     5  <p>This page summarizes the changes between official stable releases of Go.
     6  The <a href="//golang.org/change">change log</a> has the full details.</p>
     7  
     8  <p>To update to a specific release, use:</p>
     9  
    10  <pre>
    11  git pull
    12  git checkout <i>release-branch</i>
    13  </pre>

    15  <h2 id="policy">Release Policy</h2>
    16  
    17  <p>
    18  Each major Go release obsoletes and ends support for the previous one.
    19  For example, if Go 1.5 has been released, then it is the current release
    20  and Go 1.4 and earlier are no longer supported.
    21  We fix critical problems in the current release as needed by issuing minor revisions
    22  (for example, Go 1.5.1, Go 1.5.2, and so on).
    23  </p>
    24  
    25  <p>
    26  As a special case, we issue minor revisions for critical security problems
    27  in both the current release and the previous release.
    28  For example, if Go 1.5 is the current release then we will issue minor revisions
    29  to fix critical security problems in both Go 1.4 and Go 1.5 as they arise.
    30  See the <a href="/security">security policy</a> for more details.
