v0.26.0

Changes

• //go:embed directives are supported in Go 1.16. Patterns are matched against both static and generated files, including directory artifacts. Embeddable files must be listed in the new embedsrcs attribute. Gazelle v0.23.0 will generate these attributes automatically.
• go_binary now provides CcInfo in the c-archive and c-shared link modes. This should let cc_library and other rules reference these targets through deps directly. Thanks @steeve.
• TEST_TMPDIR is no longer set to TMPDIR in tests. Thanks @mikedanese.
• Several small improvements in error and diagnostic output.

Compatibility

• Bazel 3.5.0 is now required. The previous minimum version was 3.4.0.

Updated dependencies

As always, you can use higher versions of rules_go's dependencies by declaring them in WORKSPACE before calling go_rules_dependencies. Lower versions may work but are not supported.
