I don't know if .h is officially deprecated now, but it probably will be in the future at some point. Referring to C++ headers without the .h is part of the C++ "standard" now (mentioned in my reference book on standard C++). The intent is to visually separate the old C headers from the new C++ ones. For the old headers you still use .h, but for the C++ headers you don't.
