Quantities and units on the road to C++29
Everything this series showed is also a proposal: P3045, Quantities and units library, targets C++29 with mp-units as its reference implementation, led by Mateusz Pusz of Gdansk, an ISO C++ committee voting member since 2017. The series finale looks at what standardization takes, and at the Gdansk author behind the proposal.
Who gets to say a feature is not ready
Contracts are in the C++26 working draft. The committee voted against removing them, decisively.

The August 2026 C++ mailing, and the fight over contracts
Forty-eight papers, and a dozen of them are the same argument.

Plus profiles, a reflection paper from Barry Revzin, and the usual crop of ranges additions.
