C++11 policy in frameworks?

[Ivan Čukić]

That page was the result of the first discussion we had on C++11.

More recently, there was a discussion on raising MSVC requirement.
And, I'd say it was agreed to raise it to MSVC11 (VS12). At least, it
was green-lighted by Kevin, Milian (I don't recall who else).

I guess I should have updated the wiki afterwards...

The strange thing here is that we don't usually mention clang (and
stdlib versions) since it is considered 'good enough'.

Cheerio,
Ivan

Dying to believe in what you heard
I was staring straight into the shining sun
