+      already been closed will now return the new error
+      value <a href="/pkg/os/#ErrClosed"><code>os.ErrClosed</code></a>.

+      On Unix systems, <a href="/pkg/os/#Rename"><code>os.Rename</code></a>
+      will now return an error when used to rename a directory to an
+      existing empty directory.
+      Previously it would fail when renaming to a non-empty directory
+      but succeed when renaming to an empty directory.
+      This makes the behavior on Unix correspond to that on other systems.

+      On Windows, long absolute paths are now transparently converted to
+      extended-length paths (paths that start with <code>\\?\</code>).
+      This permits the package to work with files whose path names are
+      longer than 260 characters.

+      This roughly corresponds to the existing handling of the Unix
+      error <code>ENOTEMPTY</code>.

+      In a Go library built with <code>-buildmode=c-archive</code>
+      or <code>c-shared</code>, when C code calls a Go function,
+      the <code>SIGPIPE</code> signal will be treated as usual for Go code.
+      In particular, when <code>SIGPIPE</code> is triggered by a write
+      to a closed Go network connection, it will not cause the program
+      to exit.
