1. **Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 Support**
|

Tested on Windows 7 RTM (build 7600) — no updates required — through Windows 11 24H2

3. **Classic `go get` Behaviour**
|
||||
This fork allows for the deprecated `go get` behaviour when `GO111MODULE` is set to "off" or "auto". This means:

|
||||
- Outside of `GOPATH/src`, these commands can use module-aware mode when appropriate.
