************************** What's New in Pylint 2.6 ************************** :Release: 2.6 :Date: 2020-08-20 Summary -- Release highlights ============================= * ``bad-continuation`` and ``bad-whitespace`` have been removed. ``black`` or another formatter can help you with this better than Pylint * Added support for isort 5 New checkers ============ * Add ``super-with-arguments`` check for flagging instances of Python 2 style super calls. * Add ``raise-missing-from`` check for exceptions that should have a cause. Other Changes ============= * ``bad-continuation`` and ``bad-whitespace`` have been removed. ``black`` or another formatter can help you with this better than Pylint * The ``no-space-check`` option has been removed, it's no longer possible to consider empty line like a ``trailing-whitespace`` by using clever options. * ``mixed-indentation`` has been removed, it is no longer useful since TabError is included directly in python3 * Fix superfluous-parens false-positive for the walrus operator * Add support for 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. .. _the migration guide in isort documentation: https://timothycrosley.github.io/isort/docs/upgrade_guides/5.0.0/#known_standard_library
