Explicitly Default Version to '@latest' - v0.3.1

The switch to go install introduced a bug, as go install requires an explicit @version in order to trigger the newly-added download+compile feature, where as the existing go get silently defaulted to @latest when no version was given.

This release adds logic to explicitly default the version to @latest if no version tag is provided.

Use Go Install by Default - Allow Forcing Go Get - v0.3.0

As of go1.1.16, go install is considered the canonical way to download+compile+install packages, with the equivalent functionality of go get being deprecated and slated for eventual removal.

With this, bingo v0.3.0 moves to using go install by default.

If you're using a version of go prior to v1.16, you can instruct bingo to use go get:

install example using --useget option

$ bingo install --useget github.com/golang/example/hello

install example using BINGO_USE_GET variable

$ BINGO_USE_GET=1 bingo install github.com/golang/example/hello

NOTE: Both of these work for the bingo update command as well.

Updating Binaries

To update an installed binary, use the update command:

$ bingo update hello

NOTE: By default, the resulting package version will be determined by Go's version resolution rules.

Specifying Package Version

You can specify which version of a package to update to.

NOTE: The target version does not have to be newer than the existing version. i.e you can update to an older version of the package.
