<p><!-- CL 170448 -->
The compiler has a new implementation of escape analysis that is
more precise. For most Go code should be an improvement (in other
words, more Go variables and expressions allocated on the stack
instead of heap). However, this increased precision may also break
invalid code that happened to work before (for example, code that
violates
the <a href="/pkg/unsafe/#Pointer"><code>unsafe.Pointer</code>
safety rules</a>). If you notice any regressions that appear
related, the old escape analysis pass can be re-enabled
with <code>go</code> <code>build</code> <code>-gcflags=all=-newescape=false</code>.
The option to use the old escape analysis will be removed in a
future release.
</p>
<p><!-- CL 161904 -->
The compiler no longer emits floating point or complex constants
to <code>go_asm.h</code> files. These have always been emitted in a
form that could not be used as numeric constant in assembly code.

TODO
<p><!-- CL 161477 -->
Out of range panic messages now include the index that was out of
bounds and the length (or capacity) of the slice. For
example, <code>s[3]</code> on a slice of length 1 will panic with
"runtime error: index out of range [3] with length 1".
</p>
<p><!-- CL 171758 -->
This release improves performance of most uses of <code>defer</code>
by 30%.
</p>
<p><!-- CL 142960 -->
The runtime is now more aggressive at returning memory to the
operating system to make it available to co-tenant applications.
Previously, the runtime could retain memory for five or more minutes
following a spike in the heap size. It will now begin returning it
promptly after the heap shrinks. However, on many OSes, including
Linux, the OS itself reclaims memory lazily, so process RSS will not
decrease until the system is under memory pressure.
