-<h2 id="2012-03-13">2012-03-13 (Go 1 Release Candidate 1)</h2>
-
-<pre>
-This weekly snapshot is very close to what we expect will be the contents of
-the Go 1 release. There are still a few minor documentation issues to resolve,
-and a handful of bugs that should be addressed before the release, but the vast
-majority of Go programs should be completely unaffected by any changes we make
-between now and the full release.
-
-If you're interested in helping us test, eager to try out Go 1, or just
-curious, this weekly snapshot is the one to try. We'll issue a new App Engine
-Go 1 beta SDK very soon, so if you're an App Engine user you can try it there
-too.
-
-To help us focus on any remaining bugs and avoid introducing new ones, we will
-restrict our attention to critical fixes and issues marked Go1-Must in the
-issue tracker. Everything non-essential will be held until after the Go 1
-release is cut and in the field for a while.

-<h2 id="2012-02-22">2012-02-22</h2>
-
-<pre>
-This weekly snapshot includes changes to the os and runtime packages.
-
-This should be the last of the significant incompatible changes before Go 1.
-
-There are no longer error constants such as EINVAL in the os package, since the
-set of values varied with the underlying operating system. There are new
-portable functions like IsPermission to test common error properties, plus a
-few new error values with more Go-like names, such as ErrPermission and
-ErrNoEnv.
-
-The os.Getenverror function has been removed. To distinguish between a
-non-existent environment variable and an empty string, use os.Environ or
-syscall.Getenv.
-
-The Process.Wait method has dropped its option argument and the associated
-constants are gone from the package. Also, the function Wait is gone; only the
-method of the Process type persists.
-
-The non-portable Waitmsg type has been replaced with the portable ProcessState.
-
-Much of the API exported by package runtime has been removed in favor of
-functionality provided by other packages. Code using the runtime.Type
-interface or its specific concrete type implementations should now use package
-reflect. Code using runtime.Semacquire or runtime.Semrelease should use
-channels or the abstractions in package sync.
-
-The runtime.Alloc, runtime.Free, and runtime.Lookup functions, an unsafe API
-created for debugging the memory allocator, have no replacement.
-
-The runtime.Cgocalls and runtime.Goroutines functions have been renamed to
-runtime.NumCgoCall and runtime.NumGoroutine.
-
-The "go fix" command will update code to accommodate most of these changes.
-
-Other changes:
-* 5c, 6c, 8c, 6g, 8g: correct boundary checking (thanks Shenghou Ma).

-This weekly snapshot includes a re-organization of the Go tools.
-
-Only the go, godoc, and gofmt tools are installed to $GOROOT/bin (or $GOBIN).
-The remainder are installed to $GOROOT/bin/tool.
-This puts the lesser-used tools (6g, cgo, govet, etc.) outside the user PATH.
-Instead these tools may be called through the go tool with 'go tool command'.
-For example, to vet hello.go you would type 'go tool vet hello.go'.
-Type 'go tool' see the list of available tools.
-
-With the move, some tools were given simpler names:
- 6cov -> cov
- 6nm -> nm
- goapi -> api
- gofix -> fix
- gopack -> pack
- gopprof -> pprof
- govet -> vet
- goyacc -> yacc
-
-The os/signal package has been moved to exp/signal.
-

-This snapshot includes a language change and changes to the strconv and go/doc
-packages. The package changes require changes to client code.
-The language change is backwards-compatible.
-
-Type elision in arrays, slices, or maps of composite literals has been
-extended to include pointers to composite literals. Code like this
- var t = []*T{&T{}, &T{}}
-may now be written as
- var t = []*T{{}, {}}
-You can use gofmt -s to simplify such code.
-
-The strconv package has been given a more idiomatic and efficient interface.
-Client code can be updated with gofix. See the docs for the details:
- http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/strconv/
-
-The go/doc package's ToHTML function now takes a []byte argument instead of a
-string.
-
-Other changes:
-* crypto/aes: eliminate some bounds checking and truncation (thanks Rémy Oudompheng).

-This weekly snapshot includes changes to the hash package and a gofix for the
-time and os.FileInfo changes in the last snapshot.
-
-The hash.Hash's Sum method has been given a []byte argument,
-permitting the user to append the hash to an existing byte slice.

