<h2 id="2011-12-06">2011-12-06</h2>

This snapshot includes a language change and changes to the strconv and go/doc

packages. The package changes require changes to client code.

The language change is backwards-compatible.

Type elision in arrays, slices, or maps of composite literals has been

extended to include pointers to composite literals. Code like this

var t = []&T{&T{}, &T{}}

may now be written as

var t = []&T{{}, {}}

You can use gofmt -s to simplify such code.

The strconv package has been given a more idiomatic and efficient interface.

Client code can be updated with gofix. See the docs for the details:

http://weekly.golang.org/pkg/strconv/

The go/doc package's ToHTML function now takes a []byte argument instead of a

string.

Other changes:

* crypto/aes: eliminate some bounds checking and truncation (thanks Rémy Oudompheng).

* crypto/x509: if a parent cert has a raw subject, use it.

* encoding/gob: don't send type info for unexported fields.

* exp/ssh: allow for msgUserAuthBanner during authentication (thanks Gustav Paul).

* fmt: benchmark floating point,

only use Stringer or Error for strings.

* gc: changes in export format in preparation of inlining,

disallow map/func equality via interface comparison,

use gofmt spacing when printing map type.

* go/doc: exclude lines ending in ':' from possible headings.

* gobuilder: -commit mode for packages,

cripple -package mode temporarily,

use new dashboard protocol.

* godoc: improved output of examples in html (thanks Volker Dobler).

* gofmt: handle &T in composite literal simplify.

* goinstall: honour -install=false flag when -make=true.

* hash: rewrite comment on Hash.Sum method.

* html: more parser improvements (thanks Andrew Balholm).

* image: avoid func comparison during ColorModel comparison.

* math: add special-cases comments to Sinh and Tanh (thanks Charles L. Dorian).

* misc/dashboard: further implementation work.

* net, syscall: remove BindToDevice from UDPConn, IPConn (thanks Mikio Hara).

* net/mail: correctly compare parsed times in the test.

* os/exec: make LookPath always search CWD under Windows (thanks Benny Siegert).

* runtime: prep for type-specific algorithms.

* strconv: 34% to 63% faster conversions.
