relnotes/v0.20.0.md
There aren't many exciting new features this time around - our focus in 0.20 has been fixing most of the problems we
introduced in 0.19. Apart from that we've added a few new cops and implemented auto-correct for a bunch of the existing cops.
You'll also notice that the messages produced by most formatters a bit more colorful (and hopefully more readable as well).
You should also note that `AllCops/Includes` and `AllCops/Excludes` have been renamed, so you'll have to update your config files
accordingly.
Below is the list of all the gory details. Enjoy!
