Oct 1, 2025October 2025 (2025-10) monthly summary for cplusplus/draft. Focused on stabilizing lexical analysis by deferring whitespace handling until after preprocessing, delivering consistent tokenization across token streams, and fixing inconsistencies introduced by preprocessing directives. The change ensures whitespace is insignificant after preprocessing, improving determinism and downstream tooling compatibility.

Jul 1, 20252025-07 Monthly Summary — C++ Draft (cplusplus/draft): Documentation-focused sprint delivering terminology standardization and readability enhancements across the standard draft. Core outcomes include alignment of translation unit terminology with P2996, clarified language in lex.tex, and restructured guidance for preprocessing directives, together with strengthened linkage terminology. Notable changes and cleanup: - Removed last reference to instantiation units in lex.separate - Redistributed second comment in lex.separate for clarity - Ensured recommended practice sections start as their own paragraphs in cpp.error - Confirmed all names have explicit linkage in basic.link

Mar 1, 2025March 2025 monthly summary for cplusplus/draft: Focused on documentation indexing and cross-reference improvements in the Draft C++ Standard, enabling clearer navigation and more reliable tooling. Implemented targeted documentation indexing for memory_order, program linking, and Unicode properties, and laid foundations for downstream tooling and conformance checks. Introduced std::hive as a recognized sequence container with indexing support and enhanced lexer indexing to support string concatenation mapping. Indexed Unicode properties XID_Start and XID_Continue to improve identifier handling and internationalization coverage. These changes collectively improve documentation quality, standards conformance, and developer productivity across the repository.
