We're finally able to offer a pre-release of ESLint 8 based standard 17!

This major release fully focuses on getting in sync with the wider ESLint ecosystem and doesn't in itself introduce any new rules or features.

This pre-release exists to test out the ESLint 8 related changes and discover possible backwards incompatible changes that comes with it and mitigate unintended such before a stable release.

When you upgrade, consider running standard --fix to automatically format your code to match the current set of rules.
