Hey there,

Go 1.17 was released last week (Aug 16th), but it appears the corresponding build of Go + Boring Crypto is not available yet (checking the Google Cloud Storage bucket as well as Docker Hub). Does anyone know if these releases typically track the main upstream Go closely, or if releases lag some period of time?

I understand some folks might be on summer vacation, so wanted to check if there's an expected publication date for this so I can plan accordingly. :)

Thanks,

Jonathan

In my experience, they lag maybe a week for a minor release like 1.16.6 to 1.16.7. I imagine it takes longer for a major release, especially if it's time to upgrade BoringCrypto (like b5 to b7).
