[AVAILABLE NOW! Intel® Software Development Tools 2024.2 - Intel Community](https://community.intel.com/t5/Intel-Fortran-Compiler/AVAILABLE-NOW-Intel-Software-Development-Tools-2024-2/m-p/1610017)

- Stay at the forefront of parallel programming with our ongoing conformance enhancements for the latest OpenMP standards, including 5.x and the forthcoming 6.0. With this Intel® **Fortran Compiler release** you can now specify OpenMP 5.1 THREAD\_LIMIT on TEAMS and TARGET constructs to better manage thread usage, and OpenMP\* 5.2 enhancements like COPYPRIVATE and NOWAIT on construct beginnings, as well as an updated LINEAR clause syntax for more precise control. And with OpenMP TR12, the LOOP directive is now applicable to **DO CONCURRENT loops** , paving the way for more powerful loop optimizations.
- The **Intel® Fortran Compiler** adds the -fstrict-overflow and Qstrict-overflow[-] options to instruct the Fortran compiler to optimize under the assumption that integer operations won’t overflow. For applications that rely on integer overflow behavior, the -fnostrict-overflow option ensures correct functionality.
