The TR is essentially a set of library proposals that are 
implementable against C++ 98/03. The TR is now closed. But we are also 
working hard at extending C++. The result of this effort will become 
C++ 200x (2007/8?). In C++ '0x there will be core language extensions 
(Maybe, concepts, template aliases, variadic templates, etc.) in 
addition to library enhancements. This page has some links discussing 
the scope of the TR. There will probably be more information about the 
evolution activities in the post Kona mailing.
