gommons

gommons is an opinionated collection of common Go libraries and utilities for building applications the pragmatic way. The name is a play on Go and commons—because every project eventually grows the same set of well-tested building blocks.

Versioning

gommons does not follow Semantic Versioning (SemVer). Instead, releases use a date-based versioning scheme:

YYYY.MM.N

Where:

• YYYY — four-digit release year
• MM — two-digit release month
• N — incremental release number within that month

For example:

2026.07.1
2026.07.2
2026.08.1

This scheme reflects the project's release cadence rather than attempting to encode compatibility guarantees into the version number. Breaking changes, new features, and bug fixes are documented in the release notes, making each release self-describing without relying on SemVer semantics.
