Overall:
- toolchain in Go
- new GC
- go tool asm, go tool compile, go tool link
- default output files changed: now file.o and a.out
- internal enforced even outside standard library (golang.org/s/go14internal; https://golang.org/cl/9156)
- gomaxprocs=numcpu (golang.org/s/go15gomaxprocs)
Language:
- permit omission of key type in map composite literals where key is a composite literal (https://golang.org/cl/2591)
Build:
- Go 1.4 required to build (https://golang.org/cl/2470, https://golang.org/cl/2993)
New Ports:
- darwin/arm, a.k.a iOS. (https://golang.org/cl/2118, 2119, 3273, 2121, 2122, ..., 2127)
- darwin/arm64
- linux/arm64 (cgo is supported, but only with external linking)
- openbsd/arm (no cgo or external linking)
Removed Ports:
- dragonfly/386 (https://golang.org/cl/7543)
- The port to Snow Leopard (OS X 10.6) is no longer actively maintained.
Runtime:
- goroutine scheduling order changed; never guaranteed by language,
but can break tests that implicitly assume a specific execution
order

Assembler:
New cmd/asm tool (now use go tool asm, not go tool 6a)
Assembler now supports -dynlink option.
ARM assembly syntax has had some features removed.
- mentioning SP or PC as a hardware register
These are always pseudo-registers except that in some contexts
they're not, and it's confusing because the context should not affect
which register you mean. Change the references to the hardware
registers to be explicit: R13 for SP, R15 for PC.
- constant creation using assignment
The files say a=b when they could instead say #define a b.
There is no reason to have both mechanisms.
- R(0) to refer to R0.
Some macros use this to a great extent. Again, it's easy just to
use a #define to rename a register.
Also expression evaluation now uses uint64s instead of signed integers and the
precedence of operators is now Go-like rather than C-like.
Standard library hardening
35 bugs found by randomized testing with go-fuzz (https://github.com/dvyukov/go-fuzz)
were fixed in fmt, archive/zip, archive/tar, encoding/gob, image/jpeg, image/png,
image/gif, compress/flate, text/template, html/template. The fixes harden implementation
against incorrect and malicious inputs.
