The first release of the Go buildpack after October 2, 2020 will no longer include Go versions 1.13.x. These Go versions will no longer be supported upstream.[1] Please migrate your Go apps to supported versions of Go before that time.

Note: As 1.13.x is the current default version of Go in the buildpack, the default Go version will be updated to 1.15.x as a part of this removal. If you’d like to use a different Go version, please configure your application to select that version[2].

As always, the buildpacks team is happy to answer questions you may have about this deprecation in the #buildpacks Slack channel.
