- Update to version 2.15.0
* In pylint 2.15.0, we added a new check missing-timeout to warn
of default timeout values that could cause a program to be
hanging indefinitely.
* We improved pylint's handling of namespace packages. More
packages should be linted without resorting to using the
--recursive=y option.
- Release highlights from 2.14
* With 2.14 pylint only supports Python version 3.7.2 and above.
* We introduced several new checks among which duplicate-value
for sets, comparison-of-constants, and checks related to
lambdas. We removed no-init and made no-self-use optional as
they were too opinionated. We also added an option to generate
a toml configuration: --generate-toml-config.
* We migrated to argparse from optparse and refactored the
configuration handling thanks to Daniël van Noord. On the user
side it should change the output of the --help command, and
some inconsistencies and bugs should disappear. The behavior
between options set in a config file versus on the command line
will be more consistent. For us, it will permit to maintain
this part of the code easily in the future and anticipate
optparse's removal in Python 3.12.
* As a result of the refactor there are a lot of internal
deprecations. If you're a library maintainer that depends on
pylint, please verify that you're ready for pylint 3.0 by
activating deprecation warnings.
* We continued the integration of pylint-error and are now at
33%!. We still welcome any community effort to help review,
integrate, and add good/bad examples
`_. This should be
doable without any pylint or astroid knowledge, so this is the
perfect entrypoint if you want to contribute to pylint or open
source without any experience with our code!
- Release highlights from 2.13
* In 2.13, we introduced a new check to deal with unicode
security issues. On top of that a lot of work was done inside
the unicode checker by @CarliJoy. We also introduced a new
check when importing private name and for unnecessary ellipsis
among other.
* We fixed long standing issues related to duplicate code that
could not be disabled, line numbers that were not accurate some
of the time, and added the ability to lint all files in a
directory without specifying each one. One of the most
anticipated issue from the repository. Thank you @matusvalo !
* A lot of undefined-variables and used-before-assignment issues
were resolved thanks to @jacobtylerwalls.
* We started integrating pylint-error the documentation created
by @vald-phoenix a developer from Hlyniane, Ukraine. We hope
he's doing well despite the current situation. The deployment
is set up but there's still a lot to do so we welcome any
community effort help to review, integrate, and add good/bad
examples. This should be doable without any pylint or astroid
knowledge, so this is the perfect entrypoint if you want to
contribute to pylint without investing any time learning the
internals.
* This release is the last one to support interpreter below
3.7.2, 3.6 end of life was reached in december 2021.
