Slack API in Go

This library supports most if not all of the api.slack.com REST calls, as well as the Real-Time Messaging protocol over websocket, in a fully managed way.

Change log

v0.1.0 - May 28, 2017

This is released before adding context support. As the used context package is the one from Go 1.7 this will be the last compatible with Go < 1.7.

Please check 0.1.0