-
-<h2 id="2011-12-01">2011-12-01</h2>
-
-<pre>
-This weekly snapshot includes changes to the time, os, and text/template
-packages. The changes to the time and os packages are significant and related.
-Code that uses package time, package text/template, or package os's FileInfo
-type will require changes.
-
-In package time, there is now one type - time.Time - to represent times.
-Note that time.Time should be used as a value, in contrast to old code
-which typically used a *time.Time, a pointer to a large struct. (Drop the *.)
-Any function that previously accepted a *time.Time, an int64
-number of seconds since 1970, or an int64 number of nanoseconds
-since 1970 should now accept a time.Time. Especially as a replacement
-for the int64s, the type is good documentation about the meaning of
-its value.
-
-Whether you were previously calling time.Seconds, time.Nanoseconds,
-time.LocalTime, or time.UTC, the replacement is the new function
-time.Now.
-
-If you previously wrote code like:
-
- t0 := time.Nanoseconds()
- myFunction()
- t1 := time.Nanoseconds()
- delta := t1 - t0
- fmt.Printf("That took %.2f seconds\n", float64(t1-t0)/1e9)
-
-you can now write:
-
- t0 := time.Now()
- myFunction()
- t1 := time.Now()
- delta := t1.Sub(t0)
- fmt.Printf("That took %s\n", delta)
-
-In this snippet, the variable delta is of the new type time.Duration, the
-replacement for the many int64 parameters that were nanosecond
-counts (but not since 1970).
-
-Gofix can do the above conversions and some others, but it does not
-rewrite explicit int64 types as time.Time. It is very likely that you will
-need to edit your program to change these types after running gofix.
-As always, be sure to read the changes that gofix makes using your
-version control system's diff feature.
-
-See http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/time/ for details.
-
-In package os, the FileInfo struct is replaced by a FileInfo interface,
-admitting implementations by code beyond the operating system.
-Code that refers to *os.FileInfo (a pointer to the old struct) should
-instead refer to os.FileInfo (the new interface).
-The interface has just a few methods:
-
- type FileInfo interface {
- Name() string // base name of the file
- Size() int64 // length in bytes
- Mode() FileMode // file mode bits
- ModTime() time.Time // modification time
- IsDir() bool // abbreviation for Mode().IsDir()
- }
-
-If you need access to the underlying stat_t provided by the operating
-system kernel, you can access it by assuming that the FileInfo you are
-holding is actually an *os.FileStat, and that it's Sys field is actually a
-*syscall.Stat_t, as in:
-
- dev := fi.(*os.FileStat).Sys.(*syscall.Stat_t).Dev
-
-Of course, this is not necessarily portable across different operating
-systems.
-
-Gofix will take care of rewriting *os.FileInfo to os.FileInfo for you,
-and it will also rewrite expressions like fi.Name into calls like fi.Name().
-
-See http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/os/#FileInfo for details.
-
-The template package has been changed to export a new, simpler API.
-The Set type is gone. Instead, templates are automatically associated by
-being parsed together; nested definitions implicitly create associations.
-Only associated templates can invoke one another.
-This approach dramatically reduces the breadth of the construction API.
-The html/template package has been updated also.
-There's a gofix for the simplest and most common uses of the old API.
-Code that doesn't mention the Set type is likely to work after running gofix;
-code that uses Set will need to be updated by hand.
-The template definition language itself is unchanged.
-
-See http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/text/template/ for details.
-

-
-Map and function value comparisons are now disallowed (except for comparison

-This weekly snapshot includes some package changes.
-
-In preparation for the Go 1 package reorganziation the sources for various
-packages have been moved, but the import paths remain unchanged. This
-inconsistency breaks goinstall at this snapshot. If you use goinstall, please

-<h2 id="2011-11-02">2011-11-02 (new error type)</h2>
-
-<pre>
-This snapshot introduces the built-in error type, defined as
-
- type error interface {
- Error() string
- }
-
-The error type replaces os.Error. Notice that the method name has changed from
-String to Error. Package fmt's Print formats both Stringers and errors:
-in general there is no need to implement both String and Error methods.
-
-Gofix can update most code. If you have split your package across many files,
-it may help to use the -force=error command-line option, which forces gofix to
-apply the error fix even if it is not obvious that a particular file needs it.
-As always, it is a good idea to read and test the changes that gofix made
-before committing them to your version control system.
-</pre>
-
-<h2 id="2011-11-01">2011-11-01</h2>

-<h2 id="2011-10-26">2011-10-26 (new rune type)</h2>
-
-<pre>
-This snapshot introduces the rune type, an alias for int that
-should be used for Unicode code points.
-
-A future release of Go (after Go 1) will change rune to be an
-alias for int32 instead of int. Using rune consistently is the way
-to make your code build both before and after this change.
-
-To test your code for rune safety, you can rebuild the Go tree with
-
- GOEXPERIMENT=rune32 ./all.bash
-
-which builds a compiler in which rune is an alias for int32 instead of int.
-
-Also, run govet on your code to identify methods that might need to have their
-signatures updated.

-
-<pre>
-This weekly snapshot includes some language and package changes that may
-require code changes. Please read these notes carefully, as there are many
-changes and your code will likely be affected.
-
-The syntax for map deletion has been changed. Code that looks like:
- m[x] = 0, false
-should be written as:
- delete(m, x)
-The compiler still accepts m[x] = 0, false for now; even so, you can use gofix
-to rewrite such assignments into delete(m, x).
-
-The Go compiler will reject a return statement without arguments when any of
-the result variables has been shadowed. Code rejected as a result of this
-change is likely to be buggy.
-
-Receive-only channels (<-chan T) cannot be closed.
-The compiler will diagnose such attempts.
-
-The first element of a map iteration is chosen at random. Code that depends on
-iteration order will need to be updated.
-
-Goroutines may be run during program initialization.
-
-A string may be appended to a byte slice. This code is now legal:
- var b []byte
- var s string
- b = append(b, s...)
-
-The gotry command and its associated try package have been deleted.
-It was a fun experiment that - in the end - didn't carry its weight.
-
-The gotype tool has been moved to exp/gotype and its associated go/types
-package has been moved to exp/types. The deprecated go/typechecker package has
-been deleted.
-
-The enbflint tool has been moved to pkg/exp/ebnflint and its associated ebnf
-package has been moved to pkg/exp/ebnf.
-
-The netchan package has been moved to old/netchan.
-
-The http/spdy package has been moved to exp/spdy.

