# Nomad Go Version
Nomad is intended to be built with a specific version of the Go toolchain for
each release. Generally, each Y release of Nomad (where 0.9.5 means X=0, Y=9,
Z=5) will update to the latest version of the Go toolchain available at the
time.
Nomad Z releases update to the latest Go Z release but do *not* change Go's Y
version.
## Version Table
| Nomad Version | Go Version |
|:-------------:|:----------:|
| 1.1 | 1.16 |
| 1.0 | 1.15 |
| 0.12 | 1.14 |
| 0.11 | 1.14 |
| 0.10 | 1.12 |
| 0.9 | 1.11 |
## Code
The
[`update_golang_version.sh`](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/main/scripts/update_golang_version.sh)
script is used to update the Go version for all build tools.
The [Changelog](https://github.com/hashicorp/nomad/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md)
will note when the Go version has changed in the Improvements section:
```
