<p><!-- CL 432535: cmd/go: don't install most GOROOT .a files in pkg -->
  The Go distribution no longer ships with pre-compiled <code>.a</code>
  files for most of the packages in <code>GOROOT</code>, now only including
  .a files for the five packages in <code>GOROOT</code> that use <code>cgo</code>.
  Instead, those packages will be built as needed and cached in the build
  cache, as is already done for non-<code>main</code> packages outside
  <code>GOROOT</code>. Further, <code>go</code> <code>install</code> will
  also not install <code>.a</code> files for <code>GOROOT</code> packages
  except for those that use <code>cgo</code>. These changes are intended to
  reduce the size of the Go distribution, in some cases by up to two-thirds.
</p>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/37015 -->
  When the main module is located within <code>GOPATH/src</code>,
  <code>go</code> <code>install</code> no longer installs libraries for
  non-<code>main</code> packages to <code>GOPATH/pkg</code>,
  and <code>go</code> <code>list</code> no longer reports a <code>Target</code>
  field for such packages. (In module mode, compiled packages are stored in the
  <a href="https://pkg.go.dev/cmd/go#hdr-Build_and_test_caching">build cache</a>
  only, but <a href="https://go.dev/issue/37015">a bug</a> had caused
  the <code>GOPATH</code> install targets to unexpectedly remain in effect.)
</p>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/41696, CL 416094 -->
  The <code>-i</code> flag is no longer accepted by
  <code>go</code> <code>build</code> and <code>go</code> <code>test</code>.
  The flag has been <a href="https://go.dev/issue/41696">deprecated since Go 1.16</a>.
</p>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/50332 -->
  The <code>go</code> subcommands now accept
  <code>-C</code> <code>&lt;dir&gt;</code> to change directory to &lt;dir&gt;
  before performing the command, which may be useful for scripts that need to
  execute commands in multiple different modules.
</p>

<p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/41583 -->

<h3 id="errors">Wrapping multiple errors</h3>

<p><!-- CL 432898 -->
  Go 1.20 expands support for error wrapping to permit an error to
  wrap multiple other errors.
</p>
<p>
  An error <code>e</code</e> can wrap more than one error by providing
  an <code>Unwrap</code> method that returns a <code>[]error</code>.
</p>
<p>
  The <a href="/pkg/errors/#Is"><code>errors.Is</code></a> and
  <a href="/pkg/errors/#As"><code>errors.As</code></a> functions
  have been updated to inspect multiply wrapped errors.
</p>
<p>
  The <a href="/pkg/fmt/#Errorf"><code>fmt.Errorf</code></a> function
  now supports multiple occurrances of the <code>%w</code> format verb,
  which will cause it to return an error that wraps all of those error operands.
</p>
<p>
  The new function <a href="/pkg/errors/#Join"><code>errors.Join</code></a>
  returns an error wrapping a list of errors.
</p>

<h3 id="http_responsecontroller">HTTP ResponseController</h3>

<p>
  The new
  <a href="/pkg/net/http/#ResponseController"><code>"net/http".ResponseController</code></a>
  type provides access to extended per-request functionality not handled by the
  <a href="/pkg/net/http/#ResponseWriter"><code>"net/http".ResponseWriter</code></a> interface.
</p>

<p>
  Previously, we have added new per-request functionality by defining optional
  interfaces which a <code>ResponseWriter</code> can implement, such as
  <a href="/pkg/net/http/#Flusher"><code>Flusher<code></a>. These interfaces
  are not discoverable and clumsy to use.
</p>

<p>
  The <code>ResponseController</code> type provides a clearer, more discoverable way
  to add per-handler controls. Two such controls also added in Go 1.20 are
  <code>SetReadDeadline</code> and <code>SetWriteDeadline</code>, which allow setting
  per-request read and write deadlines. For example:
</p>

<pre>
func RequestHandler(w ResponseWriter, r *Request) {
  rc := http.NewResponseController(w)
  rc.SetWriteDeadline(0) // disable Server.WriteTimeout when sending a large response
  io.Copy(w, bigData)
}
</pre>

<h3 id="reverseproxy_rewrite">New ReverseProxy Rewrite hook</h3>

<p>
  The <a href="/pkg/net/http/httputil/#ReverseProxy"><code>httputil.ReverseProxy</code></a>
  forwarding proxy includes a new <code>Rewrite</code> hook function, superseding the
  previous <code>Director</code> hook.
</p>

