The upcoming C++ revision, C++0x has been delayed and is now scheduled for release somewhere in the 2010′s, thus effectively becoming C++1x.

Here’s a link to an article published in Dr. Dobbs Journal by C++’s creator Bjarne Stroustrup explaining why (page 3).

I don’t think anyone is really surprised with the delay as the new standard would lift C++ up to a more modern level in order compete with contemporary programming languages, thereby implementing much addendum. The list of new features and STL additions is certainly impressive and when C++0x, er, C++1x is released, we’ll probably all need to brush up on our C++ skills.
