Wiki: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/golang1.26
Discussion thread: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/171737

This is a proposed Change for Fedora Linux.
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.

== Summary ==
Update of Go (golang package) to the upcoming version 1.26 in Fedora 44.

== Owner ==
* Name: Alejandro Sáez Morollón
* Email: asm@redhat.com

== Detailed Description ==
Update of Go (golang package) to the upcoming version 1.26 in Fedora 44. Go 1.26 is expected to be released in February 2026. A mass rebuild of all the dependent packages is required.

== Feedback ==
Not feedback yet.

== Benefit to Fedora ==
Fedora users will receive the most current and recent Go release. Being close to upstream allows us to avoid security issues and provide more updated features. Consequently, Fedora will provide a reliable development platform for the Go language and projects written in it.

For a complete list of changes, see upstream change notes at https://tip.golang.org/doc/go1.26

== Scope ==
* Proposal owners:
Rebase the Golang package in Fedora 44 and help resolve any issues found during the rebuild.

Fix potential issues with the help of the Golang package maintainers.

Rebuild of dependent packages as part of planned mass-rebuild.

* Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)

* Alignment with the Fedora Strategy:

== Upgrade/compatibility impact ==
No upgrade or compatibility impact.

== Early Testing (Optional) ==
Do you require 'QA Blueprint' support? N

== How To Test ==
# Install golang 1.26 from rawhide and use it to build your application(s)/package(s).
# Perform a scratch build against rawhide.
# Your application/package built using golang 1.26 should work as expected.

== User Experience ==
Users will have a newer version of Go, with new features described in the release notes and security fixes.

== Dependencies ==
Omitted due to the number of packages listed.

== Contingency Plan ==
