- `buildGoModule` now supports a `goSum` attribute (`null` by default) to optionally provide a path to `go.sum` and correctly enabling rebuilds when the file changes.
- The newly added aliases `go_latest` and `buildGoLatestModule` are now available and can be use to prevent packages like `gopls` from breaking whenever the default toolchain minor version is lagging behind.
It can also be used _outside of nixpkgs_ to get fast access to new Go minor versions without having to wait for a staging cycle that will update the default builder/toolchain.
- A [policy documenting the details of Go toolchain and builder upgrades](https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/master/pkgs/build-support/go/README.md#go-toolchainbuilder-upgrade-policy) in nixpkgs, as well as rules related to using non-default builders like `buildGo1xxModule` and `buildGoLatestModule` has been added in-tree.
- top-level `playwright` now refers to the github Microsoft/playwright package
instead of the python tester launcher. You can still refer to the python
launcher via `python3Packages.toPythonApplication python3Packages.playwright`
