| ## Announcements |
| |
| * [LLD](https://lld.llvm.org/) is now available for testing. AOSP is in the |
| process of switching to using LLD by default and the NDK will follow |
| (timeline unknown). Test LLD in your app by passing `-fuse-ld=lld` when |
| linking. |
| |
| * The Play Store will require 64-bit support when uploading an APK beginning in |
| August 2019. Start porting now to avoid surprises when the time comes. For |
| more information, see [this blog post](https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/12/improving-app-security-and-performance.html). |

| |
| ## Known Issues |
| |
| * This is not intended to be a comprehensive list of all outstanding bugs. |
| * [Issue 360]: `thread_local` variables with non-trivial destructors will cause |
| segfaults if the containing library is `dlclose`ed on devices running M or |
| newer, or devices before M when using a static STL. The simple workaround is |
| to not call `dlclose`. |
| * [Issue 70838247]: Gold emits broken debug information for AArch64. AArch64 |
| still uses BFD by default. |
| * This version of the NDK is incompatible with the Android Gradle plugin |
| version 3.0 or older. If you see an error like |
| `No toolchains found in the NDK toolchains folder for ABI with prefix: mips64el-linux-android`, |
| update your project file to [use plugin version 3.1 or newer]. You will also |
| need to upgrade to Android Studio 3.1 or newer. |
