The public proxy and checksum database launched with Go 1.13 have been
running smoothly, pkg.go.dev is serving module-aware documentation,
and in 1.14 we have improved the vendoring workflow and finished
Subversion support to reach parity with GOPATH mode for users of those
features, updated documentation (including the “How to Write Go Code”
intro document) and published blog posts describing common modes of
usage, and improved the migration path for existing v2+ modules by
making version resolution less aggressive about "+incompatible" major
versions.
We (always) have more fit-and-finish work to do, but at this point we
believe that module mode will provide a better user experience than
GOPATH mode for most users, including in production use.

Previously we would always “upgrade” to the semantically-highest
version, even if a newer compatible version exists.
That made certain classes of mistakes irreversible: in general we
expect users to address bad releases by releasing a new (higher)
version, but if the bad release was an unintended +incompatible
version, then no release that includes a go.mod file can ever have a
higher version, and the bad release will be treated as “latest”
forever.
Instead, when considering a +incompatible version we now consult the
latest compatible (v0 or v1) release first. If the compatible release
contains a go.mod file, we ignore the +incompatible releases unless
they are expicitly requested (by version, commit ID, or branch name).

This change updates the GOARCH/GOOS discussion at the top of the
"Installing Go from source" document to better reflect the current
status. In particular:
- The GOARCH list now focuses on simply listing the supported
architectures, with no notes about their supposed "maturity", since
the same GOARCH can be mature on a GOOS and not so mature on another.
- Outdated notes about some archs being new and "not well-exercised"
have been removed in favour of a following list of which ports are
first class.
- The list of supported OS has been updated (added: AIX, Illumos),
and sorted in alphabetical order.
- A note about the runtime support being the same for all ARCHS,
"including garbage collection and efficient array slicing and" etc etc
has been removed, since it doesn't seem particularly relevant in a
"install from source" instruction page, and it's likely a leftover
from the time this doc page was the landing place for new people and
it felt the need to "sell" Go.

'GOFLAGS=-mod=vendor' currently causes 'go get' to always fail unless
the '-mod' flag is explicitly overwritten. Moreover, as of CL 198319
we plan to set -mod=vendor by default if a vendor directory is
present, so all users with vendor directories will be affected — not
just those who set 'GOFLAGS' explicitly.
Similarly, an explicit '-mod=readonly' argument to 'go get' is
currently ignored as a special case, but the fact that it is ignored
(rather than rejected) can be very surprising.
Rather than adding more special cases, we should remove the '-mod'
flag from 'go get' entirely.

Previously, most operations involving pseudo-versions allowed any
arbitrary combination of version string and date, and would resolve to
the underlying revision (typically a Git commit hash) as long as that
revision existed.
There are a number of problems with that approach:
• The pseudo-version participates in minimal version selection. If its
version prefix is inaccurate, the pseudo-version may appear to have
higher precedence that the releases that follow it, effectively
“pinning” the module to that commit. For release tags, module
authors are the ones who make the decision about release tagging;
they should also have control over the pseudo-version precedence
within their module.
• The commit date within the pseudo-version provides a total order
among pseudo-versions. If it is not accurate, the pseudo-version
will sort into the wrong place relative to other commits with the
same version prefix.
To address those problems, this change restricts the pseudo-versions
that the 'go' command accepts, rendering some previously
accepted-but-not-canonical versions invalid. A pseudo-version is now
valid only if all of:
1. The tag from which the pseudo-version derives points to the named
revision or one of its ancestors as reported by the underlying VCS
tool, or the pseudo-version is not derived from any tag (that is,
has a "vX.0.0-" prefix before the date string and uses the lowest
major version appropriate to the module path).
2. The date string within the pseudo-version matches the UTC timestamp
of the revision as reported by the underlying VCS tool.
3. The short name of the revision within the pseudo-version (such as a
Git hash prefix) is the same as the short name reported by the
underlying cmd/go/internal/modfetch/codehost.Repo. Specifically, if
the short name is a SHA-1 prefix, it must use the same number of
hex digits (12) as codehost.ShortenSHA1.
4. The pseudo-version includes a '+incompatible' suffix only if it is
needed for the corresponding major version, and only if the
underlying module does not have a go.mod file.
We believe that all releases of the 'go' tool have generated
pseudo-versions that meet these constraints. However, a few
pseudo-versions edited by hand or generated by third-party tools do
not. If we discover invalid-but-benign pseudo-versions in widely-used
existing dependencies, we may choose to add a whitelist for those
specific path/version combinations.
―
To work around invalid dependencies in leaf modules, users may add a
'replace' directive from the invalid version to its valid equivalent.
Note that the go command's go.mod parser automatically resolves commit
hashes found in 'replace' directives to the appropriate
pseudo-versions, so in most cases one can write something like:
replace github.com/docker/docker v1.14.0-0.20190319215453-e7b5f7dbe98c => github.com/docker/docker e7b5f7dbe98c
and then run any 'go' command (such as 'go list' or 'go mod tidy') to
resolve it to an appropriate pseudo-version. Note that the invalid
version will still be used in minimal version selection, so this use
of 'replace' directives is an incomplete workaround.
―
One of the common use cases for higher-than-tagged pseudo-versions is
for projects that do parallel development on release branches. For
example, if a project cuts a 'v1.2' release branch at v1.2.0, they may
want future commits on the main branch to show up as pre-releases for
v1.3.0 rather than for v1.2.1 — especially if v1.2.1 is already tagged
on the release branch. (On the other hand, a backport of a patch to
the v1.2 branch should not show up as a pre-release for v1.3.0.)
To address this use-case, module authors can make use of our existing
support for pseudo-versions derived from pre-release tags: if the
author adds an explicit pre-release tag (such as 'v1.3.0-devel') to
the first commit after the branch, then the pseudo-versions for that
commit and its descendents will be derived from that tag and will sort
appropriately in version selection.

