<h3 id="cover">Test coverage</h3>
<p>
One major new feature of <a href="/pkg/go/"><code>go test</code></a> is
that it can now compute and, with help from a new, separately installed
"go tool cover" program, display test coverage results.
</p>
<p>
The cover tool is part of the
<a href="https://code.google.com/p/go/source/checkout?repo=tools"><code>go.tools</code></a>
subrepository.
It can be installed by running
</p>
<pre>
$ go get code.google.com/p/go.tools/cmd/cover
</pre>
<p>
The cover tool does two things.
First, when "go test" is given the <code>-cover</code> flag, it is run automatically
to rewrite the source for the package and insert instrumentation statements.
The test is then compiled and run as usual, and basic coverage statistics are reported:
</p>
<pre>
$ go test -cover fmt
ok fmt 0.060s coverage: 91.4% of statements
$
</pre>
<p>
Second, for more detailed reports, different flags to "go test" can create a coverage profile file,
which the cover program, invoked with "go tool cover", can then analyze.
</p>
<p>
Details on how to generate and analyze coverage statistics can be found by running the commands
</p>
<pre>
$ go help testflag
$ go tool cover -help
</pre>
<h3 id="go_doc">The go doc command is deleted</h3>
<p>
The "go doc" command is deleted.
Note that the <a href="/cmd/godoc/"><code>godoc</code></a> tool itself is not deleted,
just the wrapping of it by the <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go</code></a> command.
All it did was show the documents for a package by package path,
which godoc itself already does with more flexibility.
It has therefore been deleted to reduce the number of documentation tools and,
as part of the restructuring of godoc, encourage better options in future.
</p>
<p>
<em>Updating</em>: For those who still need the precise functionality of running
</p>
<pre>
$ go doc

<p>
in a directory, the behavior is identical to running
</p>
<pre>
$ godoc .

<p>
The <a href="/cmd/go/"><code>go get</code></a> command
now has a <code>-t</code> flag that causes it to download the dependencies
of the tests run by the package, not just those of the package itself.
By default, as before, dependencies of the tests are not downloaded.

<em>Updating</em>: Neither the "else if" change nor the comparison functions

already define functions called <code>eq</code> and so on through a function
map are unaffected because the associated function map will override the new
default function definitions.

net: TODO new build tag netgo for building a pure Go net package (CL 7100050).
The <a href="/pkg/net/"><code>net</code></a> package requires cgo by default
because the host operating system must in general mediate network call setup.
On some systems, though, it is possible to use the network without cgo, and useful
to do so, for instance to avoid dynamic linking.
The new build tag <code>netgo</code> (off by default) allows the construction of a
<code>net</code> package in pure Go on those systems where it is possible.
