What's New in Pylint 2.4.1?

Release date: 2019-09-25

• Exempt type checking definitions defined in both clauses of a type checking guard

  Close #3127

• Exempt type checking definitions inside the type check guard

  In a7f236528bb3758886b97285a56f3f9ce5b13a99 we added basic support
  for emitting used-before-assignment if a variable was only defined
  inside a type checking guard (using TYPE_CHECKING variable from typing)
  Unfortunately that missed the case of using those type checking imports
  inside the guard itself, which triggered spurious used-before-assignment errors.

  Close #3119

• Require astroid >= 2.3 to avoid any compatibility issues.
