With all the changes being made to the C++ standard it is difficult
for the run of the mill C++ programmer to keep up.

Is there a brief summary of the major features added since 
Templates/Exceptions were added.

What would be ideal would be a list of the new features with a cross
reference to the version when each of the major compiler vendors
implemented that feature. (This user is mainly interested in PC based
compilers).

As you wish:  http://uptown.turnpike.net/~scorf/cplusext.html

Note that templates and exceptions have each bred several 
refinements, resulting in a language far, far more powerful 
than that described in the ARM.  (Member templates, partial
specialization, and function template overloading are the
key refinements.)

Most of the interesting features haven't yet been implemented 
in commercially available compilers.  Still, a checklist sounds 
like a good idea for somebody's web page.
