Go 1.16 adds support of 64-bit ARM architecture on macOS (also known as
|
|
Apple Silicon) with <code>GOOS=darwin</code>, <code>GOARCH=arm64</code>.
|
|
Like the <code>darwin/amd64</code> port, the <code>darwin/arm64</code>
|
|
port supports cgo, internal and external linking, <code>c-archive</code>,
|
|
<code>c-shared</code>, and <code>pie</code> build modes, and the race
|
|
detector.

|
|
The iOS port, which was previously <code>darwin/arm64</code>, is now
|
|
moved to <code>ios/arm64</code>. <code>GOOS=ios</code> implies the
|
|
<code>darwin</code> build tag, just as <code>GOOS=android</code>
|
|
implies the <code>linux</code> build tag.

As <a href="go1.15#386">announced</a> in the Go 1.15 release notes,
|
|
Go 1.16 drops support for x87 mode compilation (<code>GO386=387</code>).
|
|
Support for non-SSE2 processors is now available using soft float
|
|
mode (<code>GO386=softfloat</code>).
|
|
Users running on non-SSE2 processors should replace <code>GO386=387</code>
|
|
with <code>GO386=softfloat</code>.

Module-aware mode is enabled by default, regardless of whether a
|
|
<code>go.mod</code> file is present in the current working directory or a
|
|
parent directory. Specifically, the <code>GO111MODULE</code> environment
|
|
variable now defaults to <code>on</code>. To switch to the previous behavior,
|
|
set <code>GO111MODULE</code> to <code>auto</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/40728 -->
|
|
Build commands like <code>go</code> <code>build</code> and <code>go</code>
|
|
<code>test</code> no longer modify <code>go.mod</code> and <code>go.sum</code>
|
|
by default. Instead, they report an error if a module requirement or checksum
|
|
needs to be added or updated (as if the <code>-mod=readonly</code> flag were
|
|
used). Module requirements and sums may be adjusted with <code>go</code>
|
|
<code>mod</code> <code>tidy</code> or <code>go</code> <code>get</code>.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/40276 -->
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>install</code> now accepts arguments with
|
|
version suffixes (for example, <code>go</code> <code>install</code>
|
|
<code>example.com/cmd@v1.0.0</code>). This causes <code>go</code>
|
|
<code>install</code> to build and install packages in module-aware mode,
|
|
ignoring the <code>go.mod</code> file in the current directory or any parent
|
|
directory, if there is one. This is useful for installing executables without
|
|
affecting the dependencies of the main module.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/40276 -->
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>install</code>, with or without a version suffix (as
|
|
described above), is now the recommended way to build and install packages in
|
|
module mode. <code>go</code> <code>get</code> should be used with the
|
|
<code>-d</code> flag to adjust the current module's dependencies without
|
|
building packages, and use of <code>go</code> <code>get</code> to build and
|
|
install packages is deprecated. In a future release, the <code>-d</code> flag
|
|
will always be enabled.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/24031 -->
|
|
<code>retract</code> directives may now be used in a <code>go.mod</code> file
|
|
to indicate that certain published versions of the module should not be used
|
|
by other modules. A module author may retract a version after a severe problem
|
|
is discovered or if the version was published unintentionally.<br>
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/26603 -->
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>mod</code> <code>vendor</code>
|
|
and <code>go</code> <code>mod</code> <code>tidy</code> subcommands now accept
|
|
the <code>-e</code> flag, which instructs them to proceed despite errors in
|
|
resolving missing packages.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/36465 -->
|
|
The <code>go</code> command now ignores requirements on module versions
|
|
excluded by <code>exclude</code> directives in the main module. Previously,
|
|
the <code>go</code> command used the next version higher than an excluded
|
|
version, but that version could change over time, resulting in
|
|
non-reproducible builds.

|
|
<h4 id="go-test"><code>go</code> <code>test</code></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/29062 -->
|
|
When using <code>go</code> <code>test</code>, a test that
|
|
calls <code>os.Exit(0)</code> during execution of a test function
|
|
will now be considered to fail.
|
|
This will help catch cases in which a test calls code that calls
|
|
<code>os.Exit(0)</code> and thereby stops running all future tests.
|
|
If a <code>TestMain</code> function calls <code>os.Exit(0)</code>
|
|
that is still considered to be a passing test.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/39484 -->
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>test</code> reports an error when the <code>-c</code>
|
|
or <code>-i</code> flags are used together with unknown flags. Normally,
|
|
unknown flags are passed to tests, but when <code>-c</code> or <code>-i</code>
|
|
are used, tests are not run.

<h4 id="go-get"><code>go</code> <code>get</code></h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/37519 -->
|
|
The <code>go</code> <code>get</code> <code>-insecure</code> flag is
|
|
deprecated and will be removed in a future version. This flag permits
|
|
fetching from repositories and resolving custom domains using insecure
|
|
schemes such as HTTP, and also bypassess module sum validation using the
|
|
checksum database. To permit the use of insecure schemes, use the
|
|
<code>GOINSECURE</code> environment variable instead. To bypass module
|
|
sum validation, use <code>GOPRIVATE</code> or <code>GONOSUMDB</code>.
|
|
See <code>go</code> <code>help</code> <code>environment</code> for details.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/cl/263267 -->
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>get</code> <code>example.com/mod@patch</code> now
|
|
requires that some version of <code>example.com/mod</code> already be
|
|
required by the main module.
|
|
(However, <code>go</code> <code>get</code> <code>-u=patch</code> continues
|
|
to patch even newly-added dependencies.)

