Hello,
and thanks for another great Go release!
I have just one question, and it's not specific to this beta, but all Go
betas and rc-s.
I compile Go from repository like this:
cd $HOME/src/go.googlesource.com/go
git checkout -f master
git clean -fdx
git pull --ff-only
git checkout -f go1.8beta1
cd src && make.bash
The resulting binary unfortunately is not labeled as go1.8beta1, but
instead:
go version *devel +41908a5* Thu Dec 1 02:54:21 2016 +0000 linux/amd64
What follows next is that various Go software, where developers decided
to explicitely test for Go version (and of course don't deal well with
devel versions) fails to compile. One example is gopherjs, it's
uncompilable with this beta version, unless I manually edit the source
and remove gratuitous checks.
The question is, how do I persuade the compiled beta to report version
as go1.8beta1?
I have a feeling there should be a simple recipe for that, which would
better the chance of successful compile for various picky projects. :)
Thanks for any hint you can provide.
Regards,

Hello gophers,
We have just released go1.8beta1, a beta version of Go 1.8.
It is cut from the master branch at the revision tagged go1.8beta1.
There are no known problems or regressions.
Please try running production workloads and your unit tests with the
new version.
It is important that we find bugs *before* issuing a release candidate.
The release candidate is planned for the first week of January.
Your help in testing this beta is invaluable.
Report any problems using the issue tracker:

You can download binary and source distributions from the usual place:

To find out what has changed in Go 1.8, read the draft release notes:

Documentation for Go 1.8 is available at:

Our goal is to release the final version of Go 1.8 on February 1st.
Cheers,
Chris
