Release notes

GoLand 2025.3 RC is now available!

This release candidate brings several important updates, including a new inspection for detecting resource leaks, built-in Terraform support, improvements for working with single files, and enhanced formatting capabilities through golangci-lint.

  • GO-19304: GoLand now includes a local inspection that detects resource leaks, such as files or network connections that have not been closed properly. The IDE highlights risky code and offers suggestions to help you release resources safely.
  • GO-19309: the Terraform plugin is now bundled with GoLand and enabled by default. You can open .tf files and use syntax highlighting, code completion, navigation, formatting, and other essential Terraform features right away.
  • GO-19031, GO-19338: you can now open and edit single files without creating a project. This is useful for quick edits, code reviews, or trying out ideas. Drag files into the IDE, open them from the Welcome screen, double-click them in your file manager, or use the terminal command for your operating system.
  • GO-19492, GO-19032: GoLand adds support for golangci-lint fmt, a new formatting command introduced in version 2 of the tool. You can now format code on save using your chosen formatter or a combination of formatters managed through golangci-lint. This removes the need for separate file watchers and helps maintain consistent code style.
  • GO-4128: a new inspection detects redundant else statements that follow if blocks ending in a termination operation such as return, panic, os.Exit, or testing functions like Fatal, Skip, and others.
  • GO-10941: GoLand now supports folding for directive blocks in go.mod files. You can collapse or expand sections such as require, replace, exclude, retract, use, godebug, tool, and ignore. All directives are expanded by default, and standard folding shortcuts apply.
  • Performance improvements: this release includes several updates aimed at improving stability and responsiveness. The IDE now shows fewer low-memory warnings, performs smarter indexing for large projects, and benefits from platform-level performance upgrades.
  • Multi-agent AI support: Claude Agent is now natively integrated into GoLand alongside Junie. Both agents are available in the same chat interface, allowing you to choose the best assistant for your task and switch between them as needed.

This build also includes minor updates and bug fixes. For the full list of improvements, see the release notes.
