This year the new C++ standard will be released under the code name C++0x. Some libraries, such as Boost, have already implemented the new features. And what features they are! Auto-declared variables reduce typing work and syntactic noise. Unicode and threading support address important functionality gaps. Rvalue references and variadic templates facilitate the creation of more efficient, more flexible libraries. The standard library offers smart pointers, new containers, extra algorithms, support for regular expressions and more.

On June 16 2010 Dave Abrahams presented C++0x. Dave has been a member of the C++ standardization committee since 1996 and is a founding member of Boost (the source of most new standard libraries).
