Check out 
http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/bk01pt01ch01.html#manual.intro.status.standard.200x 
for library status and http://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.3/cxx0x_status.html for 
core language status.

Although I know we have initializer lists, auto keyword, and a lot of 
other things.  In other words, I think the language status is better 
than it looks on the website.  I know lambdas and concepts aren't in 4.4 
which is feature complete now.
