go1.12.2 (released 2019/04/05) includes fixes to the compiler, the go command,
the runtime, and the doc, net, net/http/httputil, and os packages. See the Go
1.12.2 milestone on our issue tracker for details.
go1.12.3 (released 2019/04/08) was accidentally released without its intended
fix. It is identical to go1.12.2, except for its version number. The intended
fix is in go1.12.4.
go1.12.4 (released 2019/04/11) fixes an issue where using the prebuilt binary
releases on older versions of GNU/Linux led to failures when linking programs
that used cgo. Only Linux users who hit this issue need to update.
go1.12.1 (released 2019/03/14) includes fixes to cgo, the compiler, the go
command, and the fmt, net/smtp, os, path/filepath, sync, and text/template
packages. See the Go 1.12.1 milestone on our issue tracker for details.

While here, re-add a PLIST.route conditional that was accidentally removed,
breaking the build on Linux (PR pkg/54054).
Some of the highlights include opt-in support for TLS 1.3, improved modules
support (in preparation for being the default in Go 1.13), support for
windows/arm, and improved macOS & iOS forwards compatibility.

In pkgsrc, this is _not_ the default version for Go package builds just yet.