<p>
  The <code>Rewrite</code> hook accepts a
  <a href="/pkg/net/http/httputil/#ProxyRequest"><code>ProxyRequest</code></a> parameter,
  which includes both the inbound request received by the proxy and the outbound
  request that it will send.
  Unlike <code>Director</code> hooks, which only operate on the outbound request,
  this permits <code>Rewrite</code> hooks to avoid certain scenarios where
  a malicious inbound request may cause headers added by the hook
  to be removed before forwarding.
  See <a href="https://go.dev/issue/50580">issue #50580</a>.
</p>

<p>
  The <a href="/pkg/net/http/httputil/#ProxyRequest.SetURL"><code>ProxyRequest.SetURL</code></a>
  method routes the outbound request to a provided destination
  and supersedes the <code>NewSingleHostReverseProxy</code> function.
  Unlike <code>NewSingleHostReverseProxy</code>, <code>SetURL</code>
  also sets the <code>Host</code> header of the outbound request.
</p>

<p>
  The
  <a href="/pkg/net/http/httputil/#ProxyRequest.SetXForwarded"><code>ProxyRequest.SetXForwarded</code></a>
  method sets the <code>X-Forwarded-For</code>, <code>X-Forwarded-Host</code>,
  and <code>X-Forwarded-Proto</code> headers of the outbound request.
  When using a <code>Rewrite</code>, these headers are not added by default.
</p>

<p>
  An example of a <code>Rewrite</code> hook using these features is:
</p>

<pre>
proxyHandler := &httputil.ReverseProxy{
  Rewrite: func(r *httputil.ProxyRequest) {
    r.SetURL(outboundURL) // Forward request to outboundURL.
    r.SetXForwarded()     // Set X-Forwarded-* headers.
    r.Out.Header.Set("X-Additional-Header", "header set by the proxy")
  },
}
</pre>

<h3 id="minor_library_changes">Minor changes to the library</h3>

<p>
  As always, there are various minor changes and updates to the library,
  made with the Go 1 <a href="/doc/go1compat">promise of compatibility</a>
  in mind.
  There are also various performance improvements, not enumerated here.

      The new <code>ResponseController</code> type provides access to extended per-request
      functionality not handled by the <code>ResponseWriter<code> interface.
    <p>

    <p>
      The new <code>ResponseController.SetReadDeadline</code> and
      <code>ResponseController.SetWriteDeadline</code> methods permit setting
      per-request read and write deadlines.
    </p>

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/51914 -->
      The <code>ResponseWriter.WriteHeader</code> function now supports sending
      <code>1xx</code> status codes.
    </p>

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/41773 -->
      The new <code>Server.DisableGeneralOptionsHandler</code> configuration setting
      allows disabling the default <code>OPTIONS *</code> handler.
    </p>

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/54299 -->
      The new <code>Transport.OnProxyConnectResponse</code> hook is called
      when a <code>Transport</code> receives an HTTP response from a proxy
      for a <code>CONNECT</code> request.
    </p>

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/53960 -->
      The HTTP server now accepts HEAD requests containing a body,
      rather than rejecting them as invalid.
    </p>

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/53896 -->
      HTTP/2 stream errors returned by <code>net/http</code> functions may be converted 
      to a <code>"golang.org/x/net/http2".StreamError</code> using <code>errors.As</code>.
    </p>

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/cl/397734 -->
      Leading and trailing spaces are trimmed from cookie names,
      rather than being rejected as invalid.
      For example, a cookie setting of "name =value"
      is now accepted as setting the cookie "name".

      The new <code>ReverseProxy</code> hook supersedes the existing <code>Rewrite</code> hook.
    </p>

    <p><!-- https://go.dev/issue/50465 -->
      <code>ReverseProxy</code> now adds
      <code>X-Forwarded-Proto</code> and <code>X-Forwarded-Host</code> headers
      to forwarded requests.
      These headers are added to all requests forwarded by a <code>Director</code> hook,
      and to requests forwarded by a <code>Rewrite</code> hook which calls the
      <code>ProxyRequest.SetXForwarded</code> function.
    </p>

    <p><!-- CL 407375 -->
      <code>ReverseProxy</code> no longer adds a <code>User-Agent</code> header
