ESLint v5.8.0 released

We just pushed ESLint v5.8.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds some new features and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

• The Linter API now has a static version property, for consistency with the CLIEngine.version property. (Previously, the version property was only present on instances of Linter rather than Linter itself.)
