bazelbuild/rules_go 0.12.0

on GitHub

New features

• Go 1.10.2 and 1.9.6 are now supported.
• Preliminary support for Objective C code in cgo srcs and cdeps.
  objc = True must be set in go_library to use this. It will only
  work on macOS, since it requires an Apple toolchain.
• go_binary and go_test once again support importpath attributes. These
  targets are not importable, but go_path and other rules can use these to
  place source files in appropriate directories.
• Build ids are no longer written into compiled standard library packages. This
  improve reproducibility.

Notes

• Some important bug fixes have landed in Gazelle around proto dependency
  resolution. rules_go declares a @bazel_gazelle repository with these fixes,
  but this will be removed in the future. You should declare @bazel_gazelle
  explicitly in your WORKSPACE (see
  Running Gazelle with Bazel
  for setup instructions).
• Several deprecated features are removed in this release.
  • The library attribute is removed in favor of embed.
  • The linkstamp attribute is removed in favor of x_defs.
  • The go_sdk and go_repositories rules are removed in favor of
    go_rules_dependencies, go_register_toolchains and related functions.
  • cgo_library and cgo_genrule are removed in favor of go_library.
  • The legacy proto rules in proto/go_proto_library.bzl are removed in favor
    of the new proto rules in proto/def.bzl.
• Several more features are deprecated and scheduled for removal in the next
  release. See Deprecation schedule for more information.
  • Go 1.8 will no longer be supported.
  • go_prefix will be removed in favor of importpath attributes.
  • The legacy go_repository and new_go_repository will be removed in favor
    of the
    equivalent rule
    in the Gazelle repository.
