+ Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
+ As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise of compatibility</a>.
+ We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.

+ improves <a href="#runtime">allocation for small objects at high core counts</a>, and

+ <code>GOPROXY</code> now supports skipping proxies that return errors and