-<pre>
-This weekly snapshot includes changes to the io, image, and math packages that
-may require changes to client code.
-
-The io package's Copyn function has been renamed to CopyN.
-
-The math package's Fabs, Fdim, Fmax, Fmin and Fmod functions
-have been renamed to Abs, Dim, Max, Min, and Mod.
-
-Parts of the image package have been moved to the new image/color package.
-The spin-off renames some types. The new names are simply better:
- image.Color -> color.Color
- image.ColorModel -> color.Model
- image.ColorModelFunc -> color.ModelFunc
- image.PalettedColorModel -> color.Palette
- image.RGBAColor -> color.RGBA
- image.RGBAColorModel -> color.RGBAModel
- image.RGBA64Color -> color.RGBA64
- image.RGBA64ColorModel -> color.RGBA64Model
-(similarly for NRGBAColor, GrayColorModel, etc)
-The image.ColorImage type stays in the image package, but is renamed:
- image.ColorImage -> image.Uniform
-The image.Image implementations (image.RGBA, image.RGBA64, image.NRGBA,
-image.Alpha, etc) do not change their name, and gain a nice symmetry:
-an image.RGBA is an image of color.RGBA, etc.
-The image.Black, image.Opaque uniform images remain unchanged (although their
-type is renamed from image.ColorImage to image.Uniform).
-The corresponding color types (color.Black, color.Opaque, etc) are new.
-Nothing in the image/ycbcr is renamed yet. The ycbcr.YCbCrColor and
-ycbcr.YCbCrImage types will eventually migrate to color.YCbCr and image.YCbCr,
-at a later date.

-function value instead of a Visitor interface value. WalkFunc is like the
-Visitor's VisitDir and VisitFile methods except it handles both files and
-directories:
- func(path string, info *os.FileInfo, err os.Error) os.Error
-To skip walking a directory (like returning false from VisitDir) the WalkFunc
-must return SkipDir.
-
-The time package's Time struct's Weekday field has been changed to a method.
-The value is calculated on demand, avoiding the need to re-parse
-programmatically-constructed Time values to find the correct weekday.
-
-There are no gofixes for the filepath or time API changes, but instances of the
-old APIs will be caught by the compiler. The Weekday one is easy to update by
-hand. The Walk one may take more consideration, but will have fewer instances
-to fix.

-<h2 id="2011-07-19">2011-07-19</h2>
-
-<pre>
-This weekly snapshot includes a language change and a change to the image
-package that may require changes to client code.
-
-The language change is that an "else" block is now required to have braces
-except if the body of the "else" is another "if". Since gofmt always puts those
-braces in anyway, programs will not be affected unless they contain "else for",
-"else switch", or "else select". Run gofmt to fix any such programs.
-
-The image package has had significant changes made to the Pix field of struct
-types such as image.RGBA and image.NRGBA. The image.Image interface type has
-not changed, though, and you should not need to change your code if you don't
-explicitly refer to Pix fields. For example, if you decode a number of images
-using the image/jpeg package, compose them using image/draw, and then encode
-the result using image/png, then your code should still work as before.
-
-If you do explicitly refer to Pix fields, there are two changes. First, Pix[0]
-now refers to the pixel at Bounds().Min instead of the pixel at (0, 0). Second,
-the element type of the Pix slice is now uint8 instead of image.FooColor. For
-example, for an image.RGBA, the channel values will be packed R, G, B, A, R, G,
-B, A, etc. For 16-bits-per-channel color types, the pixel data will be stored
-as big-endian uint8s.
-
-Most Pix field types have changed, and so if your code still compiles after
-this change, then you probably don't need to make any further changes (unless
-you use an image.Paletted's Pix field). If you do get compiler errors, code
-that used to look like this:
-
- // Get the R, G, B, A values for the pixel at (x, y).
- var m *image.RGBA = loadAnImage()
- c := m.Pix[y*m.Stride + x]
- r, g, b, a := c.R, c.G, c.B, c.A
-
-should now look like this:
-
- // Get the R, G, B, A values for the pixel at (x, y).
- var m *image.RGBA = loadAnImage()
- i := (y-m.Rect.Min.Y)*m.Stride + (x-m.Rect.Min.X)*4
- r := m.Pix[i+0]
- g := m.Pix[i+1]
- b := m.Pix[i+2]
- a := m.Pix[i+3]
-
-This image package change will not be fixed by gofix: how best to translate
-code into something efficient and idiomatic depends on the surrounding context,
-and is not easily automatable. Examples of what to do can be found in the
-changes to image/draw/draw.go in http://codereview.appspot.com/4675076/

-* 6l: change default output name to 6.out.exe on windows (thanks Alex Brainman).

-This weekly snapshot includes changes to the strings, http, reflect, json, and
-xml packages. Code that uses these packages will need changes. Most of these
-changes can be made automatically with gofix.
-
-The strings package's Split function has itself been split into Split and
-SplitN. SplitN is the same as the old Split. The new Split is equivalent to
-SplitN with a final argument of -1.
-
-The http package has a new FileSystem interface that provides access to files.
-The FileServer helper now takes a FileSystem argument instead of an explicit
-file system root. By implementing your own FileSystem you can use the
-FileServer to serve arbitrary data.
-
-The reflect package supports a new struct tag scheme that enables sharing of
-struct tags between multiple packages.
-In this scheme, the tags must be of the form:
- key:"value" key2:"value2"
-reflect.StructField's Tag field now has type StructTag (a string type), which
-has method Get(key string) string that returns the associated value.
-Clients of json and xml will need to be updated. Code that says
- type T struct {
- X int "name"
- }
-should become
- type T struct {
- X int `json:"name"` // or `xml:"name"`
- }
-Use govet to identify struct tags that need to be changed to use the new syntax.

-This snapshot includes a language change that restricts the use of goto.
-In essence, a "goto" statement outside a block cannot jump to a label inside
-that block. Your code may require changes if it uses goto.
-This changeset shows how the new rule affected the Go tree:
- http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=dc6d3cf9279d

-This snapshot includes changes to the strconv, http, and exp/draw packages.
-Client code that uses the http or exp/draw packages will need to be changed,
-and code that uses strconv or fmt's "%q" formatting directive merits checking.
-
-The strconv package's Quote function now escapes only those Unicode code points
-not classified as printable by unicode.IsPrint. Previously Quote would escape
-all non-ASCII characters. This also affects the fmt package's "%q" formatting
-directive. The previous quoting behavior is still available via strconv's new
-QuoteToASCII function.
-
-Most instances of the type map[string][]string in the http package have been
-replaced with the new Values type. The http.Values type has the Get, Set, Add,
-and Del helper methods to make working with query parameters and form values
-more convenient.
-
-The exp/draw package has been split into the image/draw and exp/gui packages.

