  That's not what he asked for. I'm too curious about the changes since RC1.

There are not a lot: https://code.google.com/p/go/source/list https://code.google.com/p/go/source/list Go1.1rc1 was issued on May 1, unfortunately I can't see the tag but all changes since May 1 till go1.1rc2 tag fit to one web page so it's not hard to click all of them to have a vision.

One big one (for Windows users) was they reduced the amount of heap a Go program on Windows can access from 128 GB to 32 GB. This was to work around a design flaw in the Windows virtual memory allocator that forces virtual memory commitments that are free in Linux/BSD/OSX to have to be backed with memory, or more commonly, swap on Windows. On the other OSs mentioned above the Go runtime's pre-allocation of virtual memory space is non-backed.

*C: add Jeremiah Harmsen (Google CLA). *cmd/cgo: correct pragma name in comment. *cmd/ld: add .note.GNU-stack section for external linking (thanks Shenghou Ma), fix SDYNIMPORT symbol test (thanks Alex Brainman), fix another unsigned value causing bugs on Plan 9, fix syms that are both cgo_import_static & cgo_import_dynamic. *database/sql: remove an unused field from Rows. *doc: add FAQ entry about language changes, fix formatting in effective go code snippet, link to Go 1.1 release notes, only U+FEFF is a byte-order mark; U+FFFE is not. *go/build: document GOOS.go also has implicit GOOS build constraint (thanks Shenghou Ma). *go/doc/example: Fix bug causing false negatives for Example playability. *image/png: fix error message to not return width twice. *libmach: fix build on Plan 9 (thanks David du Colombier). *net: do not call syscall.Bind twice on windows (thanks Alex Brainman). *regexp: doc fix. *runtime/cgo: export symbols in both internal and external link mode. *runtime: fix crash in badsignal(), reduce max arena size on windows/amd64 to 32 GiB (thanks Shenghou Ma). *syscall: fix prototype of Fchflags (API change) (thanks Shenghou Ma). *text/template: comment fix.
