[security] Go 1.6.3 and Go 1.7rc2 pre-announcement

[Chris Broadfoot]

Hello gophers,

We plan to issue Go 1.6.3 and Go 1.7rc2 on Monday July 18 at approximately 2am UTC.
These are minor release to fix a security issue.

Following our policy at https://golang.org/security, this is the pre-announcement of those releases.

Because we are so late in the release cycle for Go 1.7, we will not issue a minor release of Go 1.5.
Additionally, we plan to issue Go 1.7rc3 later next week, which will include any changes between 1.7rc1 and tip.

Cheers,
Chris on behalf of the Go team

My apologies -- we will target the release for 4pm UTC, not 2am UTC.
