TR1 (C++ Standard)
-
Thought CPians might be interested in the future of some of the boost www.boost.org[^] libraries, which are being considered in a technical report for the next Committee meeting. http://std.dkuug.dk/jtc1/sc22/wg21/docs/library_technical_report.html[^] Below is a message with a bit more information.

Ah! The committee needs to do some communicating. So...

For this Technical Report, the cutoff date has already passed. So except for two or three proposals still in the pipeline, the content of this first Library TR are firming up. Of the 12 proposals accepted so far, 10 grew out of the Boost libraries. (One Boost library, static assert, is also likely to become part of C++, but as a core language feature rather than part of the library.) --Beman Dawes
