What's New in v1.7.1

This release adds two highly-requested features to improve the gotests experience.

New Features

🧪 go-cmp Support (-use_go_cmp)

Generate tests using google/go-cmp instead of reflect.DeepEqual for better test assertions and diff output.

$ gotests -use_go_cmp -all -w example.go

Generated tests will use cmp.Equal() for comparisons and cmp.Diff() in error messages, providing much clearer output when tests fail.

Example output:

if !cmp.Equal(tt.want, got) {
    t.Errorf("Foo() = %v, want %v\ndiff=%s", got, tt.want, cmp.Diff(tt.want, got))
}

Resolves #155 (thanks to @butuzov for the original PR!)
