4.8.0

Highlights

We added support for one more language. This time we picked Go. As usually, this makes import statements clickable and let you discover dependencies with ease. Read on for details or check out the related PR #253

Core library imports

A standard library import like import "math/big" will reference to https://golang.org/pkg/math/big.

Relative imports

An import path beginning with ./ or ../ is treated as a relative path. OctoLinker tries to resolve the path and redirects you to the linked resource.

Remote imports

Last but not least, OctoLinker also supports hosting sites. For example import "github.com/foo/bar" will reference to https://github.com/foo/bar. The following hosting sites are supported:

• github.com
• bitbucket.org
• launchpad.net
• hub.jazz.net
• gopkg.in

Note, other remote import path like company.com/foo/bar aren't supported yet. If you want to get this implemented vote on the related issue #264.

Misc

• Fallback to storage.local if storage.sync isn't available #258

All Changes

4.6.0...4.7.0

v4.6.0

Highlights

We now have an options page that allows you to customize your OctoLinker experience. Let's kick off with the most important options. We added an option where you can specify whether a link should open in a new tab or not #216.

To increase the visibilty of the OctoLinker links we added another options which will add an indcator next to the line number if the line contains an OctoLinker link #217.

Another useful feature we think you'll like is PullRequest comment support. Like in the PullRequest file view, the code surrounded by a comment will be converted into links as well. It doesn't work for JSON files like package.json, because our parser requires a valid JSON representation #207.

Other improvements

• TypeScript – Link typings and types fields in package.json #204
• NodeJS – Resolve require('module') to https://nodejs.org/api/modules.html #206
• python – Try API docs before PyPI #210
