Quoting again =P (from Wikipedia):
In their March 2011 meeting, the ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG21 C++ Standards Committee voted C++0x (N3290) to Final Draft International Standard (FDIS) status. This means that this final draft, dated 11 April 2011, is ready for review and approval by the ISO; the final specification is expected to be published sometime in mid-2011. To be able to finish closer to schedule, the Committee decided to focus its efforts on the solutions introduced up until 2006 and ignore newer proposals.
I still don't know if this is good or bad news. Probably both.

I'm too lazy lately, so I will just quote the Upstream Tracker site:
Backward binary compatibility testing for C and C++ shared libraries on x86
This service is aimed on analyzing of the C and C++ libraries evolution. It is looking for new releases of various libraries and checking them for backward binary compatibility. The web-service is generally intended for operating system maintainers to help in updating libraries and for software developers interested in ensuring backward binary compatibility of the API.
A really nice service. They are monitoring 286 libraries (at the time of writing) and you can add more for free.
