Announcements

• Unified Headers are now enabled by default.

  Note: The deprecated headers will be removed in a future release, most likely r16. If they do not work for you, file bugs now.

• GCC is no longer supported. It will not be removed from the NDK just yet, but is no longer receiving backports. It cannot be removed until after libc++ has become stable enough to be the default, as some parts of gnustl are still incompatible with Clang. It will likely be removed after that point.

• Gingerbread (android-9) is no longer supported. The minimum API level target in the NDK is now Ice Cream Sandwich (android-14). If your APP_PLATFORM is set lower than android-14, android-14 will be used instead.

NDK

• awk is no longer in the NDK. We've replaced all uses of awk with Python.

libc++

• We've begun slimming down and improving libandroid_support to fix libc++ reliability issues. https://github.com/android-ndk/ndk/issues/300.

Known Issues

• This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all outstanding bugs.