-This snapshot includes changes to the exec package that will require changes
-to client code.

-The exec package has been re-designed with a more convenient and succinct API.
-This code:
- args := []string{"diff", "-u", "file1.txt", "file2.txt"}
- p, err := exec.Run("/usr/bin/diff", args, os.Environ(), "",
- exec.DevNull, exec.Pipe, exec.DevNull)

-weekly.2011-04-13
-
-This weekly snapshot includes major changes to the reflect package and the
-os.Open function. Code that uses reflect or os.Open will require updating,
-which can be done mechanically using the gofix tool.
-
-The reflect package's Type and Value types have changed. Type is now an
-interface that implements all the possible type methods. Instead of a type
-switch on a reflect.Type t, switch on t.Kind(). Value is now a struct value
-that implements all the possible value methods. Instead of a type switch on a
-reflect.Value v, switch on v.Kind(). See the change for the full details:
- http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=843855f3c026
-
-The os package's Open function has been replaced by three functions:
- OpenFile(name, flag, perm) // same as old Open
- Open(name) // same as old Open(name, O_RDONLY, 0)
- Create(name) // same as old Open(name, O_RDWR|O_TRUNC|O_CREAT, 0666)
-
-To update your code to use the new APIs, run "gofix path/to/code". Gofix can't
-handle all situations perfectly, so read and test the changes it makes before
-committing them.

-This weekly release includes improved support for testing.
-
-Memory and CPU profiling is now available via the gotest tool. Gotest will
-produce memory and CPU profiling data when invoked with the -test.memprofile
-and -test.cpuprofile flags. Run "godoc gotest" for details.
-
-We have also introduced a way for tests to run quickly when an exhaustive test
-is unnecessary. Gotest's new -test.short flag in combination with the testing
-package's new Short function allows you to write tests that can be run in
-normal or "short" mode; short mode is now used by all.bash to reduce

-This week's release introduces a new release tagging scheme. We intend to
-continue with our weekly releases, but have renamed the existing tags from
-"release" to "weekly". The "release" tag will now be applied to one hand-picked
-stable release each month or two.
-
-The revision formerly tagged "release.2011-03-07.1" (now "weekly.2011-03-07.1")
-has been nominated our first stable release, and has been given the tag
-"release.r56". As we tag each stable release we will post an announcement to
-the new golang-announce mailing list:
- http://groups.google.com/group/golang-announce
-
-You can continue to keep your Go installation updated using "hg update
-release", but now you should only need to update once we tag a new stable
-release, which we will announce here. If you wish to stay at the leading edge,
-you should switch to the weekly tag with "hg update weekly".
-
-
-This weekly release includes significant changes to the language spec and the
-http, os, and syscall packages. Your code may need to be changed. It also
-introduces the new gofix tool.
-
-The closed function has been removed from the language. The syntax for channel
-receives has been changed to return an optional second value, a boolean value
-indicating whether the channel is closed. This code:
- v := <-ch
- if closed(ch) {
- // channel is closed
- }
-should now be written as:
- v, ok := <-ch
- if !ok {
- // channel is closed
- }
-
-It is now illegal to declare unused labels, just as it is illegal to declare
-unused local variables.
-
-The new gofix tool finds Go programs that use old APIs and rewrites them to use
-newer ones. After you update to a new Go release, gofix helps make the
-necessary changes to your programs. Gofix will handle the http, os, and syscall
-package changes described below, and we will update the program to keep up with
-future changes to the libraries.
-
-The Hijack and Flush methods have been removed from the http.ResponseWriter
-interface and are accessible via the new http.Hijacker and http.Flusher
-interfaces. The RemoteAddr and UsingTLS methods have been moved from
-http.ResponseWriter to http.Request.
-
-The http.ResponseWriter interface's SetHeader method has been replaced by a
-Header() method that returns the response's http.Header. Caller code needs to
-change. This code:
- rw.SetHeader("Content-Type", "text/plain")
-should now be written as:
- rw.Header().Set("Content-Type", "text/plain")
-The os and syscall packages' StartProcess functions now take their final three
-arguments as an *os.ProcAttr and *syscall.ProcAttr values, respectively. This
-code:
- os.StartProcess(bin, args, env, dir, fds)
-should now be written as:
- os.StartProcess(bin, args, &os.ProcAttr{Files: fds, Dir: dir, Env: env})
-
-The gob package will now encode and decode values of types that implement the
-gob.GobEncoder and gob.GobDecoder interfaces. This allows types with unexported
-fields to transmit self-consistent descriptions; one instance is big.Int and
-big.Rat.
-
-Other changes:
-* 5l, 6l, 8l: reduce binary size about 40% by omitting symbols for type, string, go.string.
-* 5l, 8l: output missing section symbols (thanks Anthony Martin).
-* 6l, 8l: fix gdb crash.

