- Update to 1.3.6:
* Class.slots raises NotImplementedError for old style classes.
Closes issue #67.
* Add a new option to AstroidManager, `optimize_ast`, which
controls if peephole optimizer should be enabled or not.
This prevents a regression, where the visit_binop method
wasn't called anymore with astroid 1.3.5, due to the differences
in the resulting AST. Closes issue #82.
* Add the ability to optimize small ast subtrees,
with the first use in the optimization of multiple
BinOp nodes. This removes recursivity in the rebuilder
when dealing with a lot of small strings joined by the
addition operator. Closes issue #59.
* Obtain the methods for the nose brain tip through an
unittest.TestCase instance. Closes Pylint issue #457.
* Fix a crash which occurred when a class was the ancestor
of itself. Closes issue #78.
* Improve the scope_lookup method for Classes regarding qualified
objects, with an attribute name exactly as one provided in the
class itself.
For example, a class containing an attribute 'first',
which was also an import and which had, as a base, a qualified name
or a Gettattr node, in the form 'module.first', then Pylint would
have inferred the `first` name as the function from the Class,
not the import. Closes Pylint issue #466.
* Implement the assigned_stmts operation for Starred nodes,
which was omitted when support for Python 3 was added in astroid.
Closes issue #36.
