Thank you for reporting this. We are aware of the issue and are working towards resolving it.

This will be done in the next few days. If you're looking for more up-to-date Go release information, I suggest using either the https://golang.org/dl/?mode=json endpoint, which is updated as soon as release downloads are available, or the maintner API (see usage example here), which is updated as soon as releases are cut (the tag is published).

In order to resolve this, we need to merge the release-branch.go1.13-security branch from the recent Go 1.13.7 security release into release-branch.go1.13 branch, and redeploy golang.org. Doing that merge is currently blocked until we finish making improvements to permissions. I'm working with @FiloSottile and @katiehockman on resolving that.

We need to finish this before we can cut the next minor releases, which are generally done at the beginning of each month, so soon.

I've filed an idea very much related to this problem at #36898, if you are interested.

This is fixed now.
