The August 2026 C++ mailing, and the fight over contracts
Forty-eight papers, and a dozen of them are the same argument. Bjarne Stroustrup and four co-authors want the C++26 contracts design replaced before the final ballot, the P2900 authors have answered, and the committee already voted once against removal. Plus profiles, a reflection paper from Barry Revzin, and the usual crop of ranges additions.
The May 2026 WG21 mailing in five papers (pre-Brno, 116 total)
WG21 dropped the pre-Brno mailing in early May -- 116 papers, the largest pre-meeting mailing since the C++20 design crunch. Five papers are doing the heavy lifting for C++29's safety story (the headline axis named in P5000R1 'Direction for ISO C++29'), plus the coroutines-for-I/O work that finally got first LEWG review on the schedule. This is the table of contents for what wro.cpp will be tracking through to Brno (8-13 June).
