 # Structure
 
 The general structure is driven by the usage of interfaces provided by objects. 
-The FSFW uses C++11 as baseline. The intention behind this is that this C++ Standard should be
-widely available, even with older compilers.
-The FSFW uses dynamic allocation during the initialization but provides static containers during runtime. 
-This simplifies the instantiation of objects and allows the usage of some standard containers. 
-Dynamic Allocation after initialization is discouraged and different solutions are provided in the
-FSFW to achieve that. The fsfw uses run-time type information but exceptions are not allowed.
+The FSFW uses C++17 as baseline. Most modern compilers like GCC should have support for this
+standard, even for micocontrollers.
