vimrc/sources_non_forked/vim-go/CHANGELOG.md

1.8 (unplanned)

FEATURES:

• 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]

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: fix indentations on all files to 2-spaces/no tabs. This is now the default vim-go style across all VimL files [gh-915]
• Syntax: improved syntax highglighting performance for methods, fields, structs and interface type declarations [gh-917]

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]

BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

• g:go_highlight_structs and g:go_highlight_interface are removed in favor of g:go_highlight_types [gh-917]

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/..."]
