<h2 id="introduction">DRAFT RELEASE NOTES - Introduction to Go 1.11</h2>

<p>
  <strong>
    Go 1.11 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress
    release notes. Go 1.11 is expected to be released in August 2018.
  </strong>
</p>

<p>
  The latest Go release, version 1.11, arrives six months after <a href="go1.10">Go 1.10</a>.
  Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries.
  As always, the release maintains the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat.html">promise of compatibility</a>.
  We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
</p>

<h2 id="language">Changes to the language</h2>

<p>
  There are no changes to the language specification.
</p>

<h2 id="ports">Ports</h2>

<p> <!-- CL 94255, CL 115038, etc -->
  As <a href="go1.10#ports">announced in the Go 1.10 release notes</a>, Go 1.11 now requires
  OpenBSD 6.2 or later, macOS 10.10 Yosemite or later, or Windows 7 or later;
  Support for previous versions of these operating systems has been removed.
</p>

<p>
  There are <a href="https://golang.org/issue/25206">known issues</a> with NetBSD on i386 hardware.
</p>

<p><!-- CL 107935 -->
  The race detector is now supported on <code>linux/ppc64le</code>
  and, to a lesser extent, on <code>netbsd/amd64</code>. The NetBSD race detector support
  has <a href="https://golang.org/issue/26403">known issues</a>.
</p>

<p><!-- CL 93875 -->
  The build modes <code>c-shared</code> and <code>c-archive</code> are now supported on
  <code>freebsd/amd64</code>.
</p>

<p id="mips"><!-- CL 108475 -->
  On 64-bit MIPS systems, the new environment variable settings
  <code>GOMIPS64=hardfloat</code> (the default) and
  <code>GOMIPS64=softfloat</code> select whether to use
  hardware instructions or software emulation for floating-point computations.
  For 32-bit systems, the environment variable is still <code>GOMIPS</code>,
  as <a href="go1.10#mips">added in Go 1.10</a>.
</p>

<h3 id="wasm">WebAssembly</h3>
<p>
  Go 1.11 adds an experimental port to WebAssembly (<code>js/wasm</code>).
</p>
<p>
  Go programs currently compile to one WebAssembly module that
  includes the Go runtime for goroutine scheduling, garbage
  collection, maps, etc.
  As a result, the resulting size is at minimum around
  2 MB, or 500 KB compressed. Go programs can call into JavaScript
  using the new experimental
  <a href="/pkg/syscall/js/"><code>syscall/js</code></a> package.
  Binary size and interop with other languages has not yet been a
  priority but may be addressed in future releases.
</p>
<p>
  As a result of the addition of the new <code>GOOS</code> value
  "<code>js</code>" and <code>GOARCH</code> value "<code>wasm</code>",
  Go files named <code>*_js.go</code> or <code>*_wasm.go</code> will
  now be <a href="/pkg/go/build/#hdr-Build_Constraints">ignored by Go
  tools</a> except when those GOOS/GOARCH values are being used.
  If you have existing filenames matching those patterns, you will need to rename them.
</p>

<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>

<h3 id="modules">Modules, package versioning, and dependency management</h3>
<p>
  <strong>
    NOTE: This is not present in go1.11beta1 but will be available in future
    betas and subsequent releases.
  </strong>
  Go 1.11 adds experimental support for a new concept called “modules,”
  an alternative to GOPATH with integrated support for versioning and
  package distribution.
  Using modules, developers are no longer confined to working inside GOPATH,
  version dependency information is explicit yet lightweight,
  and builds are more reliable and reproducible.
</p>

<p>
  Module support is considered experimental.
  Details are likely to change in response to feedback from Go 1.11 users,
  and we have more tools planned.
  Although the details of module support may change, projects that convert
  to modules using Go 1.11 will continue to work with Go 1.12 and later.
  If you encounter bugs using modules,
  please <a href="https://golang.org/issue/new">file issues</a>
  so we can fix them.
</p>

