From the release notes, there are no intentionally breaking 
language changes between 1.12 and 1.13; however, 1.13 
changes the behavior of tools for go modules that are 
provided with the default language installation that may 
break workflows that rely on the previous behavior.

The time required to migrate really depends on the project. 
go projects that depend on private modules will require a 
reworking of their bitbake recipe to indicate to the tools that 
they should not attempt to use the default module mirrors to 
download and authenticate the private modules.

For projects that do not use private go modules, it looks like
 the changes to the tooling should be largely transparent, 
although the release notes don't 100% guarantee that.

Thanks for these patches. How compatible is 1.13 with 1.12 and do we
still need the 1.12 recipes? I'm wondering how hard it will be for
people to migrate...

Cheers,
