  *stdx* is a C++ header-only library that:
 
-- backports to C++17 some standard library features from C++20 and beyond
+- backports to C++N some standard library features from C++(>N) and beyond
 - adds some useful extra utilities that are missing from the standard
-
-Some of the extras are available only with C++20 or later.
-
-*stdx* supports:
-
-- clang 14 through 21
-- gcc 12 through 14
 
 See the [full documentation](https://intel.github.io/cpp-std-extensions/).
+
+C++ standard support is as follows:
+
+- C++23: [main branch](https://github.com/intel/cpp-std-extensions/tree/main) (active development)
+- C++20: [cpp20 branch](https://github.com/intel/cpp-std-extensions/tree/main) (supported)
+- C++17: unsupported, but many features in the [cpp20 branch](https://github.com/intel/cpp-std-extensions/tree/cpp20) will work with C++17 also.
+
+Compiler support:
+
+| Branch | GCC versions | Clang versions |
+| --- | --- | --- |
+| [main](https://github.com/intel/cpp-baremetal-concurrency/tree/main) | 12 thru 14 | 18 thru 21 |
+| [cpp20](https://github.com/intel/cpp-baremetal-concurrency/tree/cpp20) | 12 thru 14 | 14 thru 21 |
