Go 1.9 is released

[Chris Broadfoot]

Hello gophers,

We just released Go 1.9.

You can read the announcement blog post here:

  https://blog.golang.org/go1.9

You can download binary and source distributions from our download page:

  https://golang.org/dl/

To compile from source using a Git checkout, update to the release with "git checkout go1.9" and build as usual.

To find out what has changed, read the release notes:

  https://golang.org/doc/go1.9

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release.

Chris

Thanks for everyone's hard work on this!

One thing I've noticed, having read through the blog post and release notes, is a mention of the issue with the netpoller is surprisingly absent.

This issue has bitten us quite a bit, only tracked it down this week, so would have expected to see this one to mentioned given it can and does cause TCP connections from the runtime to fail randomly; something worth adding?

The package search [1] turns up this file is provided by libc6 (for arm64).

So do you really using arm64 (not amd64) and have libc6 installed?
(I doubt the second as this package should be essential on
Debian-derived distros but the former might be the culprit.

Thank you, guys. Good job.

exactly, I just have downloaded arm64 distributive instead of amd64 :) , amd64 works well, I made the error because https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/ doesn't contain 1.9 and I have to load it manually

One liner for installing on Linux. You can change the URL in the curl for other OS such as Mac, or any Unix like OS:

cd $GOROOT;cd ..;curl https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar zxvf -;cd;/usr/local/go/bin/go version

if you don't have GOROOT Set:

cd /usr/local;curl https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/go1.9.linux-amd64.tar.gz | sudo tar zxvf -;cd;/usr/local/go/bin/go version

That installs into /usr/local/go.

In general we don't mention every bug fix in the release notes, and
this one is fairly uncommon, and I think mainly occurs when trying to
connect to a TCP port on which nothing is listening. That said, if
you want to send in a patch for the release notes, that would be fine.
Thanks.

Thanks for the response Ian, if this was rare here I would agree, but prior to deploying a 1.9 build, we were experiencing this many times a day on a reconciliation daemon we have which talks to GCE API so we believe its more common than people may think.

My guess would be there aren't more reports because its hard to track and people just retry assuming its a network glitch.

I'll look to create a patch.

Hello,

We use a maven plugin to build a complex suite of Go based services. That plugin looks to the XML index provided by https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/ which currently does not include the 1.9 binaries even though they are available. Can someone look into why the 1.9 revs aren't indexed?

Thanks.

if you use mvn-golang plugin then since 2.1.6 version it can process missing SDK in the list and since 2.1.7 it will be processing the list correctly because google returns not full list for just request but need some prefix in request
