on ``copy.copy``

Closes 4405

* scm_setuptools has been added to the packaging.

* Pylint's tags are now the standard form ``vX.Y.Z`` and not ``pylint-X.Y.Z`` anymore.

Closes 4388

2.8.1

===========================
Release date: 2021-04-25

* Add numversion back (temporarily) in ``__pkginfo__`` because it broke Pylama and revert the unnecessary
``pylint.version`` breaking change.

Closes 4399

2.8.0

===========================
Release date: 2021-04-24

* New refactoring message ``consider-using-with``. This message is emitted if resource-allocating functions or methods of the
standard library (like ``open()`` or ``threading.Lock.acquire()``) that can be used as a context manager are called without

Closes 4252

Closes 1070

* Use a prescriptive message for ``unidiomatic-typecheck``

Closes 3891

* Apply ``const-naming-style`` to module constants annotated with
``typing.Final``

not packaged anymore - reducing the size of the package by 75%.

* Debian packaging is now  (officially) done in https://salsa.debian.org/python-team/packages/pylint.

* The 'doc' extra-require has been removed.

* ``__pkginfo__`` now only contain ``__version__`` (also accessible with ``pylint.__version__``), other meta-information are still
accessible with ``from importlib import metadata;metadata.metadata('pylint')``.

* COPYING has been renamed to LICENSE for standardization.

* Fix false-positive ``used-before-assignment`` in function returns.

Closes 4301

* Updated ``astroid`` to 2.5.3

Closes 2822, 4206, 4284

Closes 3406

* Don't auto-enable postponed evaluation of type annotations with Python 3.10

* Update ``astroid`` to 2.5.4

* Add new extension ``TypingChecker``. This optional checker can detect the use of deprecated typing aliases
and can suggest the use of the alternative union syntax where possible.
(For example, 'typing.Dict' can be replaced by 'dict', and 'typing.Unions' by '|', etc.)
Make sure to check the config options if you plan on using it!

* Reactivates old counts in report mode.

Closes 3819

* During detection of ``inconsistent-return-statements`` consider that ``assert False`` is a return node.

Closes 4019

* Run will not fail if score exactly equals ``config.fail_under``.

* Functions that never returns may declare ``NoReturn`` as type hints, so that
``inconsistent-return-statements`` is not emitted.

Closes 4122, 4188

* Improved protected access checks to allow access inside class methods

Closes 1159

* Fix issue with PEP 585 syntax and the use of ``collections.abc.Set``

identified as class constants. Now, class variables annotated with
``typing.Final`` are identified as such.

Closes 4277

* Continuous integration with read the doc has been added.

Closes 3850

* Don't show ``DuplicateBasesError`` for attribute access

* Fix crash when checking ``setup.cfg`` for pylint config when there are non-ascii characters in there
