ESLint v6.6.0 released

We just pushed ESLint v6.6.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds some new features and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

• Rules can now access context.getCwd() to get the current working directory
• The use-isnan rule has a new enforceForIndexOf option
• The no-param-reassign rule has a new ignorePropertyModificationsForRegex option
• The no-unsafe-negation rule has a new enforceForOrderingRelations option
• The no-extra-parens has a new enforceForNewInMemberExpressions option

In addition, we have improved the error report locations for a number of rules with this release.
