### Timer changes

Go 1.23 makes two significant changes to the implementation of
[time.Timer] and [time.Ticker].

<!-- go.dev/issue/61542 -->
First, `Timer`s and `Ticker`s that are no longer referred to by the program
become eligible for garbage collection immediately, even if their
`Stop` methods have not been called.
Earlier versions of Go did not collect unstopped `Timer`s until after
they had fired and never collected unstopped `Ticker`s.

package main

import (
	"os"
	"runtime/pprof"
	"time"
)

func main() {
	f, err := os.Create("prof")
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	err = pprof.StartCPUProfile(f)
	if err != nil {
		panic(err)
	}
	// Spin to ensure we get some samples. If we get no samples, the result
	// is equivalent to an empty profile.
	start := time.Now()
	for time.Since(start) < 100*time.Millisecond {}
	pprof.StopCPUProfile()
	f.Close()

[Parse] and [ParseInLocation] now return an error if the time zone

CL 561935 - crypto CL that used purego tag and mentioned accepted-but-not-implemented proposal https://go.dev/issue/23172 to document purego tag; doesn't need a release note
CL 568340 - fixed a spurious race in time.Ticker.Reset (added via accepted proposal https://go.dev/issue/33184), doesn't seem to need a release note

### Go 1.23

Go 1.23 changed the channels created by package time to be unbuffered
(synchronous), which makes correct use of the [`Timer.Stop`](/pkg/time/#Timer.Stop)
and [`Timer.Reset`](/pkg/time/#Timer.Reset) method results much easier.
The [`asynctimerchan` setting](/pkg/time/#NewTimer) disables this change.
There are no runtime metrics for this change,
