<p>
The <code>-trimpath</code> flag, if set, is now included in the build settings
stamped into Go binaries by <code>go</code> <code>build</code>, and can be
examined using
<a href="https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Print_Go_version"><code>go</code> <code>version</code> <code>-m</code></a>
or <a href="https://pkg.go.dev/runtime/debug#ReadBuildInfo"><code>debug.ReadBuildInfo</code></a>.
</p>
<p>
<code>go</code> <code>generate</code> now sets the <code>GOROOT</code>
environment variable explicitly in the generator's environment, so that
generators can locate the correct <code>GOROOT</code> even if built
with <code>-trimpath</code>.
</p>
<p><!-- CL 404134 -->
<code>go</code> <code>test</code> and <code>go</code> <code>generate</code> now place
<code>GOROOT/bin</code> at the beginning of the <code>PATH</code> used for the
subprocess, so tests and generators that execute the <code>go</code> command
will resolve it to same <code>GOROOT</code>.
</p>
<p><!-- CL 398058 -->
<code>go</code> <code>env</code> now quotes entries that contain spaces in
the <code>CGO_CFLAGS</code>, <code>CGO_CPPFLAGS</code>, <code>CGO_CXXFLAGS</code>, <code>CGO_FFLAGS</code>, <code>CGO_LDFLAGS</code>,
and <code>GOGCCFLAGS</code> variables it reports.
</p>
<h4 id="go-unix">New <code>unix</code> build constraint</h4>
<p><!-- CL 389934 --><!-- https://go.dev/issue/20322 --><!-- https://go.dev/issue/51572 -->
The build constraint <code>unix</code> is now recognized
in <code>//go:build</code> lines. The constraint is satisfied
if the target operating system, also known as <code>GOOS</code>, is
a Unix or Unix-like system. For the 1.19 release it is satisfied
if <code>GOOS</code> is one of
<code>aix</code>, <code>android</code>, <code>darwin</code>,
<code>dragonfly</code>, <code>freebsd</code>, <code>hurd</code>,
<code>illumos</code>, <code>ios</code>, <code>linux</code>,
<code>netbsd</code>, <code>openbsd</code>, or <code>solaris</code>.
In future releases the <code>unix</code> constraint may match
additional newly supported operating systems.
</p>
<h2 id="runtime">Runtime</h2>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/48409 --><!-- CL 397018 -->
The runtime now includes support for a soft memory limit. This memory limit
includes all memory mapped and managed by the runtime, and excludes external
memory sources such as binary size, memory managed in other languages, and
memory held by the operating system on behalf of the Go program. This limit
may be managed via the <code>GOMEMLIMIT</code> environment variable or the
<code>SetMemoryLimit</code> function in the runtime/debug package. The limit
works in conjunction with <code>GOGC</code> and <code>SetGCPercent</code>,
and will be respected even if <code>GOGC=off</code>, allowing Go programs to
always make maximal use of their memory limit, improving resource efficiency
in some cases. Please note that small memory limits, on the order of tens of
megabytes or less, are less likely to be adhered to due to external latency
factors, such as OS scheduling. See https://go.dev/issue/52433 for more
details. Larger memory limits, on the order of hundreds of megabytes or more,
are stable and production-ready.
</p>
<p><!-- CL 353989 -->
In order to limit the effects of GC thrashing when the program's live heap
size approaches the soft memory limit, the Go runtime also attempts to limit
total GC CPU utilization to 50%, excluding idle time, choosing to use more
memory over preventing application progress. In practice, we expect this limit
to only play a role in exceptional cases, and the new runtime/metrics metric
<code>/gc/limiter/last-enabled:gc-cycle</code> reports when this last
occurred.
</p>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/44163 -->
The runtime now schedules many fewer GC worker goroutines on idle operating
system threads when the application is idle enough to force a periodic GC
cycle.
</p>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/18138 --><!-- CL 345889 -->
The runtime will now allocate initial goroutine stacks based on the historic
average stack usage of goroutines. This avoids some of the early stack growth
and copying needed in the average case in exchange for at most 2x wasted
space on below-average goroutines.
</p>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/46279 --><!-- CL 393354 -->
On Unix operating systems, Go programs that import package
<a href="/pkg/os/">os</a> now automatically increase the open file limit
(<code>RLIMIT_NOFILE</code>) to the maximum allowed value. Programs that need
a lower limit (for compatibility with <code>select</code>, for example) can
set the limit back as needed, or lower the hard limit prior to starting the
Go program.
</p>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/51485 --><!-- CL 390421 -->
Unrecoverable fatal errors (such as concurrent map writes, or unlock of
unlocked mutexes) now print a simpler traceback excluding runtime metadata
(equivalent to a fatal panic) unless <code>GOTRACEBACK=system</code> or
<code>crash</code>. Runtime-internal fatal error tracebacks always include
full metadata regardless of the value of <code>GOTRACEBACK</code>
</p>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/50614 --><!-- CL 395754 -->
Support for debugger-injected function calls has been added on ARM64,
enabling users to call functions from their binary in an interactive
debugging session when using a debugger that is updated to make use of this
functionality.
</p>

