There are a couple of extra things we should include in the release notes blog post this time:

1. The VS Code ESLint extension doesn't yet work with ESLint v8.0.0. People need to download the beta extension (details)
2. Jest needs a workaround due to inability to support subpath exports (details)

Hi @nzakas!

It seems that the latest version of vscode-eslint has been released today. It includes support for ESLint v8 Beta.

Awesome! I've just tried it, and it works great.

@ota-meshi thanks for the info, and thanks for your work on microsoft/vscode-eslint#1317

This release cycle includes:

• @eslint/eslintrc v1.0.1
• Espree v9.0.0
• ESLint v8.0.0-beta.2

[mdjermanovic]

ESLint v8.0.0-beta.2 has been released:

Since this is a prerelease, you can merge any PRs. We'll keep this issue open until Monday in case we need to do an immediate follow-up release.

[mdjermanovic]

There are no issues that would require an immediate follow-up release, so this concludes v8.0.0-beta.2 release.
