Go 1.9.2 and Go 1.8.5 are released

[Chris Broadfoot]

Hi gophers,

We have just released Go versions 1.9.2 and 1.8.5, minor point releases.

These releases include fixes to the compiler, linker, runtime, documentation, go command, and the crypto/x509, database/sql, log, and net/smtp packages. They include a fix to a bug introduced in Go 1.9.1 and Go 1.8.4 that broke "go get" of non-Git repositories under certain conditions.

View the release notes for more information:

    https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#go1.9.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 go1.9.2" and build as usual.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release.

Chris

I've updated my snaps with both these releases, so users with the snap already installed should get them soon, or snap install --classic --channel 1.9/stable go on an ubuntu or ubuntu-like system if you want to try them out :)

Cheers,

mwh

Thanks for this. It gave me motivation to go learn about snaps for the first time.

Nice! Thank you for maintaining these!

BTW, if it helps, all tarballs are now gpg signed. (add .asc to the download URL)

I hope people find them useful (I know quite a few people at Canonical are using them but I don't know if many people outside are using them),

Ah, that's interesting (also for the Debian packaging).

Currently I build the snaps from the tag in git but I should probably switch to the source tarball really as that's the more of the official definition of what the release is.

I notice that the signing key doesn't appear to be in the strong set, are you planning to get it more signatures?

Cheers,
