GoLand 2019.2.1 is Out!

Posted on August 22, 2019 by Ekaterina Zharova

We have just released a new, fresher version of GoLand 2019.2 – the 2019.2.1 bug-fix update.

Try it via the Toolbox App, update from 2019.2 by clicking Help | Check for Updates, or just download a copy from our website.

Download GoLand 2019.2.1

This update addresses the following issues:

GO-6994, GO-7787 — GoLand now always optimizes imports after you apply the Move refactoring. The Refactoring Preview pane allows you to check if the generated file is going to be changed by optimizing or sorting, and to discard the change if anything goes wrong.

GO-7789 — A glitch affecting the Sync packages quick-fix has been fixed. Now it doesn’t highlight a dependency as an error after it’s downloaded in projects that use the Go Modules integration with the Vendoring mode enabled.

JBR-1624, JBR-1645 — Fixed the broken Fira Code fonts rendering.

GO-7593 — The Create field quick-fix doesn’t move lines with comments anymore.

GO-7741 — Code Completion inserts the correct type of brackets for structs.

GO-7752 — GoLand’s code formatter aligns type definitions in the right way.

GO-7808 — Code Completion is more precise.

GO-7852 — SQL injection works as expected.

GO-7824, GO-7871 — Change Signature doesn’t generate non-existing types, works well with replacing single result parameter, and adds default value in newly generated return.

What’s next: GoLand 2019.3 roadmap

Posted on August 15, 2019 by Ekaterina Zharova

Three weeks ago we released GoLand 2019.2 with function calls support in the debugger, enhanced color schemes, customizable Postfix Completion templates, smarter Go Modules and dep integration, quick-fixes based on the Change Signature refactoring, and many other new code editing features. We also added support for Shell scripts and Kustomize for Kubernetes, as well as support for the new features of Go 1.13.

If you haven’t checked out these new features yet, visit our what’s new page for the detailed description, GIFs, and screenshots.

We would like to say THANK YOU to the people who help us further improve GoLand by sharing their product experience, feedback, and suggestions with us.

The most active evaluators are getting a free 1-year subscription for GoLand and a special edition of our branded T-shirt!

Meet these wonderful folks:

  • Sergey Savenko (YouTrack username: deadok22)
  • Max Neverov (YouTrack username: nmax)
  • Denis Cheremisov (YouTrack username: sirkon)
  • Andrey Sokolov (YouTrack username: falconandy)
  • Gabriel Nelle (YouTrack username: nelle)
  • Mike Schinkel (YouTrack username: mikeschinkel)

GoLand 2019.3 Roadmap

Please note we don’t guarantee that all of the features below will be included in GoLand 2019.3.

Long story short, the GoLand 2019.3 update will be a little different from our previous releases. We realized that since GoLand’s first release, when it turned from a plugin for IntelliJ IDEA into an independent IDE, we’ve been adding more and more new features and extending the existing functionality in many different ways. Now it’s time to exhale and look around.

For this release period, our primary task is to fight bugs, glitches, unexpected behavior, and eliminate anything confusing. We believe that GoLand should bring you, our users, only pleasant experience and be your trustworthy helpmate in the Go world.

However, we couldn’t resist but add something new. Let’s have a look at our plans!

Say Hello to GoLand 2019.2!

Posted on July 25, 2019 by Ekaterina Zharova

GoLand 2019.2 has enhanced its debugger in several ways: now it supports function calls during the debugging session, and displays the result of simple String(), Error(), and DebugString() method implementations in the Variables pane. In other big improvements, the Default & Darcula color schemes are polished, customizable Postfix Completion templates are available, and smarter Go Modules and dep integration are here too.

On top of that, we’ve added support for the new features introduced in Go 1.13, various quick-fixes based on the Change Signature refactoring, and many new code editing features. Support for Shell scripts and Kustomize for Kubernetes is available, and last but not least, the Extract Method refactoring can now handle code with return statements.

However, that’s not all we’ve added! Read on for highlights in this blog post, or go to the What’s New page to learn more about what we’ve done with screenshots and GIFs.

Posted on July 11, 2019 by Ekaterina Zharova

The upcoming GoLand 2019.2 has reached the Beta milestone today! This means that we’ve stopped adding new features for this release cycle, and are now focusing on polishing everything that’s destined for the release build. The Beta is quite stable in comparison to our Early Access Program builds, but it may still contain some clumsiness.

There’s enough time to smooth out any rough edges though, so if anything rubs you the wrong way, do speak up! We want to hear about your experience. Even if you don’t come across any bugs or difficulties, we’re happy to chat about whatever or just say hello. Write something in our YouTrack, tweet us, or ping us right here in the comments.

GoLand 2019.2 EAP 4: .aappend Postfix Template, Clever Go Modules & dep integration, and improved debugger

Posted on June 19, 2019 by Ekaterina Zharova

Download GoLand 2019.2 EAP 4

We love hearing from you! Try this EAP build out and let us know what you think!

Insightful Go Modules & dep Integration

We not only care about filling GoLand with features but we also think that we should help you to spend less time configuring your project or investigating problems around this.

Previously, when you first opened a project that used Go Modules or dep, GoLand disabled GOPATH indexing and showed a notification about enabling Go Modules/dep integration.

In these cases, you could have potentially missed or ignored the notification, and then got the project in a semi-configured state: GOPATH indexing is disabled, Go Modules/dep integration is not enabled.

Now GoLand enables integration automatically. You can always disable the integration manually in Preferences | Go | Go Modules (vgo), if you ever need to.

GoLand 2019.2 EAP #3: Improved Default & Darcula Color Schemes, Quick-fixes Based on Change Signature, and More

Posted on June 14, 2019 by Ekaterina Zharova

They say Friday is a bad day to announce anything, but we have GoLand 2019.2 EAP #3 ready for you to try, so why wait? Give it a shot and preview cool things like new quick-fixes based on the Change Signature refactoring, fresh Default and Darcula color schemes, and even better presentation of data in the debugger. And then let us know what you think!

Download GoLand 2019.2 EAP 3

As usual, you can get this new EAP build via the Toolbox App, from the website, or as a snap package (for Linux). Or update right in GoLand – select Automatically check updates for Early Access Program in Preferences / Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Updates.

Improved Default & Darcula color schemes

We’re hearing what you’re saying and we see your votes in the bug tracker! The Default and Darcula color schemes available under Preferences | Editor | Color Scheme are adding variety. They are already looking neater (we’ve removed bold!) to help you read, write, and change code faster and more comfortably.

To help you easily tell apart things that look similar semantically, we’re making them look a little different. This includes things such as package names vs variables, built-in code constructions vs your own ones, and type conversions vs function calls. On top of that, methods’ receivers and functions/function calls now have their own colors, too.
