+       <dt>Important notes:</dt>
+     <dd>
+     <ul>
+      <li>Because of the 512MB size restriction on downloadable packages, the following 32-bit items are not in the 32-bit NDK download packages. Instead, they reside in the 64-bit ones:</li>
       <ul>
-        <li>Added 3 new ABIs, all 64-bit: arm64-v8a, x86_64, mips64.</li> Note that:
-        <ul>
-           <li>GCC 4.9 is the default compiler for 64-bit ABIs. Clang is currently version 3.4.
-<code>NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=clang</code>
-      may not work for arm64-v8a and mips64.</li>
-           <li>Android API level L is the first level with 64-bit support.  Note that this API
-level is a temporary one, and only for L-preview. An actual API level number will replace it at
-L-release.</li>
-           <li>This release includes now includes <code>all32</code> and <code>all64</code>
-settings for <code>APP_ABI</code>.
-              <ul>
-              <li><code>APP_ABI=all32</code> is equivalent to
-<code>APP_ABI=armeabi,armeabi-v7a,x86,mips</code>.</li>
-              <li><code>APP_ABI=all64</code> is equivalent to
-<code>APP_ABI=arm64-v8a,x86_64,mips64</code>.</li>
-              <li><code>APP_ABI=all</code> selects all ABIs.</li>
-              </ul>
-           <li>The new GNU libstdc++ in Android-L contains all <code>&lt;tr1/cmath&gt;</code>
-Before defining your own math function, check <code>_GLIBCXX_USE_C99_MATH_TR1</code> to see a
-function with that name already exists, in order to avoid "multiple definition" errors from the
-linker.</li>
-           <li>The cpu-features library has been updated for the ARMv8 kernel.  The existing
-cpu-features library may fail to detect the presence of NEON on the ARMv8 platform. Recompile your
-code with the new version.</li>
-        </ul>
-        <li>Added a new <code>platforms/android-L/</code> API directory. It includes:</li>
-        <ul>
-           <li>Updated Bionic headers, which had not changed from Android API levels 3
-(Cupcake) to 19 (KitKat). This new version, for level L, is to be synchronized with AOSP.</li>
-           <li>New media APIs and a native-codec sample.</li>
-           <li>An updated <code>Android.h</code> header for SLES/OpenSLES, enabling support for
-single-precision, floating-point audio format in AudioPlayer.</li>
-           <li>GLES 3.1 and AEP extensions to <code>libGLESv3.so.</code></li>
-           <li>GLES2 and GLES3 headers updated to the latest official Khronos versions.</li>
-        </ul>
-        <li>Added GCC 4.9 compilers to the 32-/64-bit ABIs.  GCC 4.9 is the default (only) compiler
-for 64-bit ABIs, as previously mentioned.  For 32-bit ABIs, you must explcitly enable GCC 4.9, as
-GCC 4.6 is still the default.</li>
-        <ul>
-           <li>For ndk-build, enable 32-bit, GCC 4.9 building either by adding
-<code>NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=4.9</code> to <code>Application.mk</code>, or exporting it as an
-environment variable from the command line.</li>
-           <li>For a standalone toolchain, use the <code> --toolchain=</code> option in the
-<code>make-standalone-toolchain.sh</code> script. For example: <code>--toolchain=arm-linux-androideabi-4.9.</code></li>
-        </ul>
-        <li>Upgraded GDB to version 7.6 in GCC 4.8/4.9 and x86*. Since GDB is still at version GDB-7.3.x in
-GCC 4.6 (the default for ARM and MIPS), you must set
-<code>NDK_TOOLCHAIN_VERSION=4.8</code> or <code>4.9</code> to enable ndk-gdb to select GDB 7.6.</li>
-        <li>Added the <code>-mssse3</code> build option to provide SSSE3 support, and made it the default for ABI x86
-(upgrading from SSE3). The image released by Google does not contain SSSE3 instructions.</li>
-        <li>Updated GCC 4.8 to 4.8.3.</li>
-        <li>Improved ARM libc++ EH support by switching from gabi++ to libc++abi. For details, see the "C++ Support" section of the documentation.
-  Note that:</li>
-        <ul>
-           <li>All tests except for locale now pass for Clang 3.4 and GCC 4.8. For more
-information, see the "C++ Support" section of the documentation.</li>
-           <li>The libc++ libraries for X86 and MIPS libc++ still use gabi++.</li>
-           <li>GCC 4.7 and later can now use &lt;atomic&gt;.</li>
-           <li>You must add <code>-fno-strict-aliasing</code> if you use <code> &lt;list&gt;</code>, because <code>__list_imp::_end</code>_ breaks
-      TBAA rules.  (Issue <a href="https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=61571">61571</a>.)</li>
-           <li>As of GCC 4.6, LIBCXX_FORCE_REBUILD:=true no longer rebuilds libc++. Rebuilding it
-requires the use of a different compiler. Note that Clang 3.3 is untested.</li>
-        </ul>
-        <li>mclinker is now version 2.7, and has aarch64 Linux support.</li>
-        <li>Added precompiled header support for headers specified by <code>LOCAL_PCH</code>.  (Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/25412">25412</a>).</li>
-      </dd>
-   <dl>
+      <li>Android-L headers</li>
+      <li>GCC 4.9</li>
+      </ul>
+     <li>Currently, the only Renderscript support provided by the NDK is for 32-bit Renderscript with Android 4.4 (API level 19). You cannot build HelloComputeNDK (the only Renderscript sample) with any other combination of Renderscript (32- or 64-bit) and Android version.</li>
+     <li>To compile native-codec, you must use a 64-bit NDK package, which is where all the Android-L headers are located. </li>
+     </ul>
+     </dd>
 
