+  The compiler has a new implementation of escape analysis that is
+  more precise. For most Go code should be an improvement (in other
+  words, more Go variables and expressions allocated on the stack
+  instead of heap). However, this increased precision may also break
+  invalid code that happened to work before (for example, code that
+  violates
+  the <a href="/pkg/unsafe/#Pointer"><code>unsafe.Pointer</code>
+  safety rules</a>). If you notice any regressions that appear
+  related, the old escape analysis pass can be re-enabled
+  with <code>go</code> <code>build</code> <code>-gcflags=all=-newescape=false</code>.
+  The option to use the old escape analysis will be removed in a
+  future release.
+</p>
+
+<p><!-- CL 161904 -->
+  The compiler no longer emits floating point or complex constants
+  to <code>go_asm.h</code> files. These have always been emitted in a
+  form that could not be used as numeric constant in assembly code.

+  The runtime is now more aggressive at returning memory to the
+  operating system to make it available to co-tenant applications.
+  Previously, the runtime could retain memory for five or more minutes
+  following a spike in the heap size. It will now begin returning it
+  promptly after the heap shrinks. However, on many OSes, including
+  Linux, the OS itself reclaims memory lazily, so process RSS will not
+  decrease until the system is under memory pressure.