-This release includes changes to the http package and a small language change.
-Your code will require changes if it manipulates http Headers or omits the
-condition in if statements.
-
-The new http.Header type replaces map[string]string in the Header and Trailer
-fields of http.Request and http.Response.
-A Header value can be manipulated via its Get, Set, Add, and Del methods.
-See http://golang.org/pkg/http/#Header
-
-The condition is now mandatory in if statements.
-Previously it would default to true, as in switch and for statements.
-This code is now illegal:
- if x := foo(); {
- // code that is always executed
- }
-The same effect can be achieved like this:
- if x := foo(); true {
- // code
- }
-Or, in a simpler form:
- {
- x := foo()
- // code
- }

-This release includes significant changes to channel operations and minor
-changes to the log package. Your code will require modification if it uses
-channels in non-blocking communications or the log package's Exit functions.
-
-Non-blocking channel operations have been removed from the language.
-The equivalent operations have always been possible using a select statement
-with a default clause. If a default clause is present in a select, that clause
-will execute (only) if no other is ready, which allows one to avoid blocking on
-a communication.
-
-For example, the old non-blocking send operation,
-
- if ch <- v {
- // sent
- } else {
- // not sent
- }
-
-should be rewritten as,
-
- select {
- case ch <- v:
- // sent
- default:
- // not sent
- }
-
-Similarly, this receive,
-
- v, ok := <-ch
- if ok {
- // received
- } else {
- // not received
- }
-
-should be rewritten as,
-
- select {
- case v := <-ch:
- // received
- default:
- // not received
- }
-
-This change is a prelude to redefining the 'comma-ok' syntax for a receive.
-In a later release, a receive expression will return the received value and an
-optional boolean indicating whether the channel has been closed. These changes
-are being made in two stages to prevent this semantic change from silently
-breaking code that uses 'comma-ok' with receives.
-There are no plans to have a boolean expression form for sends.
-
-Sends to a closed channel will panic immediately. Previously, an unspecified
-number of sends would fail silently before causing a panic.
-
-The log package's Exit, Exitf, and Exitln functions have been renamed Fatal,
-Fatalf, and Fatalln respectively. This brings them in line with the naming of
-the testing package.
-
-The port to the "tiny" operating system has been removed. It is unmaintained
-and untested. It was a toy to show that Go can run on raw hardware and it
-served its purpose. The source code will of course remain in the repository
-history, so it could be brought back if needed later.
-
-This release also changes some of the internal structure of the memory
-allocator in preparation for other garbage collector changes.
-If you run into problems, please let us know.
-There is one known issue that we are aware of but have not debugged yet:
- http://code.google.com/p/go/issues/detail?id=1464&.
-
-Other changes in this release:
-* 5l: document -F, force it on old ARMs (software floating point emulation)

-The json, gob, and template packages have changed, and code that uses them
-may need to be updated after this release. They will no longer read or write
-unexported struct fields. When marshaling a struct with json or gob the

-Package crypto/cipher has been started, to replace crypto/block.
-As part of the changes, rc4.Cipher's XORKeyStream method signature has changed from
- XORKeyStream(buf []byte)
-to
- XORKeyStream(dst, src []byte)
-to implement the cipher.Stream interface. If you use crypto/block, you'll need
-to switch to crypto/cipher once it is complete.
-
-Package smtp's StartTLS now takes a *tls.Config argument.
-
-Package reflect's ArrayCopy has been renamed to Copy. There are new functions
-Append and AppendSlice.
-
-The print/println bootstrapping functions now write to standard error.
-To write to standard output, use fmt.Print[ln].
-
-A new tool, govet, has been added to the Go distribution. Govet is a static
-checker for Go programs. At the moment, and for the foreseeable future,
-it only checks arguments to print calls.
-
-The cgo tool for writing Go bindings for C code has changed so that it no
-longer uses stub .so files (like cgo_stdio.so). Cgo-based packages using the
-standard Makefiles should build without any changes. Any alternate build
-mechanisms will need to be updated.
-
-The C and Go compilers (6g, 6c, 8g, 8c, 5g, 5c) now align structs according to
-the maximum alignment of the fields they contain; previously they aligned
-structs to word boundaries. This may break non-cgo-based code that attempts to
-mix C and Go.
-
-NaCl support has been removed. The recent linker changes broke NaCl support
-a month ago, and there are no known users of it.
-If necessary, the NaCl code can be recovered from the repository history.
-
-* 5g/8g, 8l, ld, prof: fix output of 32-bit values (thanks Eoghan Sherry).
-* [68]l and runtime: GDB support for interfaces and goroutines.
-* 6l, 8l: support for linking ELF and Mach-O .o files.
-* all: simplify two-variable ranges with unused second variable (thanks Ryan Hitchman).

-This release includes some package changes. If you use the crypto/tls or
-go/parser packages your code may require changes.
-
-The crypto/tls package's Dial function now takes an additional *Config
-argument. Most uses will pass nil to get the same default behavior as before.
-See the documentation for details:
- http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config
- http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#Dial
-
-The go/parser package's ParseFile function now takes a *token.FileSet as its
-first argument. This is a pointer to a data structure used to store
-position information. If you don't care about position information you
-can pass "token.NewFileSet()". See the documentation for details:
- http://golang.org/pkg/go/parser/#ParseFile
-
-This release also splits the patent grant text out of the LICENSE file into a
-separate PATENTS file and changes it to be more like the WebM grant.
-These clarifications were made at the request of the Fedora project.
-
-Other changes:
-* [68]l: generate debug info for builtin structured types, prettyprinting in gdb.
-* 8l: add dynimport to import table in Windows PE (thanks Wei Guangjing).

