+**************************
+ What's New in Pylint 2.7
+**************************
+
+:Release: 2.7
+:Date: 2021-02-XX
+
+Summary -- Release highlights
+=============================
+
+* No more duplicate messages when using multiple jobs.
+* Handling of the new typing provided by mypy 0.8
+* Python 3.6+ is now required.
+
+New checkers
+============
+
+* Add support to ``ignored-argument-names`` in DocstringParameterChecker and
+  adds `useless-param-doc` and `useless-type-doc` messages.
+
+* Add `empty-comment` check for empty comments.
+
+* Add `simplifiable-condition` check for extraneous constants in conditionals using and/or.
+
+* Add `condition-evals-to-constant` check for conditionals using and/or that evaluate to a constant.
+
+Other Changes
+=============
+
+* Fix linter multiprocessing pool shutdown which triggered warnings when runned in parallels with other pytest plugins.
+
+* Enums are now required to be named in UPPER_CASE by ``invalid-name``.
+
+* Fix bug that lead to duplicate messages when using ``--jobs 2`` or more.
+
+* Adds option ``check-protected-access-in-special-methods`` in the ClassChecker to activate/deactivate
+  ``protected-access`` message emission for single underscore prefixed attribute in special methods.
+
+* ``inconsistent-return-statements`` message is now emitted if one of ``try/except`` statement
+  is not returning explicitly while the other do.
+
+* Fix false positive message ``useless-super-delegation`` when default keyword argument is a dictionary.
+
+* Fix vulnerable regular expressions in ``pyreverse``. The ambiguities of vulnerable regular expressions are removed, making the repaired regular expressions safer and faster matching.
+
+* `len-as-conditions` is now triggered only for classes that are inheriting directly from list, dict, or set and not implementing the `__bool__` function, or from generators like range or list/dict/set comprehension. This should reduce the false positive for other classes, like pandas's DataFrame or numpy's Array.
+
+* Fixes duplicate code detection for --jobs=2+
