ESLint v4.8.0 released

by Kai Cataldo - 29 September 2017

We just pushed ESLint v4.8.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds some new features and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

--report-unused-disable-directives

This release includes a new CLI option that, when on, reports unused eslint-disable directives! Running this periodically will ensure that all eslint-disable comments are still relevant and up to date.

Please see the documentation for more information.
