C++ standards

The first version of C++ standards, ISO/IEC 14882, was published in 1998 and updated in 2003. These version of C++ are informally known as C++98 and C++03 respectively. Since then C++ standards community is working on new standards for C++ that includes enhancements in core language and extension of C++ standard library. Since this standard is not yet finalized, it is commonly addressed as C++0x. The standard's committee is planning to finalize the standards and release the new standard for C++ in next year.
