Go 1.8.3 is released

[Chris Broadfoot]

Hi gophers,

We have just released Go version 1.8.3, a minor point release.

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

database/sql package.

    https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html#go1.8.minor

It also includes the security fix to the crypto/elliptic package from Go 1.8.2.

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 go1.8.3" and build as usual.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release.

Chris

Peter, I believe the 1.8 release branch was force-pushed to for 1.8.2,
so I don't think you'll be able to git pull and get to 1.8.3.

Try a checkout instead, like git checkout go1.8.3.

The Go1.8.2 and Go 1.8.3 milestones on GitHub are still open. If there's a manual checklist for Go releases, can someone see that closing the GitHub milestone is added to that checklist?

Thanks. Fixed.

We do have a list (internally, since it involves internal steps to sign the installers using Google's signing infrastructure), so I'll make sure this is on it.
