Are you using vcpkg?
Registries: Bring your own libraries to vcpkg
by Nicole Mazzuca
From the article:
Are you working on a C++ project with library dependencies? Are you tired of maintaining a custom-built package management workflow with duct tape and git submodules? Then you should consider trying out a package manager. Perhaps you have been side-eyeing vcpkg for a while, and it looks like the perfect solution for your team, but for one problem: not all your dependencies are open source! Your company has internal libraries that they expect everyone to use too...

GotW #100 Solution: Preconditions, Part 1
by Herb Sutter
From the article:
We've seen how postconditions are directly related to assertions (see GotWs #97 and #99). So are preconditions, but that in one important way makes them fundamentally different. What is that? And why would having language support benefit us even more for writing preconditions more than for the other two?

A Recap on string_view
by Jonathan Boccara
From the article:
The string capabilities of C++ have little evolved since C++98, until C++17 brought a major evolution: std::string_view.
Let’s look at what string_view is about and what it can bring to your code, by making it more expressive and making it run faster...

Complete C++20 Modules Support with GCC
by Boris Kolpackov
From the article:
build2 now provides conforming and scalable support for all the major C++20 Modules features when used with GCC. This includes named modules, module partitions (both interface and implementation), header unit importation, and include translation. All of these features are also supported in libraries, including consumption of installed libraries with information about modules and importable headers conveyed in pkg-config files. As part of this effort we have also created a collection of examples that demonstrate C++20 Modules features that impact the build process...
