v3.8.0

It's time for another gomplate release, and this time we have a good number of bug fixes, new functions, and updated dependencies.

Thanks to @surki and @jen20 for their contributions to this release!

Of particular note is the new experimental mode which you can use to try out some new functionality that isn't ready to be "locked in" just yet.

In particular, there are now some new RSA Encryption/Decryption functions, including crypto.RSAGenerateKey, which gives you a way to quickly generate an RSA encryption key pair! The reason these are experimental is because I'm not sure about the UX yet, and the function names may change in a future release.

Be sure to check out the multi-platform Docker images available at hairyhenderson/gomplate.

If you've gained value out of gomplate and want to find a way to encourage development, please consider sponsoring me!
