This release is based on Go 1.25's gofmt, and requires Go 1.24 or later.
A new rule is introduced to "clothe" naked returns for the sake of clarity. While there is nothing wrong with naming results in function signatures, using lone return statements can be confusing to the reader.
Go 1.25's ignore directives in go.mod files are now obeyed; any directories within the module matching any of the patterns are now omitted when walking directories, such as with gofumpt -w ..
Module information is now loaded via Go's x/mod/modfile package rather than executing go mod edit -json, which is way faster. This should result in moderate speed-ups when formatting many directories.
Binaries built on go version go1.25.0 linux/amd64 with:
CGO_ENABLED=0 go build -trimpath -ldflags="-w -s"
