| What's New in Pylint 2.11 |
| *************************** |
| |
| :Release: 2.11 |
| :Date: TBA |
| |
| Summary -- Release highlights |
| ============================= |
| |
| |
| New checkers |
| ============ |
| |
| * Added ``consider-using-f-string``: Emitted when .format() or '%' is being used to format a string. |
| |
| Closes #3592 |
| |
| Removed checkers |
| ================ |
| |
| * The python3 porting mode checker and it's ``py3k`` option were removed. You can still find it in older pylint |
| versions. |
| |
| Extensions |
| ========== |
| |
| * Added new extension ``SetMembershipChecker`` with ``use-set-for-membership`` check: |
| Emitted when using an in-place defined ``list`` or ``tuple`` to do a membership test. ``sets`` are better optimized for that. |
| |
| Closes #4776 |
| |
| * ``CodeStyleChecker`` |
| |
| * Added ``consider-using-assignment-expr``: Emitted when an assignment is directly followed by an if statement |
| and both can be combined by using an assignment expression ``:=``. Requires Python 3.8 |
| |
| Closes #4862 |
| |
| |
| Other Changes |
| ============= |
| |
| * Added ``py-version`` config key (if ``[MASTER]`` section). Used for version dependant checks. |
| Will default to whatever Python version pylint is executed with. |
| |
| * The ``invalid-name`` message is now more detailed when using multiple naming style regexes. |
| |
| * Fix false positive for ``consider-using-with`` if a context manager is assigned to a |
| variable in different paths of control flow (e. g. if-else clause). |
| |
| Closes #4751 |
| |
| * Fix false positive for ``function-redefined`` for simple type annotations |
| |
| Closes #4936 |
| |
| * Fix false positive for ``protected-access`` if a protected member is used in type hints of function definitions |
| |
| * Fix false positive ``dict-iter-missing-items`` for dictionaries only using tuples as keys |
| |
| Closes #3282 |
| |
| * The ``unspecified-encoding`` checker now also checks calls to ``pathlib.Path().read_text()`` |
| and ``pathlib.Path().write_text()`` |
| |
| Closes #4945 |
