do not submit CLs for Go 1.2, Go 1.3

[Russ Cox]

Please do not run 'hg submit' - even after Go 1.2 is released - until there has been an update to this thread saying it's okay.

Go 1.2 is of course very close. Andrew (adg) is running the release, and he should be the only one running 'hg submit' for that.

After Go 1.2 is out, work on Go 1.3 begins. As discussed in the thread Rob started ("Planning the next release"), there are some large changes planned, among them precise scanning of goroutine stacks during garbage collection and the new growing contiguous stacks. There are a handful of reviewed CLs by cshapiro and khr to lay the groundwork for these changes, and we'd like to get them in and happy on the build dashboard before we open the tree to other changes. Once those CLs are in, I expect we will mostly open the tree for changes but still keep the runtime, compilers, and linkers locked a bit longer.

We'll reply to this thread with updates.

Thanks very much.

Now that Keith and Carl have their CLs in, the Go 1.3 initial freeze is partially lifted. Please hold off on submitting CLs changing the compilers, linkers, and package runtime - basically, anything written in C - for a little while longer. 

The rest of the tree - basically, everything written in Go - is now open.

Thanks for your help and your patience.

is the /doc part of the tree open?

[Russ Cox]

Yes. Everything except the pieces that are predominantly C.

Is the C part of the tree open now? I've seen changes unrelated to the

linker rework.

[Russ Cox]

Yes, I think it's probably okay.
