The latest (I believe) is dated 2002 but will certainly be getting 
updated to test Ada2005. See http://www.ada-auth.org/acats.html

All compiler vendors claim some level of conformance and some publish 
their results. Also, all compiler vendors will have a large number of 
suplimentary tests of there own. These tend to include propriatory code 
from customers, so usually aren't published.
