++In this release we renamed the Windows OS target from 'mingw' to 'windows'. +If you are currently building for 'mingw' you should set GOOS=windows instead. + +* 5l, 6l, 8l, runtime: make -s binaries work. +* 5l, 6l, 8l: change ELF header so that strip doesn't destroy binary. +* 8l: fix absolute path detection on Windows. +* big: new functions, optimizations, and cleanups, + add bitwise methods for Int (thanks Evan Shaw). +* bytes: Change IndexAny to look for UTF-8 encoded characters. +* darwin: bsdthread_create can fail; print good error. +* fmt: %T missing print+for nil (thanks Christopher Wedgwood). +* gc: many fixes. +* misc/cgo/gmp: fix bug in SetString. +* net: fix resolv.conf EOF without newline bug (thanks Christopher Wedgwood). +* spec: some small clarifications (no language changes). +* syscall: add EWOULDBLOCK to sycall_nacl.go, + force O_LARGEFILE in Linux open system call, + handle EOF on pipe - special case on Windows (thanks Alex Brainman), + mingw Sleep (thanks Joe Poirier). +* test/bench: import new fasta C reference, update Go, optimizations. +* test: test of static initialization (fails). +* vector: use correct capacity in call to make. +* xml: allow text segments to end at EOF. +
