Go 1.2.2 is released

[Andrew Gerrand]

Hi,

We have just released Go version 1.2.2, a (very) minor point release.

It includes a security fix that affects the Go Tour executable included in the binary distributions. There are no changes to the main repository. For details see the release notes:

    http://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#go1.2.minor

You can download binary and source distributions from a new location:
    https://code.google.com/p/go/wiki/Downloads?tm=2

To compile from source, update to the release with "hg update release" and build as usual.

If you built the tour from source, you can update it with go get:

    go get -u code.google.com/p/go-tour/gotour

Hi Andrew,

The old download page had SHA1 checksums of all the files; are those gone for a reason?

[Andrew Gerrand]

The old system (now deprecated) did this automatically.

We're transitioning to a new system. In the interim I did this release manually, so there were no SHA1 hashes. I've added them now.

Hey Andrew,

Is there a way to list the new release files?  Alternatively, can we have a trivial map of version => tarball URLs somewhere, so we can make automated tools such as godeb work?

I can provide the latter myself, but would be nice to have that as part of the stock release process.

The file names are already predictable, and they will be in a predictable base URL. Is that sufficient?

The download location will change once more (to golang.org) and hopefully never again.

It's doable, but it'd have to hit every N+1 minor and major release
URL to check whether it is out yet, which isn't great to say the
least.

If you can provide any kind of file list, even without metadata, I'm
happy to scrap it in a similar fashion to how it does today on the
Google Code listing.

OK I think we can figure something out. Shouldn't be a big deal.
