is defined but not used.
Closes #4483

i.e. isn't a ``tuple`` or ``list``.
* Fix false positive ``unused-variable`` and ``undefined-variable`` with
Pattern Matching in Python 3.10
* New checker ``await-outside-async``. Emitted when await is used outside an async function.
* Clarify documentation for ``typing`` extension.

and are often times opinionated.
* New checker ``consider-using-tuple``. Emitted when an in-place defined
list or set can be replaced by a tuple.

What's New in Pylint 2.8.3?
===========================
Release date: 2021-05-31
* Astroid has been pinned to 2.5.6 for the 2.8 branch see #4527.
What's New in Pylint 2.8.2?
===========================
Release date: 2021-04-26
* Keep ``__pkginfo__.numversion`` a tuple to avoid breaking pylint-django.
Closes #4405
* scm_setuptools has been added to the packaging.
* Pylint's tags are now the standard form ``vX.Y.Z`` and not ``pylint-X.Y.Z`` anymore.
* New warning message ``deprecated-class``. This message is emitted if import or call deprecated class of the
standard library (like ``collections.Iterable`` that will be removed in Python 3.10).
Closes #4388
What's New in Pylint 2.8.1?
===========================
Release date: 2021-04-25
* Add numversion back (temporarily) in ``__pkginfo__`` because it broke Pylama and revert the unnecessary
``pylint.version`` breaking change.
Closes #4399
What's New in Pylint 2.8.0?
===========================
Release date: 2021-04-24
* New refactoring message ``consider-using-with``. This message is emitted if resource-allocating functions or methods of the
standard library (like ``open()`` or ``threading.Lock.acquire()``) that can be used as a context manager are called without
a ``with`` block.
Closes #3413
* Resolve false positives on unused variables in decorator functions
Closes #4252
* Add new extension ``ConfusingConsecutiveElifChecker``. This optional checker emits a refactoring message (R5601 ``confusing-consecutive-elif``)
if if/elif statements with different indentation levels follow directly one after the other.
* New option ``--output=<file>`` to output result to a file rather than printing to stdout.
Closes #1070
* Use a prescriptive message for ``unidiomatic-typecheck``
Closes #3891
* Apply ``const-naming-style`` to module constants annotated with
``typing.Final``
* The packaging is now done via setuptools exclusively. ``doc``, ``tests``, ``man``, ``elisp`` and ``Changelog`` are
not packaged anymore - reducing the size of the package by 75%.
* Debian packaging is now (officially) done in https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pylint.
* The 'doc' extra-require has been removed.
* ``__pkginfo__`` now only contain ``__version__`` (also accessible with ``pylint.__version__``), other meta-information are still
accessible with ``from importlib import metadata;metadata.metadata('pylint')``.
* COPYING has been renamed to LICENSE for standardization.
* Fix false-positive ``used-before-assignment`` in function returns.
Closes #4301
* Updated ``astroid`` to 2.5.3
Closes #2822, #4206, #4284

Closes #3406
* Don't auto-enable postponed evaluation of type annotations with Python 3.10
* Update ``astroid`` to 2.5.4
* Add new extension ``TypingChecker``. This optional checker can detect the use of deprecated typing aliases
and can suggest the use of the alternative union syntax where possible.
(For example, 'typing.Dict' can be replaced by 'dict', and 'typing.Unions' by '|', etc.)
Make sure to check the config options if you plan on using it!
* Reactivates old counts in report mode.
Closes #3819
* During detection of ``inconsistent-return-statements`` consider that ``assert False`` is a return node.
Closes #4019
* Run will not fail if score exactly equals ``config.fail_under``.
* Functions that never returns may declare ``NoReturn`` as type hints, so that
``inconsistent-return-statements`` is not emitted.
Closes #4122, #4188
* Improved protected access checks to allow access inside class methods
Closes #1159
* Fix issue with PEP 585 syntax and the use of ``collections.abc.Set``
* Fix issue that caused class variables annotated with ``typing.ClassVar`` to be
identified as class constants. Now, class variables annotated with
``typing.Final`` are identified as such.
Closes #4277
* Continuous integration with read the doc has been added.
Closes #3850

* Introduce logic for checking deprecated attributes in DeprecationMixin.
* Reduce usage of blacklist/whitelist terminology. Notably, ``extension-pkg-allow-list`` is an

Closes #4086
* Bump ``astroid`` version to ``2.5.2``

* New check: ``consider-using-generator``
This check warns when a comprehension is used inside an ``any`` or ``all`` function,
since it is unnecessary and should be replaced by a generator instead.
Using a generator would be less code and way faster.
Close #3165

What's New in Pylint 2.6.1?
===========================
Release date: 2021-02-16
* Astroid version has been set as < 2.5
Close #4093
What's New in Pylint 2.6.0?
===========================
Release date: 2020-08-20
* Fix various scope-related bugs in ``undefined-variable`` checker
Close #1082, #3434, #3461
* bad-continuation and bad-whitespace have been removed, black or another formatter can help you with this better than Pylint
Close #246, #289, #638, #747, #1148, #1179, #1943, #2041, #2301, #2304, #2944, #3565

Close #3564
* Add ``raise-missing-from`` check for exceptions that should have a cause.
* Support both isort 4 and isort 5. If you have pinned isort 4 in your projet requirements, nothing changes. If you use isort 5, though, note that the ``known-standard-library`` option is not interpreted the same in isort 4 and isort 5 (see the migration guide in isort documentation for further details). For compatibility's sake for most pylint users, the ``known-standard-library`` option in pylint now maps to ``extra-standard-library`` in isort 5. If you really want what ``known-standard-library`` now means in isort 5, you must disable the ``wrong-import-order`` check in pylint and run isort manually with a proper isort configuration file.
Close #3722
* Fix a crash caused by not guarding against ``InferenceError`` when calling ``infer_call_result``
Close #3690

"use-symbolic-message-instead",
"useless-suppression",
]
Close #3538
* Fix a regression where the score was not reported with multiple jobs
Close #3547
