all: end support for macOS 11 in Go 1.25 #69839
Comments
This proposal has been added to the active column of the proposals project |
This seems like a routine deprecation. The number of people using macOS 11 seems to be small. (It's too bad we don't have telemetry on OS versions. @adonovan is going to file a proposal to gather that.) |
Filed: #70126 |
Have all remaining concerns about this proposal been addressed? The proposal is to announce the end of support for macOS 11 in the Go 1.24 release notes, and disable the builder for Go 1.25. Go 1.24 (security patches until Feb 2026) will be the last release with macOS 11 support. |
Based on the discussion above, this proposal seems like a likely accept. The proposal is to announce the end of support for macOS 11 in the Go 1.24 release notes, and disable the builder for Go 1.25. Go 1.24 (security patches until Feb 2026) will be the last release with macOS 11 support. |
No change in consensus, so accepted. 🎉 The proposal is to announce the end of support for macOS 11 in the Go 1.24 release notes, and disable the builder for Go 1.25. Go 1.24 (security patches until Feb 2026) will be the last release with macOS 11 support. |
Change https://go.dev/cl/627616 mentions this issue: |
Go 1.24 is the last release that will run on macOS 11 Big Sur. Go 1.25 will require macOS 12 Monterey or later. For #69839. For #23011.

Pre-announcement is added to 1.24 release notes. Move to 1.25. |
Proposal Details
Go added support for macOS 15 that was publicly released this September. After internal discussion, we believe the summer of 2025 will be a good time to drop support for macOS 11. The last security update it received was in September 2023.
On behalf of @golang/release, I propose we announce the end of support in the Go 1.24 release notes, and disable the builder for Go 1.25. Go 1.24 (security patches until Feb 2026) will be the last release with macOS 11 support.
For context, #64207 (comment) contains some history as well as future patterns if we keep the same cadence.
