We just pushed ESLint v2.11.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds some new features and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

This is a summary of the major changes you need to know about for this version of ESLint.

JSCS Compatibility

We’ve started our JSCS compatibility work by continuing to add new rules and rule options to fill in the gaps between what ESLint can do and what JSCS can do. This release includes the new no-useless-rename rule, which corresponds to the JSCS disallowIdenticalDestructuringNames.

You can follow our progress on JSCS compatibility by looking at the milestone.
