+<li>
+Also in the <a href="/pkg/crypto/tls/"><code>crypto/tls</code></a> package,
+the server now supports 
+<a href="https://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-ietf-tls-downgrade-scsv-00">TLS_FALLBACK_SCSV</a>
+to help clients detect fallback attacks like 
+<a href="http://googleonlinesecurity.blogspot.com/2014/10/this-poodle-bites-exploiting-ssl-30.html">POODLE</a>.
+(The crypto/tls package's client has never supported SSLv3, so it is not
+vulnerable to the POODLE attack.)
+</li>
+
+<li>
+In the <a href="/pkg/encoding/asn1/"><code>encoding/asn1</code></a> package,
+optional elements with a default value will now only be omitted if they have that value.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+The <a href="/pkg/encoding/csv/"><code>encoding/csv</code></a> package no longer
+quotes empty strings but does quote the end-of-data marker <code>\.</code> (backslash dot).
+This is permitted by the definition of CSV and allows it to work better with Postgres.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+The <a href="/pkg/encoding/gob/"><code>encoding/gob</code></a> package has been rewritten to eliminate
+the use of unsafe operations, allowing it to be used in environments that do not permit use of the
+<a href="/pkg/unsafe/"><code>unsafe</code></a> package.
+For typical uses it will be 10-30% slower, but the delta is dependent on the type of the data and
+in some cases, especially involving arrays, it can be faster.
+There is no functional change.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+In the <a href="/pkg/fmt/"><code>fmt</code></a> package,
+formatting of pointers to maps has changed to be consistent with that of pointers
+to structs, arrays, and so on.
+For instance, <code>&amp;map[string]int{"one":</code> <code>1}</code> now prints by default as
+<code>&amp;map[one:</code> <code>1]</code> rather than as a hexadecimal pointer value.

+The <a href="/pkg/os/"><code>os</code></a> package
+now implements symbolic links on the Windows operating system
+through the <a href="/pkg/os/#Symlink"><code>Symlink</code></a> function.

+
+<li>
+The <a href="/pkg/reflect/"><code>reflect</code></a> package's
+<a href="/pkg/reflect/#Type"><code>Type</code></a> interface
+has a new method, <a href="/pkg/reflect/#type.Comparable"><code>Comparable</code></a>,
+that reports whether the type implements general comparisons.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+Also in the <a href="/pkg/reflect/"><code>reflect</code></a> package, the
+<a href="/pkg/reflect/#Value"><code>Value</code></a> interface is now three instead of four words
+because of changes to the implementation of interfaces in the runtime.
+This saves memory but has no semantic effect.

+The <a href="/pkg/text/scanner/"><code>text/scanner</code></a> package's
+<a href="/pkg/text/scanner/#Scanner"><code>Scanner</code></a> type
+has a new function,
+<a href="/pkg/text/scanner/#Scanner.IsIdentRune"><code>IsIdentRune</code></a>,
+allowing one to control the definition of an identifier when scanning.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+The <a href="/pkg/text/template/"><code>text/template</code></a> package's boolean
+functions <code>eq</code>, <code>lt</code>, and so on have been generalized to allow comparison
+of signed and unsigned integers, simplifying their use in practice.
+(Previously one could only compare values of the same signedness.)
+All negative values compare less than all unsigned values.
+</li>
+
+<li>
+The <code>time</code> package now uses the standard symbol for the micro prefix,
+the micro symbol (U+00B5 'µ'), to print microsecond durations.
+<a href="/pkg/time/#ParseDuration"><code>ParseDuration</code></a> still accepts <code>us</code>
+but the package no longer prints microseconds as <code>us</code>.
+<br>
+<em>Updating</em>: Code that depends on the output format of durations
+but does not use ParseDuration will need to be updated.
