+This release includes changes to the exec package that will require changes
+to client code.
+
+The exec package has been re-designed with a more convenient and succinct API.
+This code:
+	args := []string{“diff”, “-u”, “file1.txt”, “file2.txt”}
+	p, err := exec.Run(“/usr/bin/diff”, args, os.Environ(), "",
+		exec.DevNull, exec.Pipe, exec.DevNull)
+	if err != nil {
+		return nil, err
+	}
+	var buf bytes.Buffer
+	io.Copy(&buf, p.Stdout)
+	w, err := p.Wait(0)
+	p.Close()
+	if err != nil {
+		return nil, err
+	}
+	return buf.Bytes(), err
+can be rewritten as:
+	return exec.Command(“diff”, “-u”, “file1.txt”, “file2.txt”).Output()
+See the exec package documentation for the details ("godoc exec").
+
+By setting the GOPATH environment variable you can use goinstall to build and
+install your own code and external libraries outside of the Go tree (and avoid
+writing Makefiles).
+See the goinstall command documentation for the details ("godoc goinstall").
