Since Go 1.17, windows/arm64 is a valid target.
Prior to v0.175.0, GoReleaser would just ignore this target. Since in Go 1.17 it is now a valid target, GoReleaser will build it if the Go version being used is 1.17 or later.
If you want to make sure it is ignored in the future, you need to add this to your build config:
ignore:
- goos: windows
goarch: arm64If you try to use new versions of GoReleaser with Go 1.16 or older, it will warn about it until this deprecation warning expires, after that your build will likely fail.
since 2021-10-13 (all), removed 2022-05-18
GoDownloader, the installation script generator, wasn't updated for a long time and is now officially deprecated. The website and all install scripts will be taken out in 6 months. You can still use any of the other install methods.
This also includes install.goreleaser.com.

Please follow to the check their documentation for alternative install methods.

Since Go 1.16, darwin/arm64 is macOS on Apple Silicon instead of iOS.
Prior to v0.156.0, GoReleaser would just ignore this target. Since in Go 1.16 and later it is a valid target, GoReleaser will now build it if the Go version being used is 1.16 or later.
If you want to make sure it is ignored in the future, you need to add this to your build config:
ignore:
- goos: darwin

GoReleaser skips SemVer validations when run with --skip-validation or --snapshot.
This causes other problems later, such as invalid Linux packages.
Because of that, once this deprecation expires, GoReleaser will hard fail on non-semver versions, as stated on our limitations page.
