How many versions of the C++ Standards are there?

In C there's C89, C99, and C11; what about C++? Is there any upgrade since it came out?

Solution

    • C++98 (ISO/IEC 14882:1998) is the first edition.

    • C++03 (ISO/IEC 14882:2003) is the second edition and often considered a bugfix, but it has many changes.

    • C++11 is the third edition.

    • C++14 is the fourth edition.

    • C++17 is the latest edition (as of 2017).
