Initial release 25 January 2002; 19 years ago ( 2002-01-25 ) Stable release 3.1.2.

Originally designed by Keisuke Nishida, lead development was taken up by Roger While.

Latest developments are now led by Simon Sobisch, Ron Norman, Edward Hart, Sergey Kashyrin and many others.

Keisuke worked as the lead developer until 2005 and version 0.31.

Roger then took over as lead and released OpenCOBOL 1.0 on 27 December 2007.

Work on the OpenCOBOL 1.1 pre-release continued until February 2009.

In May 2012, active development was moved to SourceForge, and the pre-release of February 2009 was marked as a release.

In late September 2013, OpenCOBOL was accepted as a GNU Project, renamed to GNU Cobol, and then finally to GnuCOBOL in September 2014.

Ron Norman has added a Report Writer module as a branch of GnuCobol 2.0, and Sergey Kashyrin has developed a version that uses C intermediates instead of C.

Under UNIX and similar operating systems (such as Linux ) the GNU C compiler is used.

For Windows, Microsofts Visual Studio Express package provides the C compiler.

Lowden and others as each new compiler version is issued and is available at.

Standard tests with make check use Autoconf, ANSI85 testsuite run by make test use Perl scripts.
