<h2 id="introduction">DRAFT RELEASE NOTES — Introduction to Go 1.21</h2>

<p>
  <strong>
    Go 1.21 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress
    release notes. Go 1.21 is expected to be released in August 2023.
  </strong>

<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>

<!-- CL 470695 -->
<p>
  <!-- cmd/dist: default to GOARM=7 on all non-arm systems -->
</p>

<!-- https://go.dev/issue/38248 -->
<p>
  <!-- replace CallImport with go:wasmimport directive -->
</p>

<h3 id="wasip1">WebAssembly</h3>

<!-- https://go.dev/issue/59149 -->
<p>
  <!-- allow the use of go:wasmimport globally -->
</p>

<!-- CL 489255 -->
<p>
  <!-- cmd/compile: remove go:wasmimport restriction -->
</p>

<!-- https://go.dev/issue/56100 -->
<p>
  The Go scheduler now interacts much more efficiently with the
  JavaScript event loop, especially in applications that block
  frequently on asynchronous events.
</p>


<h3 id="wasip1">WebAssembly System Interface</h3>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/58141 -->
  Go 1.21 adds an experimental port to the <a href="https://wasi.dev/">
  WebAssembly System Interface (WASI)</a>, Preview 1
  (<code>GOOS=wasip1</code>, <code>GOARCH=wasm</code>).
</p>

<p>
  As a result of the addition of the new <code>GOOS</code> value
  "<code>wasip1</code>", Go files named <code>*_wasip1.go</code>
  will now be <a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">ignored
  by Go tools</a> except when that <code>GOOS</code> value is being
  used.
  If you have existing filenames matching that pattern, you will
  need to rename them.
</p>

<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>

<!-- https://go.dev/issue/15513 -->
<p>
  <!-- support compiling all tests without running -->
</p>

<h3 id="go-command">Go command</h3>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/58099, CL 474236 -->
  The <code>-pgo</code> build flag now defaults to <code>-pgo=auto</code>,
  and the restriction of specifying a single main package on the command
  line is now removed. If a file named <code>default.pgo</code> is present
  in the main package's directory, the <code>go</code> command will use
  it to enable profile-guided optimization for building the corresponding
  program.
</p>

</p>

<!-- CL 466397 -->
<p>
  <!-- cmd/go: make go test build multiple executables; The go test command now supports using the -c flag with multiple packages. -->
</p>

<h2 id="runtime">Runtime</h2>

<p>
  TODO: complete this section, or delete if not needed
</p>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/7181 -->
  When printing very deep stacks, the runtime now prints the first 50
  (innermost) frames followed by the bottom 50 (outermost) frames,
  rather than just printing the first 100 frames. This makes it easier
  to see how deeply recursive stacks started, and is especially
  valuable for debugging stack overflows.
</p>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/59960 -->
  On Linux platforms that support transparent huge pages, the Go runtime
  now manages which parts of the heap may be backed by huge pages more
  explicitly. This leads to better utilization of memory: small heaps
  should see less memory used (up to 50% in pathological cases) while
  large heaps should see fewer broken huge pages for dense parts of the
  heap, improving CPU usage and latency by up to 1%.
</p>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/57069, https://go.dev/issue/56966 -->
  As a result of runtime-internal garbage collection tuning,
  applications may see up to a 40% reduction in application tail latency
  and a small decrease in memory use. Some applications may also observe
  a small loss in throughput.

  The memory use decrease should be proportional to the loss in
  throughput, such that the previous release's throughput/memory
  tradeoff may be recovered (with little change to latency) by
  increasing <code>GOGC</code> and/or <code>GOMEMLIMIT</code> slightly.

<h2 id="library">Core library</h2>

<h3 id="slog">New log/slog package</h3>

<p>
  The new <a href="/pkg/log/slog">log/slog</a> package provides structured logging with levels.
  Structured logging emits key-value pairs
  to enable fast, accurate processing of large amounts of log data.
  The package supports integration with popular log analysis tools and services.
</p>

<h3 id="slices">New slices package</h3>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/45955, https://go.dev/issue/54768, https://go.dev/issue/57348, https://go.dev/issue/57433, CL 467417, CL 483175 -->
  The new <a href="/pkg/slices">slices</a> package provides many common
  operations on slices, using generic functions that work with slices
  of any element type.
</p>

<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>

<p>
  As always, there are various minor changes and updates to the library,
  made with the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat">promise of compatibility</a>
  in mind.
  There are also various performance improvements, not enumerated here.

      A new type <code>Pinner</code> has been added to the runtime
      package. <code>Pinner</code>s may be used to "pin" Go memory
      such that it may be used more freely by non-Go code. For instance,
      passing Go values that reference pinned Go memory to C code is
      now allowed. Previously, passing any such nested reference was
      disallowed by the
      <a href="https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/cgo#hdr-Passing_pointers">cgo pointer passing rules.</a>

      See <a href="/pkg/runtime#Pinner">the docs</a> for more details.
