UPDATE: We just published another version, 2.1.7, which contains only one bugfix: #1199.
In this release we added two new arguments to our CLI program: exclude which allows
you to exclude directories from linting and prereq which allows you to specify a file
containing declarations of the global variables used throughout your project. In addition
to that, we added support for stdin. JSHint now follows a UNIX convention where if a
given file path is a dash (-) the the program reads from stdin.
We also extended our ES6 coverage by adding support for yield statements and
import/export declarations. JSHint is still the only linter that can parse
most ES6 and Mozilla-specific JavaScript code.
