astroid 2.8.1

on Python PyPI

Adds support of type hints inside numpy's brains.

Closes PyCQA/pylint#4326

Enable inference of dataclass import from pydantic.dataclasses.
This allows the dataclasses brain to recognize pydantic dataclasses.

Closes PyCQA/pylint#4899

Fix regression on ClassDef inference

Closes PyCQA/pylint#5030
Closes PyCQA/pylint#5036

Fix regression on Compare node inference

Closes PyCQA/pylint#5048

Extended attrs brain to support the provisional APIs

Astroid does not trigger it's own deprecation warning anymore.

Improve brain for typing.Callable and typing.Type.

Fix bug with importing namespace packages with relative imports

Closes PyCQA/pylint#5059

The is_typing_guard and is_sys_guard functions are deprecated and will
be removed in 3.0.0. They are complex meta-inference functions that are better
suited for pylint. Import them from pylint.checkers.utils instead
(requires pylint 2.12).

Suppress the conditional between applied brains and dynamic import authorized
modules. (Revert the "The transforms related to a module are applied only if this
module has not been explicitly authorized to be imported" of version 2.7.3)

Adds a brain to infer the numpy.ma.masked_where function.

Closes PyCQA/pylint#3342
