The following describes the most significant changes which
occurred in the AST library between versions V8.0.5 and V8.1.0:
- The configure script has a new option “–without-fortran” that allows
AST to be built in situations where no Fortran compiler is available. The
resulting library has no Fortran interface and so cannot be used within
Fortran applications. Also, the link scripts do not attempt to include the
fortran runtime libraries.
