C++ Docs - ABOUT.md version not current

Hey,

While browsing, I saw that the About section at the C++ track states the newest version would be C++17. I changed it to the following:

The standard for C++ is maintained by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), and the current version of C++ as of May 2025 is C++23 (named not as the 23rd version of C++, but rather signifying that the standard was ratified in 2023).

Is a PR welcome for this minor change or do you prefer to update it yourself?

Thanks in advance.

Hey there,
I’m one of CPP maintainers.

It is correct, that 17 is not the latest standard. We have not yet transfered the tooling to a newer standard though.

There is plans to do so to keep with the Ubuntu LTS release schedule (which would update to cpp20), but it’s quite some work at many different fronts and I have not yet been able to do so.