 
      <dt>Important bug fixes:</dt>
      <dd>
      <ul>
-       <li>Fixed libc++ so that it now compiles <code>std::feof</code>, etc. (Issue <a
-href="http://b.android.com/66668">66668</a>).</li>
-       <li>Fixed a Clang 3.3/3.4 atomic library call that caused crashes in some of the libc++
-tests for ABI armeabi.</li>

-llvm::MDBuilder::createBranchWeights(llvm::ArrayRef<unsigned int>): Assertion Weights.size() >= 2
-&& "Need at least two branch weights!"</code> (Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/57381">57381</a>).
-       <li>Fixed the following Clang 3.3/3.4 crash:</li>
-       <code>Assertion failed: (!Fn && "cast failed but able to resolve overload expression!!"), function CheckCXXCStyleCast, file
-Volumes/data/ndk-toolchain/src/llvm-3.3/llvm/tools/clang/lib/Sema/SemaCast.cpp, line 2018</code>.
-(Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/66950">66950</a>).
+     <li>Fixed gdb 7.6 in GCC 4.8/4.9. (Issues <a href="http://b.android.com/74112">74112</a> and <a href="http://b.android.com/74371">74371</a>.)</li>
+     <li>Fixed GCC 4.8/4.9 for x86, so that they no longer enable <code>-msse4.2</code> and <code>-mpopcnt</code> by default. (Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/73843">73843</a>.)</li>
      </ul>
      </dd>
 
      <dt>Other bug fixes:</dt>
      <dd>
      <ul>
-       <li>Fixed headers:</li>
-       <ul>
-          <li>Fixed 32-bit <code>ssize_t</code> to be <code>int</code> instead of <code>long
-int</code>.</li>
-          <li>Fixed <code>WCHAR_MIN</code> and <code>WCHAR_MAX</code> so that they they take
-appropriate signs according to the architecture they're running on:</li>
-          <ul>
-             <li>X86/MIPS: signed.
-             <li>ARM: unsigned.
-             <li>To force X86/MIPS to default to unsigned, use
-<code>-D__WCHAR_UNSIGNED__</code>.</li>
-             <li>To force <code>wchar_t</code> to be 16 bits, use <code>-fshort-wchar</code>.</li>
-          </ul>
-          <li>Removed non-existent symbols from 32-bit <code>libc.so</code>, and added <code>pread64</code>,
-<code>pwrite64</code>, <code>ftruncate64</code> for
-Android API level 12 and higher. (Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/69319">69319</a>). For more
-information, see the commit message accompanying AOSP change list
-     <a href="https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/94137">94137</a>.</li>
-       </ul>
-       <li>Fixed GCC warning about redefinition of <code>putchar</code>. Warning message reads:</li>
-       <code>include/stdio.h:236:5: warning: conflicts with previous declaration here
-[-Wattributes] int  putchar(int);</code> (Change list <a
-href="https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/91185">91185</a>).
-       <li>Fixed <code>make-standalone-toolchain.sh --stl=libc++</code> so that it:</li>
-       <ul>
-          <li>Copies <code>cxxabi.h</code>. (Issue <a
-href="http://b.android.com/68001">68001</a>).</li>
-          <li>Runs in directories other than the NDK install directory. (Issues <a
-href="http://b.android.com/67690">67690</a> and <a href="http://b.android.com/68647">68647</a>).</li>
-       </ul>
-       <li>Fixed GCC/Windows to quote arguments only when necessary for spawning processes in
-external programs. This change decreases the likelihood of exceeding the 32K length limit.</li>
-       <li>Fixed an issue that made it impossible to adjust the <code>APP_PLATFORM</code>
-environment variable.</li>
-       <li>Fixed the implementation of <code>IsSystemLibrary()</code> in crazy_linker so that it

