Following the revocation of version 2.9.0, we observed an extended "release
candidate" phase where we encouraged users to vet JSHint for undesirable
changes in behavior. During that time, we identified and resolved a number of
such regressions. This release comprises all changes from the release candidate
phase along with the improvements initially released as version 2.9.0. This
release does not itself contain any changes to the codebase. If you are
upgrading from version 2.8.0 or earlier, please refer to the
previously-published release notes for details on bug fixes and features--these
can be found in the project's CHANGELOG.md
file and on the project's website.