-Several package changes in this release may require you to update your code if
-you use the bytes, template, or utf8 packages. In all cases, any outdated code
-will fail to compile rather than behave erroneously.
-
-The bytes package has changed. Its Add and AddByte functions have been removed,
-as their functionality is provided by the recently-introduced built-in function
-"append". Any code that uses them will need to be changed:
-s = bytes.Add(s, b) -> s = append(s, b...)
-s = bytes.AddByte(b, c) -> s = append(s, b)
-s = bytes.Add(nil, c) -> append([]byte(nil), c)
-
-The template package has changed. Your code will need to be updated if it calls
-the HTMLFormatter or StringFormatter functions, or implements its own formatter
-functions. The function signature for formatter types has changed to:
- func(wr io.Writer, formatter string, data ...interface{})
-to allow multiple arguments to the formatter. No templates will need updating.
-See the change for examples:
- http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=2c2be793120e
-
-The template change permits the implementation of multi-word variable
-instantiation for formatters. Before one could say
- {field}
-or
- {field|formatter}
-Now one can also say
- {field1 field2 field3}
-or
- {field1 field2 field3|formatter}
-and the fields are passed as successive arguments to the formatter,
-by analogy to fmt.Print.
-
-The utf8 package has changed. The order of EncodeRune's arguments has been
-reversed to satisfy the convention of "destination first".
-Any code that uses EncodeRune will need to be updated.
-
-Other changes:
-* [68]l: correct dwarf location for globals and ranges for arrays.
-* big: fix (*Rat) SetFrac64(a, b) when b < 0 (thanks Eoghan Sherry).
-* compress/flate: fix typo in comment (thanks Mathieu Lonjaret).
-* crypto/elliptic: use a Jacobian transform for better performance.
-* doc/code.html: fix reference to "gomake build" (thanks Anschel Schaffer-Cohen).
-* doc/roadmap: update gdb status.
-* doc/spec: fixed some omissions and type errors.
-* doc: some typo fixes (thanks Peter Mundy).
-* exp/eval: build fix for parser.ParseFile API change (thanks Anschel Schaffer-Cohen).
-* fmt: Scan accepts Inf and NaN,
- allow "% X" as well as "% x".
-* go/printer: preserve newlines in func parameter lists (thanks Jamie Gennis).
-* http: consume request body before next request.
-* log: ensure writes are atomic (thanks Roger Peppe).
-* path: Windows support for Split (thanks Benny Siegert).
-* runtime: fix SysFree to really free memory on Windows (thanks Alex Brainman),
- parallel definitions in Go for all C structs.
-* sort: avoid overflow in pivot calculation,
- reduced stack depth to lg(n) in quickSort (thanks Stefan Nilsson).
-* strconv: Atof on Infs and NaNs.

-*** This release changes the encoding used by package gob.
- If you store gobs on disk, see below. ***
-
-The ARM port (5g) now passes all tests. The optimizer is not yet enabled, and
-floating point arithmetic is performed entirely in software. Work is underway
-to address both of these deficiencies.
-
-The syntax for arrays, slices, and maps of composite literals has been
-simplified. Within a composite literal of array, slice, or map type, elements
-that are themselves composite literals may elide the type if it is identical to
-the outer literal's element type. For example, these expressions:
- [][]int{[]int{1, 2, 3}, []int{4, 5}}
- map[string]Point{"x": Point{1.5, -3.5}, "y": Point{0, 0}}
-can be simplified to:
- [][]int{{1, 2, 3}, {4, 5}}
- map[string]Point{"x": {1.5, -3.5}, "y": {0, 0}}
-Gofmt can make these simplifications mechanically when invoked with the
-new -s flag.
-
-The built-in copy function can now copy bytes from a string value to a []byte.
-Code like this (for []byte b and string s):
- for i := 0; i < len(s); i++ {
- b[i] = s[i]
- }
-can be rewritten as:
- copy(b, s)
-
-The gob package can now encode and decode interface values containing types
-registered ahead of time with the new Register function. These changes required
-a backwards-incompatible change to the wire format. Data written with the old
-version of the package will not be readable with the new one, and vice versa.
-(Steps were made in this change to make sure this doesn't happen again.)
-We don't know of anyone using gobs to create permanent data, but if you do this
-and need help converting, please let us know, and do not update to this release
-yet. We will help you convert your data.
-
-Other changes:
-* 5g, 6g, 8g: generate code for string index instead of calling function.
-* 5l, 6l, 8l: introduce sub-symbols.
-* 6l/8l: global and local variables and type info.
-* Make.inc: delete unnecessary -fno-inline flag to quietgcc.
-* arm: precise float64 software floating point, bug fixes.
-* big: arm assembly, faster software mulWW, divWW.
-* build: only print "You need to add foo to PATH" when needed.
-* container/list: fix Remove bug and use pointer to self as identifier.
-* doc: show page title in browser title bar,
- update roadmap.
-* encoding/binary: give LittleEndian, BigEndian specific types.
-* go/parser: consume auto-inserted semi when calling ParseExpr().
-* gobuilder: pass GOHOSTOS and GOHOSTARCH to build,
- write build and benchmarking logs to disk.
-* goinstall: display helpful message when encountering a cgo package,
- fix test for multiple package names (thanks Fazlul Shahriar).
-* gotest: generate correct gofmt-formatted _testmain.go.
-* image/png: speed up paletted encoding ~25% (thanks Brad Fitzpatrick).
-* misc: update python scripts to specify python2 as python3 is now "python".
-* net: fix comment on Dial to mention unix/unixgram.
-* rpc: expose Server type to allow multiple RPC Server instances.
-* runtime: print unknown types in panic.
-* spec: append built-in (not yet implemented).
-* src: gofmt -s -w src misc.
- update code to use copy-from-string.
-* test/bench: update numbers.
-* websocket: fix short Read.

