Links

Recommended Action

# Update all golang.org/x packages
go get -u golang.org/x/sys@v0.37.0
go get -u golang.org/x/term@v0.36.0
go get -u golang.org/x/text@v0.30.0
go mod tidy

Or update all dependencies at once:

go get -u ./...
go mod tidy

Testing Notes

  • Run all tests: make test
  • Test on multiple platforms if possible (Linux, macOS, Windows)
  • Verify terminal output rendering works correctly
  • Check text encoding/decoding functions
  • Test system-level operations (file I/O, process management)
  • These are low-level packages, so regressions are rare but should be tested thoroughly

Additional Context

The golang.org/x packages are subrepos that extend the Go standard library. They are maintained by the Go team and follow strict compatibility guidelines. Regular updates help ensure compatibility with new operating system versions and include important bug fixes and security patches.
