AFAIK, no. Well, there was lib issue 127 (plus a couple of NAD), which
is now part of TC1. There's also at least one core DR related to
auto_ptr, so it can be useful to check both issue lists.

I think you've heard about "auto_ptr update" in relation to Scott
Meyer's MEC++. But that's an update _ to the book _, not to the
standard. You can find it (starting from) here:
