## Long-term roadmap

For a deeper look into the future direction of the NDK, see the [official NDK Roadmap](https://android.googlesource.com/platform/ndk/+/master/docs/Roadmap.md) maintained in AOSP.

The roadmap covers:

* Planned API additions and improvements

* Deprecation timelines

## Request for comments (RFC)

We value community feedback on features under development. When we have in-progress features with open discussion, they will be listed here.
