About

This project is intended to process information about release versions of Go from the following API:

https://storage.googleapis.com/golang/

In general it's best to build and run the latest official release of Go as it may contain security fixes. The intent of this project is two parts:

• Provide an easy API for accessing releases.
• Wrap these APIs in a binary that can be used as part of a build process.

Usage

Command Line

$ go get github.com/opalmer/check-go-version

Caching

Note, this project provides a local cache of the response retrieved from the bucket that's updated if the last query was > 30 minutes go. This can behavior can be changed however by modifying one of the BucketCache* variables in the api package.
