**Advanced Version Resolution**
Supports comprehensive version patterns:
- Comparison operators: `>=1.23.0`, `<1.24.0`
- Semantic versioning: `~1.23.0` (patch updates), `^1.23.0` (minor updates)
- Wildcards: `1.23.x`, `1.*`
**Intelligent Caching** **Intelligent Caching**
Cache keys now incorporate toolchain-specific metadata, eliminating version conflicts when switching between golang versions in your workflows. Cache keys now incorporate the `toolchain` directive version from `go.mod`, eliminating cache conflicts when switching between different toolchain versions within the same Go minor release.
