v0.40.1 - 21 Dec, 2023

This is a point release to fix minor bugs. A comprehensive list of bug fixes and changes can be found in the milestone and the commit history.

We adjusted the extension activation behavior. The extension will not be activated until Go files are open or the extension's commands are invoked. (Issue 3038, and 2164)
The GOTOOLCHAIN environment variable is shown from the Go explorer view.

Pprof result viewer now works with the remote development setup. (Issue 3090).
Subtests that include regexp metacharacters in their names are now properly handled. (Issue 2624, 3070)
When the extension detects go installed by snap, it will use /snap/go/current/bin/go as the go command path to work around a bug in snapd. (Issue 166)
We enhanced the automated issue reporting feature to be robust in collecting gopls crash logs and handling transient errors during gopls upgrade. (Issue 984, 2690)
The extension now respects user's editor.parameterHints.enabled and shows parameter hints after completion only if it is enabled. (Issue 3071)
Ran npm audit fix and that updated semver and word-wrap dependencies. (CL 551055)