The very first paragraph on "Package initialization" stated that
"variables are initialized in declaration order, but after any
variables they might depend on". This phrasing was easily
misread as "declaration order is the first sorting criteria"
and then contradicted what the subsequent paragraphs spelled
out in precise detail.
Instead, variable initialization proceeds by repeatedly determining
a set of ready to initialize variables, and then selecting from that
set the variable declared earliest. That is, declaration order is the
second sorting criteria.
Also, for the purpose of variable initialization, declarations
introducing blank (_) variables are considered like any other
variables (their initialization expressions may have side-effects
and affect initialization order), even though blank identifiers
are not "declared".
This CL adds clarifying language regarding these two issues
and the supporting example.
Both gccgo and go/types implement this behavior. cmd/compile
has a long-standing issue (#22326).
The spec also did not state in which order multiple variables
initialized by a single (multi-value) initialization expression are
handled. This CL adds a clarifying paragraph: If any such variable
is initialized, all that declaration's variables are initialized at
the same time.
This behavior matches user expectation: We are not expecting to
observe partially initialized sets of variables in declarations
such as "var a, b, c = f()".
It also matches existing cmd/compile and go/types (but not gccgo)
behavior.
Finally, cmd/compile, gccgo, and go/types produce different
initialization orders in (esoteric) cases where hidden (not
detected with existing rules) dependencies exist. Added a
sentence and example clarifying how much leeway compilers have
in those situations. The goal is to preserve the ability to
use static initialization while at the same time maintain
the relative initialization order of variables with detected
dependencies.

This CL documents the new binary and octal integer literals,
hexadecimal floats, generalized imaginary literals and digit
separators for all number literals in the spec.
Added empty lines between abutting paragraphs in some places
(a more thorough cleanup can be done in a separate CL).
A minor detail: A single 0 was considered an octal zero per the
syntax (decimal integer literals always started with a non-zero
digit). The new octal literal syntax allows 0o and 0O prefixes
and when keeping the respective octal_lit syntax symmetric with
all the others (binary_lit, hex_lit), a single 0 is not automatically
part of it anymore. Rather than complicating the new octal_lit syntax
to include 0 as before, it is simpler (and more natural) to accept
a single 0 as part of a decimal_lit. This is purely a notational
change.

install.html still insisted that GOROOT must be set if a binary install
of Go is set up in a custom directory. However, since 1.10, this has
been unnecessary as the GOROOT will be found based on the location of
the 'go' binary being run.
Likewise, install-source.html includes an 'export GOROOT' line in a
section that only talks about explicitly setting GOARCH and GOOS, which
is optional. We don't want to have users think it is recommended to set
GOROOT here either, so remove the unnecessary line.

Most of the issues that led to the decision on #30055 were related to
incompatibility with or faulty support for RSA-PSS (#29831, #29779,
v1.5 signatures). RSA-PSS is required by TLS 1.3, but is also available
to be negotiated in TLS 1.2.
Altering TLS 1.2 behavior based on GODEBUG=tls13=1 feels surprising, so
just disable RSA-PSS entirely in TLS 1.2 until TLS 1.3 is on by default,
so breakage happens all at once.

I needed Go 1.10 to debug and fix a test failure on that Go version in
x/tools, but I forgot what the magic 'go get' command for this was.
Googling "download specific golang version" and similar keywords showed
no results, presumably because the golang.org/dl subrepo isn't
prominently recommended nor documented anywhere.
The most appropriate documentation page to add this to is doc/install,
since it goes into some detail and is well indexed. We only need a short
section to introduce the trick.
The example does mention a specific version, Go 1.10.7, but I couldn't
imagine a way to make it version-agnostic while still being clear on
what the commands effectively do.