-This release includes changes to the log package, the removal of exp/iterable,
-two new tools (gotry and goplay), one small language change, and many other
-changes and fixes. If you use the log or iterable packages, you need to make
-changes to your code.
-
-The log package has changed. Loggers now have only one output, and output to
-standard error by default. The names have also changed, although the old names
-are still supported. They will be deleted in the next release, though, so it
-would be good to update now if you can. For most purposes all you need to do
-is make these substitutions:
- log.Stderr -> log.Println or log.Print
- log.Stderrf -> log.Printf
- log.Crash -> log.Panicln or log.Panic
- log.Crashf -> log.Panicf
- log.Exit -> log.Exitln or log.Exit
- log.Exitf -> log.Exitf (no change)
-Calls to log.New() must drop the second argument.
-Also, custom loggers with exit or panic properties will need to be reworked.
-For full details, see the change description:
- http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=d8a3c7563d
-
-The language change is that uses of pointers to interface values no longer
-automatically dereference the pointer. A pointer to an interface value is more
-often a beginner's bug than correct code.
-
-The package exp/iterable has been removed. It was an interesting experiment,
-but it encourages writing inefficient code and has outlived its utility.
-
-The new tools:
-* gotry: an exercise in reflection and an unusual tool. Run 'gotry' for details.
-* goplay: a stand-alone version of the Go Playground. See misc/goplay.
-
-Other changes:
-* 6l: Mach-O fixes, and fix to work with OS X nm/otool (thanks Jim McGrath).
-* [568]a: correct line numbers for statements.
-* arm: code generation and runtime fixes,
- adjust recover for new reflect.call,
- enable 6 more tests after net fix.
-* big: fix panic and round correctly in Rat.FloatString (thanks Anthony Martin).
-* build: Make.cmd: remove $(OFILES) (thanks Eric Clark),
- Make.pkg: remove .so before installing new one,
- add GOHOSTOS and GOHOSTARCH environment variables.
-* crypto/tls: better error messages for certificate issues,
- make SetReadTimeout work.
-* doc: add Sydney University video,
- add The Expressiveness of Go talk.
-* exp/draw/x11: support X11 vendors other than "The X.Org Foundation".
-* expvar: add (*Int).Set (thanks Sam Thorogood).
-* fmt: add Errorf helper function,
- allow %d on []byte.
-* gc: O(1) string comparison when lengths differ,
- various bug fixes.
-* http: return the correct error if a header line is too long.
-* image: add image.Tiled type, the Go equivalent of Plan 9's repl bit.
-* ld: be less picky about bad line number info.
-* misc/cgo/life: fix for new slice rules (thanks Graham Miller).

-This release includes some minor language changes and some significant package
-changes. You may need to change your code if you use ...T parameters or the
-http package.
-
-The semantics and syntax of forwarding ...T parameters have changed.
- func message(f string, s ...interface{}) { fmt.Printf(f, s) }
-Here, s has type []interface{} and contains the parameters passed to message.
-Before this language change, the compiler recognized when a function call
-passed a ... parameter to another ... parameter of the same type, and just
-passed it as though it was a list of arguments. But this meant that you
-couldn't control whether to pass the slice as a single argument and you
-couldn't pass a regular slice as a ... parameter, which can be handy. This
-change gives you that control at the cost of a few characters in the call.
-If you want the promotion to ..., append ... to the argument:
- func message(f string, s ...interface{}) { fmt.Printf(f, s...) }
-Without the ..., s would be passed to Printf as a single argument of type
-[]interface{}. The bad news is you might need to fix up some of your code,
-but the compiler will detect the situation and warn you.
-
-Also, the http.Handler and http.HandlerFunc types have changed. Where http
-handler functions previously accepted an *http.Conn, they now take an interface
-type http.ResponseWriter. ResponseWriter implements the same methods as *Conn,
-so in most cases the only change required will be changing the type signature
-of your handler function's first parameter. See:
- http://golang.org/pkg/http/#Handler
-
-The utf8 package has a new type, String, that provides efficient indexing
-into utf8 strings by rune (previously an expensive conversion to []int
-was required). See:
- http://golang.org/pkg/utf8/#String
-
-The compiler will now automatically insert a semicolon at the end of a file if
-one is not found. This effect of this is that Go source files are no longer
-required to have a trailing newline.
-
-Other changes:
-* 6prof: more accurate usage message.
-* archive/zip: new package for reading Zip files.
-* arm: fix code generation, 10 more package tests pass.
-* asn1: make interface consistent with json.
-* bufio.UnreadRune: fix bug at EOF.

-This release includes changes to the build system that will likely require you
-to make changes to your environment variables and Makefiles.
-
-All environment variables are now optional:
- - $GOOS and $GOARCH are now optional; their values should now be inferred
- automatically by the build system,
- - $GOROOT is now optional, but if you choose not to set it you must run
- 'gomake' instead of 'make' or 'gmake' when developing Go programs
- using the conventional Makefiles,
- - $GOBIN remains optional and now defaults to $GOROOT/bin;
- if you wish to use this new default, make sure it is in your $PATH
- and that you have removed the existing binaries from $HOME/bin.
-
-As a result of these changes, the Go Makefiles have changed. If your Makefiles
-inherit from the Go Makefiles, you must change this line:
- include ../../Make.$(GOARCH)
-to this:
- include ../../Make.inc
-
-This release also removes the deprecated functions in regexp and the
-once package. Any code that still uses them will break.
-See the notes from the last release for details:
- http://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#2010-08-11
-
-Other changes:
-* 6g: better registerization for slices, strings, interface values

