| Overall: |
| |
| build: Go 1.4 required to build (https://golang.org/cl/2470, https://golang.org/cl/2993) |
| |
| API additions and behavior changes: |
| |
| bufio: add Reader.Discard (https://golang.org/cl/2260) |
| crypto/cipher: clarify what will happen if len(src) != len(dst) for the Stream interface. (https://golang.org/cl/1754) |
| crypto/elliptic: add Name field to CurveParams struct (https://golang.org/cl/2133) |
| crypto/tls: change default minimum version to TLS 1.0. (https://golang.org/cl/1791) |
| encoding/base64: add unpadded encodings (https://golang.org/cl/1511) |
| log: add global Output function (https://golang.org/cl/2686) |
| net/http: support for setting trailers from a server Handler (https://golang.org/cl/2157) |
| net/smtp: add TLSConnectionState accessor (https://golang.org/cl/2151) |
| runtime, syscall: use SYSCALL instruction on FreeBSD (Go 1.5 now requires FreeBSD 8-STABLE+) (https://golang.org/cl/3020) |
| strings: add Compare(x, y string) int, for symmetry with bytes.Compare (https://golang.org/cl/2828) |
| |
| Tools: |
| |
| cmd/vet: better validation of struct tags (https://golang.org/cl/2685) |
| |
| Performance: |
| |
| cmd/gc: optimize memclr of slices and arrays (https://golang.org/cl/2520) |
| sort: number of Sort performance optimizations (https://golang.org/cl/2100, https://golang.org/cl/2614, ...) |
| strconv: optimize decimal to string conversion (https://golang.org/cl/2105) |
| math/big: faster assembly kernels for amd64 and 386 (https://golang.org/cl/2503, https://golang.org/cl/2560) |
| math/big: faster "pure Go" kernels for platforms w/o assembly kernels (https://golang.org/cl/2480) |
