A general overview and status of various extension which are presently under development can be be found at the Specification Status page.

If you are looking for documentation on a recently ratified extension that has not yet been merged into the published specifications listed at the RISC-V Specifications page, check the table below.  Extensions with hyperlinks reflect specifications which are completely ratified by RISC-V but have not yet been merged into the final specifications.  Extensions without links can be found in the published RISC-V ISA specifications on the RISC-V Specifications page.
