GCC 16.1 Released
Richard Biener announces the release of GCC 16.1, which includes several major changes. The C++ frontend now defaults to GNU C++20, with experimental support for C++26 features like Reflection and Contracts. C23 _BitInt support has expanded, and the Fortran coarray implementation now supports shared memory multithreading. The release also introduces an experimental Algol68 frontend and improved diagnostic output, and enhanced LTO capabilities.
