Go

Go is a programming language and toolchain for building and managing software. It is used for parts of certain Mercury Core services. At the time of writing, the latest version is v1.25.3.

Upgrading

Section titled “Upgrading”

To upgrade Go to the latest version without going through the reinstallation process, update the go.mod file in the project’s directory and change the Go version:

module whatever


go 1.25.1

Upon the next build or run command, Go will automatically download and use the specified version. If you’re using a package manager, refer to its documentation for upgrade instructions.
