Re: [STDS-754] status of official release of revised IEEE-754
As I look at the ?IEEE Explore? Standards website (9 Sept 2008), I
see the 1985 version of the 754 Standard listed as the active version.
Does anyone have information on when the revised version will be
officially released as the active version?
It looks as though they have a 'software problem' -- the title of the new
standard is showing there, but not the live links and 'Active' status,
etc. I enquired about this yesterday and am awaiting a reply.
The official IEEE publication date was 29 August 2008 (and that is date on
the copyright page, etc.). So, as of then (as I understand it), 754-2008
is IEEE 754 (the active version) and 754-1985 is no longer an IEEE
standard.
