You can continue to keep your Go installation updated using "hg update release", but now you should only need to update once we tag a new stable release, which we will announce here. If you wish to stay at the leading edge, you should switch to the weekly tag with "hg update weekly". You can continue to keep your Go installation updated using "hg update

The closed function has been removed from the language. The syntax for channel receives has been changed to return an optional second value, a boolean value indicating whether the channel is closed. This code: The closed function has been removed from the language. The syntax for channel

It is now illegal to declare unused labels, just as it is illegal to declare unused local variables. It is now illegal to declare unused labels, just as it is illegal to declare

The new gofix tool finds Go programs that use old APIs and rewrites them to use newer ones. After you update to a new Go release, gofix helps make the necessary changes to your programs. Gofix will handle the http, os, and syscall package changes described below, and we will update the program to keep up with future changes to the libraries.

The gob package will now encode and decode values of types that implement the gob.GobEncoder and gob.GobDecoder interfaces. This allows types with unexported fields to transmit self-consistent descriptions; one instance is big.Int and big.Rat. The gob package will now encode and decode values of types that implement the
