PKGSITE LIFTS QUERY LIMITS, EXPOSES MODULE TIMESTAMPS

By RepoJournal · Filed 06:01 UTC on May 10, 2026 · About Go

Go's package discovery API just got faster and more informative—hardcoded constraints are gone, and clients can now read version timestamps directly from module metadata.

The biggest change lands in the internal/api layer where a hardcoded limit on GetImportedBy queries is being removed [1], letting you actually fetch the full dependency graph without pagination walls. In the same pass, the /module/{path} endpoint now exposes commitTime in the v1beta spec [2], meaning you no longer need a separate call to the /versions endpoint to find when a module version was published—the timestamp comes straight from the module proxy. Search pagination tightened up too: the default limit dropped to 25 results [3] to align with frontend expectations and shave milliseconds off first-page load. The CLI tooling got its own fixes [4], ensuring the packages command actually prints results, and the codebase ran through go fix [5] to catch any lurking issues.
