1.11 - (January 9, 2017)

FEATURES:

• Travis test integration has been added. Now any file that is added as <name>_test.vim will be automatically tested in for every Pull Request (just like how we add tests to Go with _test.go). Going forward this will tremendously increase the stability and decrease the maintenance burden of vim-go. [gh-1157]

g:go_highlight_space_tab_error
g:go_highlight_trailing_whitespace_error

1.10 (November 24, 2016)

FEATURES:

• Vim 8.0 support! This is the initial version to add Vim 8.0 based support to all basic commands (check out below for more information). With time we'll going to extend it to other commands. All the features are only enabled if you have at least Vim 8.0.0087. Backwards compatible with Vim 7.4.x. If you see any problems, please open an issue.

• We have now a logo for vim-go! Thanks to @egonelbre for his work on this.

• :GoBuild, :GoTest, :GoTestCompile, :GoInstall commands are now fully async. Async means it doesn't block your UI anymore. If the command finished it echoes the status. For a better experience use the statusline information (more info below)

• :GoCoverage and :GoCoverageBrowser commands are fully async.

• :GoDef is fully async if guru is used as command.

• :GoRename is fully async .

• :GoMetaLinter is fully asnyc. Also works with the current autosave linting feature. As a reminder, to enable auto linting on save either call :GoMetaLinterAutoSaveToggle (temporary) or add let g:go_metalinter_autosave = 1 (persistent) to your virmc).

• All guru commands run asynchronously if Vim 8.0 is being used. Current Commands:

  • GoImplements
  • GoWhicherrs
  • GoCallees
  • GoDescribe
  • GoCallers
  • GoCallstack
  • GoFreevars
  • GoChannelPeers
  • GoReferrers

• :GoSameIds also runs asynchronously. This makes it useful especially for auto sameids mode. In this mode it constantly evaluates the identifier under the cursor whenever it's in hold position and then calls :GoSameIds. As a reminder, to enable auto info either call :GoSameIdsAutoToggle(temporary) or add let g:go_auto_sameids = 1 (persistent) to your vimrc.

• :GoInfo is now non blocking and works in async mode if guru is used in g:go_info_mode. This makes it useful especially for autoinfo mode. In this mode it constantly evaluates the identifier under the cursor whenever it's in hold position and then calls :GoInfo. As a reminder, to enable auto info either call :GoAutoTypeInfoToggle(temporary) or add let g:go_auto_type_info = 1 (persistent) to your vimrc. To use guru instead of gocode add following to your vimrc: let g:go_info_mode = 'guru'

  The guru is more accurate and reliabed due the usage of guru describe. It doesn't rely on pkg/ folder like gocode does. However it's slower than gocode as there is no caching mechanism in guru yet.

• New: Statusline function: go#statusline#Show() which can be plugged into the statusline bar. Works only with vim 8.0. It shows all asynchronously called functions status real time. Checkout it in action: https://twitter.com/fatih/status/800473735467847680. To enable it add the following to your vimrc. If you use lightline, airline, .. check out their respective documentation on how to add a custom function:

" go command status (requires vim-go)
set statusline+=%#goStatuslineColor#
set statusline+=%{go#statusline#Show()}
set statusline+=%*

IMPROVEMENTS:

• :GoDocBrowser is now capable to to understand the identifier under the cursor (just like :GoDoc)
• Function calls are now highlighted as well when g:go_highlight_functions is enabled [gh-1048]
• Add completion support for un-imported packages. This allows to complete even if the package is not imported. By default it's disabled, enable by adding let g:go_gocode_unimported_packages = 1 [gh-1084]
• Tools that embeds GOROOT into their binaries do not work when people update their Go version and the GOROOT contains the vesion as part of their path (i.e: /usr/local/Cellar/go/1.7.2/libexec, more info) . This is now fixed by introducing automatic GOROOT set/unset before each tool invoke. [gh-954]
• Added new setting g:go_echo_go_info to enable/disable printing identifier information when completion is done [gh-1101]
• Added new go_echo_command_info setting is added, which is enabled by default. It's just a switch for disabling messages of commands, such as :GoBuild, :GoTest, etc.. Useful to disable if go#statusline#Show() is being used in Statusline, to prevent to see duplicates notifications.
• goSameId highlighting is now linked to Search, which is much more clear as it changes according to the users colorscheme
• Add plug mapping (go-lint) for :GoLint [gh-1089]