The spec currently provides a syntactic rule for receiver base types,
and a strict reading of those rules prohibits the use of type aliases
referring to pointer types as receiver types.
This strict interpretation breaks an assumed rule for aliases, which
is that a type literal can always be replaced by an alias denoting
that literal.
Furthermore, cmd/compile always accepted this new formulation of the
receiver type rules and so this change will simply validate what has
been implemented all along.

For many people it's a quality proof if a discord is linked on the official page. I think there are much more people out there, who would prefer to use discord instead of slack or irc.
The discord already got many users without even being promoted, so it's very likely there are many people who are interested in a discord, but they don't want to use unofficial discords. This discord shouldn't be seen as a competitor for the slack, it's a platform for those, who don't want to use slack.

vet to exit with a fatal error (see Issue #21287).
This means that starting with Go1.11, tests that don't typecheck will
fail immediately. This would not normally be an issue, since a test
that doesn't typecheck shouldn't even compile, and it should already
be broken.
Unfortunately, there's a bug in gc that makes it accept programs with
unused variables inside a closure (Issue #3059). This means that a
test with an unused variable inside a closure, that compiled and
passed in Go1.10, will fail in the typechecking step of vet starting
with Go1.11.
Explain this in the 1.11 release notes.

I've reorganized the guide and rewritten large sections.
The structure is now more clear and logical, and can
be understood and navigated using the summary displayed at
the top of the page (before, the summary was confusing because
the guide contained H1s that were being ignored by the summary).
Both the initial onboarding process and the Gerrit
change submission process have been reworked to
include a concise checklist of steps that can be
read and understood in a few seconds, for people
that don't want or need to bother with details.
More in-depth descriptions have been moved into
separate sections, one per each checklist step.
This is by far the biggest improvement, as the previous
approach of having to read several pages just to understand
the requires steps was very scaring for beginners, in
addition of being harder to navigate.
GitHub pull requests have been integrated as a different
way to submit a change, suggested for first time contributors.
The review process has been described in more details,
documenting the workflow and the used conventions.
Most miscellanea have been moved into an "advanced
topics" chapter.
Paragraphs describing how to use git have been removed
to simplify reading. This guide should focus on Go contribution,
and not help users getting familiar with git, for which many

for the latter it shortened the syntax slightly.
This change "inlines" Function which simplifies FunctionDecl and
MethodDecl and gets rid of the Function production.
This has no impact on the specified language. Also, the Function
production is never referred to by the prose, so it's safe to
remove it from the spec.
Finally, neither go/ast nor go/parser have a representation of
this production via a corresponding node or parse function, so

Now the spec consistently uses the terms:

- "alias" for a type name declared in an alias declaration
New prose is encouraged to avoid the term "named type" to counter-

A method expression is of the form T.m where T is a type and m
is a method of that type. The spec restricted T essentially to
a type name. Both cmd/compile and go/types accepted any type
syntactically, and a method expression was really just a form
of a selector expression x.f where x denotes a type.
This CL removes the spec syntax restriction from MethodExpr
to match the actual implementation. It also moves MethodExpr
from Operand to PrimaryExpr, because that's what it is.
It still keeps the separate notion of MethodExpr even though
it looks just like a selector expresion, since a MethodExpr
must start with a type rather than a value, and the spec's
syntax expresses this bit of semantics via distinct productions
(e.g., conversions look like calls but also must start with
a type).

The spec is not conclusive about whether a non-constant shift of
certain untyped constant left operands is valid when the shift
expression appears as an index in an index or slice expression,
or as a size in a `make` function call.
Despite identical spec rules in all these cases, cmd/compile accepts
make([]byte, 1.0 << s)
but pronounces an error for
a[1.0 << s]
(go/types accepts both).
This change clarifies the spec by explicitly stating that an
untyped constant left operand in a non-constant shift (1.0 in
the above examples) will be given type `int` in these contexts.
A separate issue #21693 addresses the cmd/compile bug.

