https://golang.org/doc/devel/release.html
Go 1.5.2 is available. Well, it has been available for a while.

One of the more important bugfixes it includes is https://github.com/golang/go/issues/12233, which makes a golang-powered server possible. Without this patch the server would eventually go out of memory and has to be killed. Therefore, I see this "minor" patch with some actual importance.
