+
+<pre>
+This release includes some package changes that may require changes to 
+client code.
+
+The Split function in the bytes and strings packages has been changed.
+The count argument, which limits the size of the return, previously treated
+zero as unbounded. It now treats 0 as 0, and will return an empty slice.  
+To request unbounded results, use -1 (or some other negative value).
+The new Replace functions in bytes and strings share this behavior.
+This may require you change your existing code.
+
+The gob package now allows the transmission of non-struct values at the
+top-level. As a result, the rpc and netchan packages have fewer restrictions
+on the types they can handle.  For example, netchan can now share a chan int.
+
+The release also includes a Code Walk: "Share Memory By Communicating".
+It describes an idiomatic Go program that uses goroutines and channels:
+	http://golang.org/doc/codewalk/sharemem/
+
+There is now a Projects page on the Go Dashboard that lists Go programs, 
+tools, and libraries:

+
+Other changes:
+* 6a, 6l: bug fixes.
+* bytes, strings: add Replace.

+* doc/codewalk: add Share Memory By Communicating.
+* exp/draw/x11: implement the mapping from keycodes to keysyms.
+* fmt: Printf: fix bug in handling of %#v, allow other verbs for slices
+        Scan: fix handling of EOFs.
+* gc: bug fixes and optimizations.
