+
+<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
+
