+This release includes changes to the strconv, http, and exp/draw packages.
+Client code that uses the http or exp/draw packages will need to be changed,
+and code that uses strconv or fmt's "%q" formatting directive merits checking.
+
+The strconv package's Quote function now escapes only those Unicode code points
+not classified as printable by unicode.IsPrint. Previously Quote would escape
+all non-ASCII characters. This also affects the fmt package's "%q" formatting
+directive. The previous quoting behavior is still available via strconv's new
+QuoteToASCII function.   
+
+Most instances of the type map[string][]string in the http package have been
+replaced with the new Values type. The http.Values type has the Get, Set, Add,
+and Del helper methods to make working with query parameters and form values
+more convenient.
+
+The exp/draw package has been split into the image/draw and exp/gui packages.
+
+Other changes:
+* 8l, ld: initial adjustments for Plan 9 native compilation of 8l (thanks Lucio De Re).
+* arm: floating point improvements (thanks Fan Hongjian).
+* big: Improved speed of nat-to-string conversion (thanks Michael T. Jones),

+* exec: export the underlying *os.Process in Cmd.
+* gc: enable building under clang/2.9 (thanks Dave Cheney),
+        preparatory work toward escape analysis, compact stack frames.
+* go/build: new incomplete package for building go programs.
+* godefs: do not assume forward type references are enums (thanks Robert Hencke).
+* gofix, gofmt: fix diff regression from exec change.
