Version 14.18.2 'Fermium' (LTS)
Notable changes
This release contains a c-ares update to fix a regression introduced in Node.js 14.17.5 resolving CNAME records containing underscores 39780.
Also included are commits to allow Node.js 14 to continue to build and pass tests on our Jenkins CI, including adding Python 3.10 to the list of allowable Python versions for building.
v2.12.2
Fixed a false positive for unused-import where everything was not analyzed properly inside typing guards.
Fixed a false-positive regression for used-before-assignment for
typed variables in the body of class methods that reference the same class
Specified that the ignore-paths option considers "" to represent a
windows directory delimiter instead of a regular expression escape
character.
Fixed a crash with the ignore-paths option when invoking the option
via the command line.
Fixed handling of Sphinx-style parameter docstrings with asterisks. These
should be escaped with by prepending a "".
Add endLine and endColumn keys to output of JSONReporter.
Fixed handling of Google-style parameter specifications where descriptions
are on the line following the parameter name. These were generating
false positives for missing-param-doc.
Fix false negative for consider-iterating-dictionary during membership checks encapsulated in iterables
or not in checks
unused-import now check all ancestors for typing guards
2.12.1
Require Python 3.6.2 to run pylint.
2.12.0
Upgrade astroid to 2.9.0
Add ability to add end_line and end_column to the --msg-template option.
With the standard TextReporter this will add the line and column number of the
end of a node to the output of Pylint. If these numbers are unknown, they are represented
by an empty string.
Introduced primer tests and a configuration tests framework. The helper classes available in
pylint/testutil/ are still unstable and might be modified in the near future.
Fix install graphiz message which isn't needed for puml output format.
MessageTest of the unittest testutil now requires the confidence attribute
to match the expected value. If none is provided it is set to UNDEFINED.
add_message of the unittest testutil now actually handles the col_offset parameter
and allows it to be checked against actual output in a test.
Fix a crash in the check_elif extensions where an undetected if in a comprehension
with an if statement within a f-string resulted in an out of range error. The checker no
longer relies on counting if statements anymore and uses known if statements locations instead.
It should not crash on badly parsed if statements anymore.
Fix simplify-boolean-expression when condition can be inferred as False.
Fix exception when pyreverse parses property function of a class.
The functional testutils now accept end_lineno and end_column. Expected
output files without these will trigger a DeprecationWarning. Expected output files
can be easily updated with the python tests/test_functional.py --update-functional-output command.
The functional testutils now correctly check the distinction betweeen HIGH and
UNDEFINED confidence. Expected output files without defiend confidence levels will now
trigger a DeprecationWarning. Expected output files can be easily updated with the
python tests/test_functional.py --update-functional-output command.
The functional test runner now supports the option min_pyver_end_position to control on which python
versions the end_lineno and end_column attributes should be checked. The default value is 3.8.
Fix accept-no-yields-doc and accept-no-return-doc not allowing missing yield or
return documentation when a docstring is partially correct
Add an optional extension consider-using-any-or-all : Emitted when a for loop only
produces a boolean and could be replaced by any or all using a generator. Also suggests
a suitable any or all statement.
Properly identify parameters with no documentation and add new message called missing-any-param-doc
Add checkers overridden-final-method & subclassed-final-class
Fixed protected-access for accessing of attributes and methods of inner classes
Added support for ModuleNotFoundError (import-error and no-name-in-module).
ModuleNotFoundError inherits from ImportError and was added in Python 3.6
undefined-variable now correctly flags variables which only receive a type annotations
and never get assigned a value
undefined-variable now correctly considers the line numbering and order of classes
used in metaclass declarations
used-before-assignment now correctly considers references to classes as type annotation
or default values in first-level methods
undefined-variable and unused-variable now correctly trigger for assignment expressions
in functions defaults
undefined-variable now correctly triggers for assignment expressions in if ... else statements
This includes a basic form of control flow inference for if ... else statements using
constant boolean values
Added the --enable-all-extensions command line option. It will load all available extensions
which can be listed by running --list-extensions
Fix bug with importing namespace packages with relative imports
Improve and flatten unused-wildcard-import message
In length checker, len-as-condition has been renamed as
use-implicit-booleaness-not-len in order to be consistent with
use-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison.
