where can I find a list of new features in Fortran2003

| I'm looking for a CONCISE overview of new (and deleted, and obsolescent)
features in 2003. I don't want the draft standard (well, not for this),
but just something like a simple web page (in HTML, not links to
download a huge PDF (or, worse, WORD) document) with a list of the new
features.
Or, if someone knows, then just post the list here.
Does any compiler already support all of Fortran 2003?

maybe in a lab somewhere? as far as I know, NAG is in the lead
featurewise with e.g initial support for «true» object oriented
programming

No. Nag has one or two (depending on how you count) of the major
object-oriented features. It has polymporphism and inheritance.
But it doesn't have type-bound procedures, which I pretty quickly
run into the need for in applying polymorphism in practice. And
it doesn't even have procedure pointers, which could serve in a
pinch as a substitute for type-bound.
F2003 is a pretty big step. There are a whole bunch of other
features that NAG hasn't done yet either. I'd still have to
characterise it as an f95 compiler with a few f2003 features,
even if some of those happen to be major features, rather than
as an almost-f2003 compiler that is missing some.
There are lots of compilers that have added a few f2003 features,
and are in the process of adding more. The C interop stuff is
highly popular for early implementation, as are a few other
things. Some compilers do the IEEE and allocatable TRs, which
sort of count as f2003 features.
John Reid did am extended summary of f2003 new features. I don't
have a handy link in front of me, but it is on the WG5 server and
was also published a few other places. (Almost bound to have
been in one of the issues of the Fortran Journal). I could dig up
a link, but I'm feeling lazy at the momemt.

Reid's paper "The New Features of Fortran 2003" in PDF format is at http://www.kcl.ac.uk/kis/support/ci...id_new_2003.pdf"
Malcolm Cohen's "Sneak P at Fortran 2003 for Quantitative Analysts" is
at

A rather brief summary is contained in Chapter 1 of "Fortran 95/2003
Explained" and that is available as a PDF of only 106kb at www.opu.co.uk.
Not quite what you wanted, but maybe it helps,

I posted a list in February 2004 in a message entitled "Fortran 2003
new features", based on an article by Reid -- see
