re and z%im for complex z.
  
• Fortran 2008 Standard intrinsic HYPOT(X,Y).
  
• Fortran 2008 FINDLOC (but not KIND and BACK arguments).
  
• Fortran 2003 Allocate on assignment for CHARACTER variables.
  
• Fortran 2003 Allocate on assignment for PACK and RESHAPE intrinsics.
  
• Cast to CHARACTER(LEN=n) or to REAL within an array constructor.
  
• Fortran 2003 SOURCE keyword for the ALLOCATE statement (arrays only).
  
• ClearWin+: scaling option added to %th
  
• ClearWin+: SET_CONTROL_TEXT@ allows the setting of placeholder text in a text control
  
• ClearWin+: %pr has been added as an alternative way to provide placeholder text
