## For developers

Release notes should be added to `next` by editing existing files or creating
new files. **Do not add RELNOTE=yes comments in CLs.** Instead, add a file to
the CL (or ask the author to do so).

At the end of the development cycle, the files will be merged by being
concatenated in sorted order by pathname. Files in the directory matching the
glob "*stdlib/*minor" are treated specially. They should be in subdirectories

The next/ directory contains the only files intended to be mutated.
Each file in that directory contains a list of features that may be added
to the next release of Go. The files in this directory only affect the
warning output from the go api tool. Each file should be named
nnnnn.txt, after the issue number for the accepted proposal.
(The #nnnnn suffix must also appear at the end of each line in the file;

/src/unicode/maketables
/src/time/tzdata/zzipdata.go
/test.out
/test/garbage/*.out
/test/pass.out
/test/run.out
/test/times.out

# This file includes artifacts of Go build that should not be checked in.
# For files created by specific development environment (e.g. editor),
# use alternative ways to exclude files from git.

Go 1.20 removed the preinstalled `.a` files for the standard library
from the Go distribution.
Installations now build and cache the standard library like
packages in other modules.
The [`installgoroot` setting](/cmd/go#hdr-Compile_and_install_packages_and_dependencies)
restores the installation and use of preinstalled `.a` files.

There is no plan to remove any of these settings.

### Go 1.19

The zoneinfo.zip archive contains time zone files compiled using
the code and data maintained as part of the IANA Time Zone Database.
The IANA asserts that the database is in the public domain.

# This file contains the initial defaults for go command configuration.
# Values set by 'go env -w' and written to the user's go/env file override these.
# The environment overrides everything else.
