C++0x is the working draft of the new C++ programming language standard. Note: C++0x is a new version of the C++ programming language standard. IBM continues to develop and implement the features of the new standard. The implementation of the language level is based on IBM's interpretation of the standard.
C++0x was the working name for the new standard for C++, adding many language features that I'll cover in this series on C++11. In September 2011, C++0x was officially published as the new C++11 standard, and many compilers now provide support for some of the core C++11 features.
auto keyword for variable type inferencing
Lambdas and initializer lists.
Also, the changes to make it easier to eventually bring C++ into a garbage collected model, those seem pretty interesting. Perhaps C++1x will actually bring in garbage collection, but 0x/10 just set things up for the eventuality.
I want Rvalues references.
All the other new features are stuff that we could easily live without(alas features). However the lack of Rvalues in C++ so far has caused hundreds of template library authors to have to "hack" around the broken Rvalue ref issue.
Variadic templates! (Which combined with r-value references gives us perfect forwarding!)
Threads and atomics.
With multicore processors now the norm C++0x should have been C++07.
