What is the status of C++ TR2 Filesystem library as of last Bristol meeting? Will it be part of C++1Y (C++14?) or is it suspended or are there any known recent comments as of the last three meetings?

    According to http://isocpp.org/std/status, new major libraries will be separate documents, not part of the language standard; so it will be released separately to C++14. It certainly doesn't appear in the latest draft (http://isocpp.org/files/papers/N3797.pdf). – Mike Seymour Nov 01 '13 at 17:42

It has recently been unanimously approved by the ISO committee but did not make it in time for C++14. Though all the TSs (filesytem, library fundamentals, networking, etc.) are expected to be independently available ahead of C++17, I believe the intention is that if they are ready in time, they will be rolled into C++17, as happened with TR1 and C++11.
