<h2 id="introduction">DRAFT RELEASE NOTES - Introduction to Go 1.12</h2>

<p>
  <strong>
    Go 1.12 is not yet released. These are work-in-progress
    release notes. Go 1.12 is expected to be released in February 2019.
  </strong>
</p>

<p>
  The latest Go release, version 1.12, arrives six months after <a href="go1.11">Go 1.11</a>.
  Most of its changes are in TODO.
  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>

<h3 id="freebsd">FreeBSD</h3>

<p>
  Go 1.12 is the last release that is supported on FreeBSD 10.x, which has
  already reached end-of-life. Go 1.13 will require FreeBSD 11.2+ or FreeBSD
  12.0+.
</p>

<h3 id="darwin">Darwin</h3>

<p>
Go 1.12 is the last release that will run on macOS 10.10 Yosemite.
Go 1.13 will require macOS 10.11 El Capitan or later.
</p>

<h3 id="windows">Windows</h3>

<p>
  TODO: status of ARM32 port?
</p>

<h3 id="aix">AIX</h3>

<p>
  TODO: status of AIX port?
</p>

<h3 id="hurd">Hurd</h3>

<p><!-- CL 146023 -->
  <code>hurd</code> is now a recognized value for <code>GOOS</code>, reserved
  for the GNU/Hurd system for use with <code>gccgo</code>.
</p>

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

<h3 id="vet"><code>go tool vet</code> no longer supported</h3>

<p>
  The <code>go vet</code> command has been rewritten to serve as the
  base for a range of different source code analysis tools. See
  the <a href="https://godoc.org/golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis">golang.org/x/tools/go/analysis</a>
  package for details. A side-effect is that <code>go tool vet</code>
  is no longer supported. External tools that use <code>go tool
  vet</code> must be changed to use <code>go
  vet</code>. Using <code>go vet</code> instead of <code>go tool
  vet</code> should work with all supported versions of Go.
</p>

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

<p>
  The build cache is now required as a step toward eliminating
  <code>$GOPATH/pkg</code>. Setting the environment variable
  <code>GOCACHE=off</code> to disable the
  <a href="/cmd/go/#hdr-Build_and_test_caching">build cache</a>
  has no effect in Go 1.12.
</p>

<h3 id="binary-only">Binary-only packages</h3>

<p>
  Go 1.12 is the last release that will support binary-only packages.
</p>

<h3 id="modules">Modules</h3>

<p><!-- CL 148517 -->
  When <code>GO111MODULE</code> is set to <code>on</code>, the <code>go</code>
  command now supports module-aware operations outside of a module directory,
  provided that those operations do not need to resolve import paths relative to
  the current directory or explicitly edit the <code>go.mod</code> file.
  Commands such as <code>go</code> <code>get</code>,
  <code>go</code> <code>list</code>, and
  <code>go</code> <code>mod</code> <code>download</code> behave as if in a
  module with initially-empty requirements.
  In this mode, <code>go</code> <code>env</code> <code>GOMOD</code> reports
  the system's null device (<code>/dev/null</code> or <code>NUL</code>).
</p>

<p><!-- CL 146382 -->
  <code>go</code> commands that download and extract modules are now safe to
  invoke concurrently.
  The module cache (<code>GOPATH/pkg/mod</code>) must reside in a filesystem that
  supports file locking.
</p>

<p><!-- CL 147282, 147281 -->
  The <code>go</code> directive in a <code>go.mod</code> file now indicates the
  version of the language used by the files within that module, and
  <code>go</code> <code>mod</code> <code>tidy</code> sets it to the
  current release (<code>go</code> <code>1.12</code>) if no existing
  version is present.
  If the <code>go</code> directive for a module specifies a
  version <em>newer</em> than the toolchain in use, the <code>go</code> command
  will attempt to build the packages regardless, and will note the mismatch only if
  that build fails.
</p>