BUG FIXES:

• Change back nil and iota highlighting color to the old type [gh-1049]
• Fix passing arguments to :GoBuild while using NeoVim [gh-1062]
• Do not open a split if :GoDef is used on a modified file [gh-1083]
• Highlight nested structs correctly [gh-1075]
• Highlight builtin functions correctly if g:go_highlight_functions is enabled [gh-1070]
• Fix :GoSameIds highlighting if a new buffer is opened in the same window [gh-1067]
• Internal: add abort to all vim function to return in case of errors [gh-1100]
• Fix :GoCoverage to be executed if working dir is not inside the test dir [gh-1033]

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• remove vim-dispatch and vimproc.vim support. vim 8.0 has now the necessary API to invoke async jobs and timers. Going forward we should use those. Also this will remove the burden to maintain compatibility with those plugins.

• go#jobcontrol#Statusline() is removed in favor of the new, global and extensible go#statusline#Show()

1.9 (September 13, 2016)

IMPROVEMENTS:

• guru uses now the -modified flag, which allows us use guru on modified buffers as well. This affects all commands where guru is used. Such as :GoDef, :GoReferrers, etc.. [gh-944]
• :GoDoc uses now the -modified flag under the hood (for `gogetdoc), which allows us to get documentation for the identifier under the cursor ina modified buffer. [gh-1014]
• Cleanup and improve documentation [gh-987]
• Add new g:go_gocode_socket_type setting to change the underlying socket type passed to gocode. Usefull to fallback to tcp on cases such as Bash on Windows [gh-1000]

• Improve docs about go_auto_sameids [gh-1017]
• Improve error message by printing the full path if an incompatible goimports is being used [gh-1006]
• iota and nil are now highlighted correctly and are not treated as booleans [gh-1030]

BUG FIXES:

• Fix system calls on Windows [gh-988]
• Fix :GoSameIds and :GoCoverage for light background and after changing color schemes [gh-983]
• Fix TagBar and GoCallers for Windows user [gh-999]

• Fix updating the jumplist if :GoDef is used [gh-1029]
• Fix highlighting literal percent sign (%%) in strings [gh-1011]
• Fix highlighting of nested fields [gh-1007]
• Fix checking for exepath feature for the upcoming vim 8.0 release [gh-1046]

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• Rename GoMetalinterAutoSaveToggle to GoMetaLinterAutoSaveToggle to make it compatible with the existing :GoMetaLinter command [gh-1020]

1.8 (July 31, 2016)

FEATURES:

