Hello!
Three years (and multiple release candidates without a final version)=20
after GnuCOBOL 2.2 the GnuCOBOL developers are proud to announce the=20
formal release of GnuCOBOL 3.1.2.
What is GnuCOBOL
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
GnuCOBOL is a free, modern COBOL compiler.
It translates COBOL into intermediate C and compiles the code using a=20
native C compiler (preferably GCC, but not limited to it).
More information about GnuCOBOL can be found at
https://www.gnu.org/software/gnucobol/
Noteworthy changes
=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
The amount of features are too much to note, but you can skip over the=20
attached NEWS file to investigate them, here are some of the highlights:
Huge improvements for compatibility to different COBOL dialects, better=20
error handling and adjustable exceptions per COBOL 2002; more modern=20
format for diagnostic messages (especially useful when used in an=20
integrated development environment possible in Emacs, Vim, VSCodium and=20
others) and improved source-level debugging.
Shipped with 3.0-rc1 already:
=C2=A0 XML GENERATE and JSON GENERATE
=C2=A0 REPORT WRITER module
=C2=A0 sparse and split key support
GnuCOBOL 3.x keeps full compatibility to GnuCOBOL 2.2, you can therefore=20
use old COBOL modules without recompile, if needed,

=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D=3D
Official source kits can be downloaded from

but we suggest to use a mirror a nearby mirror for higher
download bandwidth:

to offer to the GNU project as a GNU package,