Created new UnsupportedVersionChecker checker class that includes checks for features
not supported by all versions indicated by a py-version.
Added using-f-string-in-unsupported-version checker. Issued when py-version
is set to a version that does not support f-strings (< 3.6)
Fix useless-super-delegation false positive when default keyword argument is a variable.
Properly emit duplicate-key when Enum members are duplicate dictionary keys
Use py-version setting for alternative union syntax check (PEP 604),
instead of the Python interpreter version.
Subclasses of dict are regarded as reversible by the bad-reversed-sequence checker
(Python 3.8 onwards).
Support configuring mixin class pattern via mixin-class-rgx
Added new checker use-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison: Emitted when
collection literal comparison is being used to check for emptiness.
mising-param-doc now correctly parses asterisks for variable length and
keyword parameters
mising-param-doc now correctly handles Numpy parameter documentation without
explicit typing
pylint no longer crashes when checking assignment expressions within if-statements
Update ``literal-comparison``` checker to ignore tuple literals
Normalize the input to the ignore-paths option to allow both Posix and
Windows paths
Fix double emitting of not-callable on inferrable properties
self-cls-assignment now also considers tuple assignment
Fix missing-function-docstring not being able to check __init__ and other
magic methods even if the no-docstring-rgx setting was set to do so
Added using-final-decorator-in-unsupported-version checker. Issued when py-version
is set to a version that does not support typing.final (< 3.8)
Added configuration option exclude-too-few-public-methods to allow excluding
classes from the min-public-methods checker.
The --jobs parameter now fallbacks to 1 if the host operating system does not
have functioning shared semaphore implementation.
Fix crash for unused-private-member when checking private members on __class__
Crashes when a list is encountered in a toml configuration do not happen anymore.
Moved misplaced-comparison-constant to its own extension comparison_placement.
This checker was opinionated and now no longer a default. It can be reactived by adding
pylint.extensions.comparison_placement to load-plugins in your config.
A new bad-configuration-section checker was added that will emit for misplaced option
in pylint's top level namespace for toml configuration. Top-level dictionaries or option defined
in the wrong section will still silently not be taken into account, which is tracked in a
follow-up issue.
Fix crash for protected-access on (outer) class traversal
Added new checker useless-with-lock to find incorrect usage of with statement and threading module locks.
Emitted when with threading.Lock(): is used instead of with lock_instance:.
Make yn validator case insensitive, to allow for True and False in config files.
Fix crash on open() calls when the mode argument is not a simple string.
Inheriting from a class that implements __class_getitem__ no longer raises inherit-non-class.
Pyreverse - Add the project root directory to sys.path
Don't emit consider-using-f-string if py-version is set to Python < 3.6.
f-strings were added in Python 3.6
Fix regression for unspecified-encoding with pathlib.Path.read_text()
Don't emit consider-using-f-string if the variables to be interpolated include a backslash
Fixed false positive for cell-var-from-loop when variable is used as the default
value for a keyword-only parameter.
Fix false-positive undefined-variable with Lambda, IfExp, and
assignment expression.
Fix false-positive useless-suppression for wrong-import-order
Fixed toml dependency issue
Fix false-positive useless-suppression for line-too-long
Fixed invalid-name not checking parameters of overwritten base object methods
Fixed crash in consider-using-f-string if format is not called
Fix crash with AssignAttr in if TYPE_CHECKING blocks.
Improve node information for invalid-name on function argument.
Prevent return type checkers being called on functions with ellipses as body
Add is_sys_guard and is_typing_guard helper functions from astroid
to pylint.checkers.utils.
Fix regression on ClassDef inference
Fix regression on Compare node inference
Fix false-positive isinstance-second-argument-not-valid-type with typing.Callable.
It is now recommended to do pylint development on Python 3.8 or higher. This
allows using the latest ast parser.
All standard jobs in the pylint CI now run on Python 3.8 by default. We still
support python 3.6 and 3.7 and run tests for those interpreters.
TypingChecker
Fix false-negative for deprecated-typing-alias and consider-using-alias
with typing.Type + typing.Callable.
v2.9.0:
Add end_lineno and end_col_offset attributes to astroid nodes.
Always treat __class_getitem__ as a classmethod.
Add missing as_string visitor method for Unknown node.
