+  This is most noticeable as lower latency and higher throughput for
+  large allocations being done in parallel and at a high rate.

+  This release adds <code>-d=checkptr</code> as a compile-time option
+  for adding instrumentation to check that Go code is following
+  <code>unsafe.Pointer</code> safety rules dynamically.
+  This option is enabled by default with the <code>-race</code>
+  or <code>-msan</code> flags, and can be disabled
+  with <code>-gcflags=-all=-d=checkptr=0</code>.
+  Specifically, <code>-d=checkptr</code> checks the following:
+</p>
+
+<ol>
+  <li>
+    When converting <code>unsafe.Pointer</code> to <code>*T</code>,
+    the resulting pointer must be aligned appropriately
+    for <code>T</code>.
+  </li>
+  <li>
+    If the result of pointer arithmetic points into a Go heap object,
+    one of the <code>unsafe.Pointer</code>-typed operands must point
+    into the same object.
+  </li>
+</p>
+
+<p><!-- CL 196959 -->
+  Detailed escape analysis diagnostics (<code>-m=2</code>) now work again.
+  This had been dropped from the new escape analysis implementation in
+  the previous release.

+  All Go symbols in macOS binaries now begin with an underscore,
