Herb Sutter reports that the ballot closed on Friday.

From the announcement:

We will perform some final editorial tweaks, on the order of fixing a few spelling typos and accidentally dropped words, and then transmit the document to ISO for publication this year as the brand new International Standard ISO/IEC 14882:2014(E) Programming Language C++, a.k.a. C++14."

    A big win: You don't have to start from scratch writing linked list and dictionary code for your structs. I used C++ on a project that would have used C otherwise, just to get the standard containers - after a decade and a half of using Java, I wasn't about to start writing data structures from scratch. C++ saves a ton of programmer time with containers, iterators, etc.
