hg update weekly.<i>YYYY-MM-DD</i>
</pre>
+<h2 id="2011-12-22">2011-12-22</h2>
+
+<pre>
+This snapshot includes changes to the images/ycbcr and testing packages, and
+changes to the build system.
+
+The types for managing Y'CbCr images in the image/ycbcr have been moved to the
+image and image/color packages. A gofix module will rewrite affected code.
+
+The testing package's B type (used when running benchmarks) now has the same
+methods as T (used in tests), such as Print, Error, and Fatal.
+
+This weekly adds a new command named 'go' for building and testing go programs.
+For Go 1, the go command will replace the makefile-based approach that we have
+been using. It is not yet ready for general use, but all.bash does use it to
+build the tree. If you have problems building the weekly, you can 'export
+USE_GO_TOOL=false' before running all.bash to fall back to the makefiles.
+
+Other changes:
+* archive/zip: add SetModTime method to FileHeader.
+* build: make use of env (thanks Mikio Hara),
+ fixes to make "go install" work on windows (thanks Alex Brainman).
+* bytes: add two Buffer examples.

+* cmd/go: avoid infinite loop with package specific flags (thanks Mikio Hara),
+ fixes to build standard library,

+ refer to http://build.golang.org/ where applicable (thanks Robert Hencke),
+ suggest code.google.com/p/go instead of go.googlecode.com/hg.
+* encoding/binary: add Write and Read examples,
+ add more benchmarks (thanks Roger Peppe).
+* encoding/gob: arrays are zero only if their elements are zero.

+ avoid unsafe in defn of package runtime,
+ better linenumbers for inlined functions,
+ better loopdepth analysis for labels,
+ implement and test \r in raw strings,
+ inlining, allow empty bodies, fix _ arguments,
+ omit argument names from function types in error messages.
+* go/ast, parser: remember short variable decls. w/ correspoding ident objects.
+* go/build: add new +build tags 'cgo' and 'nocgo'.
+* go/doc, godoc: move export filtering into go/doc
+* go/printer, gofmt: fine tuning of line spacing.

+* html: more parser improvements (thanks Andrew Balholm).
+* json: some tests to demonstrate bad error messages,
+ use strconv.Append variants to avoid allocations in encoding.
+* ld: add support for netbsd signature note section (thanks Joel Sing),
+ allow for IMAGE_REL_AMD64_ADDR32NB relocation type (thanks Alex Brainman).
+* math/big: Rand shouldn't hang if argument is also receiver.
+* misc/builder: set default builder host to build.golang.org.
+* misc/dashboard: delete old build dashboard code ,
+ improvements and fixes for the go implementation.
+* misc/vim: fix go filetype detection (thanks Paul Sbarra).
