<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/7181 -->
When printing very deep stacks, the runtime now prints the first 50
(innermost) frames followed by the bottom 50 (outermost) frames,
rather than just printing the first 100 frames. This makes it easier
to see how deeply recursive stacks started, and is especially
valuable for debugging stack overflows.

<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.
There are also various performance improvements, not enumerated here.

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/40221, CL 479918 -->
The new <a href="/pkg/context/#WithoutCancel"><code>WithoutCancel</code></a>
function returns a copy of a context that is not canceled when the original
context is canceled.
</p>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/56661, CL 449318 -->
The new <a href="/pkg/context/#WithDeadlineCause"><code>WithDeadlineCause</code></a>
and <a href="/pkg/context/#WithTimeoutCause"><code>WithTimeoutCause</code></a>
functions provide a way to set a context cancellation cause when a deadline or
timer expires. The cause may be retrieved with the
<a href="/pkg/context/#Cause"><code>Cause</code></a> function.
</p>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/57928, CL 482695 -->
The new <a href="/pkg/context/#AfterFunc"><code>AfterFunc</code></a>
function registers a function to run after a context has been cancelled.

The new <a href="/pkg/sync/#OnceFunc"><code>OnceFunc</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/sync/#OnceValue"><code>OnceValue</code></a>, and
<a href="/pkg/sync/#OnceValues"><code>OnceValues</code></a>
functions capture a common use of <a href="/pkg/sync/#Once">Once</a> to
lazily initialize a value on first use.
