+## [2.9.1-rc1](https://github.com/jshint/jshint/compare/2.9.0...v2.9.1-rc1) (2015-11-12)
+
+Version 2.9.0 was revoked shortly after its release due to a number of
+regressions. Although the underlying issues have been resolved, we are
+sensitive to the possibility that there may be still more; as mentioned in
+2.9.0's release notes, the variable tracking system saw a significant
+refactoring.
+
+In an effort to minimize friction with a new version, we're publishing a
+release candidate and requesting feedback from early adopters. Please give it a
+try in your projects and let us know about any surprising behavior!
