RC1 is available for testing.

@polinasok @suzmue

• please check if the debug feature mentioned in https://golang.org/cl/370876 are working as expected?
• please check if hideSystemGoroutines default is false.
• do you want to mention the new Disassembly View feature or want to polish more?

@pjweinb

• can you please help testing if template support works with RC1?
  Settings (templatesExtensions) will complain until we submit CL370878 but gopls will still receive the setting.
  If it works, I think it's worth mentioning in our release note too.

@findleyr

• Is there any notable change in gopls to be mentioned in the release note? Otherwise, we can simply link to gopls release page.

Thanks!
