are gfortran and g95 both still supported?

Question

I have heard that g95 is no longer active. Which compiler is now the appropriate one to use (I would be grateful for an up-to-date overview)

Answer 1

As of 2010-12-29, the project appears to be dead. There were no updates to the project's blog since the middle of August 2010 and rumors of Andy Vaught's move to competing compiler vendor PathScale have been going around1, but nothing has been confirmed. [1]

gfortran however is still regularly updated, and I see questions regarding it popping up regularly in here.

My personal opinion, regards g95, is that it's just a temporary setback, and that it will be continually developed. I know a few contributors, and although they have no say on the matter, it is a general opinion that this is just a temporery setback until a new "leader" pops up or Vaught speaks up.

Answer 2

As of 2017 G95 has been essentially dead for many years with just a few small updates in recent years which did not contain any new features.

It still continues to be a useful compiler if your program does not use too many modern (2003 and beyond) Fortran features.

The last update on the website is dated "Feb 17" without year and claims to be a major overhaul of coarrays (whir are not that important to most users). The missing year seems to be 2013 (after checking archive.org).
