I have heard that g95 is no longer active. Which compiler is now the appropriate one to use (I would be grateful for an up-to-date overview)
As of 2010-12-29, the project appears to be dead. There were no updates to the project’s blog since the middle of August 2010 and rumors of Andy Vaught’s move to competing compiler vendor PathScale have been going around1, but nothing has been confirmed. [1]
gfortran however is still regularly updated, and I see questions regarding it popping up regularly in here.
My personal opinion, regards g95, is that it’s just a temporary setback, and that it will be continually developed. I know a few contributors, and although they have no say on the matter, it is a general opinion that this is just a temporery setback until a new “leader” pops up or Vaught speaks up.
