This distills the motivational discussion and makes it the introduction to the release notes.
After this lands, I'll expand the discussion of the major changes to include more background.
Updates #3086.

Also reformat the "go fix" references to make them look better by using the non-CW space.
Fixes#3087.

Or, depending on your point of view, make the
comparisons satisfy any surrounding boolean type.
Also, fix a few foo_bar -> fooBar in code fragments.
Fixes#2561.

They are portability problems and the options are almost always zero in practice anyway.

* disallow embedding of C type (Fixes issue 2552)
* detect 0-length array (Fixes issue 2806)
* use typedefs when possible, to avoid attribute((unavailable)) (Fixes issue 2888)
* print Go types constructed from C types using original C types (Fixes issue 2612)
This fix changes _cgo_export.h to repeat the preamble from import "C".
Otherwise the fix to issue 2612 is impossible, since it cannot refer to
types that have not been defined. If people are using //export and
putting non-header information in the preamble, they will need to
refactor their code.

The set of errors forwarded by the os package varied with system and
was therefore non-portable.
Three helpers added for portable error checking: IsExist, IsNotExist, and IsPermission.
One or two more may need to come, but let's keep the set very small to discourage
thinking about errors that way.

When I build it, I got:
/home/njubee/work/golang/doc/codewalk/markov.go:124: undefined: time.Nanoseconds
time.Nanoseconds() does not exist now, use time.Now().UnixNano() instead

hg massively messed up a simple merge for 9d7addec2635 in what I can
only imagine was a public service announcement that everyone should
use git.

This was an implementation detail that snuck into the public interface.
*Writer.Create gives you an io.Writer, the *Writer itself was never
meant to be written to.

Drop reference to "machine type." Specify that integer
overflow must be an error. Drop requirement that exponent
must be 128 bits--that's a lot. Clarify that floating point
expressions may be rounded, including intermediate values.
This is a reworking of https://golang.org/cl/5577068/ .
Fixes#2789.

Restore package os/signal, with new API:
Notify replaces Incoming, allowing clients
to ask for certain signals only. Also, signals
go to everyone who asks, not just one client.
This could plausibly move into package os now
that there are no magic side effects as a result
of the import.
Update runtime for new API: move common Unix
signal handling code into signal_unix.c.
(It's so easy to do this now that we don't have
to edit Makefiles!)
Tested on darwin,linux 386,amd64.
Fixes#1266.
