Go programming language announced the new 1.22 release this Tuesday! Here’s the new features and how to install guide for Ubuntu & other Linux.
What’s New in Go 1.22:
- The variables declared by a “for” loop were created once and updated by each iteration. In new 1.22 release, each iteration of the loop creates new variables, to avoid accidental sharing bugs.
- “For” loops may now range over integers.
- Commands in workspaces can now use a vendor directory containing the dependencies of the workspace.
go getis no longer supported outside of a module in the legacy GOPATH mode- 2% ~ 14% improvement from enabling PGO.
- Requires the final point release of Go 1.20 or later for bootstrap
- New math/rand/v2 package
- New go/version package
- See release note for more details.
