v0.27.0 - 9 Aug, 2021

📣 Delve's native DAP implementation (dlv-dap) is enabled by default for local debugging. We updated the Documentation for Debugging to show the new features available with dlv-dap. This change does not apply to remote debugging yet. For remote debugging, keep following the instruction in the legacy debug adapter documentation.

A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.27.0 milestone and [commit history](A list of all issues and changes can be found in the v0.26.0 milestone and commit history.

Enhancements

• The new go.terminal.activateEnvironment allows to prevent the extension from changing integrated terminal's environment variables. (Issue 1558, 1098)
• The Go: Locate Configured Go Tools command prints the build information of detected tools.
• Use dlv-dap as the default debug adapter for local debugging. The new debug adapter offers many new features and improvements.
• Added Gitpod to a recognized Cloud-based IDE, for which the extension will minimize the number of toast or notification messages. (Issue 1616)
• The Go: Subtest At Cursor command prompts for subtest name if there is no subtest at cursor (Issue 1602).

Fixes

• Debugging
  • Setting the logOutput property without showLog: true does not break debugging any more.
  • Fixed a bug in the legacy debug adapter that caused jumping at each step after upgrading to VS Code 1.58+. (Issue 1617, 1647)
  • Fixed a bug that broke Attach mode debugging using the legacy debug adapter if cwd is not set. (Issue 1608)
  • Made the dlv-dap mode ignore the port property. It was initially suggested as a temporary alternative
    to the remote debugging, but we decided to revisit the functionality for better remote debugging support.
    Use the debugServer property if you want to connect to a manually launched dlv dap server.

Code Health

• The version of dlv-dap is pinned to v1.7.1-0.20210804080032-f95340ae1bf9 and dlv-dap is marked as a required tool.
• Updated the hard-coded default gopls version string to v0.7.1.
• Added tools/relnotes, a script to help generate CHANGELOG.md.
• Added go1.17 RC to CI. (Issue 1640)
• Enabled tests that were skipped in dlv-dap mode since dlv-dap reached feature parity.
• Use StackOverflow as the channel for Q&A.
