It provides more readable output and has additional APIs for using it inside a
unit test. goleak.IgnoreCurrent is needed to filter out the goroutine that gets
started when importing go.opencensus.io/stats/view.
In order to handle background goroutines that get created on demand and cannot
be stopped (like the one for LogzHealth), a helper function ensures that those
are running before calling goleak.IgnoreCurrent. Keeping those goroutines
running is not a problem and thus not worth the effort of adding new APIs to
stop them.
Other goroutines are genuine leaks for which no fix is available. Those get
suppressed via IgnoreTopFunction, which works as long as that function
is unique enough.
Example output for the leak fixed in https://github.com/kubernetes/kubernetes/pull/115423:

This replaces the experimental logr v0.4 with the stable v1.1.0
release. This is a breaking API change for some users because:
- Comparing logr.Logger against nil is not possible anymore:
it's now a struct instead of an interface. Code which
allows a nil logger should switch to *logr.Logger as type.
- Logger implementations must be updated in lockstep.
Instead of updating the forked zapr code in json.go, directly using
the original go-logr/zapr is simpler and avoids duplication of effort.
The updated zapr supports logging of numeric verbosity. Error messages
don't have a verbosity (= always get logged), so "v" is not getting
added to them anymore.
Source code logging for panic messages got fixed so that it references
the code with the invalid log call, not the json.go implementation.
Finally, zapr includes additional information in its panic
messages ("zap field", "ignored key", "invalid key").
