Release notes

Go style: improved code folding style

GoLand introduces new options for code folding. You can set the following folding options:

• One-line 'if' blocks with a single 'return'

• One-line 'if' blocks with a single 'panic'

• One-line 'if' blocks for error handling

• One-line functions with a single 'return'

• One-line case clauses

• Formatted strings

For more information about code folding options, refer to Code Folding.

Navigation: file contents in the Structure view

The Structure tool window is a tool that gives you an overview of your project code layout. However, in large projects, some files in the package might have many fields and methods spread across multiple files.

Before, if you had methods for a structure declared in another file, you'd see the whole type with all its properties and methods. Now, in GoLand, you only see the methods in the current file.

Quick-fix: create a function in another package

GoLand has a quick-fix that allows you to type a function name and then implement it in a package of your choosing. Place the caret on a function name, press Alt+Enter to see all available fixes and select Create function ‘function name’.

In the pop-up window that appears, you will choose the target for the function. You can enter the name of an existing file or offer an unused name, in which case a new file will be created from scratch.

Quick documentation: show parameter information for slice expressions

Slice expressions can be a bit confusing, especially ones with three indices. GoLand shows you hints while you’re building slices.

Code editing: mark Printf-like functions as string formatting functions

GoLand provides a feature that identifies Printf-like functions and applies corresponding coding assistance to them (for example, inspections, quick-fixes, spellchecking, highlighting, code folding, and so on).

For more information about formatting strings functionality, refer to Formatting strings.

Support of asdf

GoLand supports asdf local and asdf global commands, including specifying multiple versions (for example, asdf local golang 1.21.0 1.20.8).

For more information about asdf, refer to Using asdf.
