-Older versions are available as Fortran 95 [[http://nce.ads.uga.edu/~ignacy/numpub/blupf90/progs/|package]] for download and compilation on Unix systems. Various problems were reported using free Fortran compilers. At this time, the best compiler appears to be from Intel; it is free for noncommercial use in Linux.

+:!: If you cannot find a binary in the main OS folder, check the ''temp'' folder. If a binary is in ''temp'', it means updates are not supported anymore.
+For Windows users: Please install Intel's Redistributable Libraries if you received messages like "The program can't start because libiomp5md.dll is missing from your computer..." on running a program. See [[FAQ.windows|the FAQ page]].
+//**Sources**//
+Old versions of source code for educational purposes are available as Fortran 95 [[http://nce.ads.uga.edu/%7Eignacy/numpub/blupf90/progs/progsf90.tar.gz|package]] for download and compilation on Unix systems. Various problems were reported using free Fortran compilers. File {{ :blupf90_win.zip |blupf90_win.zip}}
 contains Windows executables + GNUPLOT; an included script file sets access to all binaries and the graphing package.

+//**Updates**//
+Since 2020, Intel Fortran compiler has been free to install. To run latest blupf90 programs on your computer, it will require installation of the Fortran libraries including MKL. We have been providing the blupf90 programs compiled with the old Intel Fortran Compiler, but it will be terminated to use the old compiler by the end of June in 2024. We will keep the old versions with no updates for a while. However, we recommend all users to install Intel Fortran Libraries (and MKL) (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/tools/oneapi/fortran-compiler.html#gs.482bvo) to use the updated blupf90 programs.
+In 2024, Intel Fortran Compiler will be changed from ifort to ifx. All our binaries will eventually be compiled by ifx. This transition may take one or two years (2024-2025). It will be recommended to install Intel Fortran Libraries 2024.0 or later versions (https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/release-notes/oneapi-fortran-compiler-release-notes.html).
+The Mac versions may be discontinued in Intel Fortran.
