We've just tagged a new Go release, release.2010-12-08. As usual, you
can update by running:
hg pull
hg update release

This release includes some package changes. If you use the crypto/tls or
go/parser packages your code may require changes.

The crypto/tls package's Dial function now takes an additional *Config
argument. Most uses will pass nil to get the same default behavior as before.
See the documentation for details:
http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#Config
http://golang.org/pkg/crypto/tls/#Dial

The go/parser package's ParseFile function now takes a *token.FileSet as its
first argument. This is a pointer to a data structure used to store
position information. If you don't care about position information you
can pass "token.NewFileSet()". See the documentation for details:
http://golang.org/pkg/go/parser/#ParseFile

This release also splits the patent grant text out of the LICENSE file into a
separate PATENTS file and changes it to be more like the WebM grant.
These clarifications were made at the request of the Fedora project.

Other changes:
* [68]l: generate debug info for builtin structured types,
prettyprinting in gdb.
* 8l: add dynimport to import table in Windows PE (thanks Wei Guangjing).
* 8l, runtime: fix Plan 9 386 build (thanks Yuval Pavel Zholkover).
* all: fix broken calls to Printf etc.
* bufio: make Reader.Read implement io.Reader semantics (thanks Roger Peppe).
* build: allow archiver to be specified by HOST_AR (thanks Albert Strasheim).
* bytes: add Buffer.UnreadRune, Buffer.UnreadByte (thanks Roger Peppe).
* crypto/tls: fix build of certificate generation example (thanks
Christian Himpel).
* doc/install: describe GOHOSTOS and GOHOSTARCH.
* errchk: accept multiple source files (thanks Eoghan Sherry).
* exec.LookPath: return os.PathError instad of os.ENOENT (thanks
Michael Hoisie)..
* flag: fix format error in boolean error report,
handle multiple calls to flag.Parse.
* fmt: add %U format for standard Unicode representation of code point values.
* gc: fix method offsets of anonymous interfaces (thanks Eoghan Sherry),
skip undefined symbols in import . (thanks Eoghan Sherry).
* go/scanner: remove Tokenize - was only used in tests
* gobuilder: add buildroot command-line flag (thanks Devon H. O'Dell).
* html: unescape numeric entities (thanks Ryan Hitchman).
* http: Add EncodeQuery, helper for constructing query strings.
* ld: fix dwarf decoding of 64-bit reflect values (thanks Eoghan Sherry).
* math: improve accuracy of Exp2 (thanks Eoghan Sherry).
* runtime: add Goroutines (thanks Keith Rarick).
* sync: small naming fix for armv5 (thanks Dean Prichard).
* syscall, net: Add Recvmsg and Sendmsg on Linux (thanks Albert Strasheim).
* time: make After use fewer goroutines and host processes (thanks Roger Peppe).

Apologies if we missed anyone in the list above. We appreciate all your help.

To see a full list of changes between this and the previous release,
after updating, run:
hg log -r release.2010-12-02:release.2010-12-08

Enjoy.

The documentation doesn't say about to pass "token.NewFileSet()"

Guys,

I'm getting the following error when building the release with ./all.bash :

--- cd ../test

1 known bugs; 2 unexpected bugs; test output differs
FAILED

Apparently, some test isn't passing in the new release... Is it just with me?

These were both mine. I just pulled and built this release
(also on linux/amd64) and all tests pass. Those error messages
indicate your using an old 6g. Is that possible?

Yes, that seems to solve the problem.

In my current config, the bins were in /usr/local/bin. The first time
I ran the ./all.bash, the 6g was not the one from that release... I've
only moved the bins after I had finished building the release.

Now I've moved (again) the bins and then ran the build. The tests now
all passed.
