<h1 style="text-align: center;">go 1.4</h1>
<h2>[WHAT]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;the newest version release of&nbsp;the open source&nbsp;programming language go,&nbsp;</li>
</ol>
<h2>[WHY]</h2>
<ol>
<li>]&nbsp;one tiny language change, in the form of a backwards-compatible simple variant of <code>for</code>-<code>range</code> loop, and</li>
<li>] a possibly breaking change to the compiler involving methods on pointers-to-pointers.</li>
<li>] focuses primarily on implementation work,</li>
<li>] improving the garbage collector and preparing the ground for a fully concurrent collector to be rolled out in the next few releases.</li>
<li>] Stacks are now contiguous, reallocated when necessary rather than linking on new "segments"; this release therefore eliminates the notorious "hot stack split" problem.</li>
<li>] There are some new tools available including support in the <code>go</code> command for build-time source code generation.</li>
<li>] The release also adds support for ARM processors on Android and Native Client (NaCl) and for AMD64 on Plan 9.</li>
<li>] As always, Go 1.4 keeps the <a href="https://golang.org/doc/go1compat.html" target="_blank">promise of compatibility</a>, and almost everything will continue to compile and run without change when moved to 1.4</li>
