You may need to change your +code if you use the once, regexp, image, or exp/draw packages. + +The type Once has been added to the sync package. The new sync.Once will +supersede the functionality provided by the once package. We intend to remove +the once package after this release. See: + http://golang.org/pkg/sync/#Once +All instances of once in the standard library have been replaced with +sync.Once. Reviewing these changes may help you modify your existing code. +The relevant changeset: + http://code.google.com/p/go/source/detail?r=fa2c43595119 + +A new set of methods has been added to the regular expression package, regexp. +These provide a uniformly named approach to discovering the matches of an +expression within a piece of text; see the package documentation for details: + http://golang.org/pkg/regexp/ +These new methods will, in a later release, replace the old methods for +matching substrings. The following methods are deprecated: + Execute (use Find) + ExecuteString (use FindString) + MatchStrings(use FindStringSubmatch) + MatchSlices (use FindSubmatch) + AllMatches (use FindAll; note that n<0 means 'all matches'; was n<=0) + AllMatchesString (use FindAllString; note that n<0 means 'all matches'; was n<=0) +(Plus there are ten new methods you didn't know you wanted.) +Please update your code to use the new routines before the next release. + +An image.Image now has a Bounds rectangle, where previously it ranged +from (0, 0) to (Width, Height). Loops that previously looked like: + for y := 0; y < img.Height(); y++ { + for x := 0; x < img.Width(); x++ { + // Do something with img.At(x, y) + } + } +should instead be: + b := img.Bounds() + for y := b.Min.Y; y < b.Max.Y; y++ { + for x := b.Min.X; x < b.Max.X; x++ { + // Do something with img.At(x, y) + } + } +The Point and Rectangle types have also moved from exp/draw to image. + +Other changes: +* arm: bugfixes and syscall (thanks Kai Backman). +* asn1: fix incorrect encoding of signed integers (thanks Nicholas Waples). +* big: fixes to bitwise functions (thanks Evan Shaw). +* bytes: add IndexRune, FieldsFunc and To*Special (thanks Christian Himpel). +* encoding/binary: add complex (thanks Roger Peppe). +* exp/iterable: add UintArray (thanks Anschel Schaffer-Cohen). +* godoc: report Status 404 if a pkg or file is not found. +* gofmt: better reporting for unexpected semicolon errors. +* html: new package, an HTML tokenizer. +* image: change image representation from slice-of-slices to linear buffer, + introduce Decode and RegisterFormat, + introduce Transparent and Opaque, + replace Width and Height by Bounds, add the Point and Rect types. +* libbio: fix Bprint to address 6g issues with large data structures. +* math: fix amd64 Hypot (thanks Charles L. Dorian). +* net/textproto: new package, with example net/dict. +* os: fix ForkExec() handling of envv == nil (thanks Alex Brainman). +* png: grayscale support (thanks Mathieu Lonjaret). +* regexp: document that backslashes are the escape character. +* rpc: catch errors from ReadResponseBody. +* runtime: memory free fix (thanks Alex Brainman). +* template: add ParseFile method to template.Template. +* test/peano: use directly recursive type def. +</pre> + <h3 id="2010-08-04">2010-08-04</h3> <pre> |
