The 1998 C++ standard included an extensive library, much of which
could be considered new to C++ developers. In preparation for the next
standard, the standardisation committee has been working on an interim
technical report, TR1, for proposed extensions to the library. Most of
TR1 is derived from libraries and experience in the popular,
peer-reviewed and freely available Boost libraries. There is a good
chance that the features defined in TR1 will appear in the next
standard, and many C++ distributions have started making TR1 library
components available. This session offers a quick tour of the key
features of TR1 and highlight how C++ programmers will be able to take
advantage of them.
