| 1 | Hi folks, |

| 9 | Thanks to the recent advancements of Gentoo, we are able to support |
| 10 | arm64[2] on 64bit ARM based Android devices. Together with the 32bit |
| 11 | refresh, they feature gcc-7.3.0, binutils-2.30, glibc-2.26 and default |
| 12 | PIE[5] from 17.0 profiles[3]. |
| 13 | |
| 14 | As a result of Project Prefix[4] development, the new releases are |
| 15 | entirely based on the Gentoo main official repository. No android |
| 16 | overlays are needed anymore. |
| 17 | |
| 18 | |
| 19 | Project Android aims to bring Gentoo users and developers home to their |
| 20 | mobile devices. It produces a GNU environment indifferent to that of |
| 21 | desktop computers. |

| 23 | Cheers, |
