[I realize it's almost six months later. There was a thread about the MinGW binaries, but the announcement below about the source never made it to this group.]

Begin forwarded message:

Date: Fri, 28 Jul 2023 21:19:00 +0200
From: Simon Sobisch <simonsobisch@gnu.org>
To: gnucobol-users@gnu.org
Subject: GnuCOBOL 3.2 Release

The release of GnuCOBOL 3.2 is finally available.

You can find the source downloads as always on gnu.org and on the SourceForge mirror:

https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnucobol/gnucobol-3.2-rc2.tar.lz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnucobol/gnucobol-3.2-rc2.tar.gz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnucobol/gnucobol-3.2-rc2.tar.xz
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnucobol/gnucobol-3.2-rc2.tar.bz2
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/gnucobol/gnucobol-3.2-rc2_win.7z

https://sourceforge.net/projects/gnucobol/files/gnucobol/3.2/

The changes from GnuCOBOL 3.1 to 3.2 are _huge_ but the highlights are:

* improved dialect handling including changed defaults to better match
the selected dialect (see NEWS if you compile with any -std to know
more about the implications), a complete new dialect GCOS and support
for more COBOL statements, intrinsic functions and syntax from both
"old" and new dialects

* highly improved run-times for several statements, along with
less memory usage, especially if runtime checks are enabled

* fileio changes to support LINE-SEQUENTIAL per COBOL2023 and runtime
options to change the way files are handled, see NEWS and runtime.cfg

* improvements for source-level debugging via GDB and coredump support

* improvements for reproducible builds

Happy COBOL hacking,
Simon Sobisch

Some people remember stout resistance to the 1985 Standard still showing
up six years later. You're doing quite nicely, Mr Lambert.