• New :GoAddTags command that adds field tags for the fields of a struct automatically based on the field names. Checkout the demo to see it in action: https://twitter.com/fatih/status/759822857773907968 [gh-971]
• The snippet expansion json is now much more smarter. It pre populates the placeholder according to the first word and it also applies snake_case or camelCase conversion. Together with :GoAddTags it gives vim-go users flexible ways of populating a field tag. Checkout the demo to see it in action: https://twitter.com/fatih/status/754477622042689536 [gh-927]
• New :GoSameIds command. When called highlights all same identifiers in the current file. Can be also enabled to highlight identifiers automatically (with :GoSameIdsAutoToggle or g:go_auto_sameids). Checkout the demo to see it in action: https://twitter.com/fatih/status/753673709278339072. [gh-936]
• New :GoWhicherrs command. It shows all possible values of the selected error variable. [gh-948]
• Add new errp snippet to expand an if err != nil { panic() } clause [gh-926]
• If you open a new buffer with a Go filename it get automatically populated based on the directory. If there are no Go files a simple main package is created, otherwise the file will include the package declaration line based on the package in the current directory. Checkout the demo to see it in action: https://twitter.com/fatih/status/748333086643994624. This is enabled by default. Can be disabled with let g:go_template_autocreate = 0. You can use your own template with let g:go_template_file = "foo.go" and putting the file under the templates/ folder. [gh-918]
• Added new toggle commands to enable/disable feature that run for your automatic. For example if you have let g:go_auto_type_info = 1 enabled, you can now easily enable/disable it on the fly. Support added with the following commands: :GoAutoTypeInfoToggle, :GoFmtAutoSaveToggle, :GoAsmFmtAutoSaveToggle, :GoMetalinterAutoSaveToggle, :GoTemplateAutoCreateToggle [gh-945]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• :GoDoc accepts arguments now which are passed directly to godoc. So usages like :GoDoc flag works again (it was changed in previous versions [gh-894]
• :GoDef works now for modified files as well [gh-910]
• Internal: pass filename to the --srcdir flag to enable upcoming goimports features [gh-957]
• Internal: fix indentations on all files to 2-spaces/no tabs. This is now the default vim-go style across all VimL files [gh-915]
• Internal: autocmd settings can be now dynamically enabled/disabled [gh-939]
• Internal: automatically detect GOPATH for :GoInstall [gh-980]
• Internal: shell executions uses now by default sh and then resets it back to the user preference. [gh-967]
• Syntax: improved syntax highglighting performance for methods, fields, structs and interface type declarations [gh-917]
• Syntax: moved :GoCoverage highlight definition into go's syntax file for more customizability [gh-962]

BUG FIXES:

• Escape # characters when opening URL's, as it's handled as alternative file in vim [gh-895]
• Fix typos in doc/vim-go.txt about usages of syntax highglightings [gh-897]
• Fix :GoCoverage not running for Neovim [gh-899]
• Fix :GoFmt not picking up -srcdir if the command was set to use goimports [gh-904]
• Fix :GoTestCompile to not leave behind artifacts if the cwd and the test files's directory do not match [gh-909]
• Fix :GoDocBrowser to not fail if godoc doesn't exist [gh-920]
• Fix :GoFmt to not change the permissions of saved file. Now original file permissions are restored [gh-922]

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

1.7.1 (June 7, 2016)

BUG FIXES:

• Fixed typo in syntax/go.vim file from go:go_highlight_fields to g:go_highlight_fields

1.7 (June 7, 2016)

FEATURES:

• New :GoImpl command that generates method stubs for implementing an interface. Checkout the demo to see how it works. [gh-846]
• godef support is added back as an optional setting. By default :GoDef still uses guru, but can be changed to godef by adding the option: let g:go_def_mode = 'godef' [gh-888]
• New <C-w><C-]> and <C-w>]> shortcuts to split current window and jumpt to the identifier under cursor. [gh-838]
• New syntax setting" g:go_highlight_fields that highlights struct field references [gh-854]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• Invoking :GoRename now reloads all files to reflect new changes automatically [gh-855]
• Calling :GoTestCompile does not create any temporary binary file anymore [gh-879]
• Enable passing the -tags flag to :GoDef. Now you can pass build tags to :GoDef via :GoGuruTags or g:go_guru_tags
• Internal refactoring to use custom system() function that wraps both the standard system() call and vimproc. Now all system calls will take advantage and will use vimproc if installed. [gh-801]
• Completion enables now gocode's autobuild and propose-builtins flags automatically. With these settings packages will be automatically build to get the freshest completion candidates and builtin keywords will be showed as well. By defaults these settings are enabled. Settings can be disabled/enabled via g:go_gocode_autobuild and g:go_gocode_propose_builtins. [gh-815]
• Added new http.HandlerFunc snippets with hf and hhf shortcuts [gh-816]
• Added new Example and Benchmark snippets with example and benchmark shortcuts [gh-836]
• Search tool binaries first in GOBIN and then in PATH as most of vim-go users installs it to GOBIN mostly [gh-823]
• Improve guru based commands by providing automatically detected GOPATHS, such as gb, godep to be used if possible [gh-861]
• Add <Plug>(go-imports) mapping to make it assignable to other keys [gh-878]
• Increase compatibility with tcsh [gh-869]
• Improve :GoInstallBinaries for GOPATH's which don't have packages that work well with go get -u. We have a new g:go_get_update setting to disable it. By default it's enabled. [gh-883]

