 ## Code Specific
 
 ### General
-- Using C++11 features is OK and recommended.
+- The codebase currently uses C++14.
 - Use the [nullptr](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/nullptr) type over the macro `NULL`.
 - If a [range-based for loop](http://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/language/range-for) can be used instead of container iterators, use it.
 - Obviously, try not to use `goto` unless you have a *really* good reason for it.
