Introduction to Go 1.24¶$$$The latest Go release; version 1.24; arrives six months after Go 1.23. Most of its changes are in the implementation of the toolchain; runtime; and libraries. As always; the release maintains the Go 1 promise of compatibility. We expect almost all Go programs to continue to compile and run as before.$$$$$$Changes to the language¶$$$Go 1.24 now fully supports generic type aliases: a type alias may be parameterized like a defined type. See the language spec for details. For now; the feature can be disabled by setting GOEXPERIMENT=noaliastypeparams; but the aliastypeparams setting will be removed for Go 1.25.$$$$$$Tools¶$$$Go command¶$$$Go modules can now track executable dependencies using tool directives in go.mod. This removes the need for the previous workaround of adding tools as blank imports to a file conventionally named “tools.go”. The go tool command can now run these tools in addition to tools shipped with the Go distribution. For more information see the documentation.$$$$$$The new -tool flag for go get causes a tool directive to be added to the current module for named packages in addition to adding require directives.$$$$$$The new tool meta-pattern refers to all tools in the current module. This can be used to upgrade them all with go get tool or to install them into your GOBIN directory with go install tool.$$$$$$Executables created by go run and the new behavior of go tool are now cached in the Go build cache. This makes repeated executions faster at the expense of making the cache larger. See #69290.$$$$$$The go build and go install commands now accept a -json flag that reports build output and failures as structured JSON output on standard output. For details of the reporting format; see go help buildjson.$$$$$$Furthermore; go test -json now reports build output and failures in JSON; interleaved with test result JSON. These are distinguished by new Action types; but if they cause problems in a test integration system; you can revert to the text build output with GODEBUG setting gotestjsonbuildtext=1.$$$$$$The new GOAUTH environment variable provides a flexible way to authenticate private module fetches. See go help goauth for more information.$$$$$$The go build command now sets the main module’s version in the compiled binary based on the version control system tag and/or commit. A +dirty suffix will be appended if there are uncommitted changes. Use the -buildvcs=false flag to omit version control information from the binary.$$$$$$The new GODEBUG setting toolchaintrace=1 can be used to trace the go command’s toolchain selection process.$$$$$$Cgo¶$$$Cgo supports new annotations for C functions to improve run time performance. #cgo noescape cFunctionName tells the compiler that memory passed to the C function cFunctionname does not escape. #cgo nocallback cFunctionName tells the compiler that the C function cFunctionName does not call back to any Go functions. For more information; see the cgo documentation.$$$$$$Cgo currently refuses to compile calls to a C function which has multiple incompatible declarations. For instance; if f is declared as both void f(int) and void f(double); cgo will report an error instead of possibly generating an incorrect call sequence for f(0). New in this release is a better detector for this error condition when the incompatible declarations appear in different files. See #67699.
