Such information regarding Fortran and C++ compilers is (presumably) generally because they have just implemented some (new/existing) feature of the language i.e. their product has "grown" in some dimension etc Whereas, Ada has a well recognised standard, the compiler either comforms (in which case it is released and sold) or it doesn't conform (in which case it is not yet on the market :-)). The only thing Ada vendors can "brag" about is either additions wrt the Annexes (which you do see as announcements) or bug fixes (which no-one really wants to noise about anyway :-)).
