Tree status for the Go 1.23 release and Go 1.24 development

[Cherry Mui]

Hi Gophers,

Go 1.23 will soon be scheduled for release (🎉!) and as described on https://go.dev/s/release, it's time to plan for Go 1.24 development. Tentatively, we expect a soft reopening (for fixes only, not new features yet) next week, and a full general tree reopening shortly thereafter. Please see the tracking issue 67586 for the latest tree status.

Please use this thread to discuss your own plans for the 1.24 development cycle and to coordinate submission.

(Reminder, this thread is for things you *PLAN TO DO YOURSELF*, not things you want other people to do.)

If you plan on working on potentially risky changes, please follow our attached guide.

Thanks, Cherry for the Go team

Hi Gophers,

The tree is now open for general development of Go 1.24. It will remain open until the freeze begins on November 21st at 11:59 PM Eastern time. As you submit your changes, please keep an eye on the build dashboard (https://ci.chromium.org/p/golang/g/go-gotip/console or build.golang.org) and consider waiting if there's a widespread test failure.

Any CLs that land after CL 600176 ("internal/goversion: update Version to 1.24") but target Go 1.23 must be cherry-picked to release-branch.go1.23. Cherry-pick CLs can be created following the same steps as usual but do not need a backport issue or approval from the release team. Please continue to use your judgment about what should be included this late in the Go 1.23 release cycle.

Thank you, and happy development!

Dmitri for the Go team
