Go 1.7 released
Version 1.7 of the Go language
has been released. "There is one tiny language change in this
release. The section on terminating statements clarifies that to determine
whether a statement list ends in a terminating statement, the 'final
non-empty statement' is considered the end, matching the existing behavior
of the gc and gccgo compiler toolchains." On the other hand, there
appear to be significant optimization improvements; see the release notes for details.
