v0.38.1

Bug fixes

The go_googleapis upgrade in 0.38.0 is too disruptive. It changes the Go import paths of the proto packages, causing build failures in repos trying to upgrade to rules_go 0.38.0. Reverting the go_googleapis to the master of 2022-12-05 (#3432) for now to make rules_go upgrades easier.

v0.38.0

Breaking changes

Starting this release, rules_go requires Bazel 5.3 and golang/x/tools at least 0.3.0. If you are using stardoc, you also need to upgrade it to 0.5.3 to recognize RunEnvironmentInfo, which is used in this release.

Major new features

This is the first release to support Go 1.20. When on this version of Go, it is highly recommended to use Bazel 6 and set --experimental_output_directory_naming_scheme=diff_against_baseline to prevent certain unnecessary rebuilds.

v0.36.0

Major new features

• The Go runfiles library developed by @phst at https://github.com/phst/runfiles is now available as github.com/bazelbuild/rules_go/go/runfiles (target @io_bazel_rules_go//go/runfiles) and is now the official way to look up runfiles from Go. It will be made compatible with Bzlmod in a future release.
  Note: For improved consistency with runfiles libraries in other languages, the Path function present in https://github.com/phst/runfiles is called Rlocation in rules_go.
• Adding two new command line flags --@io_bazel_rules_go//go/config:gc_goopts and --@io_bazel_rules_go//go/config:gc_linkopts to accept additional compiler and linker flags.

Breaking changes

• cover has been removed in v0.32.0. Please leave a comment if you are affected by this.

Deprecations

• The asm, compile, and pack action generators provided by go_context are deprecated and planned for removal in version v0.36.0. Please leave a comment on the tracking bug if archive and link are not suitable replacements for your use cases.

Bug Fixes

• @sluongng fixed a race condition that could cause non-sandboxed builds of go_test targets to fail (#3145)
• @abhinav made //go:embed work with go_path (#3163)
• @xytan0056 made gopackagesdriver work with Go 1.18 (#3157)
• @nickgooding ensured that gomock can be used with any Gazelle naming convention (#3155)
• go_library targets using CGo can now reference unresolved symbols (#3174)

Thanks to all of the contributors!

Compatibility

The minimum required version of Bazel remains at 4.2.1.

Updated dependencies

• Updated org_golang_x_sys, org_golang_x_xerrors, org_golang_google_genproto, go_googleapis to their most recent commit as of 2022-06-05

As always, you can use higher versions of rules_go's dependencies by declaring them in WORKSPACE before calling go_rules_dependencies. Lower versions may work but are not supported.
