Dear Fortran enthusiasts,

We are excited to announce the release of Fortran-lang stdlib v0.8.0!

This release brings substantial enhancements to linear algebra, core utilities, and other algorithms, alongisde various fixes and build improvements.

:glowing_star: What’s New in v0.8.0

Advanced Linear Algebra:

  • Matrix inverse, Cholesky factorization, QR factorization, Schur decomposition, and Moore-Penrose pseudo-inverse in the linalg module.

  • Vector norms, matrix norms, and generalized eigenvalue problem support.

  • Sparse matrice support.

Support for 80-bit extended precision and enhanced BLAS/LAPACK integration (ilp64).

New Utilities and API Refinements:

  • Expanded system interfaces (OS queries, null device, directory utilities) and improved file I/O helpers (get_cwd, set_cwd, etc.).

  • Enhanced sorting procedures.

Modularization of stdlib

Additional improvements

  • Better build and CI workflows, updated documentation metadata, and numerous bug fixes.

Amazing work of the stdlib team! Great to see the Fortran Standard Library grow to high software production and scientific standards, glad to be part of this effort. A huge heads up to @jeremie.vandenplas, @hkvzjal, @loiseaujc, @fxm, and all older and newer contributors (the list is long, like the DOI shows).
