## AI overview

A four-year retrospective on GoReleaser describes improvements made over the previous year, including deprecated-setting removal, package signing and creation, build hooks, compression, shell completions, GitHub Actions migration, reproducible builds, and multi-architecture Docker image support. It also notes an Apple Silicon support pull request awaiting the Go 1.16 release.
