by a package inside std or cmd, the import path is interpreted
as if it had a "vendor/" prefix. For example, within "crypto/tls",
an import of "golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte" resolves to
"vendor/golang.org/x/crypto/cryptobyte". When a package with the
same path is imported from a package outside std or cmd, it will
be resolved normally. Consequently, a binary may be built with two

field is only used during parsing, when it is populated with policy OIDs, but
not used during marshaling. It can be used to marshal these larger OIDs, instead
of the existing PolicyIdentifiers field, by using the
[`x509usepolicies` setting.](/pkg/crypto/x509/#CreateCertificate).


### Go 1.21

Go 1.21 made it a run-time error to call `panic` with a nil interface value,

The [Map.Clear] method deletes all the entries, resulting in

The [RuneLen] function returns the number of 16-bit words in
the UTF-16 encoding of the rune. It returns -1 if the rune

that for any call to a `Reset` or `Stop` method, no stale values
prepared before that call will be sent or received after the call.
Earlier versions of Go used channels with a one-element buffer,
making it difficult to use `Reset` and `Stop` correctly.
A visible effect of this change is that `len` and `cap` of timer channels
now returns 0 instead of 1, which may affect programs that

The new [ParseCookie] function parses a Cookie header value and
returns all the cookies which were set in it. Since the same cookie
name can appear multiple times the returned Values can contain
more than one value for a given key.

The new [ParseSetCookie] function parses a Set-Cookie header value and

This behavior is controlled by the `winsymlink` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winsymlink=1`.
Previous versions default to `winsymlink=0`.

On Windows, [EvalSymlinks] no longer tries to normalize
volumes to drive letters, which was not always even possible.
This behavior is controlled by the `winreadlinkvolume` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winreadlinkvolume=1`.

The [SetCrashOutput] function allows the user to specify an alternate
file to which the runtime should write its fatal crash report.
It may be used to construct an automated reporting mechanism for all
unexpected crashes, not just those in goroutines that explicitly use

On Windows, [Readlink] no longer tries to normalize volumes
to drive letters, which was not always even possible.
This behavior is controlled by the `winreadlinkvolume` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winreadlinkvolume=1`.

and reparse points that are not symlinks, Unix sockets, or dedup files
now always have [ModeIrregular] set.
This behavior is controlled by the `winsymlink` setting.
For Go 1.23, it defaults to `winsymlink=1`.