Throughout the spec we use the notion of a constant x being
representable by a value of type T. While intuitively clear,
at least for floating-point and complex constants types, the
concept was not well-defined. In the section on Conversions
there was an extra rule for floating-point types only and it
missed the case of floating-point values overflowing to an
infinity after rounding.
Since the concept is important to Go, and a compiler most
certainly will have a function to test "representability",
it seems warranted to define the term explicitly in the spec.
This change introduces a new entry "Representability" under
the section on "Properties of types and values", and defines
the term explicitly, together with examples.
The phrase used is "representable by" rather than "representable as"
because the former use is prevalent in the spec.
Additionally, it clarifies that a floating-point constant
that overflows to an infinity after rounding is never
representable by a value of a floating-point type, even though
infinities are valid values of IEEE floating point types.
This is required because there are not infinite value constants
in the language (like there is also no -0.0) and representability
also matters for constant conversions. This is not a language
change, and type-checkers have been following this rule before.
The change also introduces links throughout the spec to the new
section as appropriate and removes duplicate text and examples
elsewhere (Constants and Conversions sections), leading to
simplifications in the relevant paragraphs.
Fixes#15389.

spec only said that it must "be converted to unsigned integer type".
go/types accepts any (arbitrarily large) integer value. Both cmd/compile
and gccgo require that the shift count be representable as a uint value
in that case (if the shift count is typed, it may be any unsigned integer
type).
This change adjusts the spec to state what the compilers have been doing
all along. The new wording matches similar rules elsewhere (e.g., for
untyped array and slice indices). Also, while technically this is a
restriction (we could permit arbitrarily large shift counts), in practice
this is irrelevant.
Fixes#14822.

This change removes the punitive language and anonymous reporting mechanism
from the Code of Conduct document. Read on for the rationale.
More than a year has passed since the Go Code of Conduct was introduced.
In that time, there have been a small number (<30) of reports to the Working Group.
Some reports we handled well, with positive outcomes for all involved.
A few reports we handled badly, resulting in hurt feelings and a bad
experience for all involved.
On reflection, the reports that had positive outcomes were ones where the
Working Group took the role of advisor/facilitator, listening to complaints and
providing suggestions and advice to the parties involved.
The reports that had negative outcomes were ones where the subject of the
report felt threatened by the Working Group and Code of Conduct.
After some discussion among the Working Group, we saw that we are most
effective as facilitators, rather than disciplinarians. The various Go spaces
already have moderators; this change to the CoC acknowledges their authority
and places the group in a purely advisory role. If an incident is
reported to the group we may provide information to or make a
suggestion the moderators, but the Working Group need not (and should not) have
any authority to take disciplinary action.
In short, we want it to be clear that the Working Group are here to help
resolve conflict, period.
The second change made here is the removal of the anonymous reporting mechanism.
To date, the quality of anonymous reports has been low, and with no way to
reach out to the reporter for more information there is often very little we
can do in response. Removing this one-way reporting mechanism strengthens the
message that the Working Group are here to facilitate a constructive dialogue.

First steps towards defining type aliases in the spec.
This is a nomenclature clarification, not a language change.
The spec used all three terms 'embedded type', 'anonymous field',
and 'embedded field'. Users where using the terms inconsistently.
The notion of an 'anonymous' field was always misleading since they
always had a de-facto name. With type aliases that name becomes even
more important because we may have different names for the same type.
Use the term 'embedded field' consistently and remove competing
terminology.

A 16bit binary exponent permits a constant range covering roughly the range
from 7e-9865 to 7e9863 which is more than enough for any practical and
hypothetical constant arithmetic.
Furthermore, until recently cmd/compile could not handle very large exponents
correctly anyway; i.e., the chance that any real programs (but for tests that
explore corner cases) are affected are close to zero.
Finally, restricting the minimum supported range significantly reduces the
implementation complexity in an area that hardly matters in reality for new
or alternative spec-compliant implementations that don't or cannot rely on
pre-existing arbitratry precision arithmetic packages that support a 32bit
exponent range.
This is technically a language change but for the reasons mentioned above
this is unlikely to affect any real programs, and certainly not programs
compiled with the gc or gccgo compilers as they currently support up to
32bit exponents.

We could run 10.7 builders, but there's basically no reason to do so,
especially with 10.12 coming out imminently.

We relay this info in a few places, in a few different ways, but not
consistently everywhere. This led one of our users to start googling
and not find https://golang.org/doc/code.html#Workspaces, of which `go
help gopath` is the most equivalent.

Currently the footnote says "gcc is required only if you plan to use cgo",
but the footnote was referenced from the text:
"use the clang or gcc† that comes with Xcode‡ for cgo support"
That seems to imply that clang doesn't get you cgo support on OS X,
which isn't true. The update text matches what the install-source.html
page says.

New Gophers sometimes misconstrue the advice in the "Generality" section
as "export interfaces instead of implementations" and add needless
interfaces to their code as a result. Down the road, they end up
needing to add methods and either break existing callers or have to
resort to unpleasant hacks (e.g. using "magic method" type-switches).
Weaken the first paragraph of this section to only advise leaving types
unexported when they will never need additional methods.
