astng 0.20.0 and pylint 0.20.0 releases

[Emile Anclin]

Hi,

We are happy to announce astng 0.20.0 and pylint 0.20.0 releases.

Pylint http://www.logilab.org/project/pylint is a static code checker 
based on Astng, both depending on logilab-common 0.49.

Astng http://www.logilab.org/project/logilab-astng builds an enhanced 
Abstract Syntax Tree for Pylint.

Astng 0.20.0 is a major refactoring and speed improvement, all along 
fixing a lot of important bugs: 
http://www.logilab.org/project/logilab-astng/0.20.0

Pylint 0.20.0 uses the new Astng, and fixes a lot of bugs too, adding some 
new functionalities:

#5564: Parameters with leading "_" shouldn't count as "local" variables
#18860: warn on assert( a, b ?)
#9776: warning if return or break inside a finally
#9982: specific message for NotImplemented exception

For a full list, check http://www.logilab.org/project/pylint/0.20.0

We would like to thank all people who contributed to this release,
especially

PYLINT :

* Colin Moris' patch closed #9263: no W0613 for __init__ (method does not 
  use all of its arguments)

* Johnson Fletcher implemented #18860, new W0199 message on assert (a, b)

* Daniel Harding, Jonathan Hartley and Pierre Rouleau solved the windows 
  batch files problems.

ASTNG :

* Edward K. Ream / Tom Fleck patch closes #19641 (maximum recursion depth

Also, we would thank all people who found new bugs, added interesting 
tickets and helped with their suggestions to improve pylint and keep the 
project alive.
