+The <code>"go1.1</code>" tag has been added to the list of default
+<a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">build constraints</a>.
+This permits packages to take advanage of the new features in Go 1.1 while
+remaining compatible with earlier versions of Go.

+To build a file only with Go 1.1 and above, add this build constraint:

+To build a file only with Go 1.0.x, use the converse constraint:
