Changes in this release
This release updates the golang.org/x/telemetry dependency to pick up fixes for the following bugs:
- golang/go#68946: unnecessary downloading of the golang.org/x/telemetry/config module
- golang/go#68358: a potential crash on Windows when the telemetry counter file is extended
- golang/go#68311: a potential hanging process if the telemetry file is truncated
Additionally, this release changes the gopls/telemetryprompt/accepted counter to be recorded each time the prompt state is checked (golang/go#68770).
None of these issues were particularly urgent, but we also wanted to make a gopls release to exercise our recently added release automation (golang/go#57643).
Future improvements
Between release automation, opt-in telemetry with crash reporting, the new VS Code prerelease extension, and toolchain upgrades, we're now able to iterate on gopls faster and significantly more safely than we could in the past. Stay tuned for new features in prereleases of gopls@v0.17.0 starting later this month.
