<h3 id="nacl">Native Client (NaCl)</h3>

<p><!-- golang.org/issue/30439 -->
  As <a href="go1.13#ports">announced</a> in the Go 1.13 release notes,
  Go 1.14 drops support for the Native Client platform (<code>GOOS=nacl</code>).

<h3 id="go-command">Go command</h3>

<p><!-- golang.org/issue/30748 -->
  The <code>go</code> command now includes snippets of plain-text error messages
  from module proxies and other HTTP servers.
  An error message will only be shown if it is valid UTF-8 and consists of only
  graphic characters and spaces.
</p>

<p><!-- golang.org/issue/32502, golang.org/issue/30345 -->
  The <code>go</code> <code>get</code> subcommand no longer accepts
  the <code>-mod</code> flag. Previously, the flag's setting either
  <a href="https://golang.org/issue/30345">was ignored</a> or
  <a href="https://golang.org/issue/32502">caused the build to fail</a>.

    </p>

    <p><!-- CL 174329 -->
      The <code>tls</code> package no longer supports NPN and now only
      supports ALPN. In previous releases it supported both. There are
      no API changes and code should function identically as before.
      Most other clients & servers have already removed NPN support in
      favor of the standardized ALPN.
