Can we get a list of changes requested on the current implementation?
The initial change has been done correctly, which is to provide a "C++ standard minimum level" display field for each library which has its JSON field of "cxxstd" set to some value. I also have agreed with Peter Dimov's remark, which was also suggested earlier in this thread, that the "Standard" display field for each library should be removed, since it's meaning is obsolete and now also confusing. I have also suggested that if we are removing the "Standard" display field we should also remove the "Standard Proposals" and "TR1 libraries" sort categories, which are likewise obsolete.
I personally think that since we now have a "C++ standard minimum level" display field it would also be nice to be able to have a sort category based on that display field called, let's say, "C++ Minimum".
Fully agreed.
And my remark was that (at least for me) "C++ standard minimum level" is to long and doesn't fully display on the website leading to "C++ standard minimum lev11" to be shown instead of "C++ standard minimum level : 11"
I am good with changing that. Maybe just "C++ standard minimum". I am worried that if we just specify "C++ standard" or "C++ level" there will be programmers who think that if they see, let's say, "11" that they will not be able to use that library unless they are compiling with exactly C++11. I know that may sound ridiculous, but the less confusion the better.
