You can use +`pyupgrade`_ to migrate your old ``%`` and ``format()`` automatically. + +We added a new extension ``SetMembershipChecker`` that will advise the +use of set for membership test, as it's more performant than lists or tuples. +The ``CodeStyleChecker`` also got some love, check it out if you're not already +using it. + +We fixed some long standing bugs, false positives, or false negatives and +we added small quality of life options like ``min-similarity-lines`` that +disable the duplication check when set to 0. + +Under the hood the code for both pylint and astroid is progressively more typed, +which could be helpful to you if you're using them as libraries. In order for +this new typing to make more sense and stay simple, we deprecated some functions +or type that will be removed in the next major version. This is an ongoing effort. + +The future ``possible-forgotten-f-prefix`` check still had too much false positives, +and is delayed again.
