+**Future Plans**:
+* 1.8.x Release - [the 1.8.x](https://github.com/google/googletest/releases/tag/release-1.8.1) is 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

-### Requirements for Contributors ###
-
-We welcome patches. If you plan to contribute a patch, you need to
-build Google Test and its own tests from a git checkout (described
-below), which has further requirements:
-
- * [Python](https://www.python.org/) v2.3 or newer (for running some of
- the tests and re-generating certain source files from templates)
- * [CMake](https://cmake.org/) v2.6.4 or newer

-## Regenerating Source Files ##
-
-Some of Google Test's source files are generated from templates (not
-in the C++ sense) using a script.
-For example, the
-file include/gtest/internal/gtest-type-util.h.pump is used to generate
-gtest-type-util.h in the same directory.
-
-You don't need to worry about regenerating the source files
-unless you need to modify them. You would then modify the
-corresponding `.pump` files and run the '[pump.py](googletest/scripts/pump.py)'
-generator script. See the [Pump Manual](googletest/docs/PumpManual.md).
