**************************
What's New in Pylint 2.8
**************************
:Release: 2.8
:Date: undefined
Summary -- Release highlights
=============================
New checkers
============
* Add ``deprecated-argument`` check for deprecated arguments.
* 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.
Other Changes
=============
* Reduce usage of blacklist/whitelist terminology. Notably, ``extension-pkg-allow-list`` is an
alternative to ``extension-pkg-whitelist`` and the message ``blacklisted-name`` is now emitted as
``disallowed-name``. The previous names are accepted to maintain backward compatibility.
* 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%.
* The 'doc' extra-require has been removed. ``pylint.version`` is now ``pylint.__version__`` and ``__pkginfo__`` does
not contain the package metadata anymore.
* Updated ``astroid`` to 2.5.3
