The github.com/apache/arrow/go/v11/arrow/compute module was removed in commit f6e3442, making it part of the main module. The go version in go.mod was updated to go1.18, but older versions of the go toolchain could still be used; > Requirements > > Despite the go.mod stating go1.18, everything except for the compute package > is able to be built with go1.17 (and most is also compatible with go1.16). Before Go 1.21, the go line in go.mod was effectively advisory: older toolchains might still try to build the module, and only complain if they hit something unsupported. Starting with Go 1.21 (backported to go1.19.3 and go1.20.8), the go line became a strict minimum requirement. https://go.dev/doc/go1.21 Commit ddfa815 updated the go version in go.mod to go1.21.0, no longer allowing older toolchains to be used. This patch removes the mentions of older toolchains. Signed-off-by: Sebastiaan van Stijn <github@gone.nl>
