|

|

<pre>
|
||||
Since the last release there has been one large syntactic change to
|
||||
the language, already discussed extensively on this list: semicolons
|
||||
are now implied between statement-ending tokens and newline characters.
|
||||
See http://groups.google.com/group/golang-nuts/t/5ee32b588d10f2e9 for
|
||||
details.
|
||||
|
||||
By default, gofmt now parses and prints the new lighter weight syntax.
|
||||
To convert programs written in the old syntax, you can use:
|
||||
|
||||
gofmt -oldparser -w *.go
|
||||
|
||||
Since everything was being reformatted anyway, we took the opportunity to
|
||||
change the way gofmt does alignment. Now gofmt uses tabs at the start
|
||||
of a line for basic code alignment, but it uses spaces for alignment of
|
||||
interior columns. Thus, in an editor with a fixed-width font, you can
|
||||
choose your own tab size to change the indentation, and no matter what
|
||||
tab size you choose, columns will be aligned properly.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
In addition to the syntax and formatting changes, there have been many
|
||||
smaller fixes and updates:
|
||||
|
||||
6g,8g,5g: many bug fixes, better registerization,
|
||||
build process fix involving mkbuiltin (thanks Yongjian Xu),
|
||||
method expressions for concrete types
|
||||
8l: support for Windows PE files (thanks Hector Chu)
|
||||
bytes: more efficient Buffer handling
|
||||
bytes, strings: new function Fields (thanks Andrey Mirtchovski)
|
||||
cgo: handling of enums (thanks Moriyoshi Koizumi),
|
||||
handling of structs with bit fields, multiple files (thanks Devon H. O'Dell),
|
||||
installation of .so to non-standard locations
|
||||
crypto/sha256: new package for SHA 256 (thanks Andy Davis)
|
||||
encoding/binary: support for slices of fixed-size values (thanks Maxim Ushakov)
|
||||
exp/vector: experimental alternate vector representation (thanks Jan Mercl)
|
||||
fmt: %p for chan, map, slice types
|
||||

Since the last release there are two changes to the language:
|
||||
|
||||
* new builtin copy(dst, src) copies n = min(len(dst), len(src))
|
||||
elements to dst from src and returns n. It works correctly
|
||||
even if dst and src overlap. bytes.Copy is gone.
|
||||
Convert your programs using:
|
||||
gofmt -w -r 'bytes.Copy(d, s) -> copy(d, s)' *.go
|
||||
|
||||
* new syntax x[lo:] is shorthand for x[lo:len(x)].
|
||||
Convert your programs using:
|
||||
gofmt -w -r 'a[b:len(a)] -> a[b:]' *.go
|
||||
|
||||
In addition, there have been many smaller fixes and updates:

|
||||
starting to make build work with mingw (thanks Hector Chu),
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
new function Runes (thanks Peter Froehlich),
|
||||
performance tuning in bytes.Buffer.
|
||||
