[ANN] pylint 0.14 / logilab-astng 0.17.2

[Sylvain Thénault]

Hi there!

I'm pleased to announce a new release of pylint [1] and logilab-astng
[2]. I haven't personally found a lot of time to work on those projects
since the latest releases but others contributors have and so I decided
to publish releases including various contributions and other minor bug
or crash fixes (some of which were pending for a while now). You're
greatly encouraged to upgrade, see projects'changelog for more
information about what changed.

Many thanks to every people who contributed!

Can you please give an overview of the major user-visible changes?
That will help in convincing people to upgrade.
