- Includes bug fixes to the linker and the log, syscall, and runtime packages.
New in Go 1.4 (Jan 16, 2015)
- Contains only one tiny language change, in the form of a backwards-compatible simple variant of for-range loop, and a possibly breaking change to the compiler involving methods on pointers-to-pointers.
- The release focuses primarily on implementation work, improving the garbage collector and preparing the ground for a fully concurrent collector to be rolled out in the next few releases. Stacks are now contiguous, reallocated when necessary rather than linking on new "segments"; this release therefore eliminates the notorious "hot stack split" problem. There are some new tools available including support in the go command for build-time source code generation. The release also adds support for ARM processors on Android and Native Client (NaCl) and for AMD64 on Plan 9.
