+<p><!-- golang.org/issue/43052, golang.org/issue/43985 -->
+  In module mode, the <code>go</code> command now disallows import paths that
+  include non-ASCII characters or path elements with a leading dot character
+  (<code>.</code>). Module paths with these characters were already disallowed
+  (see <a href="/ref/mod#go-mod-file-ident">Module paths and versions</a>),
+  so this change affects only paths within module subdirectories.
