ESLint v4.0.0 released

Highlights

• There are several breaking changes in 4.0.0. We’ve created a migration guide to explain the breaking changes and describe how to upgrade.
• Seven new rules have been added:
  • array-element-newline
  • semi-style
  • padding-line-between-statements
  • for-direction
  • switch-colon-spacing
  • array-bracket-newline
  • no-buffer-constructor
• Two rules are now autofixable with the --fix flag:
  • no-debugger
  • no-confusing-arrow
• Three rules have been deprecated in favor of the new padding-line-between-statements rule:
  • lines-around-directive
  • newline-after-var
  • newline-before-return
• Three new utility methods have been added to the SourceCode API, and SourceCode#getComments has been deprecated.
• A new option has been added to the object-curly-newline rule.
