Support for modern APIs

Are you planning to support next gen, low overhead APIs like Direct3D 12, OpenGL Next and Mantle any time soon? By the looks of it, they are based on Mantle so it should be matter of supporting one and some tweaks to support the other two.

Yes, definitely Direct3D 12 and possibly the other two (if needed).
From the info available publicly it doesn't really look based on Mantle (more like they are both based on the same concept) and it might take more than a few tweaks to support both.
