Go 1.8.1 is released

[Chris Broadfoot]

Hi gophers,

We have just released Go version 1.8.1, a minor point release.

This release includes fixes to the compiler, runtime, documentation, go command, and the

crypto/tls, encoding/xml, image/png, net, net/http, reflect, text/template, and time packages. 

    https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#go1.8.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 go1.8.1" and build as usual.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release.

Chris
