Also, what and where is the most current version of the draft standard? I
have the apr-95 version.  [Moderator's note: see questions 7-9 of the
FAQ list. -fjh.]

Also, I just picked up "The Draft Standard C++ Library" by Plauger and
he mentions the the header files:
  <bits> <bitstring> <dynarray> <ptrdynarray>

may be replaced by the STL.  Has this happened??

This same question recently cropped up on a mailing list I use (the
Association of C & C++ Users' general discussion list). I (perhaps
uncharitably) suggested that the poster join the ANSI X3J16 committee or
their local (i.e., national) standards panel if they are non-American.
However, it really is the best way to stay current.

As for changes relative to the Annotated Reference Manual, I'm going to
plug my pages, see below (if the moderators let me :-)

[ sure, why not? -moderator ]

My pages aren't
perfect and need updating to cover the last few meetings but they might
help you. It is my intention to bring them up to date soon and keep them
so.

I am unable to find anywhere a list of the changes to C++ that have been
made in the Draft Standard (relative to Stroustrup 2nd edition, for
example).  The Draft Standard I accessed on the web had a "diff" section at
the end of the document, but it summarised differences only from Release 1,
and those that were listed did not seem any different from Release 2.

I feel like I am not getting something obvious.  Lots of people on this
group seem quite familiar with the Draft Standard, and what new things have
been added to it.  Where do they get this info?  By wading through the
draft, and manually comparing it with Stroustrup 2?

See the comp.std.c++ FAQ list, referenced below, especially questions
7 through 10.
