+The r60 release corresponds to
+weekly.2011-08-17.
+This section highlights the most significant changes in this release.
+For a more detailed summary, see the
+weekly release notes.
+For complete information, see the
+Mercurial change list.
+
+An "else" block is now required to have braces except if the body of the "else" +is another "if". Since gofmt always puts those braces in anyway, +gofmt-formatted programs will not be affected. +To fix other programs, run gofmt. +
+ +
+Package http's URL parsing and query escaping code
+(such as ParseURL and URLEscape) has been moved to
+the new url package, with several simplifications to
+the names. Client code can be updated automatically with gofix.
+
+Package image has had significant changes made to the
+Pix field of struct types such as
+image.RGBA and
+image.NRGBA.
+The image.Image interface type has not changed,
+though, and you should not need to change your code if you don't explicitly
+refer to Pix fields. For example, if you decode a number of images
+using the image/jpeg package, compose them using
+image/draw, and then encode the result using
+image/png, then your code should still work as
+before.
+If your code does refer to Pix fields see the
+weekly.2011-07-19
+snapshot notes for how to update your code.
+
+Package template has been replaced with a new
+templating package (formerly exp/template). The original template
+package is still available as old/template.
+The old/template package is deprecated and will be removed.
+The Go tree has been updated to use the new template package. We encourage
+users of the old template package to switch to the new one. Code that uses
+template or exp/template will need to change its
+import lines to "old/template" or "template",
+respectively.
+
+Goinstall now uses a new tag selection scheme.
+When downloading or updating, goinstall looks for a tag or branch with the
+"go." prefix that corresponds to the local Go version. For Go
+release.r58 it looks for go.r58. For
+weekly.2011-06-03 it looks for go.weekly.2011-06-03.
+If the specific go.X tag or branch is not found, it chooses the
+closest earlier version. If an appropriate tag or branch is found, goinstall
+uses that version of the code. Otherwise it uses the default version selected
+by the version control system. Library authors are encouraged to use the
+appropriate tag or branch names in their repositories to make their libraries
+more accessible.
