New Feature: Type analyzer now analyzes function decorators rather than ignoring type analysis for all calls to functions that have decorators. Proper analysis requires decorators to be annotated appropriately. A new config switch "reportUntypedFunctionDecorator" to identify decorators that lack the appropriate type annotations and therefore defeat type checking.
New Feature: Type analyzer is now smarter about analyzing while/else statements.
New Feature: Type analyzer handles while True and knows that it will not exit through the bottom of the loop.
New Feature: Pyright VS Code extension is now activated automatically if a pyrightconfig.json file is present in the workspace.
New Feature: Type analyzer now specializes the parameter and return types when analyzing a method on a specialized class.
New Feature: Type analyzer now takes into account parameters to the constructor (including the init method) to infer the specialized type of an object.
New Feature: Variable ${workspaceFolder} is now expanded for paths that come from VS Code settings (like "python.venvPath").
New Feature: "Naked" raise is now flagged as an error if used outside of except clause.
New Feature: Added "--timing" switch to command-line tool to output detailed timing stats. By default, only the total time is reported.
New Feature: Command-line version can now be run with no parameters. It looks in the current working directory for a configuration file called "pyrightconfig.json".
Fixed exit code reporting in command-line version. It now properly exits with a code of zero if no errors or warnings are found.
Fixed bugs related to relative imports, especially with relative imports that consist of only "." or "..".
Fixed several bugs in type analysis engine related to tuples.
Removed "-P" switch from command-line tool. It was deprecated in the previous release.
