1 week before the Go 1.26 release freeze - November 26, 2025 11:59pm (EST)

[Mark Freeman]

Hey Gophers,

We have approximately 1 week left before the development freeze on November 26, 2025.

Please plan accordingly and ensure that the Go1.26 milestone is an accurate representation of what will go into the release. Now is the time to land completed work and get it reviewed before the freeze date.

There will be no exceptions for CLs in review.

Any exceptions to the freeze must be communicated to and explicitly approved by the Go Release Team before the freeze. See go.dev/s/release#freeze-exceptions.

Best, 

Mark for the Go Team
