Start preparing for Go Modules, today go1.11beta2 is out!

[jeevatkm]

Today go1.11beta2 is out! I have given a try, it looks promising and overall its stable (excluding corner cases and open issues).

I believe its time to start preparing for Go Modules and keeping existing Go capabilities intact 😄

Note: This enhancement might take place in multiple dev iteration, since it targets for go1.11 release.

Action Items:

• Remove concept of edge version, basically remove cmd aah switch. Since Go modules changed the way of organizing the Go source code
• Update aah CLI to support anywhere project creation and execution
• Remove cmd aah update Since Go modules changed the way of organizing the Go source code
• Update cmd aah list to work with Go modules
• Open up aah CLI and aah framework developments in parallel (already couple of items done in v0.11.0 release)
• Move following modules into mainline with git history intact and archive git repository for users.

Initial Note:

Keep an eye on Go versioning proposal outcomes, since it will change the way currently Go packages referred and distributed.

Currently it is not in priority list. Its early stage.
