goreleaser needs go 1.21

you can use any other of the install options though: https://goreleaser.com/install/

Okay, thank you.

So

• ...
• go 1.17 : goreleaser@v1.6.3
• go 1.18 : goreleaser@v1.10.3
• go 1.19 : goreleaser@v1.15.1
• go 1.20 : goreleaser@v1.21.2
• go 1.21 : goreleaser@v1.22.1
• ...

Is this the case?

I don't remember exactly, but usually each release uses the last Go version available at compile time.

I should probably do a better job documenting that though, will add it to the /install page too
