<h4 id="go-unix">New <code>unix</code> build constraint</h4>

<p><!-- CL 389934 -->
  The build constraint <code>unix</code> is now recognized
  in <code>//go:build</code> lines. The constraint is satisfied
  if the target operating system, also known as <code>GOOS</code>, is
  a Unix or Unix-like system. For the 1.19 release it is satisfied
  if <code>GOOS</code> is one of
  <code>aix</code>, <code>android</code>, <code>darwin</code>,
  <code>dragonfly</code>, <code>freebsd</code>, <code>hurd</code>,
  <code>illumos</code>, <code>ios</code>, <code>linux</code>,
  <code>netbsd</code>, <code>openbsd</code>, or <code>solaris</code>.
  In future releases the <code>unix</code> constraint may match
  additional newly supported operating systems.

    <p><!-- CL 386016 -->
      The pure Go resolver will now use EDNS(0) to include a suggested
      maximum reply packet length, permitting reply packets to contain
      up to 1232 bytes (the previous maximum was 512).
      In the unlikely event that this causes problems with a local DNS
      resolver, setting the environment variable
      <code>GODEBUG=netdns=cgo</code> to use the cgo-based resolver
      should work.
      Please report any such problems on <a href="/issue/new">the
      issue tracker</a>.
