▶ Recommended/tested CDT version: 8.4.0

Goclipse 0.9.0

• Added: A simplified project builder that delegates to the go install command all the build work. (fixes #64)
  • This should improve compilation speed, since Goclipse no longer tries to figure out package dependencies itself. (and is likely more robust)

  • Note: with such projects, the project location will not be implicitly added to the GOPATH entries, as the project is part of the GOPATH already.
• Added: Project Explorer UI improvements:
  • GOROOT entry in now sorted at the top, and has own icon.
  • GOPATH entries have a location sub-label.
  • GOPATH entry no longer shown if that entry location is the same as the project location.

  • Added display of an error dialog when gocode Content Assist fails.
  • Set timeout of 5 seconds for gocode process invocation during Content Assist.
  • Fixed: Provide correct GOPATH 'lib-path' argument to gocode.
• Removed "RELEASE/DEBUG" config option from launch configuration, since it didn't actually do anything.
• Fixed: bug in Go Project Wizard where using "Create project from existing source" would make the finish button not work.

  • For more info on new CDT debug features, see: https://wiki.eclipse.org/CDT/User/NewIn84#Debug

• Changed Goclipse to be more lenient with CDT versions: it can now be installed with any CDT version except with major version changes. However each DDT release will still have a preferred CDT "major.minor" version, that has been tested against Goclipse. Using a version other than the recommended one is not guaranteed to work correctly.
  • Current recommended CDT version is 8.4.

• Added build console preference page.