Avoids build failure if monogb 4.x is installed.
Someone can always add a mongodb option to options.mk if they want, but
this is just to ensure reliable builds

Wire is a code generation tool that automates connecting components using
dependency injection. Dependencies between components are represented in
Wire as function parameters, encouraging explicit initialization instead of
global variables. Because Wire operates without runtime state or reflection,
code written to be used with Wire is useful even for hand-written
initialization.
packaged because it is a build dependency for www/grafana starting from 8.2

## [1.1.0]
### Added
* CLI: The `--path <PATH>` flag has been added, allowing users to limit
dependency discovery to one or more paths (specified separately)
when `pip-audit` is invoked in environment mode
([#148](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/148))
* CLI: The `pip-audit` CLI can now be accessed through `python -m pip_audit`.
All functionality is identical to the functionality provided by the
`pip-audit` entrypoint
([#173](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/173))
* CLI: The `--verbose` flag has been added, allowing users to receive more
more verbose output from `pip-audit`. Supplying the `--verbose` flag
overrides the `PIP_AUDIT_LOGLEVEL` environment variable and is equivalent to
setting it to `debug`
([#185](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/185))
### Changed
* CLI: `pip-audit` now clears its spinner bar from the terminal upon
completion, preventing visual confusion
([#174](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/174))
### Fixed
* Dependency sources: a crash caused by `platform.python_version` returning
an version string that couldn't be parsed as a PEP-440 version was fixed
([#175](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/175))
* Dependency sources: a crash caused by incorrect assumptions about
the structure of source distributions was fixed
([#166](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/166))
* Vulnerability sources: a performance issue on Windows caused by cache failures
was fixed ([#178](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/178))
## [1.0.1] - 2021-12-02
### Fixed
* CLI: The `--desc` flag no longer requires a following argument. If passed
as a bare option, `--desc` is equivalent to `--desc on`
([#153](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/153))
* Dependency resolution: The PyPI-based dependency resolver no longer throws
an uncaught exception on package resolution errors; instead, the package
is marked as skipped and an appropriate warning or fatal error (in
`--strict` mode) is produced
([#162](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/162))
* CLI: When providing the `--cache-dir` flag, the command to read the pip cache
directory is no longer executed. Previously this was always executed and
could result into failure when the command fails. In CI environments, the
default `~/.cache` directory is typically not writable by the build user and
this meant that the `python -m pip cache dir` would fail before this fix,
even if the `--cache-dir` flag was provided.
([#161](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/161))
## [1.0.0] - 2021-12-01
### Added
* This is the first stable release of `pip-audit`! The CLI is considered
stable from this point on, and all changes will comply with
[Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/)
## [0.0.9] - 2021-12-01
### Added
* CLI: Skipped dependencies are now listed in the output of `pip-audit`,
for supporting output formats
([#145](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/145))
* CLI: `pip-audit` now supports a "strict" mode (enabled with `-S` or
`--strict`) that fails if the audit if any individual dependency cannot be
resolved or audited. The default behavior is still to skip any individual
dependency errors ([#146](https://github.com/trailofbits/pip-audit/pull/146))

Some minor code cleanup.
open-vm-tools 11.3.5
For issues resolved in this release, see Resolved Issues section.
Added a configurable logging capability to the network script.
The network script has been updated to:
use vmware-toolbox-cmd to query any network logging configuration from the tools.conf file.
use vmtoolsd --cmd "log ..." to log a message to the vmx logfile when the logging handler is configured to "vmx" or when the logfile is full or is not writeable.
The hgfsmounter (mount.vmhgfs) command has been removed from open-vm-tools.
The hgfsmounter (mount.vmhgfs) command is no longer used in Linux open-vm-tools. It has been replaced by hgfs-fuse. Therefore, removing all references to the hgfsmounter in Linux builds.
Open-vm-tools 11.3.0
A small command line tool, vmwgfxctrl, has been added to open-vm-tools for Linux that can be used to control various aspects of the vmwgfx Linux kernel module. Currently it can both display and set the current topology of the vmwgfx kernel driver. It is useful when trying to configure custom resolutions on recent Linux distributions, including multi-monitor setups.
A command line tool, vmware-alias-import, has been added to open-vm-tools that can be used to import vgauth config data and apply it to the running vgauth service.
