• OMNI Compiler submodule now pointing to omni-compiler/xcodeml-tools@3bbc8ec4caa31113a7f67ae7371e678c28d613fc
• Added support for NAG compiler
• Various bug fixes

• Serialization is now disabled by default.
• Driver: Add option sca_forward_update_disabled to switch globally updates.
• Driver: Add option sca_forward_update_direction to fine tuned updates.
• Driver: Add option sca_serialization_enabled_direction to fine tuned serialization.

• beta serialization support for expand and sca elemental directives.
  • Support Serialbox 2 at the moment (https://github.com/eth-cscs/serialbox2)
• SCA: support for transformation in ELEMENTAL function/subroutine for GPU target
• low-level: block directive like loop-hoist can now be nested on the same depth.
• driver: _CRAYFTN macro is passed directly when Cray preprocessor is used.
• OMNI Compiler submodule now pointing to omni-compiler/xcodeml-tools@772cf79077ac5f04cfc204fc7e0b53755a362d8b
