Sensitive security-related issues should be reported to [******@****.***](mailto:******@****.***).
See the [security policy](https://golang.org/security) for details.

The recommended way to file an issue is by running `go bug`.
Otherwise, when filing an issue, make sure to answer these five questions:

1. What version of Go are you using (`go version`)?
2. What operating system and processor architecture are you using?

## 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

### Timer changes

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

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.

pkg syscall (linux-arm), const SYS_OABI_SYSCALL_BASE = 0
pkg syscall (linux-arm), const SYS_OPEN = 5
pkg syscall (linux-arm), const SYS_OPENAT = 322
pkg syscall (linux-arm), const SYS_OPEN_BY_HANDLE_AT = 371
pkg syscall (linux-arm), const SYS_PAUSE = 29
pkg syscall (linux-arm), const SYS_PCICONFIG_IOBASE = 271
pkg syscall (linux-arm), const SYS_PCICONFIG_READ = 272

which was a source of many inconsistencies and bugs.
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`.

Errors returned by [driver.Valuer] implementations are now wrapped for
improved error handling during operations like [DB.Query], [DB.Exec],
