+#### Live at Head
-**Future Plans**:
-* 1.8.x Release - the 1.8.x will be the last release that works with pre-C++11 compilers. The 1.8.x will not accept any requests for any new features and any bugfix requests will only be accepted if proven "critical"
-* Post 1.8.x - work to improve/cleanup/pay technical debt. When this work is completed there will be a 1.9.x tagged release
-* Post 1.9.x googletest will follow [Abseil Live at Head philosophy](https://abseil.io/about/philosophy)
+GoogleTest now follows the
+[Abseil Live at Head philosophy](https://abseil.io/about/philosophy#upgrade-support).
+We recommend using the latest commit in the `master` branch in your projects.
+#### Documentation Updates
-Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
+Our documentation is now live on GitHub Pages at
+https://google.github.io/googletest/. We recommend browsing the documentation on
+GitHub Pages rather than directly in the repository.
-This repository is a merger of the formerly separate GoogleTest and
-GoogleMock projects. These were so closely related that it makes sense to
-maintain and release them together.
+#### Release 1.11.0
-Please see the project page above for more information as well as the
-mailing list for questions, discussions, and development. There is
-also an IRC channel on [OFTC](https://webchat.oftc.net/) (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available. Please
-join us!
+[Release 1.11.0](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/release-1.11.0)
+is now available.
-Getting started information for **Google Test** is available in the
-[Google Test Primer](googletest/docs/primer.md) documentation.
+#### Coming Soon
-**Google Mock** is an extension to Google Test for writing and using C++ mock
-classes. See the separate [Google Mock documentation](googlemock/README.md).
+* We are planning to take a dependency on
+ [Abseil](https://github.com/abseil/abseil-cpp).
+* More documentation improvements are planned.
-More detailed documentation for googletest (including build instructions) are
-in its interior [googletest/README.md](googletest/README.md) file.

-In addition to many internal projects at Google, Google Test is also used by
-the following notable projects:
+## Supported Platforms
- * The [Chromium projects](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome
- browser and Chrome OS).
- * The [LLVM](http://llvm.org/) compiler.
- * [Protocol Buffers](https://github.com/google/protobuf), Google's data
- interchange format.
- * The [OpenCV](http://opencv.org/) computer vision library.
- * [tiny-dnn](https://github.com/tiny-dnn/tiny-dnn): header only, dependency-free deep learning framework in C++11.
+GoogleTest requires a codebase and compiler compliant with the C++11 standard or
+newer.
-## Related Open Source Projects ##
+The GoogleTest code is officially supported on the following platforms.
+Operating systems or tools not listed below are community-supported. For
+community-supported platforms, patches that do not complicate the code may be
+considered.
-[GTest Runner](https://github.com/nholthaus/gtest-runner) is a Qt5 based automated test-runner and Graphical User Interface with powerful features for Windows and Linux platforms.
+If you notice any problems on your platform, please file an issue on the
+[GoogleTest GitHub Issue Tracker](https://github.com/google/googletest/issues).
+Pull requests containing fixes are welcome!
-[Google Test UI](https://github.com/ospector/gtest-gbar) is test runner that runs
-your test binary, allows you to track its progress via a progress bar, and
-displays a list of test failures. Clicking on one shows failure text. Google
-Test UI is written in C#.
+### Operating Systems
-[GTest TAP Listener](https://github.com/kinow/gtest-tap-listener) is an event
-listener for Google Test that implements the
-[TAP protocol](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_Anything_Protocol) for test
-result output. If your test runner understands TAP, you may find it useful.
+* Linux
+* macOS
+* Windows
-[gtest-parallel](https://github.com/google/gtest-parallel) is a test runner that
-runs tests from your binary in parallel to provide significant speed-up.
+### Compilers
+
+* gcc 5.0+
+* clang 5.0+
+* MSVC 2015+
+
+**macOS users:** Xcode 9.3+ provides clang 5.0+.
-[GoogleTest Adapter](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=DavidSchuldenfrei.gtest-adapter) is a VS Code extension allowing to view Google Tests in a tree view, and run/debug your tests.
+### Build Systems
-## Requirements ##
+* [Bazel](https://bazel.build/)
+* [CMake](https://cmake.org/)
-Google Test is designed to have fairly minimal requirements to build
-and use with your projects, but there are some. Currently, we support
-Linux, Windows, Mac OS X, and Cygwin. We will also make our best
-effort to support other platforms (e.g. Solaris, AIX, and z/OS).
-However, since core members of the Google Test project have no access
-to these platforms, Google Test may have outstanding issues there. If
-you notice any problems on your platform, please notify
-[googletestframework@googlegroups.com](https://groups.google.com/forum/#!forum/googletestframework). Patches for fixing them are
-even more welcome!
+**Note:** Bazel is the build system used by the team internally and in tests.
+CMake is supported on a best-effort basis and by the community.
-### Linux Requirements ###
+## Who Is Using GoogleTest?
-These are the base requirements to build and use Google Test from a source
-package (as described below):

+following notable projects:
- * GNU-compatible Make or gmake
- * POSIX-standard shell
- * POSIX(-2) Regular Expressions (regex.h)
- * A C++98-standard-compliant compiler
+* The [Chromium projects](http://www.chromium.org/) (behind the Chrome browser
