Today the Go team is happy to announce the release of Go 1.11. You can get it from the [[https://golang.org/dl/][download page]]. -There are many changes and improvements to the toolchain, runtime, and libraries, but two features stand out as being especially exciting: modules and WebAssembly support. +There are many changes and improvements to the toolchain, +runtime, and libraries, but two features stand out as being especially exciting: +modules and WebAssembly support. -This release adds preliminary support for a [[https://golang.org/doc/go1.11#modules][new concept called “modules,”]] an alternative to GOPATH with integrated support for versioning and package distribution. -Module support is considered experimental, and there are still a few rough edges to smooth out, so please make liberal use of the [[https://golang.org/issue/new][issue tracker]]. +This release adds preliminary support for a [[https://golang.org/doc/go1.11#modules][new concept called “modules,”]] +an alternative to GOPATH with integrated support for versioning and package distribution. +Module support is considered experimental, +and there are still a few rough edges to smooth out, +so please make liberal use of the [[https://golang.org/issue/new][issue tracker]]. Go 1.11 also adds an experimental port to [[https://golang.org/doc/go1.11#wasm][WebAssembly]] (`js/wasm`). This allows programmers to compile Go programs to a binary format compatible with four major web browsers. -You can read more about WebAssembly (abbreviated “Wasm”) at [[https://webassembly.org/][webassembly.org]] and see [[https://golang.org/wiki/WebAssembly][this wiki page]] on how to get started with using Wasm with Go. +You can read more about WebAssembly (abbreviated “Wasm”) at [[https://webassembly.org/][webassembly.org]] +and see [[https://golang.org/wiki/WebAssembly][this wiki page]] on how to +get started with using Wasm with Go. Special thanks to [[https://github.com/neelance][Richard Musiol]] for contributing the WebAssembly port! -We also want to thank everyone who contributed to this release by writing code, filing bugs, providing feedback, and/or testing the betas and release candidates. +We also want to thank everyone who contributed to this release by writing code, +filing bugs, providing feedback, and/or testing the betas and release candidates.
