Hi gophers,

We have just released Go version 1.8.1, a minor point release.

This release includes fixes to the compiler, runtime, documentation, go command, and the
crypto/tls, encoding/xml, image/png, net, net/http, reflect, text/template, and time packages. 

You can download binary and source distributions from the Go web site:

To compile from source using a Git clone, update to the release with "git checkout go1.8.1" and build as usual.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to the release.

Chris

Thanks for releasing update so quickly. I've noticed that my build time has increased in 1.8.1 compared to 1.8. Is it a regression or something that team is aware of?

thanks,

You probably need to rebuild dependencies. (go build -i / go test -i /
go install)

I recommend always using the command

go install -v

This does two things

go install will store compiled packages in $GOPATH/pkg for reuse by subsequent compilation.

-v will print the name of every package as it is compiled. If the list is long the first time you invoke the command, this is because the go tool spotted you changed compiler versions.

Why the Iranians have blocked?
Is free and open source language golang?

Hello,

This issue might help you understand why:

I hope one day Golang would be available without any restrictions :-(

It's just politics!

Simply use a VPN, Tor or a proxy to bypass the filter!

Is github not visible from there? If it is, clone the repos from github
to the expected locations for $GOPATH and $GOROOT.
