Go 1.14.1 and Go 1.13.9 are released

[Carlos Amedee]

Hello gophers,

We have just released Go versions 1.14.1 and 1.13.9, minor point releases.

These releases include fixes to the go command, tools, the runtime,
the toolchain, and to the crypto/cypher package.

View the release notes for more information:
https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#go1.14.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 go1.14.1" and build as usual.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release.

Cheers,
Carlos and Alex for the Go team

Thanks for the release.

However I'm a bit sad that even the Go team is starting to use "golang" instead of "go":

https://github.com/golang/go/issues/37613

golang 1.14.rc1 3-5% performance regression from golang 1.13 during protobuf marshalling

Now I see golang instead of go on blog articles, talks and commit messages.

Don't worry, we aren't. That issue was created by gopherbot, and the
title came from https://golang.org/issue/37086, which was not written
by a member of the Go team. All we've done here is not edit the issue
title (which we could have done but I guess nobody bothered).

To add to what Ian said, I've edited the issue titles now, which makes them slightly shorter and easier to read.

Also see https://golang.org/doc/faq#go_or_golang. While the language is called "Go", the term "golang" still comes up occasionally in some contexts.

The problem is that I have seen using golang in the wrong context, as an example:

https://www.gophercon.co.uk/videos/2017/golangs-realtime-gc-in-theory-and-practice/

https://www.gophercon.co.uk/videos/2019/Experimenting-with-Golang-and-Webassembly/

I suspect that new programmers starting to use Go believe that the language name is golang, probably because nobody bothered to correct them.

Thanks.
