The GoLand 2024.2 Early Access Program Has Started!
The Early Access Program for GoLand 2024.2 is now open! The release will be focused on stability and improving the current feature set, including remote development, performance, and support for the most recent Go language features.
The first EAP build can be downloaded via the Toolbox App, from our website, or as a snap package for Ubuntu. You can also get it from inside GoLand by selecting Check IDE updates for Early Access Program in Preferences / Settings | Appearance & Behavior | System Settings | Updates.
What’s new in GoLand 2024.2 EAP 1
- Go to Type and Go to Symbol in Search Everywhere now work while indexing, allowing you to jump to a line of code instantly as soon as the IDE has loaded.
- Due to some internal optimizations, highlighting and navigation now work better during the indexing process.
- We’ve added the Mark Directory as | Sources Root action. Now, users with mixed Go and Python repositories will enjoy a much smoother experience with correct namespaces resolving when using Python namespace packages.
GoLand includes many updates coming in WebStorm and DataGrip, as well as some neat features from IntelliJ IDEA. Check them out!
Early Access Program 101
If you’re not familiar with our Early Access Program, here’s a brief overview:
EAP builds let you try out the latest features and enhancements in GoLand while we continue working on them. These builds are not fully tested and might be unstable, but this is where you can help us. By taking these builds and their new features for a test drive in your real-world projects and scenarios, you can help us polish them. This way, when the final version is released, it will work smoothly for you.
- The EAP lets you be among the first to try out the newest features.
- EAP builds are free to use for 30 days from the build date. You can use this period as an extended trial of GoLand.
- We provide a series of EAP builds until a stable release is almost ready. For the upcoming 2024.2 version, the EAP period will last until the end of July.
- In each release cycle, we offer a free one-year GoLand subscription to the most active evaluators and users who helped us make GoLand better by sharing their product experience, feedback, and suggestions.
- Fresh builds come out almost every day. If you don’t want to wait for the official EAP build announcements, you can download our nightly builds, which are only available via the Toolbox App. Note that the nightly builds often do not meet the quality standards for official EAP builds, and they don’t come with release notes. Like EAP builds, they expire within 30 days of being released.
That’s it for now! Stay tuned for future updates!
