(It was informally called C++0x but is now published and often
referred to as C++11, but calling it C++0x11 makes no sense.)

Since you suggest Boost as an alternative I assume you are only
talking about the new library classes (since that's all Boost
provides).  The library features are almost complete:

There is more work to be done for the core language features:
