Future version: What’s coming in Go 1.12
In the compiler toolchain, the live variable analysis capability has been improved. This may mean that finalizers will be executed sooner than in previous releases. If this is a problem, developers should consider the addition of a runtime.KeepAlive call.
There is a known issue in the garbage collector that can cause rare crashes. Users are advised to report any issues they encounter. Issues can be reported at the Go issue tracker.