-<h2 id="2010-08-11">2010-08-11</h2>
-
-<pre>
-This release introduces some package changes. You may need to change your
-code if you use the once, regexp, image, or exp/draw packages.
-
-The type Once has been added to the sync package. The new sync.Once will
-supersede the functionality provided by the once package. We intend to remove
-the once package after this release. See:
- http://golang.org/pkg/sync/#Once
-All instances of once in the standard library have been replaced with
-sync.Once. Reviewing these changes may help you modify your existing code.
-The relevant changeset:
- http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=fa2c43595119
-
-A new set of methods has been added to the regular expression package, regexp.
-These provide a uniformly named approach to discovering the matches of an
-expression within a piece of text; see the package documentation for details:
- http://golang.org/pkg/regexp/
-These new methods will, in a later release, replace the old methods for
-matching substrings. The following methods are deprecated:
- Execute (use FindSubmatchIndex)
- ExecuteString (use FindStringSubmatchIndex)
- MatchStrings(use FindStringSubmatch)
- MatchSlices (use FindSubmatch)
- AllMatches (use FindAll; note that n<0 means 'all matches'; was n<=0)
- AllMatchesString (use FindAllString; note that n<0 means 'all matches'; was n<=0)
-(Plus there are ten new methods you didn't know you wanted.)
-Please update your code to use the new routines before the next release.
-
-An image.Image now has a Bounds rectangle, where previously it ranged
-from (0, 0) to (Width, Height). Loops that previously looked like:
- for y := 0; y < img.Height(); y++ {
- for x := 0; x < img.Width(); x++ {
- // Do something with img.At(x, y)
- }
- }
-should instead be:
- b := img.Bounds()
- for y := b.Min.Y; y < b.Max.Y; y++ {
- for x := b.Min.X; x < b.Max.X; x++ {
- // Do something with img.At(x, y)
- }
- }
-The Point and Rectangle types have also moved from exp/draw to image.

-This release includes some package changes that may require changes to
-client code.
-
-The Split function in the bytes and strings packages has been changed.
-The count argument, which limits the size of the return, previously treated
-zero as unbounded. It now treats 0 as 0, and will return an empty slice.
-To request unbounded results, use -1 (or some other negative value).
-The new Replace functions in bytes and strings share this behavior.
-This may require you change your existing code.
-
-The gob package now allows the transmission of non-struct values at the
-top-level. As a result, the rpc and netchan packages have fewer restrictions
-on the types they can handle. For example, netchan can now share a chan int.
-
-The release also includes a Code Walk: "Share Memory By Communicating".
-It describes an idiomatic Go program that uses goroutines and channels:
- http://golang.org/doc/codewalk/sharemem/
-
-There is now a Projects page on the Go Dashboard that lists Go programs,
-tools, and libraries:
- http://godashboard.appspot.com/project

-This release contains three language changes:
-
-1. Accessing a non-existent key in a map is no longer a run-time error.
-It now evaluates to the zero value for that type. For example:
- x := myMap[i] is now equivalent to: x, _ := myMap[i]
-
-2. It is now legal to take the address of a function's return value.
-The return values are copied back to the caller only after deferred
-functions have run.
-
-3. The functions panic and recover, intended for reporting and recovering from
-failure, have been added to the spec:
- http://golang.org/doc/go_spec.html#Handling_panics
-In a related change, panicln is gone, and panic is now a single-argument
-function. Panic and recover are recognized by the gc compilers but the new
-behavior is not yet implemented.

-In the gc compilers, this comes at the cost of ensuring that you
-always import a particular package using a consistent import path.
-In the gccgo compiler, the cost is that you must use the -fgo-prefix

-Since the last release there has been one large syntactic change to
-the language, already discussed extensively on this list: semicolons
-are now implied between statement-ending tokens and newline characters.
-See http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts/t/5ee32b588d10f2e9 for
-details.
-
-By default, gofmt now parses and prints the new lighter weight syntax.
-To convert programs written in the old syntax, you can use:
-
- gofmt -oldparser -w *.go
-
-Since everything was being reformatted anyway, we took the opportunity to
-change the way gofmt does alignment. Now gofmt uses tabs at the start
-of a line for basic code alignment, but it uses spaces for alignment of
-interior columns. Thus, in an editor with a fixed-width font, you can
-choose your own tab size to change the indentation, and no matter what
-tab size you choose, columns will be aligned properly.
-
-
-In addition to the syntax and formatting changes, there have been many
-smaller fixes and updates:
-
-6g,8g,5g: many bug fixes, better registerization,
- build process fix involving mkbuiltin (thanks Yongjian Xu),
- method expressions for concrete types
-8l: support for Windows PE files (thanks Hector Chu)
-bytes: more efficient Buffer handling
-bytes, strings: new function Fields (thanks Andrey Mirtchovski)
-cgo: handling of enums (thanks Moriyoshi Koizumi),
- handling of structs with bit fields, multiple files (thanks Devon H. O'Dell),
- installation of .so to non-standard locations
-crypto/sha256: new package for SHA 256 (thanks Andy Davis)
-encoding/binary: support for slices of fixed-size values (thanks Maxim Ushakov)
-exp/vector: experimental alternate vector representation (thanks Jan Mercl)
-fmt: %p for chan, map, slice types
-gob: a couple more bug fixes
-http: support for basic authentication (thanks Ivan Krasin)
-image/jpeg: basic JPEG decoder
-math: correct handling of Inf and NaN in Pow (thanks Charles Dorian)

-Since the last release there are two changes to the language:
-
-* new builtin copy(dst, src) copies n = min(len(dst), len(src))
- elements to dst from src and returns n. It works correctly
- even if dst and src overlap. bytes.Copy is gone.
- Convert your programs using:
- gofmt -w -r 'bytes.Copy(d, s) -> copy(d, s)' *.go
-
-* new syntax x[lo:] is shorthand for x[lo:len(x)].
- Convert your programs using:
- gofmt -w -r 'a[b:len(a)] -> a[b:]' *.go
-