BUG FIXES:

• Fix (go-freevars) plug mapping to work as in visual mode instead of noncompatible normal mode [gh-832]
• Commands based on guru now shows a more meaningful error message instead of just showing the exit status (-1)
• Fix :GoCoverage accidently enabling syntax highlighting for users who don't use syntax (i.e syntax off) [gh-827]
• Fix :GoCoverage colors to work for xterm as well [gh-863]
• Fix commenting out block of texts for Go templates (filetype gothtmltmpl) [gh-813]
• Fix :GoImplements failing because of an empty scope definition. Now we default to current package to make it usable.
• Fix :GoPlay posting to non HTTPS url. [gh-847]
• Fix escaping the filenames for lint and motion commands [gh-862]
• Fix escaping the filename to :GoDef completely for tcsh [gh-868]
• Fix showing SUCCESS for go test related commands if no test files are available [gh-859]

1.6 (April 25, 2016)

FEATURES:

• New CHANGELOG.md file (which you're reading now). This will make it easier for me to track changes and release versions
• :GoCoverage is now highlighting the current source file for covered/uncovered lines. If called again it runs the tests and updates the annotation. Use :GoCoverageClear to clear the coverage annotation. This is a pretty good addition to vim-go and I suggest to check out the gif that shows it in action: https://twitter.com/fatih/status/716722650383564800 [gh-786]
• :GoCoverageToggle just like :GoCoverage but acts as a toggle. If run again it clears the annotation.
• :GoCoverageBrowser opens a new annotated HTML page. This is the old :GoCoverage behavior [gh-786]
• :GoDoc uses now gogetdoc to lookup and display the comment documentation for the identifier under the cursor. This is more superior as it support looking up dot imports, named imports and imports where package name and file name are different [gh-782]
• guru support: oracle is replaced by the new tool guru. oracle.vim is therefore renamed to guru.vim. I've also refactored the code to make it much more easier to maintain and add additional features in future (such as upcoming JSON decoding). vim-go is now fully compatible with guru. Please be sure you have installed guru. You can easily do it with :GoInstallBinaries.
• :GoDef uses now guru definition under the hood instead of godef. This fixes the following issues: 1. dot imports 2. vendor imports 3. folder != package name imports. The tool godef is also deprecated and not used anymore.
• :GoDef does have now history of the call stack. This means you can easily jump back to your last entry. This can be done with the new command :GoDefPop or the mapping CTRL-t. To see the stack and jump between entries you can use the new command :GoDefStack, which shows the list of all stack entries. To reset the stack list anytime you can call :GoDefStackClear [gh-776]

IMPROVEMENTS:

• :GoCoverage is executed asynchronously when used within Neovim [gh-686]
• :GoTestFunc supports now testable examples [gh-794]
• :GoDef can jump to existing buffers instead of opening a new window (split, vsplit or tab). By default it's disabled to not break the old behavior, can be enabled with let g:go_def_reuse_buffer = 1

BUG FIXES:

• Fix not showing documentation for dot, named and package/file name being different imports [gh-332]
• Term mode: fix closing location list if result is successful after a failed attempt [gh-768]
• Syntax: fix gotexttmpl identifier highlighting [gh-778]
• Doc: fix wrong wording for go-run mapping. It's for the whole main package, not for the current file

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• :GoDef doesn't accept any identifier as an argument. This is not suported via guru definition and also was not widely used either. Also with this, we significantly simplified the existing def.vim code
• :GoOracleScope and :GoOracleTags are deprecated in favor of :GoGuruScope and :GoGuruTags. Also g:go_oracle_scope is renamed to g:go_guru_scope
• g:go_guru_scope accepts a variable in type of list instead of string. i.g: let g:go_guru_scope = ["github.com/fatih/structs", "golang.org/x/tools/..."]
