On January 26, 2025, we released goenvecho v1.1.0, a streamlined update that aligns the project with Go module best practices while maintaining full backward compatibility for container and API users.

This minimal release focuses on improving the project’s long-term maintainability by updating the Go module path to include its full GitHub repository location. For the vast majority of users—those running goenvecho as a Docker container or consuming its HTTP API—this release requires no action and delivers the same reliable functionality you’ve come to expect.

What’s New

Go Module Path Update

The primary change in v1.1.0 is the update to the Go module path:

// Old import path (v1.0.1 and earlier)
import "goenvecho"

// New import path (v1.1.0+)
import "github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/goenvecho"

This change follows Go community best practices by using the full repository path as the module identifier, making dependency management clearer and more consistent for library consumers.

What Stayed the Same

The core functionality of goenvecho remains completely unchanged:

  • Docker containers continue to work identically—no action required
  • HTTP API behavior is unchanged: GET / still returns all environment variables as JSON
  • Configuration options including the PORT environment variable work exactly as before
  • No new features or bug fixes—this is purely a module structure update

Why It Matters

For Go developers using goenvecho as a library dependency, this change provides:

  • Better dependency resolution: Using the full repository path eliminates ambiguity in module resolution
  • Long-term stability: This naming convention aligns with Go’s official recommendations for module paths
  • Clearer provenance: The import path now clearly identifies the source repository

For Docker users and API consumers, this release means nothing has changed—your deployments continue to work exactly as before.

Upgrade Guide

Docker Users (No Action Required)

If you’re running goenvecho as a container, you don’t need to do anything:

# Continue using your existing setup
docker pull ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/goenvecho:v1.1.0
docker run -p 8080:8080 ghcr.io/unitvectory-labs/goenvecho:v1.1.0

Go Module Users (Action Required)

If you import goenvecho as a Go library dependency, update your imports:

# Get the new version
go get github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/goenvecho@v1.1.0

# Update your import statements in code
# FROM: import "goenvecho"
# TO:   import "github.com/UnitVectorY-Labs/goenvecho"

Security Reminder

As always, remember that goenvecho is designed as a development and debugging tool. The application explicitly exposes all environment variables in its response—do not run this in production environments where sensitive credentials or secrets might be present in your environment.
