ESLint v7.19.0 released

by Brandon Mills - 30 January 2021

We just pushed ESLint v7.19.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds some new features and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

With this release, we're excited to publish our revamped configuration guide. Technical writer Khawar Latif Khan spent the last several months since our Google Season of Docs project announcement digging into and improving what used to be a single dense page. The new documentation is logically organized with readability improvements throughout. Thank you Khawar!
