<p>This page summarizes the changes between tagged releases of Go.
For full details, see the <a href="http://code.google.com/p/go/source/list">Mercurial change log</a>.</p>

+
+<pre>
+This release includes changes to the build system that will likely require you
+to make changes to your environment variables and Makefiles.
+
+All environment variables are now optional:
+ - $GOOS and $GOARCH are now optional; their values should now be inferred
+ automatically by the build system,
+ - $GOROOT is now optional, but if you choose not to set it you must run
+ 'gomake' instead of 'make' or 'gmake' when developing Go programs
+ using the conventional Makefiles,
+ - $GOBIN remains optional and now defaults to $GOROOT/bin;
+ if you wish to use this new default, make sure it is in your $PATH
+ and that you have removed the existing binaries from $HOME/bin.
+
+As a result of these changes, the Go Makefiles have changed. If your Makefiles
+inherit from the Go Makefiles, you must change this line:
+ include ../../Make.$(GOARCH)
+to this:
+ include ../../Make.inc
+
+This release also removes the deprecated functions in regexp and the
+once package. Any code that still uses them will break.
+See the notes from the last release for details:
+ http://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#2010-08-11
+

These new methods will, in a later release, replace the old methods for
matching substrings. The following methods are deprecated:
- Execute (use Find)
- ExecuteString (use FindString)
+ Execute (use FindSubmatchIndex)
+ ExecuteString (use FindStringSubmatchIndex)
MatchStrings(use FindStringSubmatch)
MatchSlices (use FindSubmatch)
AllMatches (use FindAll; note that n<0 means 'all matches'; was n<=0)
