Highlights

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

Rolling Back of Bundled Dependencies

In v2.5.0, we started bundling dependencies with ESLint. The goal was to create a more stable ESLint package that was functional regardless of the state of npm. Unfortunately, this process turned out to be more complicated than we expected. As we continued to get bug reports over the past couple of days, we decided to revert the bundling of dependencies for now until we can investigate further.
