State of C++ Evolution (after Portland 2006 Meeting)

This paper presents a quick summary of all papers submitted to WG21 for consideration by the Evolution Working Group, with an indication of their progress towards inclusion in the next C++ Standard.

There are no library issue here, unless highlighted by the Registration Document submitted following the Portland meeting. Otherwise this list focuses entirely on changes affecting clauses 1 -> 16.

A note on the timetable

Key to the table

Note that while the deadline for new proposals for C++09 is long past, it is not unusual to split a specific feature out of an existing proposal, to ease their progress. Likewise, existing Core Working Group issues may grow large enough to merit a paper that would not have previously shown on this list.

Proposals in a green font have advanced a category since the last meeting, those in red have moved back, while those in yellow are a new topic since the last version of this list.

Issues with a green background have been highlighted as the features that will be delivered in the next version of the standard in the Registration Document.
