ESLint v8.20.0 released

We just pushed ESLint v8.20.0, which is a minor release upgrade of ESLint. This release adds some new features and fixes several bugs found in the previous release.

Highlights

ESLint now catches exceptions thrown by preprocessors and reports them as lint errors. This matches how ESLint already handled parser errors. Previously, exceptions thrown by preprocessors would crash ESLint.