<p><!-- CL 152739 -->
  When an import cannot be resolved using the active modules,
  the <code>go</code> command will now try to use the modules mentioned in the
  main module's <code>replace</code> directives before consulting the module
  cache and the usual network sources.
  If a matching replacement is found but the <code>replace</code> directive does
  not specify a version, the <code>go</code> command uses a pseudo-version
  derived from the zero <code>time.Time</code> (such
  as <code>v0.0.0-00010101000000-000000000000</code>).
</p>

<h3 id="compiler">Compiler toolchain</h3>

<p><!-- CL 134155, 134156 -->
  The compiler's live variable analysis has improved. This may mean that
  finalizers will be executed sooner in this release than in previous
  releases. If that is a problem, consider the appropriate addition of a
  <a href="/pkg/runtime/#KeepAlive"><code>runtime.KeepAlive</code></a> call.
</p>

<p><!-- CL 147361 -->
  More functions are now eligible for inlining by default, including
  functions that do nothing but call another function.
  This extra inlining makes it additionally important to use
  <a href="/pkg/runtime/#CallersFrames"><code>runtime.CallersFrames</code></a>
  instead of iterating over the result of
  <a href="/pkg/runtime/#Callers"><code>runtime.Callers</code></a> directly.
<pre>
// Old code which no longer works correctly (it will miss inlined call frames).
var pcs [10]uintptr
n := runtime.Callers(1, pcs[:])
for _, pc := range pcs[:n] {
	f := runtime.FuncForPC(pc)
	if f != nil {
		fmt.Println(f.Name())
	}
}
</pre>
<pre>
// New code which will work correctly.
var pcs [10]uintptr
n := runtime.Callers(1, pcs[:])
frames := runtime.CallersFrames(pcs[:n])
for {
	frame, more := frames.Next()
	fmt.Println(frame.Function)
	if !more {
		break
	}
}
</pre>
</p>

<p><!-- CL 144340 -->
  The compiler now accepts a <code>-lang</code> flag to set the Go language
  version to use. For example, <code>-lang=go1.8</code> causes the compiler to
  emit an error if the program uses type aliases, which were added in Go 1.9.
  Language changes made before Go 1.12 are not consistently enforced.
</p>

<h3 id="godoc">Godoc</h3>

<p>
  In Go 1.12, <code>godoc</code> no longer has a command-line interface and
  is only a web server. Users should use <code>go</code> <code>doc</code>
  for command-line help output instead.
</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.

        <li>NaN compares less than non-NaN floats

      advertised from HTTP/2 servers as strictly as it did during Go 1.10 and Go 1.11. The default behavior is now back
      to how it was in Go 1.9: each connection to a server can have up to <code>MAX_CONCURRENT_STREAMS</code> requests
      active and then new TCP connections are created as needed. In Go 1.10 and Go 1.11 the <code>http2</code> package
      would block and wait for requests to finish instead of creating new connections.
      To get the stricter behavior back, import the

      The new <a href="/pkg/strings/#Builder.Cap"><code>Builder.Cap</code></a> method returns the capacity of the builder's underlying byte slice.

      The character mapping functions <a href="/pkg/strings/#Map"><code>Map</code></a>,
      <a href="/pkg/strings/#Title"><code>Title</code></a>,
      <a href="/pkg/strings/#ToLower"><code>ToLower</code></a>,
      <a href="/pkg/strings/#ToLowerSpecial"><code>ToLowerSpecial</code></a>,
      <a href="/pkg/strings/#ToTitle"><code>ToTitle</code></a>,
      <a href="/pkg/strings/#ToTitleSpecial"><code>ToTitleSpecial</code></a>,
      <a href="/pkg/strings/#ToUpper"><code>ToUpper</code></a>, and
      <a href="/pkg/strings/#ToUpperSpecial"><code>ToUpperSpecial</code></a>
      now always guarantee to return valid UTF-8. In earlier releases, if the input was invalid UTF-8 but no character replacements
      needed to be applied, these routines incorrectly returned the invalid UTF-8 unmodified.
