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.

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

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.

* 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:

time.Nanoseconds() does not exist now, use time.Now().UnixNano() instead

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.

1) Remove the Reset() member in crypto/aes and crypto/des (and
document the change).
2) Turn several empty error structures into vars. Any remaining error
structures are either non-empty, or will probably become so in the
future.
3) Implement SetWriteDeadline for TLS sockets. At the moment, the TLS
status cannot be reused after a Write error, which is probably fine
for most uses.
4) Make crypto/aes and crypto/des return a cipher.Block.

There was a previous attempt at CL 5592043 but that
seems to have stalled. This one is simpler, and more up to date
(correct handling of spdy, for example).

The paragraph describing the ellipses presents the horizontal ellipsis
in two different fonts and at least on my screen they look too different.
Switch to a consistent rendering.

If a printer is configured with the SourcePos mode
set, it will emit //-line comments as necessary to
ensure that the result - if reparsed - reflects the
original source position information.
This change required a bit of reworking of the
output section in printer.go. Specifically:
- Introduced new Config mode 'SourcePos'.
- Introduced new position 'out' which tracks the
position of the generated output if it were read
in again. If there is a discrepancy between out
and the current AST/source position, a //line
comment is emitted to correct for it.
- Lazy emission of indentation so that //line
comments can be placed correctly. As a result,
the trimmer will have to do less work.
- Merged writeItem into writeString.
- Merged writeByteN into writeByte.
- Use a []byte instead of a byte.Buffer both in the
printer and in the trimmer (eliminates dependency).
Also: introduced explicit printer.Mode type (in
sync w/ parser.Mode, scanner.Mode, etc.)
Runs all tests. Applied gofmt to src, misc w/o changes.
Fixes#1047.
Fixes#2697.

(*Writer, error) if they take a compression level, and *Writer otherwise.
Rename gzip's Compressor and Decompressor to Writer and Reader, similar to
flate and zlib.
Clarify commentary when writing gzip metadata that is not representable
as Latin-1, and fix io.EOF comment bug.
Also refactor gzip_test to be more straightforward.

Issue 2856 asks for a rename of a few methods to a
more idiomatic Go style. This is a very early API
that evolved organically throughout the years.
Together with the fact that ErrorVectors were embedded
in other data structures (e.g. Parser), just renaming
methods (e.g. GetError -> Error) would lead to undesired
behavior (e.g., Parser would act like an Error). Instead,
cleaned up API a bit more:
- removed ErrorVector in favor of ErrorList (already
present)
- simplified Scanner.Init by making the error handler a
function instead of requiring an ErrorHandler implementation
- adjusted helper functions accordingly
- updated Go 1 doc
Fixes#2856.

Otherwise, the registration semantics are
init-order-dependent, which I was trying very hard
to avoid in the API. This may break broken programs.

The function has a bizarre signature: it was the only public function there
that exposed the reflect package. Also, its definition is peculiar and hard to
explain. It doesn't merit being exported.
This is an API change but really, it should never have been exported and
it's certain very few programs will depend on it: it's too weird.
Fixes#2846.

This CL introduces new function ListenMulticastUDP to fix
multicast UDP listening across multiple listeners issue,
to replace old multicast methods JoinGroup and LeaveGroup
on UDPConn.
This CL also enables multicast testing by default.

Separating Method from Func made the code only more complicated
without adding much to the useability/readability of the API.
Reverted to where it was, but leaving the new method-specific
fields Orig and Level.
Former clients (godoc) of doc.Method only used the Func fields;
and because Func was embedded, no changes are needed with respect
to the removal of Method.
Changed type of Func.Recv from ast.Expr to string. This was a
long-standing TODO. Also implemented Func.Orig field (another TODO).
No further go/doc API changes are expected for Go 1.

(Sending to r because of the API change.)
This change alters the API for crypto/elliptic to permit different
implementations in the future. This will allow us to add faster,
constant-time implementations of the standard curves without any more
API changes.
As a demonstration, it also adds a constant-time implementation of
P224. Since it's only 32-bit, it's actually only about 40% the speed
of the generic code on a 64-bit system.

Previously, a timeout (in int64 nanoseconds) applied to a granularity
even smaller than one operation: a 100 byte read with a 1 second timeout
could take 100 seconds, if the bytes all arrived on the network 1 second
apart. This was confusing.
Rather than making the timeout granularity be per-Read/Write,
this CL makes callers set an absolute deadline (in time.Time)
after which operations will fail. This makes it possible to
set deadlines at higher levels, without knowing exactly how
many read/write operations will happen in e.g. reading an HTTP
request.
