The review of the proposed Decimal Number library by Matt Borland and Chris Kormanyos begins today and runs until 22nd Jan.

You will find documentation here: https://cppalliance.org/decimal/decimal.html

And the code repository is here: https://github.com/cppalliance/decimal/

Boost.Decimal is an implementation of IEEE 754 https://standards.ieee.org/ieee/754/6210/ and ISO/IEC DTR 24733 https://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG21/docs/papers/2009/n2849.pdf Decimal Floating Point numbers. The library is header-only, has no dependencies, and requires C++14.

What is the status of the DTR? It looks to be dated from 2009. Is it realistic to think it will get into std at some point?

It's a real TR: https://www.iso.org/standard/38843.html The draft just doesn't cost CHF 199 to read.
