Abstract
The aim of this paper is to summarize the new features of the Fortran 2003 standard (WG5 2004). We take as our starting point Fortran 95 plus the two official extensions (Cohen 2001, Reid 2001) that have been published as Type 2 Technical Reports (TRs). These provide features for
• Allocatable dummy arguments and type components, and
• Support for the five exceptions of the IEEE Floating Point Standard (IEEE 1989) and for other features of this Standard.

The new features of Fortran 2018
The aim of this paper is to summarize the new features of the Fortran standard that is expected to be published in 2018. It was known informally as Fortran 2015 because the choice of features to include was made in 2015, but WG5 has decided to rename it ...
