When learning C, should one only refer to resources published from 2007 onward?

I ask this question because the international standardization subcommittee for programming languages, or ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22 Programming languages, states on this page:

http://www.open-std.org/JTC1/SC22/WG14/www/standards

that Technical Corrigendum 3, the latest one, was published in 2007. Now I take it that this means the C language it self was changed and that the books and tutorials pre-2007 may contain outdated information. Please correct me if I am wrong.

Thanks, Adam