<p>
  TODO: Link to intro doc.
</p>

<h3 id="importpath">Import path restriction</h3>

<p>
  Because Go module support assigns special meaning to the
  <code>@</code> symbol in command line operations,
  the <code>go</code> command now disallows the use of
  import paths containing <code>@</code> symbols.
  Such import paths were never allowed by <code>go</code> <code>get</code>,
  so this restriction can only affect users building
  custom GOPATH trees by other means.
</p>

<h3 id="gopackages">Package loading</h2>

<p>
  TODO: Note about go/build versus golang.org/x/tools/go/packages.
</p>

<h3 id="gocache">Build cache requirement</h2>

<p>
  Go 1.11 will be the last release to support setting the environment
  variable <code>GOCACHE=off</code> to disable the
  <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Build_and_test_caching">build cache</a>,
  introduced in Go 1.10.
  Starting in Go 1.12, the build cache will be required,
  as a step toward eliminating <code>$GOPATH/pkg</code>.
  The module and package loading support described above
  already require that the build cache be enabled.
  If you have disabled the build cache to avoid problems you encountered,
  please <a href="https://golang.org/issue/new">file an issue</a> to let us know about them.
</p>

<h2 id="tools">Tools</h2>

<h3 id="test">Test</h3>

<p>
  Since Go1.10, the <code>go</code>&nbsp;<code>test</code> command runs
  <code>go</code>&nbsp;<code>vet</code> on the package being tested,
  to identify problems before running the test. Since <code>vet</code>
  typechecks the code with <a href="/pkg/go/types/">go/types</a>
  before running, tests that do not typecheck will now fail.

  In particular, tests that contain an unused variable inside a
  closure compiled with Go1.10, because the Go compiler incorrectly
  accepted them (<a href="https://golang.org/issues/3059">Issue #3059</a>),
  but will now fail, since <code>go/types</code> correctly reports an
  "unused variable" error in this case.
</p>


<h3 id="vet">Vet</h3>

<p><!-- CL 108555 -->
  The <a href="/cmd/vet/"><code>go</code>&nbsp;<code>vet</code></a>
  command now reports a fatal error when the package under analysis
  does not typecheck. Previously, a type checking error simply caused
  a warning to be printed, and <code>vet</code> to exit with status 1.
</p>


<h2 id="library">Core library</h2>

<p>
  All of the changes to the standard library are minor.
</p>

<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>

<p>
  As always, there are various minor changes and updates to the library,
  made with the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat">promise of compatibility</a>
  in mind.

    <p><!-- CL 123355, CL 123695 -->
      The deprecated, legacy behavior of treating the <code>CommonName</code> field as
      a hostname when no Subject Alternative Names are present is now disabled when the CN is not a
      valid hostname.
      The <code>CommonName</code> can be completely ignored by adding the experimental value
      <code>x509ignoreCN=1</code> to the <code>GODEBUG</code> environment variable.
      When the CN is ignored, certificates without SANs validate under chains with name constraints
      instead of returning <code>NameConstraintsWithoutSANs</code>.
    </p>

    <p><!-- CL 113475 -->
      Extended key usage restrictions are again checked only if they appear in the <code>KeyUsages</code>
      field of <a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#VerifyOptions"><code>VerifyOptions</code></a>, instead of always being checked.
      This matches the behavior of Go 1.9 and earlier.

      On Windows, several fields were changed from <code>uintptr</code> to a new
      <a href="/pkg/syscall/?GOOS=windows&GOARCH=amd64#Pointer"><code>Pointer</code></a>
      type to avoid problems with Go's garbage collector. The same change was made
      to the <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/sys/windows"><code>golang.org/x/sys/windows</code></a>
      package. For any code affected, users should first migrate away from the <code>syscall</code>
      package to the <code>golang.org/x/sys/windows</code> package, and then change
      to using the <code>Pointer</code>, while obeying the
      <a href="/pkg/unsafe/#Pointer"><code>unsafe.Pointer</code> conversion rules</a>.
