# Issue #614: A slightly unusual issue, in three acts — Go Weekly

**[Golang Weekly](https://daily.dev/sources/glw)** · 4 min read · 5 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

This roundup covers a Google blog post arguing Go is well-suited for AI-assisted coding (and the pushback it received on Hacker News and Reddit), plus a batch of Go ecosystem news: Go 1.27 Release Candidate 3 is out with the final release expected soon; Go 1.26.6 and 1.25.13 shipped with ten security fixes, including two addressing malicious GOPROXY/GOSUMDB checksum bypasses; and Fiber 3.5 released with speedups and middleware security hardening. Also featured: a profile-guided optimization experiment on encoding/json showing up to 4.7% throughput gains, a look at integrating llama.cpp into Go without CGo, GopherCon UK slides on proposed Go 1.28 set types, a TypeScript-to-Go CLI rewrite story from Appwrite, and a roundup of the newsletter's own highlights from earlier in the year.

## Questions this post answers

### What security vulnerabilities were fixed in Go 1.26.6 and Go 1.25.13?

Go 1.26.6 and Go 1.25.13 shipped together with ten security fixes. Two of the fixes address issues that let a malicious GOPROXY or GOSUMDB slip module content past the checksum database, allowing tampered dependencies to bypass verification. Developers relying on module proxies should update to these patched versions.

_Developers tracking Go security patches can follow release details like these on daily.dev._

### When is Go 1.27 expected to be released?

Go 1.27 Release Candidate 3 has shipped, with the final release expected to follow within about a week, since final Go releases typically arrive roughly a week after the third release candidate. It will be announced on the official Go blog when it lands.

_Teams planning a Go 1.27 upgrade can track release timing news on daily.dev._

### How much throughput improvement does profile-guided optimization give for Go's encoding/json package?

Enabling profile-guided optimization (PGO) on encoding/json parsing yielded up to 4.7% more throughput in a benchmark experiment. The test trained profiles on three different JSON documents and measured each resulting build against all three, checking how well a profile trained on one workload transfers to previously unseen workloads.

_Developers evaluating Go performance tuning options can find PGO benchmarks like this on daily.dev._
