+<pre>
+This release includes language changes and changes to goinstall and gofmt.
+
+Equality and inequality (== and !=) are now defined for struct and array
+values, respectively, provided the elements of the data structures can
+themselves be compared. See the Go 1 release notes for the details:
+	http://weekly..golang.org/doc/go1.html#equality
+
+The rune type is now an alias for int32 and character literals have the default
+type of rune. Code that uses int where it should use rune will break. 
+See the Go 1 release notes for the details:
+	http://weekly.golang.org/doc/go1.html#rune
+
+Goinstall now expects Google Code import paths to be of the form:
+	"code.google.com/p/go-tour/tree"
+It will reject imports in the old style "go-tour.googlecode.com/hg/tree".
+There is a gofix module to rename such imports.
+Use goinstall -fix to update broken packages.
+
+Gofmt's flags have been modified slightly.
+The -tabintent flag has been renamed -tabs.
+The -spaces flag has been removed.
+