<h4 id="govcs"><code>GOVCS</code> environment variable</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/266420 -->
|
|
<code>GOVCS</code> is a new environment variable that limits which version
|
|
control tools the <code>go</code> command may use to download source code.
|
|
This mitigates security issues with tools that are typically used in trusted,
|
|
authenticated environments. By default, <code>git</code> and <code>hg</code>
|
|
may be used to download code from any repository. <code>svn</code>,
|
|
<code>bzr</code>, and <code>fossil</code> may only be used to download code
|
|
from repositories with module paths or package paths matching patterns in
|
|
the <code>GOPRIVATE</code> environment variable. See
|
|
<a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Controlling_version_control_with_GOVCS"><code>go</code>
|
|
<code>help</code> <code>vcs</code></a> for details.

|
|
<h4 id="all-pattern">The <code>all</code> pattern</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/cl/240623 -->
|
|
When the main module's <code>go.mod</code> file
|
|
declares <code>go</code> <code>1.16</code> or higher, the <code>all</code>
|
|
package pattern now matches only those packages that are transitively imported
|
|
by a package or test found in the main module. (Packages imported by <em>tests
|
|
of</em> packages imported by the main module are no longer included.) This is
|
|
the same set of packages retained
|
|
by <code>go</code> <code>mod</code> <code>vendor</code> since Go 1.11.

|
<h4 id="toolexec">The <code>-toolexec</code> build flag</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/cl/263357 -->
|
|
When the <code>-toolexec</code> build flag is specified to use a program when
|
|
invoking toolchain programs like compile or asm, the environment variable
|
|
<code>TOOLEXEC_IMPORTPATH</code> is now set to the import path of the package
|
|
being built.

|
|
|
<h4 id="i-flag">The <code>-i</code> build flag</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/issue/41696 -->
|
|
The <code>-i</code> flag accepted by <code>go</code> <code>build</code>,
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>install</code>, and <code>go</code> <code>test</code> is
|
|
now deprecated. The <code>-i</code> flag instructs the <code>go</code> command
|
|
to install packages imported by packages named on the command line. Since
|
|
the build cache was introduced in Go 1.10, the <code>-i</code> flag no longer
|
|
has a significant effect on build times, and it causes errors when the install
|
|
directory is not writable.

<h4 id="list-buildid">The <code>list</code> command</h4>
|
|
|
|
<p><!-- golang.org/cl/263542 -->
|
|
When the <code>-export</code> flag is specified, the <code>BuildID</code>
|
|
field is now set to the build ID of the compiled package. This is equivalent
|
|
to running <code>go</code> <code>tool</code> <code>buildid</code> on
|
|
<code>go</code> <code>list</code> <code>-exported</code> <code>-f</code> <code>{{.Export}</code>,
|
|
but without the extra step.

|
|
C struct bitfields into Go struct fields, even if their size can be
|
|
represented in Go. The order in which C bitfields appear in memory
|
|
is implementation dependent, so in some cases the cgo tool produced
|
|
results that were silently incorrect.

On Linux, the runtime now defaults to releasing memory to the
|
|
operating system promptly (using <code>MADV_DONTNEED</code>), rather
|
|
than lazily when the operating system is under memory pressure
|
|
(using <code>MADV_FREE</code>). This means process-level memory
|
|
statistics like RSS will more accurately reflect the amount of
|

physical memory being used by Go processes. Systems that are

currently using <code>GODEBUG=madvdontneed=1</code> to improve

This release includes additional improvements to the Go linker,

code robustness/maintainability. These changes form the second half

The linker changes in 1.16 extend the 1.15 improvements to all

|
were primarily focused on <code>ELF</code>-based OSes and
|
|
<code>amd64</code> architectures). For a representative set of
|
|
large Go programs, linking is 20-35% faster than 1.15 and requires

5-15% less memory on average for <code>linux/amd64</code>, with larger

improvements for other architectures and OSes.

The case of I/O on a closed network connection, or I/O on a network
|
|
connection that is closed before any of the I/O completes, can now
|
|
be detected using the new <a href="/pkg/net/#ErrClosed">ErrClosed</a> error.
|
|
A typical use would be <code>errors.Is(err, net.ErrClosed)</code>.
|
|
In earlier releases the only way to reliably detect this case was to
|
|
match the string returned by the <code>Error</code> method
|
|
with <code>"use of closed network connection"</code>.

In the <a href="/pkg/net/http/"><code>net/http</code></a> package, the
|
|
behavior of <a href="/pkg/net/http/#StripPrefix"><code>StripPrefix</code></a>
|
|
has been changed to strip the prefix from the request URL's
|
|
<code>RawPath</code> field in addition to its <code>Path</code> field.
|
|
In past releases, only the <code>Path</code> field was trimmed, and so if the
|
|
request URL contained any escaped characters the URL would be modified to
|
|
have mismatched <code>Path</code> and <code>RawPath</code> fields.
|
|
In Go 1.16, <code>StripPrefix</code> trims both fields.
|
|
If there are escaped characters in the prefix part of the request URL the
|
|
handler serves a 404 instead of its previous behavior of invoking the
|
|
underlying handler with a mismatched <code>Path</code>/<code>RawPath</code> pair.
