Take a look at the [Changelog](CHANGELOG.md) to learn about new features.
-> This is the **new** home for the VS Code Go extension. We just migrated from [Microsoft/vscode-go](https://github.com/Microsoft/vscode-go). Learn more about our move on the [Go blog](https://blog.golang.org/vscode-go).
+> 📣 We plan to enable the language server ([`gopls`](docs/gopls.md)) by default in early 2021. The language server

+> Please [file a new issue](https://github.com/golang/vscode-go/issues/new/choose) if you notice bugs or missing features.
