Since I won't be on the PTP monthly call next week, here's a status
update for Photran.
- Photran is ready for a final Helios build. Our part of the
N&N wiki page is up to date. We are using message bundles and
support Unicode (in Fortran comments, the only place where it makes
sense). There are some areas where we aren't totally Helios-compliant
(e.g., we haven't done accessibility testing), but message bundles and
Unicode support were the most intrusive changes, and they're done.
- We have six undergrads working on Photran this summer at UIUC.
I'll post to photran-dev as we nail down their plans. Three (Rui,
Esfar, and Ashley) have started so far and have been doing excellent
work.
- Mariano Mendez (one of Alejandra Garrido's students at the
University of La Plata) is working on several refactorings for
modernizing old Fortran code, including conversion from fixed to free
form. He is also maintaining http://www.fortranrefactoring.com.ar
which is tracking the status of refactorings in Photran. (I think he
plans to publicize that soon...)
- I am updating Bugzilla priorities to correspond to Photran 7
(next year's release). At the moment, here are my three highest and
most immediate priorities:
