go/doc/go1.4.txt

This file collects notes about what has changed since Go 1.3
and should be mentioned in the Go 1.4 release notes.

Please keep the descriptions to a single line, starting with the
package or cmd/xxx directory name, and ending in a CL number.
Please keep the list sorted (as in sort.Strings of the lines).

spec: permit for range x (CL 104680043)

cmd/6l, liblink: use pc-relative addressing for all memory references, so that linking Go binaries at high addresses works (CL 125140043). This cuts the maximum size of a Go binary's text+data+bss from 4GB to 2GB.
cmd/go: import comments (CL 124940043)
cmd/go: implement "internal" (CL 120600043)

asm: make textflag.h available outside of cmd/ld (CL 128050043)
crypto/tls: add support for ALPN (RFC 7301) (CL 108710046)
crypto/tls: support programmatic selection of server certificates (CL 107400043)
encoding/gob: remove unsafe (CL 102680045)
misc: deleted editor support; refer to https://code.google.com/p/go-wiki/wiki/IDEsAndTextEditorPlugins instead (CL 105470043)
os: implement symlink support for windows (CL 86160044)
runtime: implement monotonic clocks on windows (CL 108700045)
runtime/race: freebsd is supported (CL 107270043)
syscall: Setuid, Setgid are disabled on linux platforms. On linux those syscalls operate on the calling thread, not the whole process. This does not match the semantics of other platforms, nor the expectations of the caller, so the operations have been disabled until issue 1435 is resolved (CL 106170043)
syscal: now frozen (CL 129820043)
testing: add Coverage (CL 98150043)
text/scanner: add IsIdentRune field of Scanner. (CL 108030044)
time: use the micro symbol (µ (U+00B5)) to print microsecond duration (CL 105030046)
encoding/asn1: optional elements with a default value will now only be omitted if they have that value (CL 86960045).
