## Go notes
### Bug fixes
* parquet_reader / parquet_schema no longer crash
[ARROW-15509](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12303)
* Base64 encoding of origin Arrow schema properly uses padding and decodes
both with or without the padding in pqarrow.getOriginSchema
[ARROW-15544](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12679)
* ipc.Writer no longer includes unnecessary offsets when encoding sliced
arrays [ARROW-15715](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12453)
* Use base64.StdEncoding for Arrow Flight Basic Auth middleware for proper
encoding/decoding [ARROW-15772](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12503)
* Fix panic during concurrent compression of ipc body buffers due to
negative WaitGroup counter
[ARROW-15792](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12518)
* Fix memory leak in pqarrow.NewColumnWriter with nested structures
[ARROW-15946](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12641)
* ipc.FileReader no longer leaks memory when using ZSTD compression
[ARROW-16163](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12857)
### Enhancements
#### Flight RPC
* *Breaking Change* gRPC version is updated and Flight Server creation has
been simplified. Flight servers must now embed flight.BaseFlightServer
[ARROW-15418](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12233)
* You can now provide a full net.Listener as an alternative to just
providing an address to bind to when creating a Flight server
[ARROW-16082](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12768)
#### Parquet
* 'unpack_bool', sum_float64, and bitmap handling functions have been given
optimized assembly implementation for Arm64 NEON
[ARROW-15440](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12398),
[ARROW-15742](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12502),
[ARROW-15995](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12687)
* Go Parquet handling has been simplified to only need io.ReadSeeker instead
of a ReadAtSeeker interface
[ARROW-15963](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12658)
* BitSetRunReader and helper functions have been lifted to internal/bitutils
package to share between arrow and parquet implementations
[ARROW-15950](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12926)
* Parquet Reader now properly obeys the buffer size read property for
buffered streams [ARROW-16187](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12876)
* parquet NewBufferedReader no longer panics
[ARROW-16283](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12960)
#### Arrow
* Go Arrow library now supports Dictionary Arrays [ARROW-3039,
ARROW-9378](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12158)
* array.ArrayEqual, array.ArrayApproxEqual have been renamed to array.Equal
and array.ApproxEqual. Aliases are provided to avoid breaking existing code
which will be removed in v9.
[ARROW-5598](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12877)
* Custom cpu discovery package replaced with using golang.org/x/sys/cpu
[ARROW-16193](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12764)
* *Breaking Change* array.Interface, array.Record, array.Table, etc. were
deprecated in v7 in favor of arrow.Array, arrow.Record, etc. The deprecated
aliases have been removed in v8
[ARROW-16192](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12960)
#### CI
* staticcheck is now run as part of CI to lint the Go code
[ARROW-15296](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12540)
* Travis builds on Arm64 for Go are no longer allowed to fail
[ARROW-15400](https://github.com/apache/arrow/pull/12214)
