Features
Shadow analyzer
This off-by-default analyzer flags shadowed variables. Learn more in the Analyzers documentation.
Experimental
New keys for the GC details "annotations" setting
The previous keys were prefixed with "no" and meant to disable certain GC details checks, which was inconsistent with the style of our other settings maps. A warning will appear suggesting a change to the new key name, but the old settings will continue to work. Full details can be found in the annotations documentation.
Documentation
Improved documentation for available analyzers.
Improved documentation for Vim.
Fixes
Editing the go.mod file by hand (golang/go#42529)
This issue was previously marked as resolved, but it had not actually been fixed. Package metadata will now only be invalidated when a go.mod file is saved, so you will need to save before expecting your changes to be propagated. This should significantly reduce the number of go list calls (and therefore CPU utilization) as you edit the go.mod file.
A full list of all issues fixed can be found in the gopls/v0.6.2 milestone. To report a new problem, please file a new issue at https://golang.org/issues/new.
