- Update to 1.4.2:
* Don't require a docstring for empty modules. Closes issue #261.
* Fix a false positive with `too-few-format-args` string warning,
emitted when the string format contained a normal positional
argument ('{0}'), mixed with a positional argument which did
an attribute access ('{0.__class__}').
Closes issue #463.
* Take in account all the methods from the ancestors
when checking for too-few-public-methods. Closes issue #471.
* Catch enchant errors and emit 'invalid-characters-in-docstring'
when checking for spelling errors. Closes issue #469.
* Use all the inferred statements for the super-init-not-called
check. Closes issue #389.
* Add a new warning, 'unichr-builtin', emitted by the Python 3
porting checker, when the unichr builtin is found. Closes issue #472.
* Add a new warning, 'intern-builtin', emitted by the Python 3
porting checker, when the intern builtin is found. Closes issue #473.
* Add support for editable installations.
* The HTML output accepts the `--msg-template` option. Patch by
Dan Goldsmith.
* Add 'map-builtin-not-iterating' (replacing 'implicit-map-evaluation'),
'zip-builtin-not-iterating', 'range-builtin-not-iterating', and
'filter-builtin-not-iterating' which are emitted by `--py3k` when the
appropriate built-in is not used in an iterating context (semantics
taken from 2to3).
* Add a new warning, 'unidiomatic-typecheck', emitted when an explicit
typecheck uses type() instead of isinstance(). For example,
`type(x) == Y` instead of `isinstance(x, Y)`. Patch by Chris Rebert.
Closes issue #299.
* Add support for combining the Python 3 checker mode with the --jobs
