New Release: 2.1.6

Anton Kovalyov Jul 29th, 2013

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.
