On the page on maemo about C++ on http://maemomm.garage.maemo.org it says that it is for 2007 edition only. Is this old information or still true?

It took so long to set up my development environment, I am loathed to risk messing it up too much if it is the case, but having looked at the instructions on C programming for maemo, it is so much like stepping back into the mid 90's, it would be nice to have C++ (which also seems like a backward step, but not so far!)

you can program in c++ with any version of the sdk

the compiler is gcc which includes g++
