  1. The Big Compiler Directing Facility (CDF) push for #gcobol was merged into GCC Tuesday. Fixes a lot of niggling problems. GCC 17 is shaping up to be a great gcobol release. We'd love folk to pick up the tip of the spear and let us know how it works for them!

  2. We publish develoment packages built when code is merged into our master+cobol branch. Each package (generally) contains fixes and improvements. Bob did a rework of "line sequential" files (Linux text files) with dramatic improvement in many of our tests. Many other improvements: comparisons, ADD 1 TO COBOL (optimizing the common case), MOVE (coming soon). Ubuntu 22.04 for now, more coming! #cobol #gcobol. #cobolworx

  3. Such fun collecting bug reports from two places, purging dumps, and verifying the reports a) are still valid b) are feature requests for “Someday Maybe”, or c) not valid. A couple of us are a day in and are just getting started. #gcobol, #cobol #cobolworx #itsjustwork ®.

  4. gcobol-17 performane work: "ADD 1 TO A." challenge. Why? Many possible data formats for A (encoding, sign, decimal positions, alphameric formatted, ...).

  5. Still a long way out for Carolina Codes! in mid-August. Their team is hard at work on the usual boring prep. It's a GREAT small polyglot get together!

  6. Free COBOL to Linux support. Have they asked you to convert #cobol applications to AWS or Containers? Reach out for help. #cobolworx #gnucobol #gcobol

  7. GCC has released Release Candidate 1 for GCC 16. The final release objective is for late April or May. GCC COBOL (gcobol) 16 is included in the release with many fixes and improvements. #cobol #gcobol #gcc #cobolworx

  8. Announcement: COBOLworx would be happy to support anyone working on moving COBOL applications from IBM's z/OS COBOL or Rocket Software COBOL to GnuCOBOL or GCC COBOL. Free until it becomes a "project".

  10. #gcobol looks like it doesn't not have a c-transpilation layer. But I could be reading the docs wrong.
