bazelbuild/rules_go 0.11.0

on GitHub

New features

• Go 1.10.1 and 1.9.5 are now supported.
• go_path has been rewritten. This rule can be used to
  generate a GOPATH-like directory tree from a set of Go rules (e.g.,
  go_binary, go_library). It will contain source and data files for those
  rules and their transitive dependencies, including generated files. The
  directory tree may contain copied files, symbolic links, or may be a zip
  archive. This is not complete yet, but it should be usable for simple tools.
• go_embed_data now supports an unpack attribute, which allows it to unpack
  zip and tar archives.
• go_binary supports the c-archive and c-shared link modes.
• go_binary now supports an out attribute, allowing you to write binaries
  with custom names.
• go_test now runs examples.
• Proto library rules for Well Known Types are now defined in the
  @io_bazel_rules_go//proto/wkt package. go_proto_library rules using the
  default, gRPC, and gogo plugins depend on these implicitly. These should be
  used instead of explicit vendored or external versions.
• go_proto_library now supports the importmap attribute.

Notes

• The Bazel minimum version is now 0.10.0.
• We've gotten a number of error reports in builds where multiple packages
  with the same import path are linked into the same binary. This is especially
  common when libraries are in both external repositories and vendor directories.
  • The GoLink action will print a warning when this condition is detected.
    This will be an error in the future.
  • The importmap attribute can be used to disambiguate these cases. Newer
    versions of Gazelle will set importmap automatically for go_library
    and go_proto_library rules in vendor directories. This is similar to what
    the standard Go toolchain does.