-  instead of <code>strchr()</code> to find the library path's true basename.</li>
-       <li>Fixed native-audio's inability to build in debug mode.</li>
-       <li>Fixed gdb's inability to print extreme floating-point numbers. (Issue <a
-href="http://b.android.com/69203">69203</a>).</li>
-       <li>Fixed Clang 3.4 inability to compile with <code>-Wl,-shared</code> (as opposed to
-<code>-shared</code>, which
-  had no compilation issues).  The problem was that Clang added <code>-pie</code> for Android
-targets if neither <code>-shared</code> nor <code>-static</code> existed. This behavior, which was
-incorrect, caused the linker to complain that <code>-shared</code> and <code>-pie</code> could not
-co-exist.</li>
+     <li>Removed <code>stdio.h</code> from the <code>include-fixed/</code> directories of all versions of GCC. (Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/73728">73728</a>.)</li>
+     <li>Removed duplicate header files from the Windows packages in the <code>platforms/android-L/arch-*/usr/include/linux/netfilter*/</code> directories. (Issue <a href="https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=73704">73704</a>.)</li>
+     <li>Fixed a problem that prevented Clang from building HelloComputeNDK.</li>
+     <li>Fixed atexit. (Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/66595">66595</a>.)</li>
+     <li>Made various fixes to the docs in <code>docs/</code> and <code>sources/third_party/googletest/README.NDK</code>. (Issue <a href="http://b.android.com/74069">74069</a>.)</li>
+     <li>Made the following fixes to the Android-L headers:</li>
+     <ol>
+     <li>Added the following functions to <code>ctype.h</code> and <code>wchar.h</code>: <code>dn_expand()</code>, <code>grantpt()</code>, <code> inet_nsap_addr()</code>, <code>inet_nsap_ntoa()</code>, <code>insque()</code>, <code>nsdispatch()</code>, <code>posix_openpt()</code>, <code>__pthread_cleanup_pop()</code>, <code>__pthread_cleanup_push()</code>, <code>remque()</code>, <code>setfsgid()</code>, <code>setfsuid()</code>, <code>splice()</code>, <code>tee()</code>, <code>twalk()</code> (Issue <a href = "http://b.android.com/73719">73719</a>), and 42 <code>*_l()</code> functions.</li>
+
+    <li>Renamed <code>cmsg_nxthdr</code> to <code>__cmsg_nxthdr</code>.</li>
+
+    <li>Removed <code>__libc_malloc_dispatch</code>.</li>
 
+    <li>Changed the <code>ptrace()</code> prototype to <code>long ptrace(int, ...);</code>.</li>
+
+    <li>Removed <code>sha1.h</code>.</li>
+
+    <li>Extended <code>android_dlextinfo</code> in <code>android/dlext.h</code>.</li>
+
+    <li>Annotated <code>__NDK_FPABI__</code> for functions receiving or returning float- or double-type values in <code>stdlib.h</code>, <code>time.h</code>, <code>wchar.h</code>, and <code>complex.h</code>.</li>
+    </ol>
      </ul>
      </dd>
+
      <dt>Other changes:</dt>
      <dd>
      <ul>
-        <li>Added <code>arm_neon.h</code> to the x86 toolchain so that it now emulates ~47% of
-Neon. There is currently no support for 64-bit types. For more information, see the section on ARM
-Neon intrinsics support in the x86 documentation.</li>
-        <li>Ported ARM/GOT_PREL optimization (present in GCC 4.6 built from the GCC google branch) to
-ARM GCC 4.8/4.9.  This optimization sometimes reduces instruction count when accessing global
-variables.  As an example, see the build.sh script in
-<code>$NDK/tests/build/b14811006-GOT_PREL-optimization/</code>.</li>
-        <li>Added ARM version for STL gabi++, stlport, and libc++. They now have both it and Thumb
-mode.</li>
-        <li>It is now possible to call the make-standalone-toolchain.sh script with
-<code>--toolchain=x86_64-linux-android-4.9</code>, which is equivalent to
-<code>--toolchain=x86_64-4.9</code>.</li>
+        <li>Updated <code>mipsel-linux-android-4.9</code> and <code>mips64el-linux-android-4.9</code>, implementing a new multilib directory layout, and providing support for gdb-7.7</li>
+        <li>Enhanced <code>cpu-features</code> to detect more arm64 features.  (Change list <a href="https://android-review.googlesource.com/#/c/100339">100339</a>.)</li>
