It's been heads down. Work on COBOL for the Gnu Compiler Collection (GCC), or `gcobol`, has been going on for almost two years. That has consumed all the energy of the COBOL team. There is a gcobol section on COBOLworx.com and a current development version of the compiler is available for Ubuntu 20.04 (and the equivalent Debian version). It generally works, passes allmost all of the interesting "NIST-85" tests, and is worth a try.
We're turning back to GnuCOBOL since the Project recently released 3.2 with significant improvements. The binary installers for GnuCOBOL 3.2 are up on COBOLworx.com. Work on the adaptations to the debugger (`cbl-gdb`) has begun but it will be a while. So it won't be updated for a bit.
Notice that I'm @Marty@symas.social over there.
We recently Released binaries for OpenLDAP Releases 2.5.15 and 2.6.5. Mostly bug fixes with a few weird "crashers". Took longer than we hoped because we tried to move up to OpenSSL 3. But Cyrus SASL and OpenSSL 3 don't currently play well (deprecated ciphers expected by SASL). So there we are.
