Just a quick heads up since we noticed an issue testing 1.8rc3 against our code. The issue is quite subtle and was hidden inside a dependency package of ours: https://github.com/pubnub/go/tree/master/messaging
After updating our containers to 1.8 we started noticing that pubnub was rejecting the JSON messages generated by its own package. We wrongly assumed it was a problem with JSON marshaling but the problem was a bit deeper. The root cause was that the `url.URL` `String()` method was changed to match the RFC 3986 https://beta.golang.org/doc/go1.8#net_url > To force interpretation as a relative path, such URLs should be prefixed with “./”. The URL.String method now inserts this prefix as needed. Because of this change, the PubNub library was now starting creating unexpected urls with `./` in the path which was causing a bunch of issues. To make things worth, the change in JSON marshaling of floating points make a lot of (poorly written) tests fail and ends up hiding the root cause: https://beta.golang.org/doc/go1.8#encoding_json The fix is quite straightforward but I am afraid this change to url.URL might make the transition to 1.8 much painful/unexpected than usual. - Matt -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "golang-nuts" group.
