Go 1.15 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress release notes. Go 1.15 is expected to be released in August 2020.

TODO
The GOPROXY environment variable now supports skipping proxies
that return errors. Proxy URLs may now be separated with either commas
(,) or pipe characters (|). If a proxy URL is
followed by a comma, the go command will only try the next proxy
in the list after a 404 or 410 HTTP response. If a proxy URL is followed by a
pipe character, the go command will try the next proxy in the
list after any error. Note that the default value of GOPROXY
remains https://proxy.golang.org,direct, which does not fall
back to direct in case of errors.
TODO
go test
Changing the -timeout flag now invalidates cached test results. A
cached result for a test run with a long timeout will no longer count as
passing when go test is re-invoked with a short one.
Various flag parsing issues in go test and
go vet have been fixed. Notably, flags specified
in GOFLAGS are handled more consistently, and
the -outputdir flag now interprets relative paths relative to the
working directory of the go command (rather than the working
directory of each individual test).
TODO
TODO
The testing.T type now has a Deadline method
that reports the time at which the test binary will have exceeded its
timeout.
A TestMain function is no longer required to call
os.Exit. If a TestMain function returns,
the test binary will call os.Exit with the value returned
by m.Run.
As always, there are various minor changes and updates to the library, made with the Go 1 promise of compatibility in mind.
TODO
When the flag package sees -h or -help, and
those flags are not defined, the flag package prints a usage message.
If the FlagSet was created with
ExitOnError,
FlagSet.Parse would then
exit with a status of 2. In this release, the exit status for -h
or -help has been changed to 0. In particular, this applies to
the default handling of command line flags.
The new URL
method Redacted
returns the URL in string form with any password replaced with xxxxx.
If panic is invoked with a value whose type is derived from any
of: bool, complex64, complex128, float32, float64,
int, int8, int16, int32, int64, string,
uint, uint8, uint16, uint32, uint64, uintptr,
then the value will be printed, instead of just its address.
The new method
Map.LoadAndDelete
atomically deletes a key and returns the previous value if present.
The method
Map.Delete
is more efficient.
The new methods
T.TempDir and
B.TempDir and
return temporary directories that are automatically cleaned up
at the end of the test.
The new method
Ticker.Reset
supports changing the duration of a ticker.
