golang (2:1-1) unstable; urgency=low Go 1 is a major release of Go that will be stable in the long term. It is intended that programs written for Go 1 will continue to compile and run correctly, unchanged, under future versions of Go 1. The Go 1 release notes list the significant changes since the last release and explain how to update your code: http://golang.org/doc/go1.html To learn about the future of Go 1, read the Go 1 compatibility document: http://golang.org/doc/go1compat.html -- Ondřej Surý Fri, 06 Apr 2012 16:02:17 +0200 golang (1:58-1) unstable; urgency=low Most significant upstream changes in this release: * As usual, gofix will handle the bulk of the rewrites necessary for these changes to package APIs. * Package http drops the finalURL return value from the Client.Get method. The value is now available via the new Request field on http.Response. Most instances of the type map[string][]string in have been replaced with the new Values type. * Package exec has been redesigned with a more convenient and succinct API. * Package strconv's Quote function now escapes only those Unicode code points not classified as printable by unicode.IsPrint. Previously Quote would escape all non-ASCII characters. This also affects the fmt package's "%q" formatting directive. The previous quoting behavior is still available via strconv's new QuoteToASCII function. * Package os/signal's Signal and UnixSignal types have been moved to the os package. * Package image/draw is the new name for exp/draw. The GUI-related code from exp/draw is now located in the exp/gui package. * Goinstall now observes the GOPATH environment variable to build and install your own code and external libraries outside of the Go tree (and avoid writing Makefiles). -- Ondřej Surý Thu, 30 Jun 2011 15:39:21 +0200
