<p><!-- golang.org/issue/43684 -->
<code>go</code> <code>get</code> no longer builds or installs packages in
module-aware mode. <code>go</code> <code>get</code> is now dedicated to
adjusting dependencies in <code>go.mod</code>. Effectively, the
<code>-d</code> flag is always enabled. To install the latest version
of an executable outside the context of the current module, use
<a href="https://golang.org/ref/mod#go-install"><code>go</code>
<code>install</code> <code>example.com/cmd@latest</code></a>. Any
<a href="https://golang.org/ref/mod#version-queries">version query</a>
may be used instead of <code>latest</code>. This form of <code>go</code>
<code>install</code> was added in Go 1.16, so projects supporting older
versions may need to provide install instructions for both <code>go</code>
<code>install</code> and <code>go</code> <code>get</code>. <code>go</code>
<code>get</code> now reports an error when used outside a module, since there
is no <code>go.mod</code> file to update. In GOPATH mode (with
<code>GO111MODULE=off</code>), <code>go</code> <code>get</code> still builds
and installs packages, as before.

<h3 id="gofmt"><code>gofmt</code></h3>
<p><!-- https://golang.org/issue/43566 -->
<code>gofmt</code> now reads and formats input files concurrently, with a
memory limit proportional to <code>GOMAXPROCS</code>. On a machine with
multiple CPUs, gofmt should now be significantly faster.

<p><!-- CL 340049 -->
The <code>Draw</code> and <code>DrawMask</code> fallback implementations
(used when the arguments are not the most common image types) are now
faster when those arguments implement the optional
<a href="/pkg/image/draw/#RGBA64Image"><code>draw.RGBA64Image</code></a>
and <a href="/pkg/image/#RGBA64Image"><code>image.RGBA64Image</code></a>
interfaces that were added in Go 1.17.

<p><!-- CL 336550 -->
The new function <a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#SyscallN"><code>SyscallN</code></a>
has been introduced for Windows, allowing for calls with arbitrary number
of arguments. As results,
<a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#Syscall"><code>Syscall</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#Syscall6"><code>Syscall6</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#Syscall9"><code>Syscall9</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#Syscall12"><code>Syscall12</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#Syscall15"><code>Syscall15</code></a>, and
<a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#Syscall18"><code>Syscall18</code></a> are
deprecated in favor of <a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows#SyscallN"><code>SyscallN</code></a>.
