New release (v1.43.0) ?

[natefinch]

I'd love to get --whole-files into a release so I can use it more easily, and it seems like there hasn't been a release in almost a month... maybe now's a good time? :) 🙏🏻

Hello,

Usually, we recreate a release when there are enough features (not really based on time).

I will check the changelog.

The current changelog (v1.42.1..master):

• Add tenv linter
• Add nilnil linter
• new-linter: ireturn (checks for function return type)
• new-from-rev: add support for finding issues in entire files in a diff
• nlreturn: add block-size option
• gci: Parse the settings more similarly to the cli
• errcheck: update to HEAD
• bump github.com/tetafro/godot from 1.4.9 to 1.4.10
• bump github.com/Antonboom/errname from 0.1.4 to 0.1.5
• bump github.com/tetafro/godot from 1.4.10 to 1.4.11
• bump github.com/kunwardeep/paralleltest from 1.0.2 to 1.0.3
• bump github.com/butuzov/ireturn from 0.1.0 to 0.1.1

In summary: 3 new linters, 6 linters patch, 2 small features

@ldez Picking up this thread again. Looking at the changelog, there are 3 new linters still, but looks like upwards of 30 dependency upgrades since the last release. This looks somewhat on par with the amount of change that triggered the last two releases:

v1.40.1...v1.41.0
v1.41.1...v1.42.0

VERSUS

v1.42.1...master

What's your typical threshold for feature improvement to qualify for a release?

For my part, I'm particularly interested in the Ruleguard updates introduced here

Thanks!
-Tim

Hi @ldez , thank you for that information. Since you make release decisions based on added features, not timing as you stated, I'm wondering how this list compares to the other releases that you've made in the past. Is it enough to warrant a new release? Or will you be waiting for more features to be added before proceeding?

I'm not sure if this matters or not, but the documentation site is already advertising the new release without it being available.

FWIW, I would also appreciate a new release. My tests run against several versions of go and they've been failing against tip.

18.04s$ golangci-lint run
dynamictls.go:21:2: could not import sync/atomic (-: could not load export data: cannot import "sync/atomic" (unknown iexport format version 2), export data is newer version - update tool) (typecheck)
	"sync/atomic"
	^
The command "golangci-lint run" exited with 1.

I've tracked it down to needing an update to golang.org/x/tools, which is already in master.