TODO: <a href="https://go.dev/issue/44853">https://go.dev/issue/44853</a>: enable address sanitizer in Go
</p>
<h2 id="compiler">Compiler</h2>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/5496 --><!-- CL 357330, 395714, 403979 -->
The compiler now uses
a <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Branch_table">jump
table</a> to implement large integer and string switch statements.
Performance improvements for the switch statement vary but can be
on the order of 20% faster.
(<code>GOARCH=amd64</code> and <code>GOARCH=arm64</code> only)
</p>

TODO: <a href="https://go.dev/cl/402374">https://go.dev/cl/402374</a>: enable regabi on riscv64 by default
</p>
<p><!-- CL 391014 -->
The Go compiler now requires the <code>-p=importpath</code> flag to
build a linkable object file. This is already supplied by
the <code>go</code> command and by Bazel. Any other build systems
that invoke the Go compiler directly will need to make sure they
pass this flag as well.

<h3 id="atomic_types">New atomic types</h3>
<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/50860 --><!-- CL 381317 -->
The <a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/"><code>sync/atomic</code></a> package defines new atomic types
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Bool"><code>Bool</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Int32"><code>Int32</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Int64"><code>Int64</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Uint32"><code>Uint32</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Uint64"><code>Uint64</code></a>,
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Uintptr"><code>Uintptr</code></a>, and
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Pointer"><code>Pointer</code></a>.
These types hide the underlying values so that all accesses are forced to use
the atomic APIs.
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Pointer"><code>Pointer</code></a> also avoids
the need to convert to
<a href="/pkg/unsafe/#Pointer"><code>unsafe.Pointer</code></a> at call sites.
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Int64"><code>Int64</code></a> and
<a href="/pkg/sync/atomic/#Uint64"><code>Uint64</code></a> automatically
receive 64-bit alignment on ARM, 386, and 32-bit MIPS required for 64-bit
atomics on these systems.

The new function <a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#ParseRevocationList"><code>ParseRevocationList</code></a>
provides a faster, safer to use CRL parser which returns a

To support this addition, <code>RevocationList</code> adds new fields
<code>RawIssuer</code>, <code>Signature</code>,
<code>AuthorityKeyId</code>, and <code>Extensions</code>.
The new method <a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#RevocationList.CheckSignatureFrom"><code>RevocationList.CheckSignatureFrom</a>
checks that the signature on a CRL is a valid signature from a
<a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#Certificate">Certificate</a>.
With the new CRL functionality, the existing functions
<a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#ParseCRL"><code>ParseCRL</code></a> and

<p><!-- CL 389555 -->
When building paths, <a href="/pkg/crypto/x509/#Certificate.Verify"><code>Certificate.Verify</code></a>

type <code>text/plain</code>. This is a common unintentional
misconfiguration on Windows systems. The effect is
that <code>.js</code> will have the default MIME
type <code>text/javascript; charset=utf-8</code>.
Applications that expect <code>text/plain</code> on Windows must
now explicitly call
<a href="/pkg/mime#AddExtensionType"><code>AddExtensionType</code></a>.

The pure Go resolver will now use EDNS(0) to include a suggested
maximum reply packet length, permitting reply packets to contain
up to 1232 bytes (the previous maximum was 512).
In the unlikely event that this causes problems with a local DNS
resolver, setting the environment variable
<code>GODEBUG=netdns=cgo</code> to use the cgo-based resolver
should work.
Please report any such problems on <a href="/issue/new">the
issue tracker</a>.

When a net package function or method returns an "I/O timeout"
error, the error will now satisfy <code>errors.Is(err,
context.DeadlineExceeded)</code>. When a net package function
returns an "operation was canceled" error, the error will now
satisfy <code>errors.Is(err, context.Canceled)</code>.
These changes are intended to make it easier for code to test
for cases in which a context cancellation or timeout causes a net
package function or method to return an error, while preserving
backward compatibility for error messages.

<a href="/pkg/net/#Resolver.PreferGo"><code>Resolver.PreferGo</code></a>
is now implemented on Windows and Plan 9. It previously only worked on Unix
platforms. Combined with
<a href="/pkg/net/#Dialer.Resolver"><code>Dialer.Resolver</code></a> and
<a href="/pkg/net/#Resolver.Dial"><code>Resolver.Dial</code></a>, it's now
possible to write portable programs and be in control of all DNS name lookups
when dialing.
</p>
<p>
The <code>net</code> package now has initial support for the <code>netgo</code>
build tag on Windows. When used, the package uses the Go DNS client (as used
by <code>Resolver.PreferGo</code>) instead of asking Windows for
DNS results. The upstream DNS server it discovers from Windows
may not yet be correct with complex system network configurations, however.
