"On Monday, the ISO C++ committee held its third full-committee
(plenary) meeting of the pandemic and adopted a few more features and
improvements for draft C++23."

"The next tentatively planned ISO C++ face-to-face meeting is February
2022 in Portland, OR, USA. (Per our C++23 schedule,
https://wg21.link/p1000
this is the “feature freeze” deadline for design-approving new features
targeting the C++23 standard, whether the meeting is physical or
virtual.) Meeting in person next February continues to look promising –
barring unexpected surprises, it’s possible that by that time most ISO
C++ participating nations will have been able to resume local
sports/theatre/concert events with normal audiences, and removed travel
restrictions among each other, so that people from most nations will be
able to participate at an in-person meeting. But we still have to wait
and see… we likely won’t know for sure until well into the autumn, and
so we’re still calling this one “tentative” for now. You can find a list
of our meeting plans on the Upcoming Meetings page."

Someone here was noting that there does not seem to be much happening
with C++. Herb Sutter begs to differ ! The list looks fairly technical
rather than broad scoping changes.
