    🐛 BUG FIXES:

    • ✅ Create quickfix list correctly when tests timeout. [GH-1633]
    • ✅ Apply g:go_test_timeout when running :GoTestFunc. [GH-1631]
    • The user's configured g:go_doc_url variable wasn't working correctly in the case when the "gogetdoc" command isn't installed. [GH-1629]
    • Highlight format specifiers with an index (e.g. %[2]d). [GH-1634]
    • ✅ Respect g:go_test_show_name change for :GoTest when it changes during a Vim session. [GH-1641]
    • ✅ Show g:go_test_show_name value for :GoTest failures if it's available. [GH-1641]
    • 👕 Make sure linter errors for the file being saved are shown in vim74 and nvim. [GH-1640]
    • 👕 Make sure only linter errors for the file being saved are shown in vim8. Previously, all linter errors for all files in the current file's directory were being shown. [GH-1640]
    • 👕 Make sure gometalinter is run on the given directories when arguments are given to :GoMetaLinter. [GH-1640]
    • 👕 Do not run disabled linters with gometalinter. [GH-1648]
    • 👕 Do not prompt user to press enter after when gometalinter is called in autosave mode. [GH-1654]
    • 🛠 Fix potential race conditions when using vim8 jobs. [GH-1656]

    BACKWARDS INCOMPATIBILITIES:

    • 🛠 Highlighting function and method declarations/calls is fixed. To fix it we had to remove the meaning of the previous settings. The following setting is removed:

      • go_highlight_methods

    in favor of the following settings and changes:

    • go_highlight_functions: This highlights now all function and method declarations (whereas previously it would also highlight function and method calls, not anymore)
    • go_highlight_function_calls: This higlights now all all function and method calls. [GH-1557]
      • 👕 Rename gg:go_metalinter_excludes to g:go_metalinter_disabled. [GH-1648]
      • :GoBuild doesn't append the -i flag anymore due the recent Go 1.10 changes that introduced a build cache. [GH-1701]
