Pylint: PyLint 2.6.2 released with changelog specifying 2.7.0
Question
I noticed that Pylint 2.6.2 is out, but the changelog specifies changes in 2.7.0, without any mention 2.6.2. Was 2.6.2 supposed to be released as 2.7.0?

2.6.2 only have a very minimal change compared to 2.6.0: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/compare/pylint-2.6.0...pylint-2.6.2. It seems it was in order to fix #4097.
I'm not sure what happened with version 2.6.1 though, I guess it must have been a bad release in some way.
2.7.0 doesn't seem to have been released yet.

2.6.1 was a fail, the 2.6 branch was not exactly based on pylint 2.6.0 as I assumed it was. 2.6.2 is the fix (2.6.1 rebased on the 2.6.0 tag). I released fast because when pylint latest version crash a lot of persons have broken builds and the thumbsups on issue accumulate fast.. :) More detail on why 2.6.x version are almost empty if you're curious : #3831
TLDR : We've released astroid 2.5 yesterday which caused the problem with 2.6 that we had to fix, and we're going to release 2.7 very soon (once we make sure there is no problem with astroid 2.5 by checking the issues that were reported today).
