Go's compiler now inlines functions that call recover, and net/http deprecates Transport.CancelRequest to a no-op.

The Go compiler now allows inlining of functions that call recover [1]. Since CL 685355, the unwinder counts inline-expanded frames as separate logical frames, so inlining no longer affects whether recover stops the panic; this lifts a long-standing restriction at the usual call cost. Meanwhile, net/http's Transport.CancelRequest is now a no-op [2], removing the per-Transport map of in-flight requests; code that relied on it to cancel requests will need to use the request context instead. The module loader parallelizes local directory matching across patterns [3], so `go list ./... ./staging/src/...` now evaluates matchLocalDirs concurrently using a queue sized to GOMAXPROCS, while preserving output order. ReverseProxy now preserves the original header state on 1xx responses [4], fixing a case where it cleared headers entirely. In golang/net, QUIC adds Stream.StopSending and renames error types [5]: StreamErrorCode becomes StreamError, ApplicationError becomes ConnectionCloseError, and CloseRead/CloseWrite now return errors. gopls extends assembly References to cover control labels and file-local symbols [6], scoping labels to their enclosing TEXT function and <> symbols to their file. The security docs gain general principles and a policy on bug submission retention [7][8].
