The most notable development in November was the introduction of a port of the Go programming language, version 1.18. This is still a few years old (from 2022; the current is Go 1.25), but it’s far newer than the previous Go port to Haiku (1.4 from 2014); and unlike the previous port which was never in the package repositories, this one is now already available there (for x86_64 at least) and can be installed via pkgman.
Hey! Forgot the first commit of November! with my super duper ultra awesome implementation of fuse_get_session() (to save you a click, I just did return NULL; there and got lucky ).
In any case, just mentioning it because that little change, together with the recipe for sqsh-tools, should allow anyone interested in mounting SquashFS files/images to do so in a recent enough nightly install.
Whoops, so it does! Just added that. (I had to go through the changes a little differently this month because of the new git browser not showing commit dates the same way, or tags at all, so that’s how it slipped through the cracks, I think.)
I noticed the new Go package, and I don’t even use Go! But this is a big step forward. (Too bad the Micro text editor now requires Go 1.19; figures. ) Other updates this month also sound good.

Also a warm welcome to the new contributor! Thanks!
