What C++ version is ManGOS written in?

I saw on Github there was a commit by H0zen which mentioned C++ 11. There are now C++ 14 and 17 released and I was wondering what MaNGOS uses overall, and if there were any plans to modernize the C++.

I'm not even sure if it would be useful, but figured I would ask anyway. :)

It's likely still C++11, I'm not even sure that many of the newer features are being used.

Being as this is a cross-platform project as well, a good idea would be to wait a bit until the different IDEs + compilers support the newer versions too. (This has probably happened already

I figured that would be the case. It seems that for the age of MaNGOS and the age of C++ 11, it would make sense that it was the version in use. Upgrading a program from one version to another can be a bother as well.

Perhaps a good question is;

If, when bugs were fixed and patches produced, more C++11/14/17 features were used. Would the core team be happy with that?
