This is a small release containing bugfixes and minor improvements for Go 1.18 feature support.

New Features

Fuzz target inference

Gopls will now infer the type of Fuzz targets from preceding testing.F.Add statements.

Generic completion improvements

This release includes several improvements to auto-completion of generic code. For example, completion of type or function instantiation now prefers types that are in terms of the constraint type set.

Thanks @muirdm for these contributions.

Bugfixes

The timing of this release is primarily driven by golang/vscode-go#2121, a panic when go.work files are missing a go directive. We received enough reports of this crash to know that it was affecting a significant number of users. Thanks to all those who reported issues - your diligence helps us make gopls better!

A full list of all issues fixed can be found in the gopls/v0.8.2 milestone. To report a new problem, please file a new issue at https://go.dev/issues/new.

Thank you to our contributors!
