Summary

Bento 0.8 introduces significant updates, focusing on reducing its file footprint and optimizing its features for individual use rather than team-wide adoption. The source code is now publicly available, and the release includes new checks and usability improvements. Users no longer need to manually run Bento, as it now automatically checks for issues when code is committed, analyzing only changed files. The update shifts the emphasis to a more personal workflow, allowing users to address tech debt when ready. New specialty checks, particularly for Flask applications, have been added, and support for Docker and shell file checking is now enabled. While support for JavaScript and TypeScript is paused, the focus shifts to Python web applications, especially in the Flask community, with plans to return to JS/TS later. Users can still enable ESLint using specific commands, and the Bento team remains available for support and discussion.
