Good morning, this is your Go development briefing for April 11th, 2026.
Two notable commits landed in the Go repository today. Michael Matloob removed Bazaar support from the go command, addressing issue #78090. This change eliminates bzr-related code from the version control system handlers and module fetching components. The removal affects multiple files across the cmd/go package,…
Neal Patel contributed a security fix to the crypto/tls package, correcting the Server Name Indication encoded length in Encrypted ClientHello implementations. This fix ensures proper compliance with RFC 9849 section 6.1.3 and includes comprehensive test coverage for the ECH SNI encoding functionality.
What's next: The Bazaar removal represents continued cleanup of legacy VCS support in Go tooling. The TLS fix strengthens Go's cryptographic implementations as ECH adoption grows.
That's your Go briefing for today.
