## Go notes
### Arrow
#### Bug Fixes
* License lifted up a level so that it is properly detected for the
github.com/apache/arrow/go/v7 module for pkg.go.dev
[ARROW-14728](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11715). Documentation on
pkg.go.dev will look correct with complete major version handling as of the
v7.0.0 release.
* Errors from `MessageReader.Message` get properly surfaced by `Reader.Read`
[ARROW-14769](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11739)
* `ipc.Reader` properly uses the allocator it is initialized with instead of
making native byte slices
[ARROW-14717](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11712)
* Fixed a CI issue where the CGO tests were crashing on windows
[ARROW-14589](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11611)
* Various fixes for internal usages of `Release` and `Retain` to maintain
proper management of reference counting.
#### Enhancements
* Continuous Integration for Go library now uses Go1.16 as the version being
tested [ARROW-14985](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11860)
* `ValueOffsets` function added to `array.String` to return the entire slice
of offsets [ARROW-14645](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11653)
* `array.Interface` has been lifted to `arrow.Array`,
`array.{Record,Column,Chunked,Table}` have been lifted to
`arrow.{Record,Column,Chunked,Table}`. Interface `arrow.ArrayData` has been
created to be used instead of `array.Data`. Aliases have been provided for the
`array` package so existing code that doesn't directly use `array.Data`
shouldn't be affected. The aliases will be removed in v8.
[ARROW-5599](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11832)
* Arrays and Records now support marshalling to JSON via the
`json.Marshaller` interface. Builders support adding values to them by
unmarshalling from JSON via the `json.Unmarshaller` interface. `array.FromJSON`
function added to create Arrays from JSON directly.
[ARROW-9630](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11359)
* Basic handling of field referencing and expression building similar to the
C++ Compute APIs added through the new `compute` package in preparation for
adding compute interfaces. Does not yet allow *executing* expressions.
[ARROW-14430](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11514)
### Parquet
#### Enhancements
* Updated dependency versions
[ARROW-14462](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11537)
* `file` module added, Go Parquet library now supports full file reading and
writing. [ARROW-13984](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11146)
[ARROW-13986](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/11538). Does not yet provide
direct Parquet <--> Arrow conversions.
