-**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
-* Post 1.9.x googletest will follow [Abseil Live at Head philosophy](https://abseil.io/about/philosophy)

+#### 1.8.x Release:
 
-Welcome to **Google Test**, Google's C++ test framework!
+[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"
 
-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.
+#### Post 1.8.x:
 
-Please subscribe to the mailing list at googletestframework@googlegroups.com for questions, discussions, and development.
-There is also an IRC channel on [OFTC](https://webchat.oftc.net/) (irc.oftc.net) #gtest available.
