Where can I get a complete list of enhancements or changes of the golang spec (Version of Feb 10, 2021) agaisnt previous (Version of Jan 14, 2020)

[Benjamin]

Previously it took a long time to read through the golang spec of version of Jan 14, 2020. The newest golang spec is Version of Feb 10, 2021. I really don't want to read through all the spec again. Is there a summary on the changes between the two versions? Thanks.

Hi,

the best summaries can be found in the Release history. 

Otherwise, the best way is probably to look at the git history of the relevant file. You can also find two relevant commits for the times you are interested in and use `git diff` to get a diff of all changes between those versions.

But really, the spec doesn't change all that much.

Check out the Go repository and do

git diff ee55dd6b doc/go_spec.html

(Note: this is against the recently released go1.17beta1, so it is ahead of the latest release and might, theoretically, still change before go1.17 is released)

Thanks all!
