+This weekly snapshot includes a language change and a change to the image +package that may require changes to client code. + +The language change is that an "else" block is now required to have braces +except if the body of the "else" is another "if". Since gofmt always puts those +braces in anyway, programs will not be affected unless they contain "else for", +"else switch", or "else select". Run gofmt to fix any such programs. + +The image package has had significant changes made to the Pix field of struct +types such as image.RGBA and image.NRGBA. The image.Image interface type has +not changed, though, and you should not need to change your code if you don't +explicitly refer to Pix fields. For example, if you decode a number of images +using the image/jpeg package, compose them using image/draw, and then encode +the result using image/png, then your code should still work as before. + +If you do explicitly refer to Pix fields, there are two changes. First, Pix[0] +now refers to the pixel at Bounds().Min instead of the pixel at (0, 0). Second, +the element type of the Pix slice is now uint8 instead of image.FooColor. For +example, for an image.RGBA, the channel values will be packed R, G, B, A, R, G, +B, A, etc. For 16-bits-per-channel color types, the pixel data will be stored +as big-endian uint8s. + +Most Pix field types have changed, and so if your code still compiles after +this change, then you probably don't need to make any further changes (unless +you use an image.Paletted's Pix field). If you do get compiler errors, code +that used to look like this: + + // Get the R, G, B, A values for the pixel at (x, y). + var m *image.RGBA = loadAnImage() + c := m.Pix[y*m.Stride + x] + r, g, b, a := c.R, c.G, c.B, c.A + +should now look like this: + + // Get the R, G, B, A values for the pixel at (x, y). + var m *image.RGBA = loadAnImage() + i := (y-m.Rect.Min.Y)*m.Stride + (x-m.Rect.Min.X)*4 + r := m.Pix[i+0] + g := m.Pix[i+1] + b := m.Pix[i+2] + a := m.Pix[i+3] + +This image package change will not be fixed by gofix: how best to translate +code into something efficient and idiomatic depends on the surrounding context, +and is not easily automatable.
