Two major versions of fsnotify exist.
fsnotify.v0 is API-compatible with howeyc/fsnotify. Bugfixes may be backported, but I recommend upgrading to v1.
import "gopkg.in/fsnotify.v0"* Refer to the package as fsnotify (without the .v0 suffix).
fsnotify.v1 provides a new API based on this design document. You can import v1 with:
import "gopkg.in/fsnotify.v1"Further API changes are planned, but a new major revision will be tagged, so you can depend on the v1 API.
master may have untagged changes. Use it to test the very latest code, but don't expect it to remain API-compatible:
import "github.com/go-fsnotify/fsnotify"- Send questions to golang-dev@googlegroups.com.
- Request features and report bugs using the GitHub Issue Tracker. Please indicate the platform you are running on.
fsnotify is derived from code in the golang.org/x/exp package and it may be included in the standard library in the future. Therefore fsnotify carries the same LICENSE as Go.
