Hi gophers,We have just released Go 1.16.1 and Go 1.15.9 to address recently reported security issues. We recommend that all users update to one of these releases (if you’re not sure which, choose Go 1.16.1).
I would like to share the Golang’s build flag to remove the source path (GOPATH) from panic stack trace output. In production environments or commercial projects it is sometimes not ideal to display the source path because of privacy, security or other reasons.
Below is an example of a stack trace output that reveals the GOPATH location which is located inside the developer’s home directory.
Today we are excited to announce the v1.0 release of the Distributed Application Runtime (Dapr), which has achieved the stability and enterprise readiness to be designated production ready. Dapr is an open source, portable, event-driven runtime that makes it easy for developers to build resilient, microservice, stateless and stateful applications that run on the cloud and edge. Dapr enables developers to focus on writing business logic and not solving distributed system challenges, thereby significantly improving their productivity, and reducing development time. Dapr lowers the bar for entry to build modern cloud native applications based on a microservices architecture and with this v1.0 release, Dapr applications can be deployed to self-hosted infrastructure or Kubernetes clusters in production scenarios.
We hope you're enjoying Go 1.16! This release has a lot of new features, especially for modules. The release notes describe these changes briefly, but let's explore a few of them in depth.
The go
command now builds packages in module-aware mode by default, even when no go.mod
is present. This is a big step toward using modules in all projects.
The latest Go release, version 1.16, arrives six months after Go 1.15. Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain, runtime, and libraries. As always, the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.
Hello gophers,
We have just released Go versions 1.15.8 and 1.14.15, minor point releases.
View the release notes for more information:
https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#go1.15.minor
You can download binary and source distributions from the Go web site:
https://golang.org/dl/
To compile from source using a Git clone, update to the release with
"git checkout go1.15.8" and build as usual.
Thanks to everyone who contributed to the releases.
Cheers,
Carlos and Alex for the Go team
Version 2.0 of the Kubernetes and Helm providers includes a more declarative authentication flow, alignment of resource behaviors and attributes with upstream APIs, normalized wait conditions across several resources, and removes support for Helm v2.
The GoLand 2021.1 Early Access Program has now started! You can find a detailed description of what to expect from the EAP in our roadmap for 2021.1.
Microsoft's 2021 plans for the Azure SDK include adding codified support for more programming languages, with mobile iOS and Android libraries on tap in the draft guidelines stage, along with general-purpose languages C, C++ and even Go, the flagship programming language for cloud rival Google.
One of the unusual things about Go is that it started out with the approach of directly making system calls on Unix, instead of calling the standard C library functions that correspond to those system calls. There are reasonably good reasons for Go to make direct system calls and this works well on Linux, but other Unixes are different. The official API for Illumos and Solaris system calls requires you to use their C library, and OpenBSD wants you to do this as well for security reasons (for OpenBSD system call origin verification). Go has used the C library on Solaris and Illumos for a long time, but through Go 1.15 it made direct system calls on OpenBSD and so current released versions of OpenBSD had a special exemption from their system call origin verification because of it.
