Today Intel(R) Fortran version 2025.2.0 was released.
It is available for download from our product page HERE.
But instead of that download page, I would recommend that you download our Intel® Fortran Essentials package. The Essentials package contains the Fortran compile plus tools you probably want to go along with Fortran. The package contents:
Fortran developers with numeric workloads can use this bundle to compile, debug, and use the most popular performance libraries in the Intel oneAPI HPC Toolkit for Intel CPUs and GPUs.
- Intel® Fortran Compiler
- Intel Distribution for GDB
- Intel MPI Library
- oneMKL

The Release Notes are HERE.
Along with many fixes for customer reported bugs, the highlights for this release include:
New Fortran 2023 features in this release:
- A data component whose type has a coarray potential subobject component may be an array.
- Intrinsic function SELECTED_LOGICAL_KIND has been implemented.
New Features in this release:
- The IEEE_SCALB (X, I) now permits the I argument to be of type real with the same kind type parameter as the X argument (Fortran 2018 interpretation)
- Option assume inline_cloc causes the compiler to generate inline code for the C_LOC function from the intrinsic module procedure ISO_C_BINDING. The default is assume noinline_cloc, which treats C_LOC as a call to an external function.
New OpenMP features in this release:
OpenMP 6.0
- The STRIPE loop transformation construct has been implemented.
- The NOWAIT clause now has an optional do-not-synchronize logical argument.
